I just gotta figure out what I want my sample post to be and I'll be done. [hider=Rust // WIP][img]https://68.media.tumblr.com/b58797b74014e96dce53425f34c461bd/tumblr_o8yu5wauFR1qjabr0o8_1280.jpg[/img] [color=9e0b0f]Name[/color] [i]PPK-246[/i] [color=9e0b0f]Alias[/color] [i]Rust[/i] [color=9e0b0f]Age[/color] [i]15[/i] [color=9e0b0f]Personality[/color] [i]Curious, Lonely, Straightforward, Distrustful, Determined[/i] [color=9e0b0f]Archetype[/color] [i]Alien[/i] [color=9e0b0f]Powers[/color] [i][b]Natural Abilities:[/b] Rust's species are naturally strong and tough, able to rip apart steel like cardboard and take small arms fire like it's nothing more than spitballs. Given enough time and food Rust will outgrow their exoskeleton, becoming larger and stronger but needing to dry off and harden before going back into action. [b]Redox Manipulation:[/b] A power they seemingly gained on their own, Rust is able to induce Redox in whatever he touches. This means they can cause metals to rust or flammable materials to combust.[/i] [color=9e0b0f]Weaknesses[/color] [i]Touch Required: For their abilities to work they must be in physical contact with whatever they're trying to affect. [b]Material Resistances:[/b] Certain alloys and treated metals are largely unaffected by their touch and normally flammable materials may take longer to light if they are wet. [b]Uneducated:[/b] Rust was a test subject and very little else, a full education was never on the table. They understand english but their facial structure makes it impossible to speak it and they understand numbers up to ten.[/i] [i][b]Semi-Feral:[/b] As a consequence of their upbringing Rust is more animal than person, they have a fairly self centric morality and doesn't really understand things like "Good and Evil" quite yet. They hoard food, watch everyone, and tend to treat every new person, place,or thing with suspicion. They only person they seem to have any fondness for is Superman. [b]Hatred of Medical Personnel:[/b] As doctors and needles were the reason for their rough upbringing Rust absolutely refuses to be subjected to their ministrations without the presence of Superman. Anyone with the word "Doctor" in their name is immediately put on Rust's shitlist. [/i] [color=9e0b0f]Appearance[/color] [i]Rust is a seven foot tall insectoid-like humanoid alien from an unknown planet. Their body is a storybook of their captivity and study, scars where parts were cut open and resealed are visible all over and the serial number "PPK-246" is branded on their head. Rust's kind cannot make facial expressions outside of clicking their mandibles and gnashing teeth, so one must look to body language for what's on the alien's mind. They have a magical bracelet that was provided to them that translates their thoughts to others through telepathy.[/i] [color=9e0b0f]Character Evolution[/color] As it stands Rust is basically a feral child that was found before it was too late to teach them anything. They need to break out of their shell, literally and figuratively, and grow as a person. Hopefully as Superman as a mentor they will be able to learn what it means to be a hero and a person.[i][/i] [color=9e0b0f]BRIEF Bio[/color] [i]There isn't much to Rust's story. A cabal of scientists paid an alien bounty hunter to gather test subjects in an attempt to develop weapons and gene mods. Rust was taken in as an egg and was hatched on Earth in their care, whereupon they stayed for fifteen years. It was hell, they were cut open and drilled into so many times that it's burned a permanent phobia of medical equipment into their minds. The only respite was a man named "Johnson" who became the only spark of positivity in Rust's life and the only thing that kept them from tearing the place apart, something that was most likely intentional. Somehow Superman found the place and did his superhero thing, freeing the aliens and locking away the nightmarishly inhuman scientists. Seeing the source of their torment get dismantled immediately latched Rust onto the Man of Steel, who insisted on helping their savior in any way possible.[/i] [color=9e0b0f]Notes[/color] [i]N/A[/i] [color=9e0b0f]Sample Post[/color] [Two paragraphs minimum with dialogue][/hider]
