Name: Abraham "Abe" Hampton
Age: 22 years old
Race: Modern Promethean
Powers and abilities: Abe is an artificially animated human (a la Frankenstein's monster). He stands at 7'6", and is very physically impressive. He is able to perform massive feats of strength, and can produce electricity from the diodes in his body.
Appearance:
Personality: Abe's appearance can be unsettling at time, but beneath his rotten exterior lies a heart of gold (not literally, his heart has copper, its a far better conductor). He genuinely cares for others. He feels like because he was given a second chance at life he should live it to the fullest.
Biography: Abe can remember the accident like it was yesterday. He was driving home from an evening with his girlfriend, windows down to let in the cool air of an early summer's evening. The radio was blasting and he felt truly happy, he never saw the semi coming. The driver of the truck was pulling a double shift in an attempt to get enough money to buy his wife a nice diamond necklace she had been looking at. The driver fell asleep and crossed into the other lane, smashing into the front of Abe's small car. Abe doesn't blame the man for anything, he was trying to surprise his wife. Either way Abe was killed instantly.
The next thing he knew he was waking up in what appeared to be a doctor's office. Abe was confused, last thing he remembered was getting hit by the semi. There was no way in hell he should have walked away from that. Suddenly a man entered the room, beaming and clapping. "Yes yes yes! How do you feel? Are you woozy? Do you remember anything?" Abe raised his hand to silence the man, too many questions at once, but what he raised wasn't his hand. A large robotic hand was attached at the end of Abe's arm! Now that he noticed....it wasn't even his arm! It had tattoos, and was far larger then his. "What did you do to me!?!" Abe shouted at the man in a voice that wasn't quite his own. "Its quite simple," the man said, "You died yesterday in a car accident, quite the tragedy, however the freshness of your corpse and your age made you the perfect candidate. I placed your brain in a body of my creation. You are more than human!" Abe couldn't believe what he was hearing. He looked down at his body. Grey skin, in some places not fully covering the wires that ran underneath. And he was massive, he was sitting on a standard patient's bed, one you would see in any doctor's office. His feet were flat on the floor and then some. All of this was too much, he was a corpse, a freak, he had had turned Abe into something else. "No. No. NO! YOU MADE ME INTO A MONSTER!" Abe stood up and pointed his hand out towards, suddenly a bolt of electricity arced out from the diodes in back and shot down his arm and out his fingertips. The man crumbled and fell to the floor. Abe ran out of the room, and kept running. Eventually he found his way out of the building and hit the road. He has been hopping town to town ever since. He wears bandages over his arms to hide his robotics, and usually wears a long coat and wide brimmed hat to cover everything else. Luckily the diodes only spark when he tries to generate electricity.
Likes: Metal Music, Summertime, Oranges, A really good book, Puppies, honest people, People who can see through his harsh exterior.
Dislikes: Pollen Season, Grapefruit, Cats, Dishonest people, people who "judge a book by its cover"

DON'T DIE ON ME DAMMIT! DON'T YOU DIE ON ME!
DON'T DIE ON ME DAMMIT! DON'T YOU DIE ON ME!
Tollank woke with a start, sweat running down his face. He hadn't been asleep for more than half an hour, but a night terror woke him up. Usually they give me a bit more sleep than that. He thought to himself, rising from bed to walk over to the desk. Tollank didn't sleep with his arm on, he learned the hard way what happens if you combine tossing and turning with an arm made out a rather hard material. The arm was heavy in his hand, he hadn't realized that it was so stout. It doesn't seem so bad when its attached to your shoulder. A small hiss echoed through the room as he connect the arm in its socket, he still hadn't gotten used to the feeling of it reconnecting to his nerves and doubted he ever would. Testing the fingers he sent a few brainwaves down the length of the arm, without the extra nudge with his mutation the fingers would barely even bend. Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted by a growl. He had forgotten to eat in the excitement of moving in. He quickly went into the bathroom and washed up, changed, and headed out the door.
A few people were standing outside, but the majority had turned in for the night. Tollank recalled passing a small restaurant on his way into the dormitories, so he would start there. Tollank walked down the path towards his destination, but noticed something. The air was crisp and fresh, it actually smelled as if he were outdoors. If he didn't think about it he could almost forget he was actually on the lower level of a ship, almost. Honestly it didn't bother Tollank too much, these aliens really did seem to have good intentions, and they sure as hell treated everyone better than the average people back home. After walking a but further he arrived that the small shop, a clap directed at the sign revealed the name to be Hjem.
