<Snipped quote by Hillan>

When he was your age, he had to walk uphill in both directions just to get to a computer that could use dial up.

@Lord Wraith

He had to actually dial up to the modem, like, with a phone. He also had no fancy arms or legs.

So as it turns out, I'm not as nocturnal as I thought. But you can't blame me for planning to stay awake lest I face the threat of bug invasion; there's still one around somewhere that got away and I know there are more in the walls. I'll be damned if they crawl inside my ears at night and lay their eggs... Beacuse then they win.

@Marik

They'll lay their eggs inside of your eyes or in your nose, not in your ears, silly.

[Lmpkio]

@rocketrobie2 Sure. You can make an intro post and then I'll have Shinji come into play.

@Hillan

Oh god, what if they've already done it?! I should pluck my eyes out, just to be safe...

[Lord Wraith]

Well I finally got my first Mythic from a booster pack so now that I'm in a very pleasant mood I'll be jumping in the pad to finish Slip up! Feel free to join me to chat, brainstorm, rant, rave, dance, party and any number of other verbs I could put here.

//ABILITIES:

■ ENHANCED LIFESPAN | The average American River Otter lives until the age of sixteen. This would make Slip currently middle aged, however his mechanical augmentation has tripled his life meaning Slip is capable of living until the ripe old age of forty eight years. As such, he's currently in his prime.

■ ENHANCED PHYSIOLOGY | When Slip was experimented on, his skeletal frame was grafted with an alien alloy. As such, Slip is much more durable than he looks. His bones are capable of surviving major impacts or even blows from superhumans. The experiments also resulted in Slip being injected with a chemical compound which merged with her hair folicles causing his fur to become resistented to flame and energy. His fur is capable of disipating energy blasts, distributing the blow over a wider area to reduce the damage. Slip is also faster and stronger than an average otter, his strength on pair with a professional human athelete while his speed allows him to reach up to nearly 80kph (50mph) in the water. His running speed is significantly slower due to having to run on all four stubby legs. The most evident enhancement however was the increase to Slip's intelligence granted him a sense of self-awareness and the ability to think, feel and problem solve on the same level as a human.

■ OMNI-LINGUAL | While the experiments on Slip increased his vocal range, it's the universal translator implanted in both his vocal chords and ears that allow him to communicate with others. The translator is pre-programmed with nearly nine million known languages and can learn new ones through linguistic analysis. This allows Slip to communicate with nearly every species so long as they communicate verbally.

■ POCKET HAMMERSPACE | In the wild, otters have a fur pouch on their chest where they keep their favourite rock. This rock is used to break open shellfish and dig under water in order to find food. Slip was no different until he was experimented on. Now his fur pocket actually contains a limitless hammer space enabling him to store large weapons and even bounties in his chest. As such he stores all his arms in this pocket hammer space, only pulling them out when necessary.

//EQUIPMENT:

■ REVOLVER | A quick draw side-arm, Slip is rarely without his revolver. Capable of firing super heated slugs, the rounds act as a combination of both energy and ballistic fire. The weapon has a secondary fire mode which emits electrifying rounds designed to attack the nervous system which paralyzes the target.

■ PLASMA THROWER | Slip's favourite weapon, the plasma thrower is a lethal weapon which emits a superheat gout of plasma. This beam can be sustained to cut through most metals and often bypassing kinetic shields and other forceshields.

■ BLUNDERBUSS | A powerful kinetic weapon which fires a spread of solid rounds at a deadly velocity. Used for bypassing kinetic fields and penetrating enemy armor. The rounds explode upon impact for additional damage.

■ PETRIFIER | A wrist mounted fire arm that emits a beam which traps the target in frozen petrified state that keeps the victim in a state of stasis. Used for securing bounties and allowing Otter to transport them without struggle.

■ GRAV-GRENADES | Grenades which affect gravity, either pinning the target to the ground with increased gravity or sending them hurling through the air by decreasing it. Furthermore, if the grenade was detonated against a wall, the gravity would pull the target to the wall instead of the floor. The increase or decrease of gravity depends on which way Slip turns the cap.

//SKILLS:

■ INTUITIVE INVENTOR | Since the experiement boosted Slip's intelligence, he's had a way with mechanical devices almost inuitively knowing what parts will go together to create a desired result. As such many of his weapons are of his own design, along with his harness. Furthermore whenever Slip is in possession of a ship, he modifies the controls to suit his smaller frame.

