He also sports a well trimmed jaw beard. [b][color=Deepskyblue]✖|| Eye color ||✖[/color] [/b] His eyes are a soft amber brown and have a bright glow to them when he is using his barrier powers. He also has a long scar over his left eye. [b][color=Deepskyblue]✖|| Body ||✖[/color][/b] Alexander is a considerably tall man with a large build from spending many hours working out and honing his body. He would easily be considered conventionally attractive, but he doesn't pay much attention to it or really cares for that mater. one of his more noticeable features is the large tattoo of a bird of prey that covers his entire back and extends down his arms. The tattoo has hints of gold in it, based off kinsukuroi, the Japanese art of filling broken things with gold so that they are beautiful even with their imperfections but still whole. The tattoo is meant to cover up cigarette burn scars from his abusive father.

He generally keeps to himself and only regularly talks to those he is close too. He seems more comfortable being alone than with other people. It is worth noting that Alex will never try and push people away, he just has difficulty socializing. His seemingly introverted disposition aside, Alex is quite a kind and caring person. He is always willing to help and lend a hand. Even if he is already busy. Alex's policy is to help anyone who needs it. This makes any sort of act of kindness come naturally to him. Don't let that fool you though, he can be harsh if the situation demands it. Due to his upbringing, Alex will often vouch that others are more important than himself. Which leads to him having an air of modesty to him. When he can find his confidence, he is hard-working, smart, and dedicated; willing to take on any task presented to him. Now with such insecurities it would be rather surprising to see how carefree an individual Alex can be. The man is the type of person who will just go with the flow even in the worst of situations. always staying positive and doing his best to keep up the moral of the others. While simultaneously worrying if he is doing a good enough job. Alexander is a laid-back yet dedicated. He is well respected by most who know him, seen as fiercely loyal and protective to a fault. Alexander likes to think things through in a rather straightforward matter that usually involves taking problems “head on”. Even when faced with obvious hostility. Yet he is never intentionally reckless. Be careful not to cross Alex though, He has one hell of a temper. Add that to his straightforwardness and he can be annoyingly stubborn. Well that is an understatement actually, almost nothing can change his mind once its been made up if he is in one of his moods.

Rarely forgetting many details. He likes to read all manner of scientific articles and enjoys collecting both old and new books pertaining to topics such as engineering, theoretical physics and technology, super power theories, and science fiction. [color=#FFBF00]★[/color] [i]Trilingual:[/i] While a native English speaker, Alex grew up with his mother and her side of the family being Japanese while father was from a rather large Greek family. He ended up picking up both languages at a young age and kept up with both the best he could. He is now fluent in English, Japanese, and Greek. Though his Greek accent has been noted as being distinctly American sounding and he still is a bit slow at reading both written Japanese and Greek. [color=#FFBF00]★[/color] [i]First Aid:[/i] Given his desire to go down the path of a hero, Alex saw fit to take multiple first aid courses and basic medical practices. He has even gone so far as to try and brush up on anatomy every week if he can and read up on how to best treat or stabilize supers that may have unique biology. [color=#FFBF00]★[/color] [i]Self Taught Musician:[/i] He likes trying to imitate vocalists to some of his favorite songs when he was younger and ended up picking up enough skill to play the electric guitar and bass decently. He’s obviously better on bass though. He doesn’t think he’s great at it . . . His friends would say otherwise. [color=#FFBF00]★[/color] [i]Cooking:[/i] Alex has been having to feed himself for a while now and ended up getting hooked on experimenting in the kitchen and trying new foods. He really started getting better at cooking after being taught to cook “traditional” foods from his grandparents on both sides of his family. He is currently learning to bake. [color=#FFBF00]★[/color] [i]Self Defense:[/i] Alex trained in western boxing, focusing on a mix of swarming and slugging styles, and Freestyle wrestling near the end of his high school career, keeping up with his training the best he could going into collage and has recently branched off into MMA to help round out his developing style. Most coaches he has trained under have had a hard time keeping up with his physical ability unfortunately, making consistent training difficult. He had a lucky break running into a tough old brute that put him through hell but helped form his current style of fighting. [color=#FFBF00]★[/color] [i]Tech support:[/i] Alexander is skilled at fixing and modifying hardware, less so when it comes to software. He has fixed a few of the machines at his local arcade. Most of his gear for his first few costumes were made by his own hands through trial and error.[/hider] [hider=Costume and Equipment][b][i][u]Uniform:[/u][/i][/b] Currently, everything making up his costume has been bought at a store or made himself before being cobbled together. It consists of A black pair of jeans with heavily reinforced shin guards and knee pads attached to them. More elastic fabric was added here and there for more freedom of movement. A good pair of running shoes designed for flat and rough terrain, nothing too fancy but good traction. A black and white motorcycle jacket with a light grey long sleeve shirt underneath. A tactical vest from a gun store is strapped over the grey shirt before he dons the Jacket. Any and all logos have been removed, the only visible ones being simple, sky blue shields sown onto either shoulder of the Jacket. [b][i][u]Mask:[/u][/i][/b] A custom made, Spartan-like helmet made to cover his entire head. It’s black and grey in color and sports a short metallic crest. The eyes have tinted lenses while a thick mesh fills in the opening where the mouth would be visible. [u][b]Equipment:[/b][/u] - Shock Gloves : a pair of Military surplus gloves with hardened knuckles that have been modified with metal studs and wiring that he rigged up to the batteries and components of disassembled tasers. - Field Bag: A hard Shelled messenger bag that is slung onto his lower back. Filled with a good amount of first aid supplies, two burner cellphones, two rolls of duct tape, some of his electronic tools, snacks, and other minor essentials. - Helmet Equipment: Alex’s helmet, while home made, has a surprising amount of tech in it for a vigilante hero. The goggles in the helm have strong compensators to reduce glare and combat blinding light. A noise dampener helps dull audio that would possibly leave him deafened. It took him two years to get a hold of the gear to make it all work together.[/hider] [hider=Background Bio][b][color=Deepskyblue]✖|| Background ||✖[/color][/b] Alexander's life started off relatively normal. Born in one of the better parts of Las Angeles California, He had two loving parents who were well off, he himself was a bright kid and showing signs of being an advanced learner before going into middle school. His childhood was looking to be picture perfect. Or at least it would have been until his mother and all her coworkers died in an explosion, One that Alex was there for and got caught in. lucky for him, he survived. His father though didn't see it that way. Alex became the son of a single father living in an apartment in Portland Oregon. After the accident, His father gradually became the victim of bad luck, loosing three jobs and coming into debt as he struggled to support him and his son. This led to the man drowning his problems away and being at the bottom of a bottle more often then he should have been. Gradually making him into an alcoholic as the years went by. Evidently The man ended up reasoning that everything would have been better if his son had died in place of his wife. School life Became Alex's only haven away from his abusive father. He was generally liked by every student that knew him and was considered a good friend to have, this proceeded through middle school all the way into his high school career. His teachers didn't seem to notice anything amiss, His father being intelligent enough to cover his tracks and threaten Alex to keep quiet. When his high school graduation came around, Alexander was having a much more decent life. His few friends were planning to get into the same college as him, the lot of them deciding on starting up fresh on east coast. He himself had gradually became more and more active during his junior and senior years. Making friends with members of the sports teams and joining the wrestling, rugby, and football teams. He was even going to a boxing gym on his free time. Alex's growing confidence and physique seemed to keep his father from attempting anything physical anymore, still Alex found many of his possessions either broken or pawned off whenever he got back home. he ignored it mostly, looking forward to his future instead of worrying about his miserable man of a father. Then Graduation Came. On that night when they got back home Mr. Dalton had become exceedingly drunk, being disgusted with how happy his son while he stayed miserable. So, he attacked his son one last time in a fit of self induced rage, beating him and cursing the young man through slurred words. A glass bottle was broken against Alex's face, cutting a deep gash down across his left eye. It was then when Alex finally snapped, the trauma and abuse finally being too much for him. His father went to punch him again, only to have Alex punch him square in the nose. Fed up, Alex finally fought back against his inebriated tormentor. He began to attack his father, letting out years of suppressed hate and anger for everything the man had put him through, for the life he had to live every day he came home. When Alexander finally calmed down, he could no longer recognize the beaten pulp of a man before him, it was almost a shock for him, seeing the dead body of his father. Before the shock of what he had just done could fully set in, the unexpected occurred. A gas explosion. Near the bottom floor of the apartment. It rocked the building and began its collapse. Alex stumbled and tried to escape, but found every exit quickly blocked off by rubble. He tried his best to find some safe place in the falling building to ride it out, bloody and alone. with no luck he ended up waiting for the inevitable. It was then as the building came crashing down that something, miraculous occurred. He came too while emergency response were busy trying to dig people out of the rubble. He had been found crawling out of the wreckage only a few scuffs and scratches aside from the deep cut on his face. In his dazed state he wasn't even aware that he had moved hundreds of pounds of rubble out of his way before rescue workers spotted him stumbling out of the smoke. Alex was the soul survivor of the incident. After being discharged from the hospital, Alex was sent to live with his grandparents for a short time before moving cross country, wanting now more then ever to leave his old life behind. It didn't take him too long to discover his powers after settling in his new apartment in Atlas City. His shear defensive ability coupled with his kind-hearted nature inspired him to try and do some good with them. He spent a few months practicing and learning exactly what he could do with his abilities. Between his on and off part time jobs, exercising schedule, and his electrical engineering classes. With some trial and error of course, along with a few cases of property damage. Now, with his life somewhat adjusted and on track, Alex can finally see himself having a good life. Classes are going well and he has found time to practice with his powers. He has only recently been going out at night and doing serious vigilante work. It can be difficult juggling everything in his life, but he seems to manage it. Alexander is just unsure of what to do next. Stay a vigilante while perusing a mundane career or try and become something greater? Too top it off, his college seems to be a favorite spot for Super activity. But it could be worse, he could become infamous or something.