Character Personality (Give information on how your character acts, what he/she believes in, how they handle situations): Smoke is a eccentric and eclectic individual. his extraordinary past has him acting the roles of hundreds of people throughout his life and therefor he comes off as very erratic to many people. He does however know how to see in the long run, and therefor his rushed emotions seem ill advised, he knows how to bide his time. He likes to scheme, to powerplay, and to lurk. He plays his cards close, and keeps his fingers in everyones deck. He is malicious and literally lives off the suffering of others, but seeks power and praise.
Uniform/costume: As a shapeshifter his appearance is always changing but his base forms seems to be this
Origin Info/Details: The origins of Smoke can be traced back to Mesoamerica, circa 15th century. An ancestor bearing powers very similar to Smokes was praised as the human vessel of the god Mictlantecuhtli of the Aztec people. However, another mutant bearing a power of emotional feeding and absorption disputed this claim. This other mutant was a high priest of the Aztec religion, and refuted the claim that their gods would and could walk the earth. It was eventually decided that the earthly vessel should be sent back to witch the god came, to balance nature in the gods absence. The priest agreed, believing that even if this man was a god, he would be solving both his and his peoples problems. As the ritual obsidian knife came down on the ancestor, grabbed the priest, disintegrating the man, and the blade, but before he was done, a bolt of lightning struck the top of the temple and the pair. The only thing that remained was the blade, and the disfigured husk of the priest. Followers believed it as a sign that Mictlantecuhtli had returned to his realm and had punished the priest for believing he could send him back under his own accord. What they did not know was that both of these ancient mutants had been fused into the blade itself. For the remainder of Aztec rule, this blade would manipulate its wielders and seek bloodshed and sacrifice. Countless souls were put to the the alter under this blade, and each soul was absorbed into it, making it more powerful, more persuasive.
With the fall of the empire, and the conquest of the Spanish, the blade sought new hands. The mythical blade sold, stolen, lost, forgotten, recovered, and bartered throughout the Caribbean throughout the early 18th century; secretly fueling the betrayals, murders, and backstabbings of fickle minds and souls that fell under its spell. Eventually a private collector in Spain managed to smuggle it out of a royal convey sending back New World treasure back to the Crown(a transaction laced in deceit and blood no doubt). From there it sat locked away until the Spanish Revolution displaced the artifact. Nazi Treasure hunters then came across the blade, loosing it in a treacherous deal with Japanese officials who placed it in a warehouse in Nagasaki until it could be cataloged and studied. Unfortunately an A-bomb was dropped two blocks down from the warehouse a week later. The nuclear reaction restructured the atomic structure of the blade, hereby serving as a soul-prison for two mutants and a few thousand sacrificial souls spanning the ages, and releasing them. Being trapped in the blade so long had eaten away at the constitution of every soul in the blade, and therefor they formed one cohesive soul during their imprisonment.
This malicious being found its way into then Russian underworld following the end of WW2, reiterating into the modern world of the living behind the Iron Curtain. It is there Smoke learned his criminal habits, becoming an infamous 'series' of KGB agent; each one being a trope played for months until they were 'taken out' wherein Smoke would take on another face and move up the ranks. He became embroiled in the Afghan War, along with conflicts in early communist China, during which time he began monitoring and collecting aliases and contacts for a future 'business' he would later form, going from Cuba, France, Japan, America, and many countries in between disguised as various spies, assassins, and informants. Smoke's contribution to world events has always been speculative but coming into this new decade Smoke has officially decided to start his 'business'. This is more of an ambiguous Terrorist cell, each member working with minimal instruction, minimal contact, and virtually no knowledge of ulterior motives that Smoke has.
Hero Type:
Shape Shifter
Power Level :
City Level with the ability to grow in power to World Level
Powers: Smoke's most noticeable and powerful power is a very passive one; he is a sentient cloud of dark gaseous solid, able to change his atomic structure and molecular form at will. This makes him an incredible shapeshifter, nigh intangible to physical combat, and very elusive and agile. His other more active ability is disintegration; he can use his ability to change atomic structures with matter he comes in contact with. He can disintegrate a full grown man in less than a minute if he concentrates.
Attributes :
Strength Level: Normal Human
Speed/Reaction Timing Level: 100+ MPH.
Endurance at MAXIMUM Effort: 3 hours
Agility: Normal Human, 10X
Intelligence: Genius
Fighting Skill: Trained
Resources: Large
Weaknesses: Smoke is just that; a gas, and can be manipulated in the same ways they can(if a gas can think and change into liquids or solids that is). His powers feed off of the death of those around him, so he is naturally drawn toward strife and suffering, and has a strong urge to commit those acts.
Supporting Characters:
Tremor: Former Yakuza muscle that Smoke has picked up on 'offseason' as he refers to it.
Keiv's Rose: Eastern European bankrobber of some public acclaim, also a contact of Smoke's
Lotus: ambiguous term for a group of informants that operate in the Chinese/Indonesia theater, former 'company' of Smoke's
I think you are right. Yay.
