Name: Anom
Age: 40
Gender: Male
Race: Once human. Now his body is artificially created.
Appearance: Almost always seen wearing armor inspired by
this without the thorns, skirt, and cape, and minor cosmetic differences. There’s two openings on the sides of both his upper arms, forearms, and calves, as well as one where his heart should be and two where wings would be if he had any. The face can open up as well. These openings look like luminescent whiteness that can be covered up by armor plating. He stands at an intimidating eight feet tall.
Outside of his armor he looks like a humanoid male but with everything made out of the same material as his armor. He can still flex like normal humans, however.
Abilities/PowersHis powers are all granted by his suit and what the suit did to his body.
Physical Abilities- He has enhanced strength and his durability is obviously top notch, having his entire body made out of armor that’s located inside a bulky suit of armor. He can run fast for how bulky he is, at 25 miles per hour tops, but speed is his least impressive stat. He doesn’t seem to run out of stamina normally but if he’s using his special energy (glowing white that can be seen within the holes) a lot then he could become sluggish over time. His suit may even shut down, then he could lose consciousness himself if he keeps loosing energy.
His senses seem fake to him. Sure he can recognize things, able to tell the difference between tea and coffee, but it’s definitely a muted and hollow feeling. He can’t tell subtle changes in texture, smell, flavor, but he can see at 20/20 (with a dull color tone) and can hear normal volumes, albeit echo-y sounding. He doesn’t feel pain but his sense of touch can reveal if something is attacking him really hard.
He doesn’t need to eat or breath to sustain his life but he does to regain energy.
Absorption- His armor can absorb things and break it down as long as it’s not super durable, in which case he might have to spit it back out but he seldom has this problem. Usually he can absorb almost anything given enough time within the gaping hole in his face. It behaves kind of like a black hole, able to stretch and pull in objects that get close enough to it, although things can escape with enough force and are not harmed by the stretching, only harmed if they were being absorbed as if in acid.
Despite saying he can get energy by absolving this way, tough things actually cost him quite a bit of energy so he might drain himself trying to take in something as large as a jet liner or a superpowered object. Basically, it’s by no means efficient enough to pull off as a primary attack. Even while eating he prefers liquids but of course can eat normally, just not gaining as much energy.
Once something is absorbed he can copy it (see more information in power below). For most non-biological objects he’d have to take pretty much it all in to get a good enough picture to copy, but for living beings with, say, DNA, absorbing just some DNA would give him enough of a blueprint to be able to copy.
Object Copy- The holes in his armor can spring forth things that his armor has absorbed through it’s mouth like a reverse of his absorbing, stretching out of the holes as glowing white energy swirls around it. Whatever comes out retains the shape but looks as if made from the same material as his armor. Like his own body's armor skin they can retain flexibility if that was a quality the object possessed. Most other qualities are unable to be carried over. He cannot create life. If he copies a cat, what comes out is merely an imitation.
He can send out copies of things as large as a broadsword within three seconds with the exact amount of time scaled based on size. However, he can never seem to get faster than half a second for things even as small as a bug. The largest copy he has produced is around elephant sized.
He can also send out globs of goop (still looking like his armor) out of the holes. This can provide extra defense or swallow people up like super thick molasses. This sort of ignores how he can’t copy an object under half a second because he can continually have this stuff flood out, but it’s not super fast either.
Things he copies can retain their shape as long as he wills it, but leave his relative proximity and they melt into nothingness. He can keep them active around the length of three football stadiums.
Control- He can control his suit of armor and things he produces as if telekinetic. He has good enough control to float around six weapons in the air and wield them as if a halfway decent fighter while still keeping track of himself, but this is where things begin to strain him. He can move things as fast as an arrow if he builds up momentum for it.
Soul Transfer- His soul can inhabit copies as if his own body. This tires him out if used repeatedly and his body can no longer move while doing so.
EquipmentHis armor, obviously, and the things he can copy. He has plenty of different types of weapons already absorbed so can be copied. He has other practical objects absorbed as well.
BackstoryHe was once a normal human adventurer when he came across a dormant suit of armor. The armor must have somehow sensed him and opened up it’s mouth, absorbing not only his body but also his soul! This allowed a copy of himself to be created that his soul was transferred into. The armor is considered no more alive than a virus, and is thus not evil for killing his original body and absorbing his soul to boot. He considers the armor a dangerous, uncaring thing that he needs to keep in check by wearing it so someone else might not stumble across it and be absorbed like he was.
Why not get rid of it where nobody could find it? He was stuck in the suit for over a year before he managed to gain enough control to take it off, and by that point he realized he could put it to good use just so long as he’s careful. The armor has made no attempt to absorb someone else as long as he’s in it, and that’s good enough for him.