[/hider] [hider=Powers and Abilities][b][color=Deepskyblue]✖ Powers ✖:[/color] [/b] [b]|| Barrier/Force-field generation ||[/b] [u][i]Shaker- 8 / Mover- 4 / Blaster-6[/i][/u] { Subclass(s): Telekinetic Shaker / Hurdle/Ride Mover / Versatile Blaster } Through focus, Alex is able to project psychic, sky blue energy into fields of force which he can manipulate into a number of relatively simple forms. The complexity of the shape is limited by his ability to imagine and mentally visualize a particular form and keep it in sharp mental focus. The size of a given psionic force projection is also limited by his ability to imagine. The smallest force projection Alex can visualize and maintain the visualization is the size of a marble. The largest solid force projection he has currently visualized and maintained is about 100 feet in diameter. He can project larger force-objects if they are hollow or thinner dimensions. Small objects at high speeds become missiles; large objects at slow speeds become rams. He can make these objects grow or shrink as desired. Force-fields are not impenetrable and usually they can be removed by an energy drain or extreme weight/force. He is able to control the surface of the field's rigidity to a certain extent. Alex can cause the surface of the field to be very hard, or as resilient as foam rubber. By making the field more resilient he is able to absorb more of the inertia of impacts within the field. He is also, through training, able to alter the shapes he creates while utilizing those shapes, often to absorb or deflect the force of impacts. Through this Alex's barriers have been shown to come close to near impregnable if constructed smart enough, an example being him creating fields and constructs through tessellations of small scale hexagons and pentagons layered on top of each other. This process has lead to exponentially stronger builds and allows him to focus on creating dozens, if not hundreds, of smaller fields to form large constructs without worry of the usual drawbacks. [i]- [u]Versatile Blaster:[/u][/i] Alex is able to throw fields away from himself to catch things with them, crush with battering force, trap and restrain, fire them like kinetic projectiles and control them in mid-air. His "bullets" and most of his other barriers can move with impressive speed, only being weighed down by their own size. In the past year he has discovered that he can pierce and cut with his barriers if built and projected into sharp shapes. further practice has yielded the potential to create mono-molecular edges. He is capable of creating steps or platforms in mid-air Or even catapult himself by rapidly forming and expanding a field beneath his feet, thus granting him greater levels of mobility. He is currently learning to ride his constructs through the air with various degrees of success. [i] Weakness/drawbacks:[/i] [list] [*]The bigger and stronger the barrier, the harder it is to hold up under duress. [*]Complicated constructs take a lot of energy to maintain for long periods of time. [*]Trying to build new constructs on the fly that he has not made previously are inherently more brittle due to the lack of tie and preparation in forming their shape and structure. [*]Alex is a living reactor of psionic cosmic radiation that fuels his barrier field abilities. this radiation can be detected and tracked if one knows what to look for. incidentally, this energy also registers as magic even though Alex himself is not an awakened individual. [*]Any reliable construct he wishes to make with his tessellation method has to first be "programmed" through hours of building, visualization, and mental training so that its creation and implementation is as fast as he can think. [*]He has to either be aware of or see the space he makes his barriers in. [*]Barriers will shatter if hit with significant force [*]While virtually impregnable, the only thing Alex seems to not be able to defend against with his barriers is sound. But anything else he can freely wish to pass through his fields or not. [*]Constant creation and maintenance of barriers is mentally taxing and can lead to blackouts[/list] [b]|| Enhanced Biology ||[/b] [i][u]Brute - 8 / Mover - 3[/u][/i] { Subclass(s): Muscle/Armor Brute / Hurdle Mover } Alexander's physiology has become completely altered and empowered by radiation from an exotic form of matter that had previously been discovered in space. The results have left him with a herculean physique, Increased density to the point that he nearly weighs a quarter of a ton, ludicrous amounts of durability, and greater physical ability. Almost all of his biological functions outside of his senses could no longer be considered human. [i]- [u]Super Strength[/u][/i]: Due to his altered biology, Alex’s strength now reaches superhuman levels. Currently, it is sufficient enough to lift approximately 25 tons with a bit of effort. If pushed he could lift and hold up nearly 80 tons with considerable strain on his body. Alex's strength is enough that he is able to punch through barriers as thick as a 4-inch steel plate. While his altered body allows him to near instinctively gauge the amount of force he exerts, Alex has been known to cut loose in cases of extreme stress often hinting that he's much stronger than his limits suggest. His strength also extends to his legs, enabling him to leap in a manner similar to other physical brutes; however, his leaping is not so impressive as to be mistaken for flying. Nevertheless, he can carry himself at speeds that outdo even the fittest of athletes. His max running speed at full tilt would clock in just over 60 miles per hour. [i] - [u]Superhuman Stamina[/u][/i]: Alex’s circulatory and respiratory systems have increased dramatically along with his muscles generating less fatigue toxins than the muscles of ordinary humans, granting him superhuman stamina. This helps him pull off astonishing feats of athleticism despite his excess mass. [i] - [u]Extreme Durability[/u][/i]: Alex's body could be described as solid Kevlar, or even titanium steel. His skin is bulletproof, tissues super-dense, and his bones are virtually indestructible. His other biological functions have altered to compensate for his altered mass and density. Alex's bones could be considered some of the strongest materials on the planet. His level of durability enables him to withstand gun fire at point-blank range and not be cut by the sharpest of blades. He can withstand heavy impacts and explosions without serious injury, and he is nearly impervious to temperature extremes, and withstand being lit on fire without suffering any serious or permanent injuries. Falling from a few dozen stories will hurt the ground under him more then himself. Most if not all concussive and kinetic forces will do next to nothing other then move or throw Alex around. -[i] Weakness/drawbacks:[/i] [list] [*]Since this ability isn't the same as Invulnerability, Alex can only take so much damage before it finally takes an effect. [*]Intense temperature, energy and pressure related abilities can still damage him if extreme or numerous enough. [*]Alex's biology and mass forces him to require a high caloric intake well beyond the average body builders needs. [*]Airborne attacks will effect Alex still. [*]While durable, Alex is still a carbon based life form composed predominantly out of water despite his unique physiology. this makes him still conductive to electricity. his density makes electricity even more dangerous if weaponized against him. [*]Isn't completely immune to pain or knock-back. [*]His senses are not naturally protected and susceptible to assault. [*]Enhanced density effects his weight. Making him much more heavier then he appears.[/list] [b][u]Power Type/Origins[/u][/b]: Esper and Deviant - Alex was caught in an explosion that destroyed his mother’s lab and left him the soul survivor of the incident. He became Irradiated from an exotic matter sample recovered from a meteorite that had been going through testing at the facility during which Alex was being given a tour of the labs with his mother. His powers would then later manifest from intense stress and trauma later in life. His barrier powers give off an energy signature similar to that found from the now destroyed sample.[/hider] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/FCbvzE0.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/FeNEUBQ.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/zr1q9nj.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/KbAyH38.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/Hd2Avny.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/HRFNxhE.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/4rITHkJ.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/yl89lTk.png[/img][/center] [center][b][u]Color Code[/u][/b]:[color=Deepskyblue]Deep Sky Blue - 00BFFF[/color][/center] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/40VppDs.jpg[/img][/center] [center]|| [url=https://youtu.be/jpJ8CbrWX_Y]The Greatest Show[/url] || [url=https://youtu.be/BEc8FJL9kHE]It took me by Surprise[/url] || [url=https://youtu.be/-CasOvkBd4M]Killer in the Mirror[/url] || [url=https://youtu.be/buYrBbwyCGE]I Cant Decide[/url] || [url=https://youtu.be/4o0WYiK52Dg]Body[/url] || [url=https://youtu.be/5IhA5JhAbu0]Everything is Fine[/url] || [url=https://youtu.be/n5TpNmS4OX0]Loosing my Mind[/url] || || [url=https://youtu.be/racmy7Y9P4M]Parasite Eve[/url] || [url=https://youtu.be/2nrSSbwtz0k]Bleed Magic[/url] || [url=https://youtu.be/ZFQ2fvg7ZMA]Halloweenie IV: Innards[/url] || [url=https://youtu.be/jGVkX5MXO14]Sweet Tooth[/url] || [url=https://youtu.be/IHoj7qvNmwk]A Little Messed Up[/url] || [url=https://youtu.be/qOb-Ha7UaEw]The Dismemberment Song[/url] || ~~~[/center][hider=General Info][color=#FF0080]✖|| Full Name ||✖[/color] Kiran Kingsley [color=#FF0080]✖|| Aliases ||✖[/color] The Candy Man, Master of Mutants, Mother of Monsters, The Flesh Sculptor, Modern-day Frankenstein, etc. [b][color=#FF0080]✖|| Costume Identity ||✖[/color][/b] Lab Rat - A hint at his albino nature and the fact that he experiments on himself as much as he does his "Test Subjects."

Various scars that resemble all manner of invasive surgery scars litter his body everywhere other then his hands and head, He also has a black biohazard tattoo taking up the middle of his back. His attire normally consists of a white dress shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbows, left halfway buttoned and polka-dotted red suspenders that supported his black pants and a pair of red high top sneakers.

He does whatever he likes as long as it pleases him in some way. With his largely amoral mindset, lack of any aversion to killing, and even giggled and smiled in excitement when committing heinous acts. He easily resists moralistic attempts to limit his creativity in his various projects. Being disturbingly cheerful partially due to his psyche and heavy substance abuse, Kiran is just as liable to laugh and joke with someone one moment as to carve them up the second. Too top it all off he can be quite narcissistic and loves to be the center of attention in any situation. Kiran is essentially a murderous sociopath. While he does like some people, he has stated that for him, what could be valuable one day could easily become trash the next, and he will not hesitate to kill anyone should they not continue to be useful in some way. He claims that he does not care for what has happened in the past, as he is only interested in what could be amusing to him in the future or present. but he is still haunted by his past in more ways then one. days where he remembers it more leaves him quite melancholic and even depressed. While Kiran's nature tends to appear malevolent, he isn't an indiscriminate killer. He has no problems killing anyone regardless of age or sex. However, he only kills people who are in his way. Above all else, Kiran cares only about having fun and the continuation of his experiments, which may or may not involve killing people on a daily to weekly basis. He also can be a whimsical liar and has a tendency to freak out or play cruel jokes on his victims. Just witnessing their uncomfortable expressions because of him getting under their skin pleases him. His chaotic nature is inherent in everything he does and makes him dangerously unpredictable. Oddly enough he seems to refuse the idea of cheating in any sort of legitimate game even if it could make him win easily. though that doesn't exempt him from being a sore loser.

