Basic Information
Name:
Salvador Felipe Diaz 'Sal'
Age:
23
Gender:
Male
Appearance:
Standing at 6 feet Salvador is oddly quite a bit taller than his younger sister, Max. While part of this could be put down to the fact he is male it is quite a bit of height different. Sal is certainly not skinny for his height, but instead filled out with clearly defined muscles. While certainly not a fitness nut he make sure to keep himself in good shape and has worked on his strength to help with fighting. His height manages to spread out the muscles meaning that he doesn't look overly muscular and strong. His body is quite attractive to those that get a chance to look at it.
Sal's hair is a dark brown, coming close to black. It's darker than his sister's but not by much. It is quite short, not short enough that it has been completely shaved off but not long enough to be any kind of bother. His eyes are narrow and ever so slightly turned, practically black in colour. His skin is a relatively dark tone of olive tan. This is darker than his sister's. His face is sharp and angular but not all that bad looking due to it. It is slightly square in shape, all sharp angles and lines.
Clothing wise Sal will often wear what is practical. In terms of practicality he will be found wearing a simple t-shirt along with cargo pants and some kind of leather jacket. If he is going more for looks he'll be found wearing jeans and the same leather jacket. In a way his clothing style is quite similar to that of his twin. One occasions where it is require he will wear something smarter but quite often he sticks to what is practical for what he does.

Skills/Talents:
Fighting: Salvador is trained in hand to hand combat. Most of this he learned from being in gangs and as a result knows how to fight dirty, and with knives.
Shooting:Sal's main skill in shooting is with pistols or similar at a more close range. He learned this from the gangs and is quite accurate. He also knows how to care for guns, and can use more long ranged ones such as a rifle but just isn't quite as good at that.
Cooking: Sal is a surprisingly talented cook. He can make a tasty meal out of pretty terrible ingredients and knows quite a few recipes off the top of his head. While he is no classy chef he can cook tasty enough meals in comparison to your average person.
Leadership: With a commanding air and the ability to keep cool under pressure, Sal is quite a skilled leader. He knows how to bring the best out of people and command them in a tough situation. He can keep them under control without getting incredibly angry at those who are insolent. However, with this leadership skill comes a certain amount of cockiness.
Strategy: Sal is quite good at coming up with strategies, whether that is for combat or for breaking into somewhere well protected. He can plan well and will come up with various backup plans quickly. This can help in tough situations.

Brief Backstory:
Born to a metahuman and a normal human, Sal grew up in a surprisingly cheerful household. From a young age it was obvious that he had inherited his powers from his father as small cuts healed faster than they should and never seemed to bother him.
At four Sal got a younger sister, Max. He was overprotective at first and this grew into a friendly sibling rivalry. They spent most of their time play fighting (of course he always won). Though they were in contact with their cousins on their mum's side Salvador was never close to any. As a metahuman he felt he should avoid being around a family that was anti-metahuman.
Sal was fourteen when he accidentally caused his family to have to up and move. It was an accident, of course. He had been playing with his cousins, one of the few times he did so, and a slight slip from a tree caused a broken leg. Unfortunately for him he had no control over his regeneration and was able to walk long before most humans would. With his cousin's being more than somewhat anti-meta the family made the decision to move to Blackfall just in case.
Their time in Blackfall wasn't much different for Sal, until when he was sixteen and got involved in a car accident. His regeneration save him and his sister luckily survived. It didn't take him too long to have suspicions about the reason for his sister's survival though he kept it to himself longer than he should of. The two were sent off to live with their uncle, who had never wanted kids and let them look after themselves.
Sal was the first of the two to get involved in crime. He let Max tag along as she proved herself useful enough and he couldn't get her to stay at home even if he tried. He joined a minor gang and it was here the Max discovered for herself what her power was. Sal easily fit into the gang and quickly moved up the ranks with ease. His natural leadership skills helped him here. He managed to stay out of NESTs radar by mostly running things behind the scenes are rarely going into do the proper dirty work after he reached a certain rank.
At nineteen, now having left his uncle and living with just his sister, Sal reluctantly allowed their cousin Rori to live with them. It wasn't a surprise for him that they were a metahuman (they had always seemed odd). He tried to get them to join in gang activities, after all their powers would be useful. However Max resisted this and tried to stop Sal from allowing it. Sal won in the end, though, as he always did.
Recently, however, a close call with NEST agents have made both Salvador and Max known to NEST as possible criminal metahumans. Deciding not to risk getting caught the two of them, and Rori, have made the move to New Riviére city. Sal managed to get them a small apartment in the outer ring. Since moving they've got by with running small jobs but Sal is trying to find something more, whether legal or illegal.

