Player nick: Milo
Name: Nahoizi Taraumai
Codename: Flubber
DoB/Age: 17 (Fake ID says 22)
Powers:
* Squash n Stretch -- Flubber's body is basically, like flubber. Inside his organs have mutated as this strange material, being rubbery but solid. His blood flow is more liquid-like and even in 'normal' form he would bleed green goo. His 'normal' appearance is caused by a unique pigmentation effect, as is his hair, which seems to be a colored 'dry' form of the flubber. Due to this he has gained strange effects with his body, resulting in the ability to bounce with more energy then he originally started with. Unfortunately Flubber can't quite control it all the time. He can squash and stretch himself, moving like a fluid but remaining in a solid-goo state that is green and transparent the more he stretches, or all together for maximum mobility. He can make holes in himself for items to pass through or even embed objects. Because of this, he's extremely bouncy and durable, able to bend and bounce, ricocheting off walls and even acting like rubber to sling objects. He can contort his form and spread it thin, but only as far as his body mass allows, so he cannot grow nor shrink. Thinness can result in over-stretch, and any of that and tears or holes are horrible wounds and friction burns when he's his normal form. As his goo form, he can take on any shape in his size-range, like a Jell-O mould.
* Weakness -- Where he can't absorb water and liquids, powders are dangerous. His form can absorb them and become hard to move when in his flubber state, and will only become normal again once he 'washes out' fully with water. There's also the worry of over-stretch, holes, and tears. He is durable but not indestructible and often gets 'burns' from his own movements. He suffers from ashy skin and in this form is highly vulnerable to salt burnings and being frozen by others with ice abilities.
Skills & Hobbies:
* Swimming -- Flubber is a great swimmer and can't get enough of the water. Though, he usually oils himself down before hopping into the pool and in the shower regularly.
* Sports and Rock Climbing -- He's a sports freak, loving to play the games since he hardly gets hurt due to contortion. He's also a huge fan of rock climbing, having only ever gotten to go once he'd love for the shot to do it again.
* l'art du déplacement -- Parkour. It is a physical art of French origin, the aim of which is to move from point A to point B as efficiently and quickly as possible, using principally the abilities of the human body. It is meant to help one overcome obstacles, which can be anything in the surrounding environment — from branches and rocks to rails and concrete walls — so parkour can be practiced in both rural and urban areas. Male parkour practitioners are recognized as traceurs and female as traceuses.
* Hunting/Spear -- Flubber is skilled with a spear, a bow and arrows, and a normal knife when it comes to the ways of hunting. He also has a unique way of grappling and using rope and the environment to his advantage when weapons are not at hand, just as a warrior should.
Background/History: He was once a normal kid, growing up in Africa of the Kayama Tribe. There he played sports, went hunting, and was in training to become a warrior for his village. His mother, Naomi, died after giving birth to his little sister, Muni. His father Mohatzu was stuck raising the two on his own. All went well until poachers came to their village one day. There were three groups and over an albino lion in the area, they started a war with one another and took the village down with it. Materials and resources grew rare and in order to gain them and trade for money, the villagers become divided and took up sides with the different groups of poachers. In the Kayama tribe, those who were mutants were seen as gifted and thus called The Chosen. Within a year the once peaceful village was a warzone. That albino lion seemingly vanished from the land, leaving no tracks or even a scent. With so much money wasted, the poachers then banded together and found a way to make a profit. Already having the villagers working for them, they offered further payment and prosperity in order to send their "Chosen" people to the states for education and training. The village was in such desperate need after their own greed tore them apart that families split up, saying goodbye and allowing themselves to become divided, so those few could have the chance at a better life. Nahoizi and his sister were among them.
Rather then being treated to an education, they were treated to slavery. Siblings and cousins were torn from one another, sold in the underground as slaves, fighters, and dogs. Their powers made them valued and their lack of knowledge and understanding of this world compared to home made them easily manipulated. Nahoizi was separated from his sister in the trade, him sold and her not. To his knowledge they were separated because of age and gender. He had been told they would be together, and promised his father he would look after her. Muni was crying and Nahoizi went berserk with rage as he was torn from her arms. He packed a punch, form twisting and stretching to his needs as he tried to break free from the men carrying him off. A hard hit over the head however made the world grow black.
He woke in a room, walls vibrating and metal floor ridged, not recognizing it to be a truck on the move. Immediately he went ramming into the doors. The driver became so distracted along with his partner that they were both screaming through the small cargo window, turning back to see what was coming of Nahoizi trying to break free. Distracted, they never saw the semi full of logs coming their way. A swerve sent the truck off course to avoid the hit and Nahoizi hit the doors. They swung open and hands bound behind his back, he went falling as the doors slammed shut behind him. The truck went down the roadside into the woods. Nahoizi was unconscious in a ditch, but he had escaped the path of being a dog in an arena.
Later he was found and picked up by a man by the name of John Berkly, a worker from a group home for troubled youth. John took Nahoizi back to the home after seeing no serious wounds. He called around, trying to find someone who could tell him about Nahoizi, mainly to see if he was missing. For a week the youth stayed at the home, bewildered and thinking this is where he should have been. Nahoizi spoke decent English thanks to his father and the dealings with the poachers, although he was naïve and oblivious to the meanings of certain words and phrases. John called around, going by what little information Nahoizi could give him. For a week Nahoizi stayed there and grew to learn he was in a city, as well as the ways of Parkour in getting around in the city. However his powers and his story were too much for John to deal with. Not wanting Nahoizi to get lost in the government system, he called an old school mate for some help on the matter.
