Got the big gist of the character down, I just have to hammer out the personal/background info. Lemme know if you got questions and nit picks, I like having questions that help me sort out and refine the character.

Doe [b]Alias |[/b] The Thing, Ridley [b]Age |[/b] 23 [b]Gender |[/b] Male is written on the birth certificate, but long ago outgrew such concepts [b]Appearance |[/b] Ridley has no "base form" like one would expect with a shapeshifter, latching instead onto certain favored aesthetics and archetypes while their flesh follows their particular muse for the day. Quite enjoying the feeling of looking down on others and the subconscious ego boost given when being the biggest thing in the room, Ridley prefers to stand between 6'4 and 7'0, clothing permitting, and have a noted tendency towards powerfully built musculatures to better react to day to day dangers. Anomalously, Ridley can weigh anywhere between 550 lbs. to upwards of 775 lbs. depending on the biomass they've consumed/shed. Containing all of this in a strictly human shell is troublesome, something they've describes as "stuffing a chest full of clothes and having to sit on it to keep it locked," so to relieve "pressure" Ridley will usually have several abnormal growths underneath the layers of cloth they tend to ware, usually a shifting pattern of scales or writhing tentacles.

[b]Danger Level/Variant Type |[/b] Class 4 Metamorph [b]Abilities |[/b] Teratomorphy - There have been countless hours spent on conjecture on whether or not Ridley is a "True Metamorph" or some sort of obscure Distortionist, but at the end of the day both camps can agree that Ridley's ability to shape form is nothing short of miraculous [i]and[/i] terrifying. Bound by only how much biomass they've consumed and time, Ridley's body has become the [url=https://scene360.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/aldo-01.jpg]playground of the mind[/url], flesh molding to his will like a [url=https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/009/595/327/20180228142257/smaller_square/bw-usagi-post-acidic.jpg?1519849378]sculptor moves clay[/url].

Flesh and bone may be increased, improved, and otherwise horrified, but at the end of the day it's just that... blood, bone, and meat. [Gear] [b]Attire |[/b] Whatever they can scrounge up, usually nothing more than a large sweater, ratty jeans, heavy boots, and a suffocating coat regardless of the weather. [b]Armament/Equipment |[/b] Besides the clothes on their back and a wallet they fill with loose change around the gang hideouts they usually stomp around in, Ridley carries with them a (relatively) large knife they knicked off a white supremacist who mistakenly shot them thinking they were a bear. Keeps it around because sometimes all you need for a good intimidation is something sharp, a can-do attitude, and a willingness to get one's hands dirty.
