General Attire: When not dressed in his sparring attire, a rather iconic set that many appreciate, fear or at the very least recognize, Maulusk keeps a fairly consistent pattern of dress. He always sports either a light blue, or white button down shirt, some manner of long tie, a simplistic brown or black belt, black or tanned suit pants, and a solid color zip up cardigan. Of course all of his attire is personally fitted if only due to the troubles of being an cephalopod styled creature.

Backstory:
In the year 1926 an individual was born, unverified as the records had long since been destroyed or lost, in a small village in Norway. This youth was a thug among thugs, actively mugging and beating those he could find. The reason for his dissent was due to an artistic desire which he felt could not be met in his pitiful home in Norway. Eventually his wish for change would come as a teenager due to the Invasion of Norway and the establishment of the Reich Commissariat of Norway. He did not mind these invaders taking away the sovereignty of his people, as he had never truly felt attached to his village. So when he had attracted the attention of a revolutionary biologist in the Reich known as Dr. Luther, the individual willingly offered himself up as a specimen for his research.

What was this revolutionary research? It was the genetic manipulation of an individual utilizing the DNA of famous killers, lunatics, or any other mad man that happened to leave behind parts that could be extracted for the genetic material, and beasts. Dr Luther referred to this process in his notes as quote, “...a forceful slam of new genetic material into the host specimen resulting in a human hybrid of humanity’s most depraved instincts with the natural killer qualities of the animal world.” end quote. Dr Luther had many, many failures in this process. He had tried many patients, willing and non, and ended up with creatures that died from the agonizing process.

But this unimportant embittered son of Norway was special. He had survived the injection, a serum containing Emperor Nero and Caligula’s DNA from lost teeth and from the Architeuthis dux aka the Atlantic Giant Squid. Marveling at his work Dr Luther had asked his specimen what he wished to be called. It was here that the Maulusk was truly born.

Through the war the Maulusk was utilized against the Allied Forces in Italy, Japan, Africa, and where ever else the Axis Powers could use this abomination of nature against. Unfortunately the Maulusk could not prevent the Allied Victory, as they too had cool things to use, and found himself depressed thinking that he would have no other purpose now. Of course he was expecting the USSR to turn on the Allies, those ‘Damn Commie Apes’, but was not expecting Operation Paperclip to be conducted. So the Maulusk was taken into America in order to be used for them, as well as uncover Dr Luther’s genetic modification skills. Throughout the Cold War the Maulusk was dropped into various locales throughout Eastern Europe, parts of Africa, and the South Americas in order to conduct espionage, assassinations and further wars going down.

Then too did the Cold War end causing the Maulusk to come to think of what he was meant for yet again. This time, after all the wars, the fighting, the bloodshed he knew what he was meant to do. He knew that he had been neglecting his artistic endeavors for too long and had decided to set about traveling the world and enjoying a well earned retirement.

Of course that does not mean that he won’t spar like any other young whippersnapper. Violence too is a form of art.

Abilities:
Genetic Freak – The transformation from man to an abomination with the finest DNA of psychopaths and Squid have produced a creature with many talents such as

• Camouflaging Colors: Much like the octopi of the sea, Maulusk can change his skin color, opaquity and reflectiveness. This includes also altering of his texture such as having rougher skin if disguising as a rock. These disguises are usually to blend into the environment but sometimes used to disguise himself as another individual, with the same sort of body weight and structure.
• Ink Projectile: Maulusk can shoot ink out of his mouth at low and high pressures to either try to pierce with ink or to create a smoggy get away.
• Tentacles: The most noticeable feature of the Maulusk are his tentacles. His tentacles are super strong limbs with a quite high constricting and crushing strength. Of note is the fact that his tentacles, if one were to get in an uncomfortable range of them, are lined with teeth to increase the constricting nature of them. They can survive for a brief period of time, and be controlled by him, if chopped off. His tentacles regenerate if removed but the process is generally painful and a dash time consuming.
• Aquatic Being: As a mutant of the sea, the Maulusk can survive and thrives in aquatic conditions. He is quicker in the ocean than he is on land and can survive intense deep water pressures as well as other pressure shifts.

Equipment:
Kakejiku: The Kakejiku is a scroll which is intended to be use as decoration. This one is ludicrously sized both in height and weight. While the Maulusk primarily uses it to write and draw on for artistic purposes, it is hefty and surprisingly durable making it an effective club.
Katana and Sheath: This is nothing more and nothing less than a crummy made souvenir bought in exchange for being able to take pictures in the area. The sword itself is rather brittle due to its construction and not wanting to damage his souvenir it is primarily kept in its sleek wooden sheath.
Radom wz.35 Vis: A 9mm gun designed for use in war by the German Army, it is a rather worn out model which the Maulusk is reluctant to fire as he views it as personal keepsake of his past.
Boathooks and Harpoons: These are the primary weaponry, besides himself, that the Maulusk possesses. They are ordinary whale harpoons, some straight while some are barbed, and sets of hooks designed for docking and undocking. The hooks have a blunt end for pushing off dock on one end and the hook on the other.


Other:
Speaks fluent Norwegian, Finnish, Danish, German, Italian and Japanese.
Currently has a retirement house in Boca Raton, Florida.
Has produced a lot of kids who in turn given him many grand and great grandkids. Around the Fourth of July, or any other convenient time, they all get together for a family celebration.
He currently has a profile on an older person dating website under John Smith.
One would be hard pressed to find him vacationing without at least six cameras and a bowl full of hard butterscotch or caramel candies.
