Name: Alexander, Joe, Sapphire, Sarah, Jack..... It varies. Generally referred to as 'The Exception' Age: 3 months School Grade: Sophomore. Gender: It varies Hero/Villain: Villain (kinda) Power(s)/Skills: [Slime Form] The Exception is formed from sentient slime, effectively. An amalgamation of single-celled creatures far more complex than common bacteria, functioning through a single hive mind. It is capable of taking any shape, fitting through narrow cracks, and invading even 'airtight' containers if necessary. Furthermore, due to it's composition, it possesses no vital organs, or organs of any description, and the only known way to kill it would be to destroy every single-celled creature that composes The Exception. For this reason, The Exception has a fear of fire, as fire is one of the few things that could kill it. [Cellular Alteration] The Exception exerts direct control over her body on a cellular level. Each cell is like a stem cell, capable of forming into a variety of specialized cells at a mere moment's notice. They can change in color, hardness, and perform a variety of tasks. Muscles can spontaneously form, and The Exception has recently learned to create an organ similar to the human throat, allowing for speech. Due to this, The Exception can take on human form, even a variety of human forms, and create highly advanced muscle tissue. [Improved Body] It's common knowledge that our bodies are faulty. Out of some instinctive understanding of cellular biology, The Exception creates a custom designed version of the human body, with a far more efficient energy gain rate. It doesn't require sleep, and is far faster and stronger than any human being. It has highly advanced senses, similar to those found in animals around the planet. It's sense of smell alone was calculated to be more than 200x as good as that of a human. It also doesn't feel pain unless it desires to, and is immune to almost any poison designed to affect more conventional lifeforms. [Hive Mind] The Exception's hive mind is beyond that of a biological hive mind, as seen among creatures such as ants. Instead, each individual cell has a tiny psychic capacity, creating an interlocking network of psychic communication. it's sentience is derived from this instant communication, and a skilled psychic might be able to disrupt this network, severely crippling The Exception. The Exception can be sensed by psychics, but cannot communicate psychically with other organic beings. [Acidic Touch] Through manipulation of chemicals and electrons, it's possible for The Exception's cells to break down organic matter, 'eating' it. This provides a high quantity of energy, functioning far more efficiently than the human metabolism. The harder the substance is, the longer it takes to break down, and things such as glass would take weeks to destroy. Human tissue, however, boils away quite rapidly, although this isn't The Exception's preferred method of attack. It has expressed particular likes and dislikes in food, leading people to believe it is capable of 'taste'. Equipment: The Exception can transform it's own body into almost any tool that would be necessary. Personality; The Exception is confused and easily frightened. When scared, it becomes far more aggressive. Conversations have shown that it's unsure about it's gender identity, species identity, and it's motivations. It expresses curiosity towards it's own origins, and seems to be seeking a place in the world. However, one must never forget that The Exception possesses no human empathy, and as such has no direct objection to slaughtering humans. It expresses no regret over the lives it has already taken, and has candidly stated that if it is threatened, it may kill more people. History: Nobody knows how The Exception came into beings. Some believe that it was genetically engineered to be a weapon of war, others think that it was created by a mishap of superpowers. Regardless of what created it, however, we know it started 3 months ago, in a small village. When the local police saw the strange slime creature attempt it's first transformation into human form, it rapidly escalated into a firefight. The Exception, feeling threatened, slaughtered almost the entire village, leaving alive only those who clearly showed no violent tendencies, such as small children and those that hid. In total, 13 people were brutally murdered. After being discovered, the authorities behind SUPER High School managed to calm down the Exception with use of psychics. It was found to be inhuman, as well as responsible for the slaughter, and admitted to such. The option of destroying it was discussed, but it was unknown how much force would be necessary to permanently kill it, and how many lives would be lost in the process. Instead, they chose to attempt to integrate The Exception into human society, placing it in the Sophomore section of SUPER High School, with regular counseling. It was a risk, but the data that could be revealed from studying the Exception could lead to massive leaps in biological sciences, including medicine. Appearance: Either a large pool of slime (varying colors) or any human it feels like imitating. It shows a preference for imitating human beings it likes, which is mildly creepy to said humans. Other: Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.
