MOSHE BIN JEOCHIM | 16 | MALE

Ideology: Unaligned - He wants to first wait and see how things shall unfold without making a decision. He shall hold onto his allegiance for as long as it is possible and decide on it only if he is backed up against a wall or sees it resonate with his being, and this strongly depends on influence of people he trusts.

Nickname/Alias: Better

Occupation: Most of the time, nothing. When he really requires money, Better sells his tissues and fluids to research organizations or becomes subject to research himself for a compensation.

APPEARANCE

Height: 190

Length: 307(W/Tail)

Weight: 700

Hair Color: N/A

Eye Color: Amber

Ethnicity: N/A, previously Jewish.

Physical Appearance: A hexapodal monstrosity looking equal parts like a scorpion, lion, very angry kraken and a granite statue, Better is beastly in his countenance and visage. Six mighty paws ending in vicious retractable claws uphold a sizeable trunk bristling with spikes, quills, armour-plates and eyes and vestigial tentacles bursting through small chinks in the chitinous armour and rock-hard skin, rear end of it transitioning into a thick tail with a vicious stinger whilst the front seamlessly fuses into a neckless, heavily armoured head armed with a slightly protruding beak-like mouth full of hook-teeth and split tongues seeping acidic saliva. From the front of his body, just beneath the massive head, grow two long, spindly but powerful multi-jointed and vaguely human-like hands with six digits each and two opposed thumbs.

Preferred Attire: Nothing.

PERSONALITY

Outward personality: Better is calm, friendly and overall maybe at times a bit too condescending to others, seeing as he likes to flaunt his superiority a bit. He is competitive, energetic and also often starved for attention due to the nature of his powers and as such clings tightly and carefully to all acquaintances he makes in order not to lose touch with them or destroy his friendships. However upon deciding to resort to hostilities, his bestial side shows - he relishes in his own superiority and finds perverse pleasure in inflicting damage and suffering without any retaliation. This both extremely horrifies and exhilarates him - and he is conflicted on which emotion is stronger.

Innate Traits: Competitive, Enduring, Confidant, Slow To Decide On Important Matters, Reliable(Once Befriended), Sadistic(When Angered)

Fears/Weakness: Being introduced to his family once again would probably inflict great suffering on Better. He also quietly fears to one day find something that can truly kill him. Additionally, Better likes to believe the niceness of people, making him quite easy to manipulate through attention and displays of affection.

Hobbies/Interests: Reading, Modern Music, Amateur Biological Research And Experimentation, Cheesy Romantic Comedies, Hurting Himself In New Ways.

Talents: He posesses a nigh-intuitive understanding of biology, can balance a ball on his nose, and posesses a deep and undulating singing voice.

SUPERPOWER

Power: Adaptive Regeneration - Whatever doesn't kill Better, makes him harder, better, faster and stronger. He posesses an absolutely horrifying regenerative capabilities that knit even the most horrible wounds in matter of seconds at best and days at worst - but this is not the best thing about his ability. The true blessing, and at the same time curse is the fact, that his organism does not merely regenerate to the default form, but instead changes his body to be more resistant to the received damage in future, more able to avoid or overcome - basically, after regenerating from a bad enough wound multiple times, he eventually becomes nigh-immune to whatever made him regenerate in the first place. He can be affected by mind-warping powers of ESPers, but will grow more and more resistant to them as time goes. Burns give his hide rubber-like and heat-resistant qualities, bullets cause his body to develop redundant organs, his meat and bone to become denser and to be provided with protection in form of a biological sort of combat armour and improve his reflexes in order to notice the incoming fire and react in time. Exposure to blinding light and long nights eventually made his eyes see in the dark and quickly recover after being disabled - oh, and attacks from flanks and back make him grow eyes all over the body for that extremely useful 360-degree all-around awareness. After having to survive in the wilderness a long time his digestive system and metabolism changed to safely consume all organic matter, breaking it down to a swallowable state through extremely powerful acidic saliva - you get the general gist of it.

