Name: Bob the Hyper-butterfly
Age: 27
Gender: (Identifies as) Male
Appearance: Bob is tall (about 3 metres), has an insectoid body with compound eyes and two long antennae on his head. He has a human nose and mouth, but those are purely cosmetic. Several multicoloured energy fields shaped like butterfly wings extend from his back, with the largest "pair" about one metre wide. They change colour constantly.
Canon, AU, or OC?: OC
Universe of Origin: Original setting
Personality: Bob is optimistic and friendly, and strives to help others as much as possible within his capabilities. He enjoys research, exploring and discovering new things. He believes in being prepared for any eventuality, and has prepared a cache in his house with various items he might need, ranging from rope and a flashlight to spare pens and notepads. At times, he can be nosy and occasionally pry too much into others' private business, but this is more a result of not fully understanding why they prefer to keep those things to themselves. Not being human himself, he finds people fascinating and often observes their interactions with interest.
Abilities/Weapons:
-As a hyper-butterfly, Bob survives off sunlight and radiation (in outer space), removing the need for air, food or water.
-He can open small portals to any location he is familiar with using his wings; he usually uses it to retrieve items he needs at that time from a cache in his house. With practice he could open larger portals, but he has not considered this yet.
-Bob's wings also allow him some control over matter and entropy. This includes affecting intermolecular bonds, altering phase states of various substances and "rewinding" the physical state of objects. However, he needs line of sight in order to do these, and he cannot affect living things (except himself). Also, he can only "rewind" an object to its state from a few seconds ago. He has less experience with this aspect of his powers, only using them to speak (by vibrating air molecules).
Backstory: Bob's home planet had a human majority and a small population of hyper-butterflies. As a child, he looked human and was adopted by human parents. He made friends easily in school until his insect-like features and powers began to manifest, which caused most people to shun him. After graduating, he joined a research institute studying their abilities. His mentor thought that the hyper-butterflies' powers made use of parallel universes, and enlisted Bob's help in opening a portal to an alternate reality. Instead, they found the multiverse.
