Not at all, just making my healer character. Cause injuries ain't funny. Unless it's my character inflicting it.

It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

Then it's hilarious.

the Doctor of Death, the Angel of Life
Allheilmittel
[h r]
Maria Ludwig ♦ Female ♦ 18 ♦ Munich, Bavaria
C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T:

"I decide who lives and who dies."

Maria Ludwig, perhaps one of the tragic cases of domestic abuse, as her mother died of childbirth causing her father to fall into depression and madness. At first, her father did love her as she was his only child and did for a few years raised Maria the best he could for s single father. But given his profession as a medical doctor, Dr. Ludwig rarely had an easy life balancing his daughter and his job. Still, he perseveres until Maria got her first injury tripping on the concrete sidewalk.

What would have been an alarming knee scrap for any parent, Dr. Ludwig could not believe his eyes when he saw the wound repair itself in a matter of seconds. It was so quick he feared he imagine it but his daughter’s fall was undeniable. He needed to know, needed to test, needed to figure out what exactly happened. From that point on, Dr. Ludwig saw Maria not as her daughter but as his new project.

At first, the experiments were tame as he simply waited for her to injure herself more and observe the bruises and scraps slowly healing. Once he concluded that his eyes were still in reality, Dr. Ludwig escalated his inquiry and that turned Maria’s entire world upside down. She became a prisoner of her own home as her own father relentlessly tested the limits of her miraculous healing.

Everything about the procedures was brutal and barbaric in every sense. Mutilations, dissections, and vivisections were the new norm in the house with every bone realigning itself further launch Dr. Ludwig into a realm of total depravity. Every poison, disease, and injury known to mankind was inflicted on Maria as she grew up, further destroying her mental sanity just like her father. Soon enough, the pain was such a common occurrence that she simply started to ignore it completely or in some cases, embrace it.

As she approached her late teen years, Maria was more than willing enough to torture her own body just as much as her father who was at this point wanted to use the healing blood to cure death itself, to resurrect his dead wife. But alas, the German authorities finally caught up to him. While Dr. Ludwig was busy experimenting on his daughter’s healing blood, he also secretly tested it upon cancer patients and other maligned sicknesses that his daughter did not have. These “miracles” at a local Munich hospital were too good to be true for a few wary Germans and indeed when the GSG 9 crashed into his home, he was already prepared to flee the country. Unfortunately, he failed and he was put on trial for a gross number of charges, mainly domestic abuse of his daughter. Dr. Ludwig pleaded for insanity and was whisked away from Maria’s life.

As for her, it turns out her father wanted to escape to the US to hide despite the close relationship Germany and America had. Maria herself was curious about the US and thought of why he chose them. But it was Julian who came into her life speaking impeccable German and even teaching her some English. What was he asking for? Join a team? She will be useful? Save lives? Sehr gut.

A B I L I T I E S:
Healing Blood: It does what it says. Maria’s blood is capable of curing all wounds, injuries, poisons, and diseases known to humanity. If it’s a first-time exposure to a new sickness, the healing blood will inevitably adapt to be a curer of that poison through prolonged exposure. Indeed, the healing blood is potent enough that if you removed Maria’s brain from her body, the blood will simply regrow a new one with all her memories intact just like an axolotl. However, it has a normal lifespan like normal blood and will lose all its healing properties when the blood cells die. In fact, it's so potent that decapitation is null if her head is reattached to her neck in a timely matter.
One major boon from this healing blood is infinite stamina as her muscles would never tire out due to constant replenishment.

C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:
All Maria knows throughout her life was pain and isolation. Despite all the torture inflicted by her father, it’s a genuine waste for her healing blood to be hidden from the world at large. Besides, it’s important for her to regain her empathy and compassion through good acts, not bad. In her own weird way, she enjoys curing people, she really does. Her hatred of diseases and poison is absolute and detests their presence in anyone. A world free of sickness would be a good world for her.

On a meta-level, someone has to keep the teammates alive.

C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:
To be blunt, Maria in her current state is unfit for society. She would fail any psychology test given to her and be a general hazard to anyone near her. In all honesty, she belongs in a straitjacket as her lack of empathy is disturbing. Much of her twisted thinking was forced upon her by her father; bizarre philosophies of the purity of the human body. The supremacy of a natural human body, free of ills and modifications. Maria was a deep and uncomfortable reaction to cybernetics and synthetic humans.

R E L A T I O N S H I P S:
Like her father, she sees the people around her as guinea pigs to stab needles into to satisfy her morbid curiosity about the human body. Try not to get injured, her first aid, even her surgery skills, is hazardous enough to be considered self-taught. In reality, her father did teach her proper medical procedure but Maria mostly ignores the ethics of medicine as her healing blood allows her to be more reckless/callous towards her patients.

E R W I N P E R R I E R E ♦ M A L E ♦ 2 0 ♦ B R I S B A N E , Q U E E N S L A N D
C H A R A C T E R C O N C E P T:

" Oi, stop gapin' at me like a drongo, mate. You believe a Yank can fly, yet, you have a hard time with my bod?"

Born a wee lad in the heart of Brisbane, Erwin Perriere, in spite of his diagnosis of cystic fibrosis, wasn't going to let a little something like an uncurable ailment stop him from achieving his dreams. Graduating from Melbourne University with a double-major in Zoology and Genetics at the remarkably young age of 17 with the support of his parents and step-brother, Mark, he took an interest in the research papers of Grace Balin, a disgraced academic from the now defunct Gotham Academy, and her conjectures on cross-species therapy. With his condition growing more terminal everyday, Erwin used Grace's research as the basis of his Honours project, seeking to perfect the process to make a gene therapy formula which could cure a wide range of chronic diseases from Huntington's, Alzheimers, sickle-celled anemia and more.

