[b]Character Tier[/b]: Intermediate [b]Character Type[/b]: Critical Character- Active Multiverse Participant [b]Physical Description[/b]: Gray’s most key attire lies in his simple style of top and bottom. He bares an obsidian jacket, with a thick red line towering from shoulder to shoulder. Complimented by dark denim jeans, a chain dangles lightly from on the back right belt loop. Both of his hands are gloved, fingerless is often the most common. His body gestures and movement are all very loose and fluid. [b]Personality Description[/b]: Darian is an easily misunderstood and ludicrously deep individual that is often transfixed on a single obsession while blotting out all other distractions. Conversations he has within himself leave much to explore how fragile his mind has become over the years he’s wandered. In truth he’s sought for answers as to why he was born, been moved to tears, and its essentially fairly hard to legitimize trust with others after suffering much abuse. In conversation on the interpersonal level, Gray tends to be a bit more on the evasive side when talking. No straight answers will be given or relayed to questions he does not possess the proper knowledge to/of. He seems to wear a sense of serenity imbued with sincerity as well as grave sorrow. When under grave impressions of sorrow he is almost unapproachable and does everything possible to expand an endless amount of distance between him and whoever is around him. Boding for complete isolation. When angered Gray seems to show a much more callous nature compared to all else. Where there are those that have been pushed to the brink of madness, his sense of solitude following his birthing bathed him, and anger is but a tool used to shred everything around him. He is in a much more efficient and heightened state of processing, compared to sorrow where he’ll create distance, he tends to eliminate it at all cost when angered. Speaking brashly and having a sharp tongue billowing out monstrous context, verbally assaulting whom ever has pushed him to this state. Combat proficiency. Something Gray has understood and committed to muscle memory, he has an instinctive feel for all ranges when produced to encounters. Allocated in his calm state, he possesses a exasperatingly keen eye for subtle movements in nature and open space. He fights with great vigor and fends of his very life if and when necessary, employing all resources and tactical incisions that he deems appropriate. [b]Character History[/b]: The Story of Darian Gray~ Epilogue They are one in the same. Gray, you've been the true me I've tried to conceal for years. Letting you out confirmed I was not the same person as before. There is so little I understand, but now I am unblinded by worry or doubt. Thank you...for helping me save someone very close to me. I could feel it in my bones, as you shed from me that day. Its when I lost a sense of value that only you could know, and the confidence to find purpose. For a time you wandered searching where as I seemed to roam as your equivalent with Ty Dex. However in our time apart, i began to realize the drastic change in my personality without you there. I was...empty? Quiet, yet with a chain of mistakes, eliminating my ability to cope without you. Remembering you were never cast out, but a pain pushed you out that was beyond my control. I wasn't even able to resolve the tears of that day as if you'd carried them within you this entire time. Even as we fought, I felt...i'd even weakened as you combated both Ty Dex and I and prevailed over the two of us. You made me realize, no, see that there is a conscious around everyone and everything. That as dwellers, we should have more of an appreciation for whats around us. In our reunion, you seemed to loose it and start crying. From what I feel about it now, you missed me as much as I did you. I'm glad your back, we are equals, welcome home my friend. ~Salforge[/hider] [hider=Abilities] Skills, powers and abilities: Gray’s body functions as a makeshift physiology, that is a constant variable when encountering multiple material and non-materials. Established as a form of absorption meeting a makeshift, so naturally every potential combination is always temporary and finite. He can imbue something such as transformations, transmogrifications, and even distort his own size in the process of altering his own body. [i]Makeshift Physiology [High][/i] - Gray’s body is not that of a normal matter, while in a solid state, his own structure is constantly moving, and while solid he weigh’s virtually one forth his actual weight. His constantly moving structure tend to absorb and shift to whatever he comes in contact with. For example, if he were to touch a plastic bag, his body’s composition would match that of the bag and become plastic. Any composition his body takes on, also includes that material’s weakness, however he is incapable of assuming the bodily manifestation of special brands of energy or magic, due to their intangibility, he will tend to revert from either of those when he’s overused them versus being able to revert from a solid material on a whim. [I]Makeshift Physiology: Composition Change & Duration[/I] - Gray's body as explained is capable of consistently changing composition. This means upon touching material directly by use of his hands (feet are not applicable, rest assured) he is able to assume the make up of said material. To be more specific the material has to have a mass equal to or greater than that of Gray's own mass to