■ MARKSMAN | An excellent shot, Slip is a capable marksman at both close and long range. Rarely missing his target, Slip has learned to take down most opponents with a well place shot rather than wasting munitions firing carelessly. He prefers to avoid messes and likes to keep things as quick and easy as possible.

■ PRAGMATIC COMBATANT | Slip is capable of fighting his way out of a situation even when caught without preparation. An expert at using the environment to his advantage, Slip will use whatever is at hand to make sure the fight goes his way.

//LIMITATIONS:

■ SHORT LIMBS | Without his harness, Slip can't operate a lot of machinery due in part to how short his natural limbs are. If his harness becomes damaged or is removed from his person, Slip can't properly operate the majority of his weapons in order to defend himself.

■ NAIVETY | The Universe is a big place full of people that are much more developed than Slip. As such Slip often comes across as a naive child who has only been introduced to the world for the first time. His opponents can take advantage of this.

//WEAKNESSES:

■ GREED | Despite having a fairly decent set of morals, Slip is prone to put those morals aside for a good pay cheque. He can be bought off or even be bought for the right fee.

■ SIZE | Slip's size is both a curse and a blessing. it causes people to underestimate him but it can also be a great limitor. Against larger opponents, Slip can often be overwhelmed and easily over powered if caught off guard.

//STATS:

■ HEIGHT | 42" (Including tail), 22" (Excluding tail)
■ WEIGHT | 25 lbs
■ FUR COLOUR | Brown
■ EYE COLOUR | Black

//DESCRIPTION:

Slipstream appears to be an average North American River Otter. Aside from this, he wears a mechanical harness which act as augmented prostectic arms to allow Slip to use and manipulate firearms, controls and other such instrumentation which would normally be out of reach for his stubby arms. Additionally this harness has a jetpack which rests on Slip's back.Beneath the harness sits a long and heavy leather like coat. This coat reaches from Slip's neck, down to his ankles and is resilient to most energy attacks as well as armored against ballistic ones. A dark brown, appearing almost black in some lights, the coat is made from the hide of what could be essentially described as a space alligator. Around the collar and lapels is a thick layer of wool like fur to add both warmth and a decorative design to the coat. Over his right eye, Slip wears an optical augment which acts as a targeting device and HUD. Slip has a gold hoop in his left ear as well as several gold bands around his tail. More often than not, Slip wears a leather flying cap with the goggles seated above his forehead.

|_B I O G R A P H Y:_|

^{"Yeah, I get it. You're impressed."}

For decades, hollywood has portrayed aliens as little green men who steal away men, woman and cows in the night, probing them before returning them to Earth. Slipstream found out the hard way that not only are these stories true but the victims are not limited to humans and cattle. Abducting the young otter from his holt, Slip was experimented on by the small green aliens who mechanically augmented his entire skeleton and granting the rodent increased intelligence. Escaping his makers, Slip found himself alone in a massive new world. Learning how to survive, Slip found he had a knack for machines and eventually built himself a mechanical harness that allowed him to use firearms and fly spaceships.

Eventually making his way to the center of the Universe, Slip encounted the alien named Aquanticus. The two hit it off, forming both a partnership and a tight friendship. Now known as both a pair of pirates and bounty hunters, the pair have made their way to Slip's homeworld of Earth in search of an ancient alien artifact buried eons ago beneath the site now known as New Athens.

|_S T O R Y L I N E S:_|

■ THE DYNAMIC DUO | Slipstream and Aquaticus arrive on Earth in search of an ancient alien artifact.

■ THE CURSE OF THE BLACK ORB | Finding the alien artifact, Slip and Aquaticus find themselves pursued by an unknown foe while the orb threatens more than just their partnership.

■ DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES | After killing an alien noble, a bounty is placed on Slip's head forcing him to seek aid beyond just his partnership with Aquaticus.

...And more to come!

|_N O T E S:_|

■ PATRIOT | Slipstream is a proud Canadian Otter. Despite having barely lived in the country, he often stands up for it and more importantly stands up for Earth.

