Ariana GreyName: Dai Suwind
Alias: Bulk Lad
Age - 19
Powers/Primary Skills - Dai possesses the unique metabolism and body type of his Glucona people. Dai’s major organs, skin, and even jaw are elastic. So with his powers Dai can consume anything upwards of numerous feet tall or long, edible or inedible for normal people. When Dai eats his body can very rapidly fatten up. Going from a fit, albeit lean form, to a gigantic obese like size. When Dai does this his endurance, strength, and durability greatly increase the bigger he goes.
Weaknesses - Although Dai’s power grows the bigger he becomes, Dai’s mobility and speed likewise decrease. At his biggest (6‘9 and around 2 tons) he can barely move but is basically a living wall. Also while his body grows quickly the more he consumes, it can take him upwards of a few hours to shrink back to normal.
Appearance -
Brief Bio - Glucona was a once unoccupied planet that was discovered by Earth’s Japanese astronauts when they began heavily searching the galaxy for a second home. The planet’s atmosphere caused a biological evolutionary change in these early people. By the second generation children seemingly rapidly gained and lost weight. As time progressed the weight gained and lost grew to the point these days when its not unheard of for a Gluconian to gain and lose upwards of 800 pounds in a day. Still, these people retain bit of their Japanese heritage in eyes, naming, and general height.
Even still some Gluconians found themselves with special genes that allowed for more room to digest and grow, as well as the rare case of being able to digest inedible food. Such as the case with Dai Suwind, a young man who always seemed to have a smile on his face. Growing up Dai was able to grow in weight and size much bigger than other kids, and developed a peculiar appetite for iron. He adored the Legion of Superheroes as kids, one of his prized possessions being an autograph by Cosmic Boy. When the group was destroyed by Brainiac 5 however Dai was devastated. It was one of the very few times Dai ever cried when he heard the news.
Growing up Dai Suwind wound up becoming an athlete in his own right. Trained in the Glucona national sport of Hypersu. The planet’s take on the tradiational Japanese sport of sumo wrestling. Only instead of simply taking your opponent off his feet, it plays out more akin to amateur and even professional wrestling. Requiring a pinning of your opponent’s shoulders to the mat for a three count. Dai Suwind’s unique physiology gave him an advantage but it was his technical skill that garnered him some of the highest honors in the sport.
Notes -
- Glucona is like its ancestors in being a very technology forward planet. Cities are massive and covered in massive video ad screens, and its considered a basic for civilians on the planet to know their way around tech. Dai lives up to that end of the bargain, and has skills with devices and even ships.
- Dai's skills in hypersu are a combination of palm strikes, kicks, takedowns, and grappling. In a typical bout, the competitors are given time to not only warm up but bulk up before their bouts. They are not allowed to see or know their competitor's size until the two are in the middle of the large circle based mat. Force fields keep the competitors enclosed while still providing a great view for the crowd. Although some do wear the classic muwashi of sumo. Most stick with very elastic singlets or in Dai's case, compression shorts. All however do wear robes to the ring. It is considered a big moment in a match up when the robes come off at the same time to finally show just how big the competitors are.
- The goggles are not just because Dai thinks they make him look cool. Dai has eye issues and has always needed to wear glasses. Even when he competed in hypersu (He was the first competitor to do so).