completely cover his entire body. The effects newly written composition are by no means permanent. The typical duration for holding his physiology to a specific composition falls at a maximum of one hour duration. At any time prior to this hour, Gray is able to dismiss the effects of the written composition and resume his normal state. [I]Makeshift Physiology: Weight Distribution[/I][Intermediate] - As apart of altering the state of his body through touch of material, Gray is capable of controlling his own weight. His base weight is 180lbs which he can return to at any time, unlike composition change this has no maximum duration and Gray is capable of altering his own weight at any time. This essentially effects his own mass, by increasing or decreasing it to effect his weight. This is primarily done in a manner to decrease his falling speed to land much more gracefully and alternatively to hold himself in place to prevent himself from being moved. His minimum weight is addressed at albs, his normal weight at 180lbs, and his maximum weight at 900lbs. Each of these shifts in weight have no significant change on Gray's physical body, the ground below him, and his sluggish or nimble movements are the indication his weight is being shifted around. His weight is shifted in intervals of 6lbs. from 6lbs to his normal weight, there are exactly 30 multiples of weight his body shifts to reach his normal weight. Each multiple is shifted every 2 seconds, so naturally when changing his weight to make himself lighter (from his normal weight to 6lbs) is the duration of about a 1/3rd of a post. There are exactly 150 multiples of 6 between his normal weight and his max weight, taking 3 times the time to build from his normal to maximum weight (easily 3 minutes) and this duration is about one full post. Weight gain or loss can be performed while moving, in fact, moving cuts the interval in half. (& Falling counts as movement) [i]Ailment/Disease/Poison Immunity [Intermediate][/i] - Due to Gray’s body constantly changing, he is immune to bodily viruses, toxins, germs, and bacteria. [i]Physical Durability [Intermediate][/i] - Gray is capable of withstanding five times his weight in damage at his normal weight of 180lbs. As his weight decreases or increases (see weight distribution) his durability is also affected dramatically. At six pounds, his durability changes to only being able to withstand 30lbs of weight, at his maximum weight of 900lbs Gray can withstand 4,500lbs of weight, he is immobile unable to move but he is capable of purely defending in this position. [I]Physical Strength [Intermediate][/I] - Gray's strength is interval to the same exact scale as his own durability. It is always able to lift and commit work at five times whatever his current weight is. Ideally, he does not utilize his strength when significantly under his normal weight (at least by 15 multiples or under 90lbs). [I]Speed Intervals [intermediate][/I] - Gray's speed operates and is a variable in combination with his total weight, as is similar with his physical strength. At his maximum weight, Gray is immobile 0MPH, but physically strongest. At his normal weight of 180lbs, his highest velocity possible is 270MPH. At his minimum weight, Gray is the most nimble doubling his highest velocity at his normal weight, for a total velocity of 540MPH. [i]Bide [Intermediate][/i] - This is what is known as the ability to store energy within his body that is reflected from two things, the first is the reflected by the amount of damage received by Gray. This is a distinction that should come as little to know surprise an exchange must be made for energy to be stored. Let me be very clear and omit two inconsistencies to avert confusion. Remaining stationary and self-induced actions such as traveling and bodily movement stand to administer no effects to biding energy for the user's use. When Gray attempts to damage himself, he only ends up causing harm to himself versus biding energy to use against enemies. [i]Bide Release: Capacity & Duration[Intermediate][/I] - Gray's ability to bide energy through damage comes with a capacity and a duration. His natural capacity is always variable to his overall body mass, and he can only hold energy equivocal to 5 times his full strength at every weight. At six-pounds where his total strength mete by his weight is that of thirty-pounds multiplied by five. At his normal weight of 180lbs, he his physical strength is that of 900lbs of weight and he energy he can store is easily five times this weight. At his max weight of 900lbs, and total strength in physical strength of 4,500 lbs, his energy storage capacity is again five times his total strength. Gray's duration for each an every instance based on his current weight is regulated accordingly. The energy dissipates faster at lower weights, due to his mass being smaller and the retention of energy is significantly less at lower weight compared to higher weight. The Duration at his maximum capacity, although he is immobile, he can hold the maximum interval for 10 days or 240 hours consecutively. His duration at minimum capacity at this weight is 7 days, or 168 hours total. The duration at his maximum capacity for his normal weight is for 3 days, or 72 hours. At minimum capacity, the duration of retaining energy can be held for 36 hours. The duration at his maximum capacity reflecting his minimum weight is 2 hours. At minimum capacity, the duration of retaining energy can be held for a mere 45 minutes. Note: The durations