@Afro Samurai
If that's what you're going for, wouldn't it make sense to make the trigger than he hulks out when his 'heroism' thing is triggered? Else he's going to turn back every time he gets into a fight, and spend his time as a giant monster watching cartoons on a slow afternoon.

@thewizardguy

The latter half of your statement is my intent. As a 'mutate's' transformation is triggered (or tends to be triggered) by a certain short-sighted flare of emotion (anger, jealousy, etc) and in rare cases a persistent mood (Doc Samson), his is simply something abnormal and not quite useful--as, in his subconscious, he does not feel useful at all as someone whose greatest achievement in life is working at a Chinese restaurant. Initially, he isn't going to be doing much fighting because of the strange trigger; that is, until he gets bored of villains attacking the city all the time and decides to do something about it.

Just as one's psychology changes as he goes through things in life, so will Terell's trigger. Coping with this 'curse' as the OOC mentions is precisely what Terell is doing, just in an especially odd manner. Plus, he isn't enraged when he does change, he's just incredibly bored. Also, it isn't that the moment he is bored he is going to change, it has to be over an extended period of time. It may also happen when he is depressed, and if him reverting to human form while in the midst of a fight is a problem then it may also trigger if the villain (or whomever he is fighting) taunts him, makes fun of him, etc. His transformation is triggered by more than vain boredom.

EDIT: There are people who are genuinely un-entertained by fights or other things normally thought of as 'exciting' if they've seen enough of them. One builds a resolve, and in some cases apathy toward such things--which, as paradox, can also cause one to act and try to prevent said thing while still having no true investment in what is happening. One simply intervenes because he is tired of seeing it.

@Regitnui My plan was to make boredom the initial trigger, and then have the trigger change over the course of the RP once Terell finally realizes that why he changes has more to do with his desire to be a hero than just boredom. He will, in effect, get over his feelings of being perpetually average.

Also, a worse trigger would be hulking out when hungry. Hangry Hulk is certainly less pleasurable than bored Hulk.

Terell Price

Name: Terell Price

Epic Identity: None.

Age: 21

Faction: Epic

Ability: Mutated Monster Transformation: When afraid, Terell transforms into a mutated monster similar to that of the Hulk. When he transforms, he gains immense strength, durability, and a good healing factor. The more afraid he is, the stronger he becomes.

Weakness: Any environment where he can be at peace and is not inclined to fear. Rainbows.

Personality: Average. There is nothing spectacular about Mr. Price; he persists in the world and does what he can to get by on the money he makes at his job as a Chinese food delivery driver. He was raised by both parents who also lived fantastically normal lives and he followed in their footsteps. He can be easily excited. His desire in life is to make friends and cease the perpetuate boredom from which he suffers.

Appearance: Usually he wears a white t-shirt and some cargo shorts with knee-high socks and sandals.

Background: He hails from a family whose averageness is incredible. Astonishing, even. He hardly got into fights as a kid, though in school he did excel where he managed mostly A's and and B's. He went to college, but grew tired of it quite quickly and soon dropped out. Subsequently, his parents kicked him out--as they would not accept such a failure--andhe got a job working for Mr. Lin's Wok, his favorite Chinese restaurant. He has been working there for three years. He sleeps in the company car that he uses to make deliveries, and is saving money to buy a laptop.

@Regitnui We were both in that Resistance RP ran by Timemaster some months ago.

Yeah.

The Shattered World

@Lyla I was still in the process of editing as you posted this (currently re-writing and adding things to his backstory as I write this as well). Glad you added them to the lore so I have a little more to work with and can properly edit him to fit your setting. When I'm finished fleshing out his backstory, I'll make a point to tone him down more. Magical weaponry does harm him, though I suppose I should add more of a description than 'they cause him noticeable pain.' Noted.

Hellfire was a thing I was not sure existed in this realm or not, just something I threw in to see if it would fit. Hellfire is the mystical fire of 'hell' in the underworld (and it seemed like there were some darker spirits present here, so I thought there may be something similar). Hellfire isn't something that exists in all mythologies though, so I'll remove it.

Since I want him to be more of a hunter/tracker/ranger type, I'll trade his strength for speed. The whole 'half-vampire' idea is that of a Dhampir, a person who has parentage of both human and vampire descent, but I was trying to work it a different way and took some creative license since at the time, there wasn't anything in the lore delineating it wasn't acceptable. I wasn't trying to follow the Balkan lore; like I said on Discord, I drew inspiration from Blade and he was a human who was 'turned' but maintained human qualities while gaining the abilities of the vamp'. Given the limitations you've added, I can now properly incorporate him into the RP. Thanks.

@FiroIV Sounds good to me.