[color=#FFBF00]★[/color] [i]Medical knowledge:[/i] He has a near encyclopedic level of knowledge regarding the human body. Easily recalling any number of eccentricities regarding anatomy and biology. [color=#FFBF00]★[/color] [i]Resourceful Scientist:[/i] Give this man access to any kitchen or assortment of household materials and he could create any manner of drugs or equipment he needed in little time. [color=#FFBF00]★[/color] [i]Candy Man:[/i] Odd enough, Kiran has a passion for making their own sweets. from hard candies and gummies to cupcakes and even ice cream, though most have a who knows what kind of drugs in them for recreational use. [color=#FFBF00]★[/color] [i]Master of Disguise:[/i] With a huge selection of real hair wigs, contacts, and the ability to alter their skin tone and facial structure its no wonder how the authorities have yet to ever come close to capturing this man.[/hider] [hider=Costume and Equipment][b][i][u]Uniform:[/u][/i][/b] Kiran wears a skin tight black bodysuit splattered with an assortment of bright dyes and paints. The suit itself is made of a special weave that is fire retardant, nearly impossible to cut by conventional means and resistant to small ballistic arms. extra padding is placed around the joints and a thicker mesh over vitals. An assortment of straps and holsters are worn across his torso to hold numerous pouches of drugs and modified surgical equipment. An armored white lab coat dotted with bloodstains with added pockets is worn over all this as well as a pair of dark grey cargo shorts. Kiran's hands and forearms sport somewhat clunky looking high tech gauntlets that have tubes running to a mechanical backpack. His feet are oddly left bare and rarely ever seem to bruise or get scratched at all. [b][i][u]Mask:[/u][/i][/b] [url=https://imgur.com/a/YaOHXyQ]A high tech, Custom made Black gas mask that covers his entire head with built in red lights found in the goggles and filters.[/url] The mask is completely sealed, its “filters” are actually air scrubbers that help him always breath fresh air and keep his mask vented. [u][b]Equipment:[/b][/u] -[b] [i][url=https://i.imgur.com/NU5yRoV.png]Cybernetic[/url] [url=https://i.imgur.com/Lrn9Vtm.png]Scorpion Tail[/url]:[/i][/b] A telescopic, fully prehensile tail made of a tinker smelted alloy able to smash through concrete that has been grafted into Kiran’s spine and tailbone. It can extend up to 20 feet away from him and possesses an artificial stinger on the end able to deliver anything from a deadly cocktail of poisons of Kiran’s own making to any number of his mutagenic drugs. It can retract to almost completely disappear so long as he wears baggy clothes and coats. - [b][i][color=0054a6]The Repair & Rejuvenation Pod:[/color][/i][/b] A complex container that resembles a translucent seed pod made from a strange combination of mechanical and biological technology. It is filled with a churning and bubbling soup of primordial fluids. When a person is placed within the fluid and the pod sealed, the R&R pod can be pre-programmed to commence a variety of effects on its occupant. The most fascinating being it’s ability to halt and reverse the aging process with a combination of rapid gene therapy and cellular repair to reverse longevity-related damage to protein structures and DNA alike. It is also capable of intense levels of cellular repair to mend any otherwise irreparable damage on a somatic level. This includes healing the effects of permanent neurotoxin damage, correcting physical flaws, repairing and regrowing internal damage, or even the regrowth of lost limbs. The more severe the trauma, the longer one is required to stay in the pod. Anything less then death takes no more then three days to recover fully. Any longer and the body will begin to be broken down by the pods fluids. - [b][i][color=0054a6]The Vats:[/color][/i][/b] A wide range of thick ballistic glass containers filled with viscous, bio nutrient sluries. All with a host of medical and monitoring equipment fixed to each. Through these artificial wombs, Kiran is able to create their various “specimens”, conduct nearly impossible medical procedures, and clone existing life forms almost perfectly. Kiran often works with biomass derived from humans, plants, fungi, and animals in these vats to create weaponized “creatures” and test subjects that will survive their experimentation. Typically used for one project at a time, they can construct a mass production version or even high-quality vats for specialized projects. - [b][i][color=0054a6]Auto Injectors:[/color][/i][/b] little plastic cases the size of matchboxes, complete with straps to be worn on the arms or legs, these have a set of micro needles on one face that should be facing the skin. They are set to pierce when the wearer is harmed in any way or if the top face is pressed three times in a row, thus injecting one of Kiran’s chemicals or mutagens. - [b][i][color=0054a6]The Compact Synthesizer:[/color][/i] [/b]A marvel of modern engineering fully taking advantage of Kiran's chemical powers. a mobile chemical lab equipped with an interface encoding the periodic table. The bag houses a wide range of liquid materials that are injected with syringes into capsules made of an advanced polyethylene shell. Enabling Kiran to produce chem-balls filled with different substance capable of producing a wide variety of effects by typing in the calculations for the substance on a screen found on either gauntlet. the chem-balls are roughly the size of a large marble and travel through tubing out of the Synthesizer and out of ports found in his gauntlets palms, ready to be thrown. Main Chem-Ball formulas are as followed: [list][*] Powerful Acids [*] Toxic gas [*] Adhesive slime and foam [*] Flammable gas [*] Rabid congealing and hardening resin polymer. [*] Enhanced liquid nitrogen [*] smoke screens [*] Slippery viscous liquids[/list]- [i][color=0054a6]Blast Function[/color][/i] The palm Ports in the Synthesizer can be set to a unique function when Kiran puts his wrists together with his palms facing forward. This produces hydrogen peroxide and hydroquinone separately from each hand. Combining these two substances, he can then release a spray with a high degree of pressure of extremely hot benzoquinone from his palms, creating a huge explosion not unlike a flame-thrower. - [b][i][color=0054a6]The Seed of Life:[/color][/i][/b] A device the size of a baseball, it contains distilled Kiran Kingsley. Not exactly a clone, the “seed” is meant for when things are unrecoverable. The contents of this container are linked To Kiran’s life signs and will activate if Kiran is ever killed or a weekly Dead Man’s switch, that involves a fresh sample of Kiran’s blood, isn’t reset. The seed will expand and grow over the course of a month into a perfect copy of Kiran Kingsley, with their memories, skills and experiences from the last sample given from their original body.[/hider] [hider= Laboratory Super complex] An expansive, multilayered structure deep below even the vast undercity of Titan’s Fall. A sterilized air locked elevator system is used to get to any floor Kiran wishes that requires a biometric, retina, hand print, DNA, and dental scan plus a passcode and voice recognition software to function. The entire facility is reinforced with a number of redundancies to keep structural integrity as well as keep anything and everything both in and out. Lead lined alloy Bulkheads are treated and further reinforced to sustain destructive force, intense temperatures, pressure, and corrosion. The whole facility is hive-like in structure, with only the secondary outer layer, though heavily shielded, encompassing its entirety to function as a physical defense and conceal it from nearly all forms of detection. An industrial freight system is used to move any needed “product” out of the layers for transportation. [list][*][b][u][i][color=0054a6]Level 1 - The False Surface:[/color][/i][/u][/b] A completely sterile facility that houses the best medical equipment one could ask for, including a personal trauma center. It also has a waiting room, living quarters, forensics lab, and guest space. Kiran has a small number of their Vats and specialized equipment here for use with clientele. Kiran also has a space dedicated to their wide number of pets. The space feels rather lived in and doesn’t feel as off putting as one might expect, which might be even more concerning given its primary occupant. [i]- Floor Boss:[/i] Alice. Lead Surgeon, The Flayer, Saint of Health, Lady With A Hundred Hands. [hr][hr] [*][u][i][b][color=0054a6]Level 2 - The Labyrinth:[/color][/b][/i][/u] A death trap of meticulous design and cruelty built into the city's old and forgotten pipes and tunnels. Used as a buffering shell between the first floors and the inner workings of Kiran’s true machinations. The pipes and tunnels are filled with all manner of horrifying tricks, traps, false walls and doors, and dormant creatures lie waiting to wake up and hunt any intruders. Kiran has had even more tunnels and corridors built into the existing ones. Creating an even more convoluted mess of the underground labyrinth. Strange forms of life have been dumped here to grow in less controlled environments and be monitored. Most of the nearly pitched black passageways have electronic jammers built into the walls along with tinkertech to prevent any excess amount of light from filling the tunnels to make navigation that more difficult. He even found it fitting to have some of the passages randomly open and close off in timed intervals to further increase panic and confusion. Only Kiran and select individuals can navigate this gloomy place unhindered. Some people are thrown in here to test themselves or the hunting capabilities of Kiran’s various beasts. [i]- Ever present Entrances and Exits:[/i] while virtually no present paths lead to the over city of Titan’s Fall proper, many tunnels of the Labyrinth extend into the lower reaches of the Undercity and beyond. The labyrinth's branching expanse now leaves many potential entrances and exits for the shifting structure. It’s through these tunnels that hosts of Kiran’s creatures “escape” into the ecosystem, with the more violent combat forms annually attempting to claw their way to the surface. [i]- Floor Master:[/i] Andreas, Keeper of the Gates, Saint of Terror, Game Master, Lord of the Hunt. [hr][hr] [*][color=0054a6][u][i][b]Level 3 - The Meat Pen:[/b][/i][/u][/color] A dark and foul place. Here lie still living “test subjects” that Kiran has either grown from human “blanks” or kidnapped. The live, raw materials for their numerous bio experiments. Subjects and prisoners languish clustered in various cells or cages with barely enough room to move, pressed together in great racks of moaning, sobbing people that are easily forgotten or not noticed to be missing. Kiran spends their time occasionally examining the stock and informing them of the many and varied atrocities they have to look forward to in the levels above and below. Strange, almost human figures make sure the prisoners are all kept fed, healthy, and uninjured until they are taken for experimentation. Many of these watchers are made to look like prisoners that had been taken before. All emotionless automatons of flesh now. The entire level is cleaned frequently by swarms of strange creatures that resemble a fusion of cockroaches, slugs, worms, and rats, undulating throughout the space while devouring waste and dead biomass. These vermin move through the facility entirely, keeping it both sterile and collecting every bit of usable material before throwing themselves into digestive vats on the lower levels, new swarms then being grown and released daily. [i]- Sublevel // The Hall of Clones:[/i] A series of dozens upon dozens of “pods” racked high within several connected vaulted chambers. These pods, both mechanical and biological in make, continuously clone and reproduce humans and genetic blanks for Kiran’s tests. Primarily used for creating desired mutations for mutagenic design, any undesired results are either dumped to the seventh level for processing or vented up into the second to live in the Labyrinth for a short existence. [i]- Floor Boss:[/i] Lazarus, The Clone Lord, Saint of Life, Face Stealer, Will of the Legion. [hr][hr] [*][color=0054a6][u][i][b]Level 4 - The Nest of Horrors:[/b][/i][/u][/color] The sound of braying, roaring, screaming and all manner of ungodly cries can be heard when entering this floor. Formed by multiple self contained biomes and holding cells for Kiran’s monstrous creations; this is where Kiran’s monsters are molded, trained, and given purpose. All creatures go through conditioning, modifications and manipulation to follow all of Kiran’s commands even at the cost of their lives. They can be trained to imprint onto clients and follow their commands given a week's worth of time. Most were once human, others clones and simply grown. Any and all that were once people are or will not be able to ever remember who they once were. Those with a shred of memory sometimes find themselves wailing over what they have become. Any that do remember try desperately to kill themselves then live on as the abominations birthed from the mind of a mad scientist. Food chains and hierarchy among the nests are allowed to form naturally, with every interaction and development painstakingly recorded for potential use. This is also the level in which members of the Cult of Flesh receive and cultivate their meditations - [i]Sublevel // Cauldron of Evolution:[/i] Kiran’s wide array of birthing pods and spawning pools for the continued propagation of their designed “life”. Generations of evolution distilled down into moments, as more monsters walk out of the bubbling slurries and into their nests for their master. Kiran will throw entirely “perfected” creations back into the spawning pools to see if anything greater than before will claw its way out. This, unfortunately, has led to great success. [hr][hr] [*][color=0054a6][u][i][b]Level 5 - The Coliseum:[/b][/i][/u][/color] Found within this floor's walls is a host of gladiatorial arenas and blood sport pits. Creatures and cultists are tested and pushed daily to the edge of their ability and instincts here. It is also the main rallying point for the entirety of the cult, with most of its architecture having a blend of gothic catholic styles with organic shapes and iconography. When a particular choice creation is perfected or some super wishes a boon of the LabRat, they are taken to this arena to prove themselves