He entered the building, and was immediately greeting by a plethora of wonderful aromas. Four people were seated at the bar, and Tollank recognized two of them. "Leon! Aeria! I see I wasn't the only person whose stomach woke them!" He walked to the bar and took a seat to Leon's left, between him and the other patrons. Tollank looked at the waiter, "I will have what they are having!" Bringing his attention back to his two friends he smiled, "How did you guys like the dorms? Have any trouble finding one?"

Should somebody post a link to the IC on the interest check? On the off chance someone only subscribed to the Interest Check and can't find this?
I posted! Sorry about that gap. Poop hit fans and I had clean up duty (not literally and haha, I said duty).
WinterNightSky said "Yeah, I heard him. Or her." She added the last part awkwardly. "Same here, I think i'm gonna take a short nap and a shower." She said as she looked at the path that the alien told them to follow. "I wonder if they have food.." She said silently to herself.
Tollank looked at the girl and chuckled, "Oh they better have food! Or else is going to get a piece of my mind!" At the thought of food Tollank's stomach let out a low grumble. He didn't realize exactly how hungry he was. Furthermore he could begin to feel squeaks coming from his bionic arm, no one could hear them yet but Tollank could feel them. Tollank's arm was a marvel of modern technology, and looked just as sleek as the day the doctors put it on. Tollank took great care in up keeping his arm, he was able to detach it at the shoulder and would wipe it down and oil every night. He found it comforting, almost zen.
Marx said "Boys n' girls of Ellexker," Leon yelled, "We're all gonna jet. If you don't wanna get lost, follow us!" He turned on his heel with his final step, facing the three of them, a small grin on his face. "Let's get the hell outta here, eh?"
Tollank instantly recognized the voice of Leon. "Now that's an idea I can get behind! Lets go!" Tollank followed Aeria down the path toward their new home. The footsteps of the other children giving him small glances of streetlights that dotted the path they were taking. After a few minutes of walking they approached a building. Stepping inside Tollank immediately noticed something. "This place is freaking huge!" He almost shouted this to attempt to get a clear view of the spacious inside. After clapping his hands a few times for good measure he pretty much had a good idea of a layout. Tollank turned to Aeria "We can catch up tomorrow, not to sound like a baby but I am tired, hungry, and I need to oil my arm. See you later!"
Tollank headed down a walkway to a row of rooms. A couple had people in them but the majority were empty. Tollank assumed that people weren't done socializing, oh well, their loss. He headed into the first unclaimed room, closing the door behind him. The small click from the door revealed that the rooms were fairly nice, all things considered. A single room with a shower and enough space for living, a desk was tucked away in the corner. Tollank walked over to the desk, it was long enough to hold his arm, and that's all that mattered. He reached over and grabbed his prosthetic arm near the shoulder. With a small turn and a kiss the arm detached from his shoulder. With a metallic clank he placed it down on the desk. It needed oiling, but first he needed a shower. He stripped and stepped into the bathroom. After experimenting with the knobs he dialed the water to the perfect temperature and stepped in.
The sound of the water hitting the shower's floor echoed through the room, leaving no detail out. It was almost like it was raining. Tollank smiled to himself as he remembered the rainfall. He felt like standing in the rain was the closest he would ever get to true sight. That was until Leon offered him sight. "Leon..." Tollank said quietly to himself. No one had ever went out of their way to offer him help like that. That's when it all became clear. He knew the answer to Leon's offer. He stepped out of the shower and dried off. Changing into some shorts he sat at the desk and produced some oils and polishes from his bag. Tollank sat there in his room, oiling his arm. Tomorrow he would find Leon, and accept his offer.
Anybody home?
WinterNightSky said "Hope that didn't take too long." She gave Tollank a small smile and gave the boy a quick glance before looking behind her to see what Leon was up to.
"Nonono! Not too long or anything! I definitely wasn't daydreaming or anything like that, cause that would just be silly...." He let his voice trail off slightly. "I hope everything went well with Leon, he seems very trustworthy." Tollank stretched his arms, they had grown tired from having them crossed for so long. "Did you hear what Shigganeth said? I don't know about you but I could definitely use some good shut-eye. We should wait for Leon though." Tollank clapped his hands together, the sound echoing through the station. "We should hurry though, it looks like everybody is leaving."