Power Information
Power Class: Super-System (Biological)
Power:
Sal's power is that of regeneration.
External Wounds and Blood loss:
Lost Limbs:
Internal Wounds / Damage to Organs
Diseases, Toxins, Drugs
External Wounds and Blood loss:
Sal can heal serious external wounds at a speed that is faster than the normal person. He can heal deep cuts (that haven't reached any organs), serious burns and broken / fractured bones. The time it takes varies by severity. Minor wounds take a matter of minutes to heal, whereas a wound that would perhaps be fatal could take days. Due to his regeneration, however, there are wounds he can survive that many others could not. He also regenerates blood cells meaning that blood loss is less of a worry for him. For example most people would need a blood transfusion if they lost roughly 30% or more of the total blood volume in their body. For Salvador this percentage would be closer to 40% or so. Any torn muscle, ect, can also be regenerated.
Lost Limbs:
Salvador can, to a certain extent, regenerate lost limbs. The limb is grown to be almost exactly the same as the old one. In terms of re-growing limbs this goes for arms and legs (and any parts upon them). This does NOT include his head. Time wise this, again, depends on what needs to be re-grown. A finger or toe would take half a day to a day. His entire arm would take at least one week, probably more. His entire leg would take even longer.
Internal Wounds / Damage to Organs
Sal cannot regenerate / repair internal wounds and damage to organs as well as external wounds. If the damage is non-fatal then he would be able to regenerate it but at a slower rate than he would an external wound. If the damage is minor than it can easily be regenerate. However if, say, he was stabbed through the heart he would not be able to regenerate it. In terms of his brain he can survive / regenerate more serious damage than most, but it is the part of his body that he has most difficulty regenerating.
Diseases, Toxins, Drugs
Sal is less susceptible to illness that most others. This is due to his regeneration resulting in a strong immune system and just regenerating while ill means he rarely catches diseases. He would never come down with, say, a cold or the flu. Something more serious is possible. He is also less harmed by poison and tends to be unaffected by less strong toxins (though there are still some that he cannot recover from). The same goes for drugs.
Limits:
Salvador is limited in terms of the speed he can regenerate at. The more serious the wound the longer it takes, from a few seconds to heal a cut to hours / days for broken bones to weeks / months to regenerate a lost limb.
Along with this he is limited in how much he can regenerate. He can heal multiple small wounds at the same time but can only heal one serious one at a time (serious being anything that could be dangerous in the long run). If he loses more than one limb he can only regenerate one at a time.
There are things he cannot regenerate. If a serious enough wound damages his internal organs and would be fatal he will likely die from it, as he won't heal the internal rupturing fast enough. He can't heal that much brain damage. If his brain is damaged enough he may be able to heal it to the point of still being alive, but the damage would be irreversible and he wouldn't be the same person. His head is in general the weak spot and if it was, say, cut off he wouldn't survive it.

Weaknesses/Drawbacks:
Salvador still feels all the pain of the wounds, and this has the effect a wound would on any. He may be able to regenerate but his pain threshold / tolerance is no higher than any other person.
When in the process of regenerating, especially if it is something serious, Sal is physically weakened. He will be able to function but is likely to struggle with even walking until he has finished the regeneration process. This puts him in a weak position. Of course this varies by wound. A cut will not cause this, but a broken bone may (even in the arm). This can be quite easily taken advantage of.
Sal is not invulnerable. He will die to serious head injuries or if he loses his head. He will die to major organ damage. He will also die to multiple fatal wounds, as he can only heal so many at once and one of them will kill him. If he would be instantly killed by something the chances are he will die (he does need some time to regenerate). So there are quite a few ways to kill him, just less than there are to kill the ordinary person.

Dynamics:
Maxine Diaz | Mixed | Sister | "Maxine and I get on, but she needs to keep her anger under control and stop arguing with me so much." |
Rori Aherne | Neutral | Cousin | "I can tell that Rori avoids me. They're weird, but Max wants to help them so I let them be. I really wish they'd be more useful though... |
Rori Aherne | Neutral | Cousin | "I can tell that Rori avoids me. They're weird, but Max wants to help them so I let them be. I really wish they'd be more useful though... |
Other
- Sal used to have anger issues as a kid, like his younger sister, but has it under control now. Sometimes, though, he has less control that he'd like
- Sal is still over protective of his sister, if a bit domineering, and would probably sacrifice himself for her
- With above said Sal is cold to other people and isn't the friendliest person to people he doesn't know
I'm pretty sure I need more power weaknesses though. I ran out of inspiration there so any ideas throw them my way.