worthy in combat. Mutants and horrors fight tooth and claw for the research and amusement of Kiran and the few guests given the “honor” of presiding over the duels. Victorious mutants are sent to the “nest” and healed until further use, while the surviving losers are sent to the rack. Supers that don’t find themselves dead are patched up, healed and given another chance to compete if they so choose later down the line. This is also where Kiran tests their latest weapons and more violent cocktails. - [i]Sublevel // Lair of Giants:[/i] Kiran’s creatures too large for containment or stasis on the other layers are housed in massive cages here and kept docile through injections and control collars until needed. Hulking beasts here are more recognizable in works of fantasy or science fiction than the natural world. Quite a few of which require cybernetic implements to function properly from size alone. The largest of which can easily dwarf military armored vehicles and be considered small Kaiju. [i]- Floor Boss:[/i] Idris Kingsley, First Born Child of Kiran Kingsley, Grand Hierophant of the Cult of Flesh, Saint of Growth and Rebirth, Prophet of Flesh. [hr][hr] [*][color=0054a6][u][i][b]Level 6 - The Rack:[/b][/i][/u][/color] This is a place of unspeakable torment. Kiran’s dedicated Torture chambers to explore the limits of the body and senses, especially those of his more stable mutant strains and augmentation test subjects, while the failures are “vented frustration” upon. Cells dedicated to specific forms of bodily torment and psychological terror are constantly in a state of renovation. Few of which are then integrated into the second layer's many halls and corridors. This is where Kiran’s more exotic and horrific creations are inspired. A massive processor is housed in one of the walls that tears apart “finished” victims that he sees no point in keeping alive and dumps their remains into the seventh floor. - [i]Sublevel // The Trophy Room:[/i] A lavish space filled with luxuries of all kinds and soft lighting that has on display every tabloid and escapade they have performed framed on its walls. Other trophies consist of preserved body parts related to said reports and incidents all contained in labeled and dated Formaldehyde containers, as well as the masks and helmets of supers that attempted to capture or kill Kiran in the past. [hr][hr] [*][color=0054a6][u][i][b]Level 7 - The Living Waste:[/b][/i][/u][/color] A disgusting artificial swamp of rot, flesh, chemical waste, and fumes. Strange forms of flora and fungus grow here in their own wretched parody of an ecosystem, helping to break down the filth and process the gas. As usual, Kiran has found ways to make this space hostile to anyone they don’t wish to enter. Fluids are drained, further processed, and separated to be reused in the eighth level. Some stable strains of their mutated life able to interact with one another in their own strange forms of a food chain have been released into this level to form an alien environment all on its own. This level is also the birthplace of the cleaning vermin, who hatch out of translucent eggs inside massive hive mounds under the putrid waters. - [i]sublevel // The Plant:[/i] Kiran has devised how to use the Seventh level to produce their own power. This Sublevel was made as a home for the bioreactors. Immobile beasts that consume refuse from the waste above and produce electricity at a rate capable of comfortably powering the entire facility and all its levels. [i]- Floor Boss:[/i] Grendel, The Chained, Apex of Apex’s, Saint of Death, Devourer of the Weak. [hr][hr] [*][color=0054a6][u][i][b]Level 8 - The Alchemist’s Nightmare:[/b][/i][/u][/color] Kiran’s true Chemical Laboratory. Vast distilleries and containers filled with dozens of serums and concoctions line this floor. The air is thick with noxious scents that are vented into the level above for later separating and processing. A heavily contained and secured vault at this level's center houses the more volatile and deadly of Kiran’s creations. This is the level where Kiran conducts their more specific research in fleshcrafting as well as where every mutagen, poison, bioform, narcotic, and other vile experiments are designed. The heart of Kiran’s mad progress. - [i]sublevel 1 // The Airless Hold:[/i] This section of the facility is a storage area for Kiran’s non-organic materials. Large containers of ground down minerals and silicates, rows of machinery and glassware and any number of parts and equipment needed for future tinkering. This entire section is air gapped and vacuum locked, completely devoid of any oxygen or other natural gasses to prevent corrosion. Anyone entering would need to be able to either be capable of surviving in the vacuum or have some specialized equipment to not suffocate. - [i]Sublevel 2 // The Rat’s Nest:[/i] A central “hub” houses Kiran's main workspace along with their computers for monitoring and recording all new and ongoing projects as well as accessing previous data and logs. The living quarters also hold a security room that monitors every other floor and keeps each one isolated from one another. Kiran is also able to hook into the outside world's internet and media if needed from here. Their cats and corgi are able to roam free anywhere but the actual lab space. [i]- Floor Boss:[/i] Ord, Master of Science, The Chem-Fiend, Saint of Serums, Lord of Industry. [hr][hr] [*][color=0054a6][u][i][b]Level 9 - The Cold Bellow:[/b][/i][/u][/color] Kiran’s cold storage for all of their biomass stock, drugs, mutagens, and large scale stasis facility for their more “interesting” subjects. Also the location of their “flesh library” and genetic archive. One of Kiran’s most depraved creations can be found here as the storage and servers for all of their digital work. This is done through complex black market hardware and software coupled with cybernetic neural implants into dozens upon dozens of human brains that are all kept alive through self sustained “ecosystems” for each brain and the organs needed to keep it functioning. Because of this, Kiran has both the storage and computing power of the human brain at their fingertips for all of their digital needs. It is not known if any of the brains still maintain any form of their previous memories or consciousness from when they were each human beings instead of bio computer servers. This level is also supposedly where Kiran carries their magnum opus that they check on a weekly basis, the seed of life. - [i]Floor Boss:[/i] Nox, Thought Surgeon, Saint of Knowledge, Lord of the Network, Seer of Evolution, the Eyeless Watcher.[/list][/hider] [hider=Chem's & mutagens]Kiran has an extensive library of chemicals and formulas they have made throughout their career. though there are a few staple ones he has grown fond of or have gained widespread circulation through his production. [center][b][color=0054a6]- Sleeping Beauty -[/color][/b][/center] Appearance: A softly luminescent, navy blue liquid that has next to no taste but smells like lavender. Way of Usage: Injection only. Effect: A powerful tranquilizer drug used to stabilize patients suffering from severe injuries, poisons, toxins and viral infections. It lowers their body temperature, and puts one in a near death state with no real risk of death. Makes for easy use of transport as well as gives a person in a critical state more time before the situation gets worse. It’s designed to even effect unique and complex biological systems that would normally reject such a substance Kiran primarily uses this drug in various doses and potencies to help keep their beasts and test subjects in line, and of course it helps when it comes to abducting people. [center][b][color=0054a6]- Berzerk -[/color][/b][/center] [u][i]Appearance:[/i][/u] A grainy crystalline red powder that smells coppery and tastes like cheap hard liquor. [u][i]Way of Usage:[/i][/u] liquified through heat for injection or taken through the nose in powder form. [u][i]Effect:[/i][/u] A mixture of energy boosters, mutagens and physical stimulants that causes a drastic increase to physical strength that warrants a mid brute rating. Muscles and body mass swelling in size with veins becoming increasingly vascular. It also makes the user fearless, impulsive, and easily prone to violence and aggression. When on Berzerk a person becomes virtually uncontrollable by conventional means unless the drug can be flushed out of their system. People with a strong will and mental fortitude have been known to be able to handle multiple doses of Berserk at once and still retain their focus and cognitive functions, at the same time seeing a drastic increase in physical strength that would normally be granted with the average dose. [center][b][color=0054a6]- Wonderland -[/color][/b][/center] [u][i]Appearance:[/i][/u] An opalescent sugar like crystal ground into a fine powder that is scentless and tastes rather sweet like refined [u]sugar. [i]Way of Usage:[/i][/u] Either snorted or smoked in its powdered form. [u][i]Effect:[/i][/u] one of the most addictive and life damaging drugs Kiran has ever made if not taken carefully. Wonderland is an intense psychedelic that makes Acid seem tame by comparison. Users experience a pleasant dream-like sensation as slow acting painkillers take effect followed by massive amounts of endorphins coupled with hyper awareness and visceral hallucinations of all the senses. Experiences while on Wonderland are never the same. Coming down from the high often leaves the user depressed and wanting more. Has gotten popular in the artistic community. [center][b][color=0054a6]- Nitro -[/color][/b][/center] [u][i]Appearance:[/i][/u] A smoky, pale green liquid with next to no taste or scent. [u][i]Way of Usage:[/i][/u] Inhaled through an inhaler or aerosol tool. [u][i]Effect:[/i][/u] Kiran's second and most popular combat drug. This powerful cocktail is a combination of specialized metabolic boosters and synthetic adrenaline all wrapped up in a mutagen that develops temporary low to mid rated mover abilities restricted to physical speedster effects and the rare chance of short range teleportation. The effects are commonly short lived and wear off after 15 minutes to an upwards of half an hour, leaving one feeling sluggish and mentally exhausted afterwards. Prolonged use without moderation is known to cause nerve damage and degradation in reaction time as well as hand-eye coordination. [center][b][color=0054a6]- Electr-0 -[/color][/b][/center] [u][i]Appearance:[/i][/u] A drippy goldenrod yellow liquid mixed through with darker, denser globules. It tastes like carbonated lemon juice and smells similar to ozone. [u][i]Way of Usage:[/i][/u] Ingested like cough syrup. [u][i]Effect:[/i][/u] Also known as System Shock in some circles. Once drunk, it immediately awakens every single nerve ending in the body in an electric wave of intense agony. Once the pain passes, a single dose makes people much more aware as well as boosting their nervous system to become hyper sensitive. The body is then exceptionally awake and alert for some time afterwards, but users have a very low tolerance for additional pain. It is used as a stimulant commercially as a pleasure aid in S&M circles, while some have found use in it to help facilitate interrogation. [center][b][color=0054a6]- Nerve -[/color][/b][/center] [u][i]Appearance:[/i][/u] A shiny, metallic black powder that's tasteless and smells like mint. [u][i]Way of Usage:[/i][/u] Ingested in pill capsules or inhaled through an inhaler or aerosol tool. [u][i]Effect:[/i][/u] also known as “Twitch” or “Slow-mo”, Nerve causes the neural pathways of the brain to fire more rapidly, increasing bodily reflexes and perception to the point that the outside world appears to slow down. It is prized as a way of extending ecstasy, but is more commonly used by ganger’s and mercenaries who use the edge to give them lethal effect in combat. sharpens the reflexes of the user and enhances reaction time to an a near inhuman level. Commonly paired with Nitro for more extreme effects. [center][b][color=0054a6]- Compound Delta 𝛥: a.k.a Ego -[/color][/b][/center] [u][i]Appearance:[/i][/u] An oily orange liquid with a strong acidic smell and taste [u][i]Way of Use:[/i][/u] Dripped into the eyes or injected into the blood stream. [u][i]Effect:[/i][/u] a cognitive, memory-enhancement drug. Stimulating the temporary growth and flow of dendrites in the brain. Utilizing a potent, high concentration of neural stimulants and brain altering mutagens, It allows the user seemingly-total awareness and greatly enhanced thinking as well as recall akin to eidetic memory. Ego is physically and non-addictive. Psychologically however it typically causes frequent users to develop god-complexes in a very short time, believing themselves smarter than everyone around them. [center][b][color=0054a6]- Looking Glass -[/color][/b][/center] [u][i]Appearance:[/i][/u] Strange glass like crystals that have odd rainbow patterns in them when light shines through them right. [u][i]Way of Usage:[/i][/u] Crushed into a fine powder then snorted or Inhaled through an inhaler or aerosol tool. [u][i]Effect:[/i][/u] A bizarre hallucinogenic utilizing experimental mutagenic formula to induce temporary changes to the eyes and brain. The initial dose will cause a feeling of surrealness in one's surroundings while making sights and sounds more vibrant. On the other hand, when anyone partaking in Looking Glass is suddenly put under stress and the brain's fight or flight response kicks in, the user will suddenly blank out and become "Glassed" for an indeterminate amount of time, reduced to staring blankly at the pretty colors and delusions of their own mind and becoming totally unaware of their surroundings while inactive. There is a chance that their experience will be far from pleasant though, some recorded to leave lasting adverse psychological effects. [center][b][color=0054a6]- Black Lotus -[/color][/b][/center] Appearance: A strange, dark purple, bioluminescence flower that grows “naturally” on the seventh layer of Kiran’s laboratory complex. Way of Usage: Either eaten in some way or dried out and smoked. Effect: A happy little accident in Kiran’s eyes. Even they are not sure the full extent of the plant's applications yet. Minutes after taking, the user will receive a high which imparts heightened emotions and a complete invulnerability to pain. Constant use leads to stunted emotions and a decrease in empathy when not on Black Lotus. Some have thought to use Black Lotus on security and military