[b]Name:[/b] Valen Agzhen

[b]Setting(s):[/b] Modern Fantasy with higher levels of power

[b]Gender:[/b] ♂

[b]Age:[/b] 38

[b]Appearance:[/b] Despite his age, his ability keeps him looking young, having slowed his apparent aging gradually but exponentially. Has dark hair, brown eyes, and a fairly plain wardrobe consisting almost entirely of dull colors. He's also rather tall.

[b]Ability:[/b] Invulnerability; all parts of Valen’s body, while they remain attached to him, are immune to any and all external forms of damage, seemingly only destructible through natural biological processes. Blades fail to cut him, fire fails to burn him, and poisons fail to sicken him. Even suffocation and starvation will cause no atrophy or lasting harm. His own cognition seems to be all that is required to moderate the growth of his hair and nails.

[b]Weaknesses/Limitations:[/b] In spite of the apparent lack of actual damage, attacks that would normally harm him still cause him pain, albeit only temporarily since there is no lasting wound. The type and severity of the pain mimics the wound he would have received, as if the wound was actually inflicted, despite evidence to the contrary. Likewise, his skin possesses no special "hardness", and fragile weaponry such as thin blades will generally not shatter from a strike, simply stopping as it reaches him as if ignoring Newton's 3rd law. He remains completely unaffected by poisons and illnesses, but retains any kinetic forces imposed on him. (If you hit him really hard, he will fly very far) In addition, he will lose consciousness if deprived of oxygen or sustenance for too long, but will self-resuscitate when exposed to oxygen or when nutrients/water are forced down his throat, respectively.

[b]Combat Equipment:[/b] Defaults to wielding a pair of Pistols and carrying around a few grenades. Strongly prefers gunpowder weapons because his best friend is a technomancer "obsessed" with making everything fire lasers.

[b]Personality:[/b] Generally mild-mannered, Valen is calm and approachable. His methodical nature makes him highly reliable, though it also makes him easy to mess with. While chiefly motivated by self-interest, it's not for lack of conscience, and he prefers to do the right thing when his job isn't on the line.

[b]History:[/b] Originally intending to join the military, Valen was invited to and subsequently hired by an evil organization through the power of nepotism. From there he went on to serve as a generic mook, apprehending "rogue" supers until his own powers were awakened. It was initially valued highly, and he was assigned to more demanding targets. This backfired as he failed time and again to meet the lofty expectations his ability commanded. Being functionally unkillable didn’t matter when most abilities trump guns in a head-on fight and several of his targets could literally throw him over the horizon. In the end, he was delegated to internal affairs where he could be put to use doing any dangerous job the organization needed done: Personal trainer who couldn't be hurt by their trainee, warden who couldn't be hurt by prisoners and R&D's test dummy who couldn't die no matter how unstable the weapon. Over the years, Valen came to occupy a position as right-hand man to Aaron, head of the R&D department and the friend who got him the job in the first place. Eventually Aaron informed him that he intended to betray the organization, which included blowing their entire workplace to kingdom come and escaping with all the captured Supers, seeking asylum through a contact of his. As far as Valen could tell, the heel-face turn was as a result of Aaron finishing one of his ridiculous experiments and not needing the organization's resources any longer. Seeing as how Valen's job tended towards unpleasant and how he was financially well-off after working for them for years, he went along with it, and for doing so, attained amnesty as part of Aaron's conniving negotiations.