In his research process, Erwin grew desperate and used one of the formulas he had derived in the lab on himself. Now, I know what you might be thinking. It's the classic backstory for a mad scientist to use a prototype formula on himself without approval from the Australia Food and Drug administration which didn't receive a double-blind test. His initial reaction was pain, unbelievable agony, the type that made you want to die and wish your heart would stop beating. When he woke up, he realised four things.

One. His Cystic Fibrosis was gone.

Two. He needed to stop using Sharpies to label his test tubes because they smudged so much.

Three. He ingested the platypus formula instead of the axtotl formula.

Four. He was a six-foot tall bipedal platypus.

Inevitably realizing that the university would take action against him for recklessly experimenting on himself and that the government would inquire about how he managed to create such a formula, Erwin, in a display of not very capitalistic scientific ethics, torched down his lab and escaped into the wilds of the Australian Outback with only a tattered labcoat on his back. For weeks, he laid low, accepting the dietary needs of his new physiology and hiding in the swamps of Queensland, as authorities searched for any signs of his body, the news reporting about hysteric witnesses who reported 'a man in a platypus costume' who had ran down the parking lot of Melbourne University Biological Sciences Building.

It was in the muck and grime of the wetlands that Erwin discovered the budding seed of vigilantism within him when he noticed a group of poachers in the night surrounding a family of bettong. Whilst not initially wanting to get involved at first, Erwin's heart begrudgingly won out as he scared the pack of poachers off whilst reporting the bettong to the authorities. As he made his way back to his house, strangers and locals would whisper of a man-sized platypus who would stop robbers, tell off pickpocketers, escort kangaroos across busy streets and even help prevent rowdy beachgoers from drowning because they thought they had enough balls to stand in a riptide.

After six months of travel followed by periodic bouts of vigilantism, he finally made his way back to his family. Erwin was shocked to discover that they didn't reject him for his monstrous appearance (In hindsight, how would a platypus be terrifying?). However, after some discussion, his parents, his step-brother and Erwin decided that it would be exceptionally hard to keep a man-sized platypus thing at home and that with prejudice against metahumans and all things that didn't contain 100% human DNA rising in the national public conciousness of Australia, that it would be probably better for him to seek help with his condition.

Thus, Erwin set off on a journey to America, eventually encountering Morgan Edge, who offered him the possibility of a cure in exchange for joining a team of unknown individuals.....

A B I L I T I E S:
Thanks to the combination of an inert meta-gene along with the experimental cross-gene plasmid transduction formula, Erwin has been bestowed with a physiology superior to that of most human beings along with the proportional traits and abilities of the monotreme species, Ornithorhynchus anatinus, otherwise commonly known as the platypus. Deadlifting five tonnes, a constitution capable of weathering low-calibre bullet fire and stamina to survive 10 sprints around Uluru without losing a breath are just some of the miracles that the lab incident bestowed upon him. His semi-aquatic mammalian features such as his tail and webbed feet also him to manuever gracefully through water like an hairy duck-billed mermaid, upwards at speeds of up to 100 km/h. His glossy coat of fur is also useful in a pinch for surviving flames as well as keeping himself toasty in freezing temperatures.

Other than the usual package of brute strength and durability, Erwin's cuddly platypus visage isn't just for show, as, several centuries of evolutionary history have been hyper-accelerated by the formula into an assortment of useful powers, the most prominent being Erwin's powers of electroreception. With this, Erwin is able to track, differentiate and detect the unique bio-electric aura of any organic being or machinery that is able to emit one for miles. Whether it's behind fog, walls or in a bunker, Erwin will be able to find it with pinpoint accuracy. However, emission of electromagnetic pulses or high-density electromagnetic waves over a long period of time will short-circuit his abilities. This makes up for his low-light vision, which while excellent in the dark and in aquatic enviroments, is horribly bad in conditions with high quantities of light which are blinding to him. Thus, Erwin usually wears a large pair of shades.

Erwin's least used power is the lethal venom that he produces on a daily basis into glands stored in his elbows. The venom in his glands is considered by him to be a weapon of last resort. Stored in his elbows, this toxic corrosive substance is strong enough to cause debilitating pain to anyone it comes into contact with and cause death if not treated immediately.

He can also lay eggs.

Don't mention that fact to him.

C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:
Erwin necessarily doesn't want to be a hero but he's finding that he doesn't necessarily hate it either. Erwin's desire to do good stems his drive to use scientific knowledge for the benefit of humanity and his experiences travelling alongside the outlying territories and boonies of Queensland. In spite of his excuse that heroism is a distraction for his quest to find a cure, Erwin spirit of selflessness and need to do right shines through, even when he complains about it.

Erwin uses the unimaginable power and diversity of an Australian's capacity to swear alongside his cocksure persona to hide his insecurity and doubt about his seemingly inhuman nature. Sure, a platypus ain't scary as a crocodile or an orca but the chance of any real integration or interaction with normal society went out the boat the moment he took the formula. Whilst Erwin's main goal above all is to find a cure for his condition, his desire to do good and find justice tangles with his seemingly self-centered goal. Thus, it's developed into a conundrum that threatens to tear himself in two.

Well so far the crew looks like:

A satanic bastardization of science to make a human-alien hybrid

A person who has had her soul destroyed by cybernetics

A flesh-eating monster from space sent to wipe out mankind

And a godless pagan witch

Time to win over some hearts and minds.


Now there's a german medic

and a platypus