personnel to condition them into better, emotionless killers. Kiran is fascinated by the concept and has been considering its use in their mental conditioning procedures. [center][b][color=0054a6]- Bliss-[/color][/b][/center] [u][i]Appearance:[/i][/u] Derived from the refined secretions of mutated monstrosities made to be in constant states of positive feelings. The drug itself is a soft, snow white powder with a crystalline shimmer. [u][i]Way of Usage:[/i][/u] Commonly applied through adhesive patches, but can also be ingested. [u][i]Effect:[/i][/u] Also referred to as “slappers” of “happy patches” depending on who you ask. Taking Bliss causes a powerful sense of euphoria in minutes, as well as an odd increased sense of empathy with possible auditory hallucinations. Additionally, many users have claimed that the drug allowed them to perceive in an out of body experience or even from other people’s senses. Bliss unfortunately has a complicated refinement process and has a limited supply in circulation normally. People have resorted to cutting up the patches to be sold in squares. More diluted effects but the results are still enjoyable. [center][b][color=0054a6]- Ward -[/color][/b][/center] [u][i]Appearance:[/i][/u] A silvery, non-newtonian liquid that requires shaking for it to become more viscous. Tastes metallic similar to blood but smells like artificial cherry flavoring. [u][i]Way of Usage:[/i][/u] Shaken well before being drunk as is. Does not work well when mixed with other substances. [u][i]Effect:[/i][/u] Kiran’s latest creation in the field of temporary power granting combat stimulants. This powerful mutagen when imbibed causes the user's body to “toughen” inside and out, the skin becoming bulletproof to anything that’s not a point blank shot or high caliber, and the bones becoming tough enough to survive a five story fall and not so much as crack. Essentially granting the drinker low to mid level armor brute ratings. The effects however barely last half an hour, leaving the whole body sore and skin stiff when worn off. Taking another before the first has flushed from one's system risks the high chance of intense muscle stiffening and the calcifying of the skin. It’s unknown if Kiran can make it stronger or last longer. Extreme sports practitioners and adrenaline junkies have taken a liking to Ward when they are able to get their hands on it. Ward has also birthed a new extreme form of entertainment where one takes the drug and then leaps from high places as if attempting suicide, only to slam into the ground with little injuries. [center][b][color=0054a6]- Poppy -[/color][/b][/center] [u][i]Appearance:[/i][/u] A matt black substance that looks like hard candy. Smells and tastes like blue raspberry. [u][i]Way of Usage:[/i][/u] Ingested by licking a “blot” off a piece of paper or plastic. [u][i]Effect:[/i][/u] One of the most popular party drugs on the market right now and one of Kiran’s personal favorites for its simplicity. Users experience intense giddiness, lassitude, and mild visual hallucinations. When the drug wears off, the user can feel slightly fatigued but never anything more severe then that. A genuine recreational drug Kiran made to have a good time with no extra funny business. Ended up being a dangerous gateway drug for younger crowds. This was Kiran’s first drug ever designed for sale and helped to produce the funds they needed to further their other projects early on. [center][b][color=0054a6]- Slim -[/color][/b][/center] [u][i]Appearance:[/i][/u] A thin, clear yellow liquid with no taste and an unpleasant rotten smell.. [u][i]Way of Usage:[/i][/u] Injected only, even though some try drinking it. [u][i]Effect:[/i][/u] A dietary drug that suppresses the appetite and speeds up the user’s metabolism and thought processes. Became popular among celebrities and quickly picked up by adolescents and teenagers. People on slim are energetic and prone to jumpiness. When the effect wears off, the user crashes hard. Slim users tend to suffer from attention-deficit disorders and feel unable to properly focus when not on the drug, leading to extended binges. Habitual users are often gaunt from malnutrition, which renders them susceptible to infection, especially of the teeth, gums, and mouth. Kiran made this drug as a sick joke and even sells a cure that reverses the negative effects no matter how long term. It’s unsurprisingly expensive for adults though. [center][b][color=0054a6]- Valentine -[/color][/b][/center] [u][i]Appearance:[/i][/u] a glittering pink powder that smells and tastes like strawberries. [u][i]Way of Usage:[/i][/u] smoked or inhaled. [u][i]Effect:[/i][/u] Very few people are surprised that Kiran eventually designed a drug like this. A potent stimulant and aphrodisiac used to relax, open up, and become aroused. The drug leaves the user open to suggestion, especially toward sexual encounters, and users become more sensitive to changes in light, temperature, and pressure. When the effect wears off, the user suffers mild disorientation. It’s common to take this with Bliss for intense experiences. What’s shocking is that Valentine appears to be intentionally engineered to prevent addiction or dependency. Mixing it with Bliss though seems to counteract this, so take that how you will. [center][b][color=0054a6]- Jolt -[/color][/b][/center] [u][i]Appearance:[/i][/u] A nearly see through, pale blue liquid with next to no taste or scent. [u][i]Way of Usage:[/i][/u] usually taken from a single-dose inhaler. [u][i]Effect:[/i][/u] Commonly referred to as the “dollar store Nitro” and easily mistaken for the real thing. This drug was designed as a lead in for buyers to seek out Kiran’s more exotic ability granting products. Once inhaled, the user becomes increasingly jumpy and as hyper as a caffeinated two-year-old. Next to no mover abilities manifest but all the users bodily functions are supercharged periodically. When Jolt wears off, the user crashes and is exhausted. It has become popular among smaller gangs and some lower ranking supers for gaining that slight edge in a pinch. [center][b][color=0054a6]- Turbo -[/color][/b][/center] [u][i]Appearance:[/i][/u] A carbonated scarlet liquid that smells and tastes like a common store bought energy drink. [u][i]Way of Usage:[/i][/u] Ingested only. Can come in powdered form to be mixed into other liquids. [u][i]Effect:[/i][/u] A concoction born from the idea “Can I make something more powerful than the most caffeinated energy drink on the planet?” This drink is made from a combination of synthesized hormones and other brain-regulating chemicals all blended together with a list of vitamins, minerals and some possible mutagens that couldn’t all fit on the ingredients list of any commercial can. Turbo stimulates the brain and keeps the user awake, obviating the need for sleep while granting feelings of being energized and mild amounts of increased cognitive function. The longest time a single person has remained awake on turbo is approximately 72 hours past the time of dosing without incurring any adverse amounts of fatigue or weariness. [center][b][color=0054a6]- Chimera -[/color][/b][/center] [u][i]Appearance:[/i][/u] A somewhat thick fluid unable to form bubbles that constantly changes color and luminosity. [u][i]Way of Usage:[/i][/u] Injected anywhere in the body. [u][i]Effect:[/i][/u] The most horrifying lottery imaginable. This polymorphic drug is unstable and causes rapid shifts in the recipient's cells and genetics, causing any imaginable random mutation. Survivors normally find themselves with new appearances, biological abilities and or physical features. Changes can range from easily hidden or uncanny to the horrific and monstrous. Unlucky individuals will have their bodies completely changed and unrecognizable as ever being human, some with the unfortunate side effect of having their minds intact. Other unfortunate individuals could be reduced to gelatinous biomass or even explode or rupture in any number of gruesome ways. Initiates of the Cult of Flesh are required to take Chimera and are expected to survive the effects to become a part of the cult. Most peculiarly, those that have survived taking the drug are able to take it again afterwards without fear of monstrous malformations of their flesh, and can instead expect more random and potentially helpful mutations. [center][b][color=0054a6]- Rapture -[/color][/b][/center] [u][i]Appearance:[/i][/u] A glittering gold powder with no scent or flavor at all. [u][i]Way of Usage:[/i][/u] Encapsulated in single dose pills meant to be taken once at any given time. [u][i]Effect:[/i][/u] Kiran once had the inspiration to make a recreational drug that would be stronger than anything they had made before. What came from what was nearly a weeks long obsession was an ungodly combination of highly refined and distilled psychoactive substances well beyond more potent than natural peyote. Many users consider a Rapture trip equivalent to a religious experience, with their awareness heightened to an almost cellular level. Hence the name. Unsurprisingly, coming down from a Rapture high is often accompanied by crushing depression. It is Kiran’s highest priced product and has every right to be as said by anyone who has had the pleasure of taking it even once. [center][b][color=0054a6]- GIFT -[/color][/b][/center] [i][u]Appearance:[/u][/i] A luminescent, kaleidoscopic material that can look solid, powdered, or liquid at any given time. Everyone claims it to have a different smell and taste. [u][i]Way of Usage:[/i][/u] Suspended in a clear viscous liquid and encapsulated in a single dose pill to be swallowed. [u][i]Effect:[/i][/u] One of Kiran’s greatest achievements, potentially mega project worthy. The great equalizer and destabilizer and the envy of many. The anomalous material inside this pill when swallowed causes a chain reaction within the body of mundane individuals. Kickstarting the dormant “meta gene” and facilitating the rapid development of super powers and abnormal abilities. The effects only last for an hour and repeated uses in a single day are known to easily be fatal. Each individual person is only able to manifest a single unique power when on GIFT and said power will always be the same, meaning whatever abilities are granted and at what degree of “power level” is all up to genetic chance. Already powered individuals have a 75% chance of excruciating pain and death if attempting to take this drug. The lucky 25% cause a new ability to manifest independent of their current powers. Rumor has it that Kiran has a treatment that can cause the effects of a GIFT dosage to be permanent. Though few have you courage to seek the mad tinker out even at the chance of superpowers.[/hider] [hider=Background Bio][color=#FF0080]✖|| Background ||✖[/color] Have you ever wanted to be really smart? Get perfect grades, ace every test, and even hand pick your college? Life would just be easier if you were born a genius right. Right? Kiran never Initially wanted to be a genius. But he couldn't help how his mind worked. It came at no surprise that he was as smart as he was when he scored so high on his first IQ test. His father being A math professor at A local college and his mother being A well known surgeon. His parents quickly went to work. Helping him skip a few grades in school and planning out the next years of his life. It was safe to say that Kiran never got to have A real childhood. Every day there were tests and quiz's. between the private schooling, tutors, and piles of books and homework, it was a miracle how the boy ever got any time to himself. Somehow he managed. Tucking away any hints of frustration that crept into his mind. His hard work had payed off though. Having had been accepted into Harvard's medical Program right out of High school. But it wasn't enough for his parents. So began the pre-med and college classes. College had turned out to be A blessing for the young man. He finally had more time to himself, time to make friends and even relax. Taking a liking to the many books in the library. Fiction had become sort of a fascination for him very early in the year, sparking a thought in his mind. one that he had never quite considered till now. What did he want to do with his life? couldn't he do whatever he pleased and not be just another overly smart student that became a doctor? Why couldn't Kiran try his hand at other courses, or even take some time to travel abroad? wouldn't it be healthy for him to expand his horizons? His wishes fell on deaf ears. Kiran's mother cried as his father screamed at him. Calling him selfish for just throwing away everything that they had done for him. Shoving his son away and saying five words that Kiran had been hearing almost all his life. "You could have done better."

Before even realizing what he was about to do, all Kiran could see was the look of fear in his fathers eyes as those four words echoed in his head. The bodies of his parents were found in the burnt remains of the family home. Kiran was never suspected of a single crime. Kiran would go on to become a doctor, but on his own terms. In fact he became so widely famous in his skill and surgical talents that he was often called on to help work on injured supers and save hero's in critical states. he had a flawless track record and was well off from the handsome funds he received for his work. He traveled often and rubbed shoulders with Quite literally some of the worlds most powerful people for a time. Then came the day that broke Kiran Kingsely and gave birth to the horror that would be known as Lab Rat. It was another call, nothing new. One of the worlds most beloved supers at the time had their spine damaged and needed to be operated on immediately. Kiran was even teleported to the hospital by another super to not waste so much as a moment. Time slowed to a crawl for Kiran during those hours. He almost seemed to be in a trance while he worked. After ten hours he thought it was finally over, then he sneezed. it was so sudden, nobody could have expected it. But that is all it took for what was the end of a long operation to be botched. the hero's spinal cord was severed completely. His mistake got a hero beloved by everyone killed. The media condemned him, other heroes demanded justice for his mistake. some accused him of intentionally killing the hero. His own colleagues disowned him as a disgrace of a doctor, his medical license was quickly revoked in the process. the final nail in the coffin came when one spiteful man said five, simple words. "You could have done better."