are simply intervals and figures used to measure when energy that is bided, becomes lost when it is not in use. This energy simultaneously is treated completely separately from Gray's individual actions that are not directly imbuing a bide release. Talking, yawning, walking, etc would be precarious examples of character actions completely unrelated to using bided energy. Posts themselves will address the bare minimum and maximum thresholds/capacities, but during an actual fight there is the condition of constantly using releases to fight as well as to recover. Bide Release: Compression & Expansion (1)[Intermediate] This section is to properly define compression and expansion of energy while directly effecting Capacity and Duration during weight distribution. Compression occurs when loosing weight, this also means energy that is stored to either max or minimum capacity shrinks, to equal Gray's new mass. This has a direct effect on his duration as well, as he is cutting the time he has to use bided energy within significantly. When it comes to expansion, the exact opposite phenomenon occurs. When gaining weight, the current capacity and duration changes significantly, expanding the existing energy bided by the enemy party, to match up with Gray's new mass. In this event, Energy is gained via expansion. The vulnerabilities between both are more noticeable through compression versus expansion. While expansion takes longer to occur (post wise) Gray has more of a window to protect himself. While compression occurs, Gray is loosing a maximum available bided energy and his attacks will be less potent/weakened at significantly lower weights. Bide Release: Silver Gamut [Intermediate] - Gray is capable of using bided energy from his enemies and can reconstitute that damage into his own material. This is defined as Silver Gamut Emission, he can create a silver substance without fail so long as he is using bided energy. The Silver Gamut is a very elastic, viscous, sticky, gelatinous and most importantly, flammable material that only Gray can create. It possesses no type of poisonous or hazardous make it a biohazard. In fact in his hands it's almost completely harmless, however the Silver Gamut is dangerous from a strictly physical standpoint. The substance itself is very malleable and can be shaped into any abstract form or polygon, while retaining its individual properties (elasticity, viscosity, sticky, gelatinous appearance). When the foe touches it, directly, it will not leave their flesh when direct contact is made. If the foe possesses some ability to separate matter, this is a valid means of separating themselves from Silver Gamut, the alternative escape is for Gray to remove the foe from Silver Gamut's bind. Silver Gamut when thrown at each distribution of weight, will travel at Gray's speed at each respective state of weight (the exception is 900lbs when he is immobile). Silver Gamut's properties make it invaluable in immobilizing, trapping, slowing down, or grabbing foes. It's strength of impact is interval to Gray's maximum strength at whatever his current weight is, contrary to belief, the impact at any speed is always non-lethal and empty of blunt-force. The throw is just to ensure it reaches the target, and the stickiness of Silver Gamut does the rest. While Silver Gamut is flammable, but not by fire. It's make up is actually very volatile and sensitive to intense physical struggle. When a person is caught in Silver Gamut and is struggling to release themselves from it (I will say by the second post of being trapped and resisting the appendages) it will combust and set the trapped person on fire. note: Oil or Sweat are two things that can dislodge a person from silver gamut's grasp. It takes an exponential amount if the entire body is covered. [/hider] [hider=Armaments] [b]Character Equipment[/b]: [i]The Ambidex [Intermediate][/i] - Four sets of bracers allocated to four different sections of Gray’s body, thick golden braces each with the weight of about two kilograms each. Two located at the wrist of each arm, and at the ankles of both legs. They serve to stabilize Gray's body, to keep him from scattering if you will and offer complete conscious control over his body's composition, weight, durability, speed and strength. Under no circumstances can the braces be removed by anything (unless we're dealing with a high powered character that can displace space) not even Gray himself. As far as the braces themselves are established, they serve as striking weapons in close quarters combat. Despite their weight, when combined with Gray's physical strength they can pack quite the punch along with their added weight to slightly amplify gray's strength should a physical attack connect. [i]Ivalenzer [Intermediate][/i] Darian's primary weapon, something of a memento from Dairshn Vista. The hilt of this blade posses no guard whatsoever. Its layered, black with silver emblazoned rings around the grip. The centre where the blade begins, is a portal from where it can eject and extend. The blade itself is something of a complete probe-like shape and protrusion respectively yet its dual-edged and sharped on each. What is noted is it has a narrowed center, and has a full width, extending 20 meters. In many respects the weapon is used to vault over fences, and to scale high walls by hookshoting to their locations with ease. In combat to quickly defend small or wide hit boxes by changing his attack speed using the length of his ivalenzer to his advantage. [/hider]
