But we have come to terms with our fate. Now, we do what only we can do."[/indent] [color=f49ac2][b]Alias:[/b][/color] Embryon [color=f49ac2][b]Age:[/b][/color] 23 (Annie), 21 (Jibril) [color=f49ac2][b]Gender:[/b][/color] Intersex [color=f49ac2][b]Occupation:[/b][/color] Homeless [color=f49ac2][b]Abilities:[/b][/color][list][*][u]Alien form[/u] -[indent]Tiresias can transform into their alien form in a matter of seconds, gaining a protective layer of muscle and bone tissue, minor healing factor, toxin and Earth disease immunity, heightened animal senses, improved reflexes and motor control, and increased stamina and power, as well as a tail.[/indent][*][u]Genetically-impressionable stem cells[/u] -[indent]Embryon can inject stem cells into its patients which have the ability to convert carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen in the air into biomass rapidly, about 1 pound of biomass per second. What the stem cells lack in the form of salts and minerals, like calcium, would need to be supplemented, either in the form of multivitamins, or from Embryon's own body, which Embryon would need to replenish through its diet. In this way, Embryon can easily heal most soft-tissue wounds given enough time, but mending or replacing bone requires more effort. Once grown, the stem cells lose all traces of their former alien identity, genetic or otherwise, becoming indistinguishable from the patient's own cells.[/indent][*][u]Temporary genetic mimicry[/u] -[indent]Embryon can temporarily gain non-human genetic traits by consuming biomass from the specified non-human. It takes about a day to genetically analyze the sample, and the desired trait(s) can linger for about a day. Embryon mostly uses this to acquire alternate forms of energy consumption: photosynthesis from plants, or the ability to consume sewage for sustenance from fecal microbes. Using this ability to grow an 'animal limb', while possible, is highly impractical and involves too many factors, so Embryon almost never does this.[/indent][/list] [color=f49ac2][b]Weaknesses:[/b][/color][list][*]Embryon cannot 'cure' diseases, especially if they are of genetic origin, since Embryon's cells will merely mimic the already flawed genetics of the host.[*]Embryon also cannot help a patient fight off infections since Embryon has no control over the workings of the patient's immune system.[*]Embryon is essentially 25% stronger and faster than a human at peak-physical condition, and has no ranged attacks under normal conditions.[*]Many of Embryon's abilities rely on biological processes, which generate massive quantities of heat, resulting in fever-like symptoms. This makes Embryon particularly susceptible to flame or heat attacks, though Embryon is surprisingly not resistant to cold either.[/list] [color=f49ac2][b]Equipment:[/b][/color][list][*]Duffel bag of various nutritional supplements and extra clothes[/list] [color=f49ac2][b]Bio:[/b][/color][indent]Residents of Maximum City, Annie Fang and Jibril Warsame were girlfriend and boyfriend. Annie and Jibril both attended MCU (Maximum City University, not Marvel Cinematic Universe), and though Jibril was ready to get a job after graduating with his Bachelors, Annie wanted to continue into grad school. Upon receiving her acceptance to MCU's graduate program, Jibril took Annie out on a celebratory date, where they were met with disaster. Driving along on the outskirts of the city, a meteor fell into their, crashing it and sending it up in flames. The strange meteor housed a strange, dying alien entity that sought to keep itself alive by fusing with the nearest organic material. The entity, unfortunately, didn't realize that it had collected two separate lifeforms in its gambit to survive, fusing into a single entity. Annie and Jibril are now fused into a single, androgynous being, their minds and the mind of the alien entity combined as one. Realizing that they could no longer return to their normal lives, they took on a new identity, and continued to live in the shadows of Maximum City, driven to use their curse for the betterment of others, an act which usually involved raiding hospitals and providing miraculous limb recovery or spinal cord injury recovery.[/indent] [color=f49ac2][b]Relationships:[/b][/color][list][*]Mr. and Mrs. Fang (no longer in contact)[*]Mr. and Mrs. Warsame (no longer in contact)[*]Various friends from their collective past life (no longer in contact)[/list][/hider]