The Albino doctor disappeared from the world, but he left a trail of bodies and twisted . . . [i]Things[/i] in his wake. Nobody could say for sure where he is. But every time there seems to have been a sighting of him, the stuff of nightmares follows.[/hider] [hider=Powers and Abilities][b][color=#FF0080]✖ Powers ✖:[/color] [/b] [b]|| Periodic Synthesis and Mutagens ||[/b] [i][u]Tinker 8 / Trump 6[/u][/i] { Subclass(s): Limit + Resource Tinker / partnering, bonding, gifting Trump } Kiran can take Any sort of materials around them, so long as it’s not in an entirely solid state, then transmute and synthesize then together as they wish so long as they are in physical contact with the substances being used and the proper tools. Thus allowing them to make any chemical compound they desire, even ones that don’t seem to exist yet. Effectively having a periodic table of elements vastly larger then that which is present on earth. This allows him to create substances with a wide range of properties, as well as devices to deliver the concoctions. Such properties include but are not limited to highly enhanced physical and mental abilities, accelerated healing and regeneration, or even granting minor powers to someone depending on the kind of drug or mutagen that is made. The drugs come in different forms of liquids, jellies, syrups, or brews. They can also be made into solid form, often pills, powders, and candies. Known applications: [list][*] Accelerated Healing [*] Poison and Toxin Creation [*] Biomass fabrication [*] Medicine Synthesis [*] Reviving the recently dead [*] Chemically induced body Manipulation [*] Growth Manipulation[/list] - Weakness/drawbacks: [list][*] Unable to create the necessary material to make his chemicals and devices out of nothing, being limited to manipulating already existing ones. [*] Extensive application of drugs leads to drowsiness, possible cellular decay, addiction, and overdose. [*] Most of his Mutagenic drugs require some form of ingestion or injection, and cannot be inhaled through gas or powders.[/list] [b]|| Chemistry Intuition ||[/b] [u][i] Thinker - 4 [/i][/u] { Subclass(s): Skill Thinker } Kiran can instantly learn and understand the workings of any given chemical he can see or touch, regardless of how simple or complex. even able to calculate a plethora of chemical substances with a variety of effects in seconds. His inherent knowledge in chemistry is thorough enough for him to calculate and synthesize at incredible speeds with his standard equipment. Because of this he can comprehend the complexity of nearly any given chemical or narcotic without the need of long-term or special education, or explanation This ability is innate and cannot be turned off. - Weakness/drawbacks: [list][*] He must be able to visibly inspect A chemical to know what its made of. [*] "Alien" materials will give him next to no information until he himself samples them, even then there is no guarantee of any knowledge being gleaned.[/list] [b]|| Conditional Power: Bio-Creations ||[/b] [u][i] Tinker 10+ / Master VARIABLE THREAT [/i][/u] { Subclass(s): Mad Scientist Tinker / Created minion Master } Through years of work, Kiran has branched out from his original Tinker abilities and became a "wet" tinker of considerable threat. Specializing in creating life-forms, minions, Cloning, and accelerated growth and evolution. He's able to work with plants, fungi, and animals to create weaponized hybrids and organisms possessing a variety of abilities and even deviant powers. Its not uncommon for Kiran to make creatures that are one to one with various beings found throughout human mythology. - [i]Methodology:[/i] Through the use of genetic templets and cloned "Blanks", Kiran induces mutations in multiple groups until the desired traits manifest. They are then sampled and stored before the harvested clones are reprocessed. This continues in a form of "Shotgun evolution" until entirely new and stable creatures are made. If desired, more clones are made of the finished creature and each are introduced with GIFT to try and have a complimentary Deviant power manifest. The creatures are finalized through augmentations and modifications until everything functions at near peak condition for the creatures intended purpose. Other powers can be spliced in afterwards to make more powerful monsters. - [i]The Apex Factor:[/i] A work of horrible monstrous art. Kiran creates a bio reactor that overcharges one of their lifeforms systems nd cells while all of their present biological functions are also overclocked to create relatively short lived but horrendously powerful monstrosities. What's worse, Glands and bladders filled with mutagens will go to work when the creature is near death to cause all manner of random effects, from violent detonation to even biostability causing the Apex to become a stable creature no longer being killed by its own biology. Additionally, he deliberately makes his Apex creations sterile, for obvious reasons. - Weakness/drawbacks: [list][*] New Creatures and templets take time and resources to create. [*] Apex Creatures are nearly impossible to control and are rather unleashed from stasis or holdings. [*] New creatures take time to "break" and make loyal. [/list] [b][u]Power Origins[/u][/b]: Esper - powers Awoken through mental breakdown[/hider] [hider=Augmentations][b][i] Body Modifications:[/i][/b] Kiran has completely altered and outfitted himself with a variety of chemical, surgical and mutagenic treatments that have permanently changed his biology to the point that the only part of him that appears human is his outward appearance. Several of Kiran’s organs are replaced with bio-fabrications, specially cultured tissues, or mutated entirely. Many of his organs have had their efficiency increased while their size was able to be scaled down, thus allowing him to cram more augments and organs into his strange body. [list] [*][i][u][color=0054a6]Enhanced Brain and spinal cord:[/color][/u][/i]Through careful treatments, the neural cells in Kiran’s spinal cord and neural trunks are encouraged to replicate and lengthen. This provides a wider path for the transmission of impulses and decreases the amount of time required for the signal to traverse the distance. Thus, more information can be sent from and received by the brain in a shorter period of time. By then attaching a highly concentrated growth of grey matter to their brain, Kiran is able to increase the capacity for both their short- and long-term memory. This makes them less likely to forget events or information. This did require more nerve tissue to be added, along with convolutions and gyri (ridges and furrows), into the frontal lobes of the cerebrum. The extra cells and increased surface area improve brain functions. With the use of enhanced neural clusters placed into the motor control centers of the brain, Kiran has forcibly made themselves ambidextrous. Next, modifies we made to the hypothalamus region of Kiran’s brain which regulates body rhythms and numerous hormone-producing glands. These changes in their body and brain chemistry allow for longer periods of wakefulness. The overall effect is that Kiran requires less sleep per day, and the sleep they get tends to be deeper and more restful, with higher dream activity. The Cerebral Guard is a tiny gland that was painstakingly perfected to constantly monitor Kiran’s brainwaves, watching for unexpected spikes in activity that indicate mental assault. When mental intrusion is detected, the gland releases proteins that deflect and confuse mental attacks by overloading the chemical receptors that would otherwise respond to the mental attack. Kiran went further with this countermeasure by cultivating a secondary lobe in their brain that can shore up their mental faculties when their mind is compromised due to fending off mental assaults. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]Augmented Ears:[/color][/u][/i] This improved inner ear structure makes Kiran virtually immune to dizziness or motion sickness. The augmentation is further improved with boosts to his ear’s sensitivity to sound, making them able to hear as though ten times closer to the source of a sound. They can even filter out high or low frequencies to pick up on sound outside the normal human range. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]Altered Pheromone & Sweat Glands:[/color][/u][/i] By mutating their sweat glands, Kiran has tailored their scent and pheromones so that they can boost and mask all of their pheromone scents. Simple changes to the exocrine sweat glands changed their scent to be entirely sterile and scent-less at will. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]The Ultra Cleaner:[/color][/u][/i] This organ is implanted within the abdominal cavity and it becomes a part of Kiran’s excretory system, an emergency detoxification organ that allows him to survive exposure through the respiration, tactile contact or ingestion of poisons, toxins and gasses that are too powerful for even his enhanced immune system to normally process without this organ's help. Under normal circumstances, the Ultra Filter also acts as a regulatory organ for his unique physiology, maintaining the efficient action of Kiran’s advanced circulatory system and the proper functioning of his other organs, implanted or natural. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]Throat Filter:[/color][/u][/i] When this is installed, traps and filters are implanted at the top of the trachea just below the larynx. This cluster of specialized tissue absorbs airborne impurities and keeps them from reaching the lungs. Smoke, pollen and dust are easily blocked and expelled with an outgoing breath. Gaseous compounds are rendered inert or less effective through the various chemical reactions performed by the filters. Bacterial-sized impurities are not stopped by the filter. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]Razer Claws:[/color][/u][/i] These retractable, 2.5cm claws are composed of dense chitin layered in natural carbon fibers, sharpened nearly to a monomolecular edge and backed by complex musculature and steel-like tendons. These claws are capable of ripping open Reinforced Steel with ease as well as fatally shredding flesh and bone. They retract behind synthetic fingernail replacements and replace most if not all of Kiran’s fingertip bones in their hands. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]Unnatural Musculature System:[/color][/u][/i] Kiran has specially made Vat-grown synthetic muscle cables that are woven into Their natural muscle fibers. Calcium treatments and skeletal reinforcement are done at the same time. The Muscle system is further reconstructed, the skeletal anchor points of the muscles are relocated further away from the joints for enhanced leverage and strength performance. Corrective bio sculpting during this treatment prevents any sort of "long limbed" appearance. This increases muscle fiber elasticity in existing muscle tension, resulting in increased muscle tension and flexibility while providing a smooth, ropy physique and allows an overall increase in Kiran’s physical strength. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]Overhauled Respiratory System:[/color][/u][/i] Kiran’s lungs are lined with a bio-polymer that enhances oxygen intake and allows it to process airborne toxins or foreign gas mixtures. An average adult's lungs contain approximately 2.5 liters of air. However, the actual tidal volume the amount of air that enters and leaves the lungs with each breath is only .5 liters. After augmenting the amount of flex in the diaphragm, Kiran has increased the efficiency of gas exchange and enhanced his physical stamina. A third lung was later implanted into Kiran’s pulmonary and circulatory systems. Breathing is accomplished through a sphincter implanted into the trachea, allowing all three lungs to be used at full capacity. By installing a secondary tracheal valve and an external lining striated with oxygen-filtering nodules coats the outside of Kiran’s lungs, they are able to breathe indefinitely in oxygenated water. When breathing in water, it filters into the lining, where the nodules extract the oxygen and deposit it into the lungs. This lets them breathe underwater or in the air. He must still exhale normally. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]The Mouth:[/color][/u][/i] Kiran has mutated his jaws and face to have a second set of retractable teeth that overlap his “human” teeth when forced out. These teeth are incredibly sharp and strong enough when coupled with his enhanced bite force to tear into construction grade steel. When stuck out of his mouth, Kiran’s tongue is able to extend up to 9 inches. It’s sense of taste has been sharpened to help Kiran’s ability to analyze substances. Possesses Toxic Glands Consisting of two glands that are implanted into the salivary glands and the hard palate. These two glands working in tandem transform his saliva into a caustic, blinding fluid or powerful neural toxin when consciously triggered. This allows Kiran to spit with the effect of blinding or wounding an enemy. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]Skeleton Enhancements:[/color][/u][/i] In addition to the chemical strengthening of the skeletal structure, some especially fragile bones (such as the clavicles) have been replaced with carbon-based synth-organic components. Kiran’s spine and cranium have also been strategically reinforced with synth-organic bone grafts. Kiran somehow was able to replace their ribcage with a custom fitted internal shield of flexible bone plates sheathed in calcified cartilage that repairs itself if damaged. The bones outer structure has the consistency of porous chitin with their bio carbon fiber weave layered over it. This coupled with their normal bone treatments has left their new ribcage heavily armored to most conventional weaponry. Kiran’s legs possess an exaggerated curve to the shins compared to natural legs. Their internal structure allows for the shins to have a very slight degree of flexibility, allowing for incredible speed and the ability to exert or absorb huge amounts of force. Additionally, Kiran’s legs employ a wide array of powerful bundles of synthetic muscles. With this Kiran can easily leap tremendous distances without accelerating, like 6 meters straight up, or make a running jump of up to 8 meters. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]Enhanced Eyes:[/color][/u][/i] Kiran mutated their eyes to incorporate a structure that amplifies light and enhances their night vision. The number of light-sensitive rods and detail-enhancing cones in his eyes also increased. Like the eyes of a cat, this augmentation incorporates a mirror-like organ in the cornea that reflects light toward the retina. Under low-light conditions, Kiran’s eyes seem to be reflective and to glow in the dark. Through trial and error, Kiran stimulated the growth of a clear protective membrane covering their eyes, similar to that possessed by many animals. This "inner eyelid" protects the eyes, keeping out sand, grit, smoke and other irritants. This eye protection eases underwater activities. The membranes are light sensitive and become tinted under bright light. Further, they are polarized to reduce glare. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]Robust Immune System:[/color][/u][/i] The Pathogenic Defense involves an enhancement of the spleen, spearheading the production of more effective and aggressive leukocytes, or white blood cells. These cells are then released into the bloodstream and lymphatic system to combat disease and infection. A matched pair of peanut sized organs implanted under the armpit areas that increase the natural disease fighting abilities of the body. A network of fine tendrils spreads into Kiran’s throat, sinuses, and lymphatic system of their upper body to constantly sample body fluids for the foreign antigens that identify an invading bacteria or virus. Until activation the nodes simply act as additional reservoirs and manufacturing sights for lymphocytes, the specialized blood cells that attack infections. When an infection is detected they release lymphocytes and chemically alerts the rest of the immune system, then goes into lymphocyte production overdrive. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]Augmented circulatory system and Altered Blood:[/color][/u][/i] Kiran reinforced the muscle tissue of their arteries to increase their pumping action and accelerate blood flow throughout the body to give them the aerobic performance of an Olympic athlete. This also greatly reduces the work of their two hearts and makes their stamina finally reach high tier superhuman levels. Select growths were implanted into his bone marrow to increase and enhance his Platelets, cell fragments in the blood that play a vital role in clotting. This enhances his body's ability to handle damage by selectively accelerating the production of platelets within bone marrow. More platelets in the bloodstream help to lessen the trauma from large wounds, as the bleeding quickly stops and clots no matter the wound. Kiran’s blood is altered further to carry oxygen and nutrients more efficiently. This increased the amount of hemoglobin in his blood, making it a brighter shade of red than that of normal humans because of its greatly increased oxygen-carrying capacity. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]The Super-thyroid Gland:[/color][/u][/i] A regulating gland that was vat grown and then implanted on top of Kiran’s existing thyroid gland. This Super-thyroid Gland supersedes the metabolic functions of the thyroid, optimizing catabolism (the breakdown of complex substances, such as starches into sugars) and anabolism (the chemical conversion of substances, such as the construction of complex sugars). The altered metabolism produces more energy and effectively supercharges Kiran. However, he must ingest twice as much food and drink as the normal person to fuel the higher metabolic rate. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]Trauma Compensators:[/color][/u][/i] Multiple cultures sheaths and an array of biosynthetic mesh surrounds most of Kiran’s vital organs to help reduce shock and the chance of rupturing. Delicate compensator ribbons of transmissive nerve fiber were grown in his body through careful application, meant to help bypass the safety inhibitors of the human body. These allow Kiran to act while suffering from intense physical and mental trauma. The Compensators do not block the actual damage, only the neurological and physiological effects of shock and fatigue on the body. meanwhile any rapid drop in blood pressure, from a "Serious" or greater wound, causes rings of muscle spaced along the arteries of the limbs to contract and cut off blood flow to the injured area. Specially made valves in the veins then slam shut and re-route circulation around the affected limb. Any tissue at the wound or lower is basically considered dead, but traumatic blood loss and further damage is prevented. Limb tissue below the wound site must be removed and replaced. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]Enhanced Kidneys:[/color][/u][/i] Each of Kiran’s kidneys were rebuilt to improve filtration and reclamation. Finer discrimination in the removal of waste products and the reclamation of useful materials causes a greater level of well-being. A third minor Kidney has been added to further increase his bodily filtration. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]Twin Hearts:[/color][/u][/i] The original heart is implanted with a synthetic weave which significantly increases its capacity to pump blood. A secondary heart that resembles a smaller version of the human heart can be found connected to the rest of Kiran’s circulatory and pulmonary systems near the original heart. Its function is to enhance performance by supplying more oxygen and nutrients to the muscles by increasing blood flow well-beyond that capable for even the most fit normal human being. In the event of combat damage to or failure of the Kiran’s original heart, the Secondary Heart is usually capable of pumping enough blood through their circulatory system to maintain survival until he can treat his injuries. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]Improved Digestive System:[/color][/u][/i] Their stomach lining is toughened and modified to produce more enzymes and acids to break down matter, and the pancreas and liver are enhanced to produce improved bile and enzymes that aid in digesting food in the small intestine. The result allows the user to safely consume a great variety of organic materials as food, including roots, grass, peat and a number of plants that are normally considered inedible. An improved digestive tract also provides protection against toxic materials, such as rhubarb leaves, smooth lepiotoid mushrooms and so on. This treatment also involved modifying their taste buds and olfactory senses, making it easier for the user to "stomach" unusual foods. With further alterations to the Kiran’s exocrine glands, liver and pancreas-and the addition of tailored bacteria to the intestines, Kiran can more efficiently digest food and drink. A second or "pre-stomach" spliced into Kiran’s digestive system above the original stomach that allows him to eat otherwise poisonous or completely indigestible materials. This multi-chambered stomach is capable of biochemically analyzing ingested materials and neutralizing most known biochemical and inorganic toxins. Deadly poisons are either neutralized or isolated from the digestive tract. The Second stomach can also be isolated from the rest of the digestive tract to allow the ultra filter to break down any toxins that would be too harmful even for Kiran’s system. The second Stomach is also able to flood itself with a strange viscous fluid that puts any organic tissue into a state of suspended animation until it can be vomited back up again. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]hyper-Augmented Skin:[/color][/u][/i] Microscopic fibers thread through his skin tissue, making it much more resistant to damage. The result is Kiran’s bare skin has a resistance to damage similar to light body armor. This weave stops blades wielded by anyone without super strength and small arms bullets are useless if not fired at close range. Later on, Kiran’s dermal Armor skin was then peeled back section by section and fortified by grafts of a strengthened and reinforced collagen-protein derivative, a synthetic and more resilient form of the elastin protein and flakes of modified laced cartilage. Once transplanted, The new dermal layer grows and is virtually indistinguishable from normal skin, as the underlying sub-dermis is altered at the same time. Their skin now heals with little or no scarring. Finally a honeycomb structure was encouraged to grow beneath the skin, situated between the dermis and muscle. Not only does the framework, distribute blunt trauma to reduce physical impact, but the holes are filled with a heat-absorbent substance. This basically gives his skin a much higher melting point. Outside of powers or tech, Kiran is pretty much fireproof. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]Adrenal Pump:[/color][/u][/i] Kiran has created a small, muscular sac implanted in the lower abdominal cavity and connected to each of their adrenal glands. When dormant, the pump serves as a reservoir for adrenaline and noradrenaline. When activated, the sac contracts, sending a surge of concentrates into the bloodstream. Stress and other emotional states such as anger, fear or lust will also activate the pump. The actual combat effectiveness of the pump is variable, as the effects produced by hormones depend both on the amount secreted and the responsiveness of the tissue in question. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]Inhumanly Flexible Joints:[/color][/u][/i]This treatment replaced the articular capsules of all of Kiran’s major joints with an elastic biosynthetic material that is substantially more robust. At the same time, the socket hold and nerve density were slightly reduced. Further augmentations include joint-surface coating, relubrication and tendon and ligament augmentation designed for fluid muscle and joint action. The net effect improves the ease with which their joints can stretch, bend, be dislocated, and replaced into their respective sockets. Resulting in amazing flexibility and feats of contortion. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]Bio Anti-freeze:[/color][/u][/i] This small, flat gland is implanted in the chest cavity where it maintains Kiran’s body with a constant supply of meta glycogen, a chemical compound that prevents water in the tissues from forming ice crystals in below freezing temperatures. This makes freezing and frostbite on Kiran’s body impossible. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]Nasel Booster:[/color][/u][/i] Using receptors implanted into the nasal passages and back of the mouth, this increases Kiran’s Olfactory systems range and sensitivity to smells. This augmentation contains high-level cut offs to prevent Kiran from becoming overwhelmed by powerful smells. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]Paralysis Dampener:[/color][/u][/i] Kiran has mutated his body to possess a secondary nervous system using a neuro conductive fluid, making him almost impossible to paralyze through any type of nerve agent and allows the continuous work of his body's neural network even if the primary nervous system becomes overloaded or damaged. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]Overdrive:[/color][/u][/i] This implant plugs directly into kiran’s hearts and can be triggered to overclock each heart's performance and the circulatory system. By overclocking his hearts, Kiran’s speed, acceleration, and physical torque increase to the point that it also increases his physical damage output. When activated in tandem with his other circulatory augmentations, his heartbeats grow loud enough to be heard from a distance and their body becomes extremely vascular with their blood vessels becoming noticeably visible on the surface of their skin as well as causing the Kiran’s skin to turn a bright red color. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]High Wired Reflex system:[/color][/u][/i] This system puts the body in a state of constant seizure, these seizures are controlled by a specialized mutation within Kiran’s nervous system and spinal cord which counteracts the effects of the seizures and directs them into controlled movements. When Kiran uses this new system to move, they do so with unnatural smoothness, taking their limb and reaction speed to a new level well beyond what a natural person is capable of. Paired with Kiran’s other augmented systems, he is capable of near blinding reaction and movement speeds to the point where he could be mistaken for a low to mid tier speedster type mover. [*][i][u][color=0054a6]Lycan Node:[/color][/u][/i] This implant was carefully created and grafted onto the spinal cord. After months of “recording” it is able to perfectly retain Kiran’s “standard” form and genetic template to allow for drastic bodily transformations without causing fatal mental and physical stress. This also grants Kiran the ability to shift between “recorded” forms at will. The Lycan Node is implanted alongside mutable flex-cartilage and complex synth-skin grafts that allow for nearly seamless reshaping of their body. Their bone structure is then embedded with specialized glands that help compensate for any rapid changes in size and prevent fractures, breaks, cracks or shattering [*][i][u][color=0054a6]The Crucible:[/color][/u][/i] A marvel of chemical and bioengineering. This dormant, muscular organ connects to both of Kiran’s hearts and acts as an emergency biological fail save. In times of extreme stress, or should Kiran’s body undergo violent, damaging trauma, it expels great blurts of powerful self synthesized chemicals and tailor made mutagens. This hyper-cocktail simulates and supercharges all biological systems while also aiding in the unnaturally rapid regrowth of tissue, bone and muscle. Effectively putting Kiran’s body into overdrive while forcibly repairing it into a functioning state. The gland then falls dormant again after a brief period, and takes some time to metabolically build itself up once more for the next usage.[/list][/hider] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/MZjImaH.jpg?1[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/1HvGZEm.jpg[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/5a0V3J4.jpg[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/djyl3BA.jpg[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/03CCNSA.jpg?1[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/dCLrUdc.jpg?1[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/w7kdZLF.jpg?1[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/RKt8ma8.jpg?1[/img][/center] [center][b][u]Color Code[/u][/b]:[color=#FF0080] Deep Pink - FF0080[/color][/center] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/2o7ymRR.jpg[/img][/center] [center]|| [url=https://youtu.be/V5M2WZiAy6k]Natural[/url] || [url=https://youtu.be/pRu5wxl5frk]Bad Reputation[/url] || [url=https://youtu.be/gFCu_YK6yPE]The Vengeful One[/url] || [url=https://youtu.be/OqPVz101nd0]Uprising[/url] || [url=https://youtu.be/jzwSLNNJ7L4]This is Gonna Hurt[/url] || [url=https://youtu.be/RDuzszjrdcc]Seven Nation Army[/url] || [url=https://youtu.be/xkFZn4oPMqE]Six Shooter[/url] || [url=https://youtu.be/Sk-U8ruIQyA]Blood // Water[/url] || || [url=https://youtu.be/nU1VfYYKMDk]Rún[/url] || [url=https://youtu.be/JVZe5K3PZig]Heaven Knows[/url] || [url=https://youtu.be/4cn_woPvjQI]Black Betty[/url] || ~~~[/center][hr][hr] [hider=General Info][b][color=#7FFFD4]✖|| Full Name ||✖[/color] [/b] Nora Fagerberg [b][color=#7FFFD4]✖|| Aliases ||✖[/color][/b] Fimbulvetr, Mithral Giant, and “Frigid Bitch.” [b][color=#7FFFD4]✖|| Costume Identity ||✖[/color][/b] Boreal - Named after the North wind [b][color=#7FFFD4]✖|| Age ||✖[/color][/b] 32 years old [b][color=#7FFFD4]✖|| Gender ||✖[/color] [/b] Female [b][color=#7FFFD4]✖|| Nationality ||✖[/color][/b] Finnish [b][color=#7FFFD4]✖|| Ethnicity ||✖[/color][/b] Norse - ½ Finnish and ½ Danish [b][color=#7FFFD4]✖|| Hair ||✖[/color] [/b] Originally blond, chemically changed to be black.