Ability Drawbacks: Drawback One: Better is HORRIBLY, GODAWFULLY, UNNATURALLY UGLY. He lost his human form a long, long time ago, and only gets more monstrous as the time passes. This puts most people off really quick and really hard. Better himself too, isn't always happy with himself.
Drawback Two: His gigantic form requires LOTS of sustenance. A district he inhabits quickly finds its population of stray and even domestic animals dwindling and their garbage dumps unnaturally clean of all organic waste. He could probably adapt to it if he starved himself to near-death, but Better doesn't want to check that one at all - hunger TORMENTS him.
Drawback Three: He sometimes gets... feral urges. Direct, harsh and evil mockery or disrespect might cause him to involuntarily frenzy and assert his dominance by spitting a glob of flesh-melting acid at the offender or such. His spine and large nerve clusters of the vegetative nervous system grew thick and powerful to compensate for the main brain in case it gets destroyed or damaged and as such at times he reacts faster than he can think - swiping his deadly tail at something that startles him by somehow sneaking up from behind, even if it is actually an ally.
More drawbacks will be added as I work them out.

BACKGROUND

History: Writing a big and well, properly written thing in a pad rn, here's a short version: he was a good nice little boy from a jewish-american family who once went out camping with his parents and friends. Guy went for a walk, got lost in the woods, stumbled on a bear and after running away from it for several hours got mauled by it horribly and for a very long time - the animal was rabid and unusually cruel, maybe affected by some metahuman influence or just plain vicious. As he was torn by the bear and living through the horrible pain that JUST DIDN'T STOP his grip on reality loosened and his latent metahuman power awakened. Then the pain continued for several another hour during which Moshe just COULD NOT DIE, but eventually the bear did took him for dead and left him in the middle of nowhere with one arm and leg missing, other two broken, face torn off and ribcage crushed. Then he somehow found in himself power to drag himself with his fractured arm, finding horrible pain to be energizing and sort of just... just crawled away to try and get out of the forest, all while noting with some strangely dull interest how his stumps and wounds blacken, crust over and grow into... something - like it wasn't happening to him and he just viewed that from the side.
Long story short, Mr. Jeochim never found his son - but the rangers spoke about sighting a horribly murdered bear and an even more horrible-looking animal of unknown species darting between the trees.
Moshe was kinda traumatized by the experience. A lot, really. He couldn't even THINK about what his parents would say or think if he returned to him the way he was now - but he thought long and hard about how they will probably stop loving him and will hate him instead. Tortured by these thoughts, he was hiding for a long, long while, ever-morphing and growing ever more troubled mentally. After some time and some self-analysis he sort of snapped a little bit and decided to embrace his condition instead of just sulking about how sad and miserable he is and hiding away from the world in forests. Thus, he was reborn as Better named for what he was and what he continuously became. He removed himself from solitude and attempted to enter the civilized world as a completely new person, and make something of the new life and new chances he is given. He now actively SEEKS harm and danger and pain because they improve him and attempts to enjoy all the benefits his new existence provides whilst trying to forget and push away all unwanted or sad thoughts and memories.

Other: Might find a theme song.

Valerie Ash | 22 | Female

Occupation: Thievery

APPEARANCE

Height: 5’5 ft.

Weight: 125 lbs.

Hair Colour: Ash brown.

Eye Color: Cool, dark hazel.

Ethnicity: Caucasian

Physical Appearance: Pale skin, sharp, tense eyes. Her symmetrical face is framed with a feathered pixie cut — short in the back, longer in the front — with bangs sweeping in from the side. Her thin fingers can often be found hovering at her mouth, cuts near the nail. Mainly void of marks, Valerie has a few freckles scattered across her face and arms. A small beauty mark can be seen at the side of her lips. In certain light, the crow’s feet at the edge of her eyes becomes more prominent.

Preferred Attire: On any given day, Valerie wears a dark graphic T-shirt under a leather jacket, black leggings and leather boots. It’s an easy wardrobe to put together, and she doesn’t have to iron a single thing. When the weather is hot, she opts for jean shorts and printed tank tops.

