I'm loving this so far! Everyone actually knows how to write, in my opinion. :3 if anyone wants any interaction with Ronan, whether it is to calm him from his impending panic attack, or to make fun, just write it and I'll respond. x)

Francis might try, but he does look a demon. Oh wait, he is.
"I'm not bad. I never had been. I just have a demon clawing its way out into the world and when it does it ---The world will be on its knees, begging for their pathetic little lives. - Michael/Parasyte
Name:
Michael Roman Stelmach
Alias:
Parasyte
Age:
26 by appearance.
Gender:
Male
Sexual Orientation:
Heterosexual
Appearance:
He stands at 6'3 and at 180lbs with a slender toned and athletic build. He used to where a lot of T-shirts and shorts but thanks to the accident he now usually bundles up, including gloves and hoodies to avoid skin contact. He is quite pale, board lining grey, possibly due to the meltdown. His eyes are slightly sunken in and are grey around them with bright amber eyes. His body has kept the same pigmentation for the most part. It lingers with a light hue of black while his veins are of red and purple colour. Michael's body is also of a viscous nature, allowing parts of skin to peel away and attach itself to other things or beings, both animal and human alike .
Mutation:
The Chernobyl Accident of 1986 left his body severely mutated. His body could adapt to the major radiation in the area as seen when he awoken right next to the destroyed reactor. He is able to handle extreme cold and hot temperatures though to what degree he doesn't know. Michael is capable of seeing clearly in pitch blackness as his eyes have gained enhanced sight. However that was not the only thing that had been enhanced. Strength, speed, agility, endurance and durability had also drastically increased. He has shown the ability to latch onto the sides of buildings and structures and sprint up them as if gravity had no play. The mutation has also left him with a regenerative capability but he is unsure of its potential, seeing as how when parts of him are peeled away, they regenerate just as fast.
He wants to believe that there is more to him but he hasn't seen the proof.
Personality:
He keeps to himself for the most part, knowing that any contact could result tragically. He normally is quite a patient individual but as of late the mutation had started to effect his personality, resulting in signs of bipolar anger, schizophrenia, and sadistic tendencies, fighting for control from this demon, this "Parasyte" that resides in him. He hopes to get it under control before he loses himself, consumed by it.
Bio:
Born and raised in Ukraine in the 60s, he was a farmer like his father until the age of 18 in which he joined the military. After doing his years in the military and college he managed to get a job at the Chernobyl Nuclear plant as a nuclear engineer. He worked there until 1986, when the plant had a meltdown. He remained while others evacuated and helped many out and away from the reactor before the eruption when he was hit with more radiation than anyone should be able to handle. The initial wave of radiation activated his dormant X-gene but the second wave overloaded him and his body shutdown. It wasn't until years later did he awake from his slumber, confused and scared, remembering the last thing being a loud bang and then darkness.
@FallenTrinity All right. So there are a few issues, most of which being that we are supposed to be going for almost entirely untrained mutants right now. Basically everyone is supposed to be very unrefined and untrained, and I don't want your guy to be too far ahead of everyone else. I know that you could write him so that he isn't, but I am concerned about the fact that he is so old. I feel that his age will make it difficult to justify his being unrefined or untrained. Also, I was just wondering if there is any chance to stop the process of conversion, as well as if there is any way to reverse it. Do the shades, per se, classify as a living being still? Lastly, were you thinking that this guy had a mutant gene that was activated by the radiation, or was it just lucky that he survived and he mutated by consequence? Yep! That's all :) Lemme know about those three things and we should be good. This doesn't necessarily mean that you need to change anything, so long as you are able to accept his being at a base level, where he is relatively unrefined and trained, as like Prudence said, the sky is the limit! Thanks!
Mutant gene activated by the radiation is what I was going for. Now for his abilities and what not I could make it so that he has amnesia or that he had just been laying there unconscious all this time, considering NO ONE is actually allowed to visit the site it would make sense and considering it was a reactor meltdown and he was beside it, the initial wave activated it, the second killed him but his regenerative ability brought him back but it took a LONG time?
The first paragraph of the mutation could stay but the rest is dormant (trainable?)
I would stay away from amnesia, as that is too reminiscent of a certain regenerating X-men, but other than that, your options sound fine. I just want to make sure that no one is supremely above anyone else's level when we start out :) Personally, I believe that the dormant or trainable aspect sounds good. Everyone so far seems to have some potential that is locked away. I like that idea quite a lot. Make that revision, and you are good to post in the character sheet tab, and make your first post :)
@FallenTrinity You might just have to find a work around for that one ;) Yeah you can write that he brings a translator, or maybe even talk to the Omnilingual of our group about using her involvement, but yeah.