Since she was a young girl, Nora has been a rather aggressive and competitive individual. Having led her to an early military career. Unfortunately she has had little time nor interest in acclimating back into civilian life, resulting in rather grim and stunted first impressions from her. A tendency towards gallows humor and blunt comments doesn’t help her much socially. Though years of service and active combat has tempered much of her abrasiveness, Nora still remains sharp-tongued and highly combative. That being said, she is extremely perceptive and adaptive, able to coolly judge which courses of action will lead to the most beneficial results and capable of thinking and acting on the fly in response to unpredictable or mutable circumstances. Due to the blame that she places on herself for the loss of her men, it is suggested that she suffers from survivor’s guilt. This has led to her becoming more emotionally distant in recent years and prone to excessive violence to anyone that she perceived as having anything to do with the death of her platoon. While she cannot be said to have a "soft spot" for anyone in particular, Nora is a deceptively caring and selfless individual despite her hard exterior. This has resulted in her being prone to taking great risks in order to protect the lives and well-being of those who have placed their trust in her.

Especially for dealing with most types of brutes. [color=#FFBF00]★[/color] Expert Marksmanship - Nora has gone out of her way to be proficient in the firing and maintenance of most military grade firearms, including experimental weapons such personal railguns, laser and plasma weaponry. She isn’t a world class sharpshooter and won’t be making impossible shots but she is by no means a terrible shot. [color=#FFBF00]★[/color] Multilingual - able to speak, write and read both English and Finnish fluently, her Danish is decent if not a bit rusty. She understands enough Swedish and Norwegian to hold a conversation but don’t expect her to be a good translator. [color=#FFBF00]★[/color] Puzzle and strategy games - Nora enjoys everything from crosswords to puzzle and strategy based video games. Is a [i]little[/i] bit of a try-hard and a completionism. She finds them relaxing . . . Until she’s playing anything multiplayer and becomes overly competitive. [color=#FFBF00]★[/color] Special forces training - To become a member of the Nordic Federations Metahuman special forces Nora was required to be trained in anti terror and “villain” tactics, extreme environment conditioning, extensive medical and survival training to be effective even as an independent unit. This has left Nora both tough as nails figuratively and literal as a person can be without being a brute.[/hider] [hider=Costume and Equipment][b][i][u]Uniform:[/u][/i][/b] - Winter’s Vestments: Nora’s repurposed costume and armor. Designed to make her look more bulky and compensate for colder conditions, built to last with Kevlar weave and hard plates. A sophisticated internal heating system was painstakingly designed and changed through her career to almost entirely mitigate Nora’s own lack of protection from freezing temperatures and sub-zero exposure. [b][i][u]Mask:[/u][/i][/b] [u][b]Equipment:[/b][/u] - [i]Custom M14 Taurus “Iron Bull” Magnum[/i]: The love child of the Dirty Harry and futuristic design, the Taurus shines when reliability and stopping power are needed in a [i]Relatively[/i] compact form. This high caliber, hand cannon of a revolver has a custom ergonomic grip to mitigate heavy recoil in heavy-G to low-G environments. It has been outfitted with a match trigger group bringing its pull weight down to 1.5 lbs. New age polymers and alloys make maintenance outside of cleaning nearly a thing of the past. Other modifications are reinforced chambers and rifling for custom rounds, forward rail plates, a rear mounted iron-dot reflex sight, and DNA coding and palm scan to prevent theft. Ammunition types include hollow point slugs, 12- gauge buckshot shells, high intensity Incendiary rounds, EMP “havoc” shot, and mass reactive high explosive “bolts”. - [i]M20 Hammerhead MK.3 Light Machine Gun[/i]: Durable and rugged, the Hammerhead is constructed largely from ultra-light alloy precision metal stampings, with a titanium aluminum alloy outer casing and high-impact, temperature resistant polymers. Fully sealed against corrosion, dirt and moisture. It’s electronics are hardened for many of its internal parts. Making it usable in any environment. Loaded with .50 caliber Full metal jacket rounds or hollow point from two under-slung box magazines, each able to be fired in full auto or five round bursts. -[i] Prototype.MK2 Linear fusion Mass Accelerator Cannon, AKA “Æsadrepar” or the God Killer:[/i] An R&D railgun. This personal mass accelerator propels a small rod of tungsten alloy tipped with depleted uranium using precisely-controlled electromagnetic attraction and repulsion. The weapons barrel makes use of electromagnetically-induced linear acceleration to fire its ammunition at hypersonic speeds, allowing the weapon to possess an extreme range. The resulting high levels of kinetic force imparted to the weapon's projectile allows it to devastate and destroy the most heavily armored vehicles on impact, even at extremely long ranges. Because the projectile is capable of achieving a velocity of anywhere between six and ten times the speed of sound, it generates a tremendous force when it strikes its target that is often far more than would be produced by a shaped explosive charge of the same size. As such, the speed of the projectile is enough to punch through virtually any amount of conventional armor and overload kinetic barriers. The rod-like ammunition is designed to squash or shatter after impact, increasing the energy it transfers to the target to maximize its effectiveness. At the weapons core is an unusual amber like substance which contains an insect of unknown species and origin, but is able to produce Metahuman like effects under the correct stimuli and power the cannon all in one. One effect being the cannon’s rounds becoming lightened temporarily to be accelerate at greater speeds, permitting projectile velocities that were previously unobtainable. A secondary setting causes the weapons ammo to be forcibly converted into magnetically contained plasma that will then be accelerated at the same speeds as its solid rounds, creating gruesome effects on organic and inorganic targets. It should be noted that due to the lack of any conventional heat reduction systems, This weapon has only ever been effectively used by Nora in tandem with her cryokinetic abilities mitigating and flat out nullifying the astronomical heat the weapon produces even after a single shot. - [i]Equal Brute Contestant frame MK.9[/i]: This armored and electronically hardened Linear Frame is a compact version of a military grade exoskeleton. A metal framework with synthetic muscles, powered servos and micro hydraulics; where one sits in the exoskeleton and steers while it does the work. The linear frame resembles a suit of contoured metal body armor. While its systems are directly neuro-linked to the users biological systems through a neural interface port commonly found at the base of the neck. Linear frames are designed to take over a percentage of the load, while leaving the operator enough "work" to allow them to gauge how much they're lifting and maintain control of the weight. Nora’s model is graded to put her on par with a muscle brute rating of 5 when worn, and equally increase her movement speed to outrun any un-powered or augmented individual. - [i]The Cross Counter Gauntlets[/i]: Made from tinker produced metals are actually counterbalanced mass impact weapons with fold out knuckle dusters. They use similar principles to pile bunkers utilizing its weights on electromagnetic slide rails to increase striking speed and power. However Nora has discovered how to use the recoil of each gauntlet to rapidly shift her weight and inertia for dynamic movements and CQC maneuvers.[/hider] [hider=Background Bio][b][color=#7FFFD4]✖|| Background ||✖[/color][/b] █ ████ █ ████ ██ ████████ ████ ██ █████████ █ ████ ██ █████████ ████ ██ ██████████████ ████ ██ ███████ ████ ██ ████████████ ██ ████ ████ ██ ████████████ ████ ██ ███████ ████ ██ █████████ ████ ██ ███████ █ ████ ██ ████████ ████ █ ████ ██ ████████ ████ ██ █████████ █ ████ ██ █████████ ████ ██ ██████████████ ████ ██ ███████ ████ ██ ████████████ ██ ████ ████ ██ ████████████ ████ ██ ███████ ████ ██ █████████ ████ ██ ███████ █ ████ ██ ████████ ████ █ ████ ██ ████████ ████ ██ █████████ █ ████ ██ █████████ ████ ██ ██████████████ ████ ██ ███████ ████ ██ ████████████ ██ ████ ████ ██ ████████████ ████ ██ ███████ ████ ██ █████████ ████ ██ ███████ █ ████ ██ ███████ - _ _ _ _ _ D̷̨̨̤̤̆͂̄͑̽̆͗a̵̧̺̰͖̺̩̩͔̙͍͈͎͎̪͔͚̹͑͋̓̈̀̓̊̐̂T̴̢̙̣̘̭̫͎̖̝͍̩̮̅̇͑̈̃̔̇̽̃̂̈́̈͌́͌̿͜͝Ả̵̞ ̴̡̧̧̡̦̹̤̝͔̯͈̭̳̙͇̔ͅÇ̸̛͇̯͚͊̋̃͗̏̉̇õ̵̘͚͖̹R̷͇̮̰͖̙̜̠͓̮̺̳̩̭̈́͗͑͌̕ȓ̷̨̢̙͍̙̤̩̮͓̽̊͠ͅu̵͇̹̬͎͇̮͍̙̫͔̱̠̦̺͐̇͛̑͋͆̇̾̈́͆͛͋̕p̷̗̭̊̄̏̄̌͊̕͠t̸̠̠̠̯̭̍̎̏̚é̵̢̛̯͕͕͉̦̜͕͔̑͒̽͌̾́̀͛d̸̡͔̿͗̐́́̓̊͆̓̓͐͘ [/hider] [hider=Powers and Abilities][b][color=#7FFFD4]✖ Powers ✖:[/color] [/b] [b]|| Cryokinesis ||[/b] [u][i]Shaker - 5 / Blaster - 5 [/i][/u] { Subclass(s): Thermal-Shaker / Versatile Blaster} [i][u]Power Description[/u][/i]: Nora can create, shape, move, control, and manipulate ice, snow, and frost. Through ice she is able to both create tools and weapons for attack and manipulate the environment for their advantage (freezing the ground, sudden ice-walls, etc.). Nora has shown that her level of cryokinesis isn’t reliant on pre-existing moisture to form ice fractals and structures. Her primary form of powered attack involves creating and launching ice constructs at high speed that she could control the path of and expand explosively on impact. Others involve forming large constructs mid air and dropping them on enemies and structures. [i] Weakness/drawbacks:[/i] [list] [*] Ice generation is slower and more difficult the less moisture is in the air and the hotter the environment. [*] Sufficient heat can counter and negate her ice. [*] she is not immune to cold and requires insulation and heat to keep herself from freezing. [*] large ice constructs can not be held suspended in midair for extended periods of time without causing mental stress or even exhaustion. This prevents her from achieving cryokinetic flight. [*] Strong ice fractals take more time to construct on the fly, making her ice at its weakest while it’s in the process of forming. [*]While she can control ice she has already generated or that is currently present in the environment, it is considerably slower than anything she initially forms for “blaster” purposes, moving as if controlled by low or mid tier kinetic abilities.[/list] [b]|| Molecular Inhibition ||[/b] [u][i] Striker - 8 [/i][/u] { Subclass(s): Touch based Atom/molecule Manipulation} [i][u]Power Description[/u][/i]: Through touch, Nora can completely halt the movements of molecules, which will cause them to crystallize and encapsulate any being or object in ice through cold snap freezing. Nora can take this further by reducing the thermodynamic temperature of whatever they touch to absolute zero (-459.67°F or -273.15°C), a physically impossible-to-reach state by normal means. Heat is generated via atomic motions, and even at extremely low temperatures, they continue to transfer energy; only when atoms completely stop moving is "absolute zero" achieved. While lowering the temperature by slowing molecular and atomic motion is the basics of freezing, to completely stop it is to completely bypass the Laws of Thermodynamics. Nora has recently discovered that she is able to induce Cryostasis through touch. Freezing cells, whole tissues, or any other substances susceptible to damage caused by chemical reactivity or time by cooling to sub-zero temperatures to preserve them. This is because at low enough temperatures, any enzymatic or chemical activity which might cause damage to the material in question is effectively stopped. [i] Weakness/drawbacks:[/i] [list] [*] Is limited to anything Nora touches physically, anything in contact with the initial touch. Molecular freezing and halting takes longer the further an object is from Nora’s initial point of contact. [*] Powers related to molecular and atomic acceleration can counter and reverse the effects of Nora’s touch. [*]Excessive use without temperature moderation will lead to Nora gaining frostbite and extensive cellular death.[/list][hr][hr][b][u]Power Origins[/u][/b]: Genetic Deviant - natural born Metahuman.