PERSONALITY

Outward personality: Deals with most situations in a cool, detached manner. She mainly keeps interactions at arm's-length. Smiles a lot about roguish ideas. Valerie typically doesn’t go out of her way for anyone and would prefer to be debt/favor-free. She does not, however, remain idle if someone is in danger. Valerie likes to think of herself as non-confrontational, but when shit hits the fan Valerie stands her ground fiercely.

Innate Traits:
-- Confident
-- Observant
-- Mischievous
-- Deceptive
-- Daring
-- Dreamer

Fears/Weakness: Fears pain and has no resistance to prolonged exposure to it. Also is very uncomfortable with being subject to medical attention. She can’t stand needles. Valerie fears anything that would inhibit her power. She dislikes heights and airplanes.

Being naturally lazy, Valerie tends to take shortcuts and doesn’t enjoy hard work. Having expectations to do something by someone is a situation she avoids with great care. She is aimless and has no concrete plans for her life, however, she does enjoy armchair philosophy. She has varying degrees of gullibility.

Hobbies/Interests:
-- Listening to music
-- Taking walks
-- Painting
-- Working out
-- Stalking the streets late at night
-- Pondering ideas
-- Practising abilities

Talents:
-- Thieving

SUPERPOWER

Power: Animation -- "The power to give crude life to inanimate objects. Not to be confused with Creation as the lives of animations are tied to the user and not their own." ~SuperpowerWiki

Valerie is able to create a mental link with objects, allowing her to give them energy and a program to follow. She requires a visual contact first prior to linking up. Inanimate objects can be imbued with a variety of programs to follow, but are limited in how much they can move. Cloth is a bendable, fluidic material and can be animated with ease. A thick, wooden wall is difficult to animate. The best Valerie can do is shatter pieces of it with effort.

She can animate several small objects at a time. Rocks can be animated to throw themselves in any direction, but cannot hover on the spot. Their trajectory can change, but if they stop their momentum, they fall. Valerie can puppet them to ‘jump’ back up, but no animation can defy the laws of gravity.

Valerie can open any lock with ease, provided she can see it. TVs turn on and window panes move to the side without her physically doing so. A plastic Barbie doll can walk all natural-like on a table (which is surreal to watch). Valerie can make the flame of a candle grow and have it shoot off in a direction until it eventually sputters out (as anything attached to its source would). Valerie can hit a bullseye with a dart every single time with Animation.

Ability Drawbacks:

Anything organic or with a form of awareness, like humans, animals and plants, cannot be animated. Large objects, or rigid materials like steel, require lots of energy to puppet. Like trying to lift a 250 lbs weight, sometimes the animation is too difficult to follow through.

BACKGROUND

History: Valerie grew up in a broken family. Her superpower manifested in her teens, adding tension to her social circles. It was terrible; she moved away at the age of 17. On her own in Chicago, she took a part-time job while she finished school. There were demands on her from friends, teachers and her boss. She felt she had to comply in order to fit in (being the only ‘metahuman’ around *sneer*), and never said no. Valerie hardly had a moment to herself before someone expected something of her. Months passed by, and eventually she shut down. She quit her job, shut out her friends, and did extra schooling on the side so she could graduate early.

This was around the time she figured out how easy it was to steal what she needed with Animation. At first it was dinner, snacks for the week, maybe a new toothbrush. But soon she found herself taking clothes, carts of food and luxury items. She would never need a J-O-B ever again with this new form of ‘income’, and she happily furnished her apartment with the spoils of her labour.

To not go stir-crazy, Valerie got into the habit of touring Chicago at the break of day, and late into the night. Her confidence of the streets grew, and any unwanted attention gained was thrown back in the alley-dwellers’ faces. There were a couple times she ran into the law while pocketing fine wares after closing hours, leaving community hours and fines on her record.

Currently, Valerie takes life day by day.

Other: Always has a bag of gadgets on her that are easy to animate. Lives in a spacious apartment in Near South Side. She takes great pleasure in her thievery game. However, this has made the cops moderately familiar with her.
