Name: Benjamin Stoker
Identity: Indestructi-Man
Origin: Metahuman
Appearance:
5’ 10” and relatively fit, Ben’s figure strikes someone as athletic but not necessarily intimidating. He possesses short, dark (almost to black) auburn brown hair and deep blue eyes. The poor guy’s hair has enough curl to turn into an afro if he let it grow out, but the man keeps it relatively short and trained back. Ben’s skin tone is a light tan, tending towards pale in his less exposed areas, with sprinkling of freckles on his forearms.
During the day he prefers casual business attire, such as tastefully colored dress shirts and pants, leather shoes. If you are lucky you might catch him in gym clothing at home or on his way to a workout. One thing to note is he tends to wear a watch that- when activated- will buzz lightly when someone near him is speaking. It is annoying in the city, but handy enough in buildings, at work, and at home.
Powers:
Endurance: Specifically in the field of blunt trauma, Ben finds himself pretty much unfazed by most blows and impacts, though he hasn’t quite figured out the upper limits of this power yet, due to a relative lack of suicidal intentions.
Talents:
-Lip Reading- Ben read lips well enough to get past most accents, and can keep up with two or even three people at once if he strains himself. Anything past that he kinda just smiles and nods along.
-Feigning Ignorance- Pretty useful when he notices things he shouldn’t. Ben could possibly go out for a mediocre acting job. Helps that people act as if he is more handicapped than he actually is.
-Book Worm- He reads, a lot. It started with fiction when he was younger and progressed to studies and factual texts as he grew older. This has given him plenty of practically impractical knowledge to use at his pleasure.
Contacts:
-Amanda Lawrence- A fellow employee and friend. She tends to be one of the few reasons he socializes, often attempting to set him up with blind dates and dragging him to events. She knows of his powers purely by accident- the kind involving a stairwell and a particularly slippery section of freshly mopped tile.
-Matthew Harlow- A past neighbor and current friend, Matthew knows pretty much everything going on in Ben’s life. They tend to hit the gym together regularly and crash at Matt’s apartment whenever Ben needs to keep his head down for a bit.
Background:
Benjamin was pretty much a regular guy until- when he was ten- a villain flew through the airplane he was taking with his parents at supersonic speed. This of course, killed…. No one. But the proximity of the passage and the sudden change in air pressure destroyed Ben’s ability to hear and stole a portion of his life away permanently. It was a cruel joke when around twelve, he discovered that he himself wasn’t entirely human either. The same kind of powers that had taken his ears were in him as well.
It took a few years for him to become truly competent with lip reading and within that time Ben learned basic sign language, though he prefers lip reading over the alternative. He works as an architect to a company that specializes in building secret bases, and is fairly content with leaving things as they are, so long as they don’t worsen.
