[hider=Mercer] Name: David Mercer Gender: Male Age: 31 Physical Description: Standing at 1.9 meters in height and weighing in at 100 kg, David presents an imposing physical presence that is only heightened by his implacably calm demeanor. His keen hazel eyes are almost always moving, as if memorizing every facet of the environment and analyzing it for strategic value. Aesthetically, he has short dirty blonde hair, a small collection of mostly-healed scars, and a musculature that most would call "chiseled", due to the training he put himself through both before and after recieving his abilities. When out and about as his crime fighting alter-ego, David wears a skin-tight body glove of what appears to be a black, fibrous, non-reflective fabric, though thicker and far more durable than any conventional fabric ever could be. Fixed on top of this body glove are an assortment of semi-flexible armor plates that boast a coloration only slightly lighter than the jumpsuit beneath. To top off this ensemble, his head is encased in a black armored mask with non-reflective lenses to protect his eyes, and a vocal distorter to disguise his voice. Psychological Description: More often than not, David possesses a nearly unshakably calm demeanor, due in large part to the rapidity with which he can analyze and apply logic to almost any situation. Even when caught unawares, any true feeling of surprise is so brief that one might miss it altogether if they don't pay rapt attention. He also tends to appear aloof and distant, disconnected from the issues that normal people have to deal with on a daily basis. This is not to say, however, that he has no emotions or desires of his own, simply that his superior intellect has a tendency to overrule the pull of his heart with cool logic and deduction. Powers: Enhanced Strength - Mercer is able to lift 3 metric tons above his head, leap several stories from a standing start, and deliver blows strong enough to shatter concrete. Enhanced Speed - He is also capable of reacting to objects moving at supersonic speeds with almost casual ease, sprinting at speeds up to 450 kilometers per hour, and maintaining 200 kph speeds over long distances. Enhanced Durability - With bones that are all but impenetrable to modern firearms and a muscular structure capable of withstanding intense trauma, Mercer's durability may be the aspect most enhanced by the procedure. He is able to entirely recover from even severe wounds in hours or days, and possesses an increased resistance to direct energy assaults, such as those utilizing heat or electricity, though he is still far from immune to their effects. His resistance to toxins and disease is also potent enough to render normal doses of chemical agents entirely ineffective, and he can no longer become ill. Enhanced Endurance - He has also been gifted with immense stamina, capable of maintaining constant peak performance for over an hour before tiring, holding his breath for twenty minutes straight, and going without sleep for up to a week without suffering loss of cognitive ability. Enhanced Perception - In addition to reflexes quick enough to allow him to track bullets in-flight, he also possesses greatly enhanced senses, both the traditional five, as well as the senses of balance, timing, positioning, direction, and electroreception. In combination, these enhanced senses allow him to perform complex actions with flawless coordination and nearly perfect timing, far out-performing any human regardless of training or skill. Enhanced Cognition - Mentally, he is capable of utilizing up to 100% of his superhuman brain simultaneously, granting him perfect and instantaneous recall, the ability to perform feats of multitasking and on-the-fly calculation that would shame any modern computer, and the capability to consciously control his entire nervous system, up to and including even the autonomic functions of his body. He can not only regulate his heart rate and breath patterns, but also desensitize select areas of his body in order to endure greater pain than any normal man. On an intellectual level, he has an IQ that would likely be rated at or near 200, and can solve difficult problems and deduce details from even the smallest morsel of evidence, thinking faster and better on his feet than most people do even when given several days to study a problem. This ability is potent enough that he himself does not fully realize the extent of his cognitive functions and simply refers to it as instinct, when in fact it is his superhuman mind putting the pieces together faster than even he can consciously comprehend. Equipment: Armor - With a body glove composed of several layers of interwoven carbon nanofibers, David's armor makes him nearly immune to harm from electrical attacks thanks to a superconductive outer layer and an insular inner layer, as well as exceedingly resistant to thermal variances, able to comfortably withstand the intense heat of napalm and the cold of liquid nitrogen. It is also highly resistant to slashing and piercing, though only moderately effective against firearms, due to its inability to effectively disperse impact force. It is for that reason that he has the outside of the armor fitted with semi-flexible plating composed of high-impact polymers which are additionally even more resistant to temperature extremes than the body glove, and can withstand the impact of any modern firearm intact. Offensively, the gloves possess solid reverbium studs over the knuckles in order to further increase the power of his punches (effectively doubling it), and the entire body glove is capable of generating an electrical current that can be used both for stunning opponents, causing paralysis within half a meter of the contact area when used on a human, or for creating an intense static clinging force with a holding strength of up to one metric ton per square inch. The mask also contains a neural link to control all of the armor's functions. Shield - Constructed of molecularly aligned reverbium, this 0.8 meter concave disk is capable of reflecting a large portion of any energy that strikes its face or edges, and dispersing the rest with minimal impact on its bearer. Its unique properties also allow it to rebound off objects when thrown, without losing any of its momentum or impact force in the process, as well as striking objects with nearly twice the amount of force generated by its actual mass and velocity. A notable exception to its reflective abilities is visible light, which is primarily absorbed, partially dispersed, and only minimally reflected, giving the shield a flat gray sheen. Staves - A pair of retractable staves whose length can vary between 0.6 and 2 meters. The last 30 centimeters on each staff is constructed of reverbium and equipped with a power cell capable of energizing it, allowing each blow to deliver a significant electrical shock in addition to enhancing the physical power of the blows tenfold. At maximum output, the electrical damage is severe enough to instantly kill a human being with even a light touch. History: WIP [/hider]
