Description EDIT ~ This got fourth place in the contest xD so it will get a minor role in his spin off. I think i would have done better if this guy's mutation actualy changed as a pose to stayed mutated. nevermind xD

This is for a contest at to design a mutant type character for a villainous group that could appear in the manga's spin off ark.

DEADLINE: JAN 2012

So if you can't read the writing because it's small or just bad, here is the description again:

BASIC DESCRIPTION/BACK STORY

He was previously a gymnast and athlete for his region with his brother. In a bid to become better than his brother, arrogance and naiivity led him to scientists who promised success through experimentation. They played with Nairyoku in ways no one had dared. His brother caught wind of the scheme and tried to stop him half way through a series of testing when an accident occured killing all the scientists and his brother leaving him with mutations and a horrible sense of guilt and regret. With no where to go, no career, no family and no friends, Vorrent took him in and gave him a reason to live.... to kill.
Suction Pads on his feet allow him to climb and hang from any angle getting him into the optimal stealthy position for the most effective, one hit, one kill combo, and then a very quick exit.
Webbed arms allow him to glide at ridiculous speeds entering and leaving scenes before anyone noticed they happened.
Accident also left him blind, but instead can see nairyoku.

MORE INFO ON MUTANT ABILITIES

Blind/nairyoku stained eyes - Can see nairyoku which allows him to make out people. the stronger the opponent the clearer he can see them. also he can see pulses and charges of nairyoku allowing him to predict people's movements about a 0.5-1 seconds before they happen.

Suction Pads on Feet - infinite grip and speed as he uses them almost like boosters. Aids in his acrobatic free running capabilities. Most interesting sub skill from his feet is that the liquid that ooze out of his feet stain that place that allows him to see objects and buildings (otherwise he can't see them and then relies on the tiny nairyoku presence in insects and plants to see things)

Webbed Arms - primarily allows him to glide but he can also use it as a shield and even as a weapon to suffocate people (imagine him standing on the ceiling and lifting people up by their face using his webbing!)

COMBAT ABILITIES

Long Range - As seen on far right side of this design, he equips a foldable sniper but only for long travels, hunting and when the client needs to be dealt with as well.

Medium Range - He always has darts strapped to his leg. He doesn't need to use them often but sometimes there is a need for explosive, poison, flash/stun and tracker darts.

Close Range - This is his speciality. His close combat fighting has almost no parrellel. When this guys up in your face with his legs roundhouse kicking you from a wall then upper cutting you out a window and below you land he has glided down and given you a fist for a safety cushion, it sucks to be you. He is super acrobatic doing flips and free running so that in his fighting career he has never ever been hit and has never failed to kill someone within his first confrontation. He is mainly very stealthy and very quiet so all out fist fighting doesn't happen often because they usually don't actually know who they're fighting.

yeah basically he is super fast, super stealthy, and super lethal.

though he does have some weaknesses

- He does have way to help him self out like with the liquid from his feet but he is essentially blind. inanimate objects, if not tainted by nairyoku before, will be invisible to him. he'll have to rely on his other slightly heightened sense to struggle to get out of a sticky situation (this rarely happens because he always attacks first and when he attacks, he always goes for the 1 hit 1 kill so nothing usually comes back at him)
- Due to never ever being hit before, if it ever happens, it'll damage him greatly and will probably force him to escape. if you get them chance to hit him, use them same tactic as him; go for a 1 hit 1 kill.
- he is very attached to vorrent. Vorrent reminds him of his late brother and therefore is very very loyal to vorrent to the point he can be manipulated and is dependant.

that's bascially (lol bascially) it!!

i hope you liiike!!

please comment below tell me what you thiiink!!

SpiralPenguin [2011-11-29 00:02:44 +0000 UTC]

Awesome design!!
He has a nice range of weaponry and gear without it seeming too overwhelming and his powers are unique and simple.
He seems to me like he'd be best suited for underwater environments which only adds to his whole sneaky ninja vibe!
Definitely a lot of thought put into this character and it shows in a lot of ways, from his movement to his backstory!
Great work!

Rivalhopeso In reply to SpiralPenguin [2011-11-29 00:19:53 +0000 UTC]

apart from the lack of gills, with a fashionable snorkle, id agree hed be awesome underwater xD. i kinda thought he'd be best in deserts though. i mean maybe not so much his feet or webbing but deserts are quite flat mostly and there isn't much living. so if something were alive, he'd easliy spot it with his eyes, and with his speed they'd be screwed lol. but thanks a lot for such a great comment look out for my poster piece for this character that should be coming next week i think.

I thought he looked cool before! Helmet/mask and cloak and BAM even cooler!

I like the thought and explanations put into each of his mutations, and his backstory makes a lot of sense.

Rivalhopeso In reply to Doodlebotbop [2011-11-28 19:18:41 +0000 UTC]

loool xD

thanks man. yeah rather than him having transforming mutations, i thought i'd leave them more as disfurgements that he hides and then reveals when he needs them if you know what i mean.

thanks for the comment xDD

Doodlebotbop In reply to Rivalhopeso [2011-11-28 19:21:53 +0000 UTC]

I like the needing to be hidden ones, I think i might have gone a little overboard one the 'hidden until activated' kinds.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Rivalhopeso In reply to Doodlebotbop [2011-11-28 19:27:42 +0000 UTC]

NOOO the activated ones are cool too i just thought for my guy it would suit better coz he is a secretive guy and very stealthy and coz he obviously doesn't wan tto be seen liek that, it makes him more stealthy and only use it when he's sure that person wil never seen him again (coz theyre dead lol). he used to be very arrogant but now he's quite paranoid and scared. yeah

Doodlebotbop In reply to Rivalhopeso [2011-11-28 19:30:29 +0000 UTC]

How do you think he would react to my mutants?

Juditha's a little scardy cat child. Gault's kind of out-of-it sometimes but gives good advice and is chill. Engeltje has really subdued emotions but takes care of others.

He as in your character.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Rivalhopeso In reply to Doodlebotbop [2011-11-29 00:27:52 +0000 UTC]

it depends if they're hostile or not. he's pretty sinister and rather quite but every now and again his old self comes out and he'll say something kinda arrogant. Since he's never been hit he genuinely believes he can't be killed by another living being. He'd probably ignore all characters apart from Vorrent who is the only guy who he couldn't kill. lol though if my character gets second place, he probabaly wouldnt accept that the main dude is stronger than him xD just how id be lololol

what about your characters?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Doodlebotbop In reply to Rivalhopeso [2011-11-29 01:42:20 +0000 UTC]

Well Gault would probably try to strike up banter with him for kicks and giggles, and run off if he's in danger of being attacked. Engeltje would try to stop him if she saw him attack someone else. Other than that she would just look after his needs and she would everyone else. And Juditha would probably be scared of him and hide every time he passes by.