NOT Aquaman

A Q U A T I C U S

| B I R T H N A M E: |

It

| N I C K N A M E ( S ): |

Wet
Big Blue Giant
Tall, tall, tall glass of water

| A R C H E T Y P E: |

Alien Bounty Hunter/ Pirate / Retired Infiltrator

| A L I A S ( E S ): |

AQUATICUS

| S E X: |

N/A, refers to itself as a "He".

| A G E: |

84 years old, has the mental age of potato peel.

| A L I N G M E N T |:

Whatever his master decides for him.

| P E R S O N A L I T Y |:

Childish, Gullable, Trusting, Dimwitted, Protective.

| A P P E A R A N C E: |

His form is malleable and is able to alter his appearance, to even seem humanoid of he so desires. His most common appearance however is a hulking form, three meters tall and two meters wide between the shoulders, pouring with water. A seemingly small head between his shoulders. The liquid water that makes up his body is semi-solid, unless another state is used, thus allowing him to wear clothes, such as theTricore Hat inspired by 18th century Pirates on Planet Earth.

| A B I L I T I E S: |

■ Drowian Physique:

As the last remaining Dowian, taken away from his home when very young he does not know very much about his heritage. His conciousness is tored in a navy blue sphere made out of a incredibly tough dermal layer. He believes it to be his heart, and as such protects it greatly. His body can always reform from his Heart, providing there's water around, making him very difficult to injure.

■ Hydrokinetic:

Potentially one of the most capable manipulators of Water, Aquaticus is able to turn Oxygen and Hydrogen into water, thus effectively allowing him infinite water that he can then manipulate the pressure, temperature and amount of, giving him a vast variety of abilities, both offensive and defensive.

■ Superhuman Durability:

Able to survive gunfire without any injury, AQUATICUS is quite the imposing foe, given his very powerful nature.

| W E A K N E S S E S: |

■ Intelligence :

While old, he's not very smart. He's a gentle soul at heart who never has any desire to harm anyone, only following the orders of his master. He's gullible and easy to convince of just about anything, like a child with no life experience.

■ Gravity

When absorbing hydrogen and Oxygen to turn into water, he needs to be under the affect of "regular" gravity. As such, in the vacuum of space, he's unable to form his body and is as such nothing more than a 10 Inch sphere. Likewise a planet without an atmosphere makes it impossible for him to increase his mass, only use the water he had with him when he landed on the new planet.

■ Heat:

He can control his body in Solid and Liquid form, but gas is not possible for him to control his body in - while he can absorb the atoms and cool them if constant heat is put on him he will vaporize into his shell.

| S K I L L S: |

■ Stealth :

Due to his powers and his past, he's an excellent user of stealth, able to turn into a puddle, or to freeze against a wall, he's able to easily avoid detection.

■ Mechanical skills:

A recent skill, picked up thanks to his partner, AQUATICUS has an understanding of both machinery and weapons as well as the skills to perform repairs.

■ Animal Friend:

Even the Furious Xar-Eating Predator Tigers of Malkior XI will let the big Blue Giant scratch their belly.

| B I O G R A P H Y: |

Very little is known about AQUATICUS's past. He was taken from his home planet - a planet of other beings just like him right before their sun expanded and went red, the increased heat evaporated all of his kind. Aquaticus was instead kept in a small box in his sphere form, no water or oxygen around for him to create a body, only enough for him to survive. When he was 15 years old, he saw light for the first time since his birth and his master, Lord T'Har, a "Private Military" Executive - a Warlord would make him use his abilities to gather intel on the competition. Aquaticus was used as a tool of infiltration, stealing intelligence from enemies of T'Har, slipping in and out unnoticed.

That was his life for a very long time, getting let out just to steal something before being sealed back up into a vacuum where he was restricted to his most basic form. He got very good at infiltration and whenever he got caught, he fought his way back to T'Har. Like a loyal dog he served the will of the only family he had ever known, despite feeling a deep depression.

Things changed when T'Har's Empire was crumbled and Aquaticus was set free, roaming the galaxy as a vagabond, picking up work where he could. A ronin, a tool without a master. That is, till one Enhanced Otter got into a bar-brawl and the gentle Water Giant aided the earthern creature. The two would soon become thick and thieves and Aquaticus would follow along Slipstream with all of his schemes, finding a joy in his life he had never felt with T'Har. Now, they are heading to their biggest adventure yet - to Slip's home.

| S T O R Y L I N E S: |

Ditto to SlipStream's Sheet.

Dealing with the fallout of T'Har's men who are coming to find Aquaticus.

| M I S C. N O T E S: |

Has quite the speech impediment - always did, struggles to put together long sentences and as such is usually quiet, if he speaks he does so in few words, not always cohesive.

Partnered with Slipstream for the past year, he sees the little fella as a partner more so than a Master, even if the distinguishing the difference is difficult for him.

Finished. Could polish it more, probably won't.
