Wallclimbing: Able to run up & balence on walls. Limit: Walls must have a texture (ie can use brick, but not smooth, like glass).
Cameleonic: Able to darken skin & hair to match shadows. Limit: Must concentrate, only in darkness / shadows

Flaw: Rage As he suffers pain, he becomes more and more feral, untill he is incapable of coherant thought. In this state, he will think of nothing but feeding on fresh meat until he has eaten enough and absorbed enough haemoglobin to heal himself.

    Race: British

    Build: Slight. "He's rangy, skinny looking. But there is alot of power in there... its as if his body is a knuckle... tough and able to pack a punch."

    Distinguishing Characteristics: Pointed ears (generally hidden under a hat), slightly elongated canines (caused by his time under the effect of the Rage), heavily scarred hands, forearms and torso. Wears fingerless gloves to cover hands. Very scruffily dressed.

Personality:

    Strengths: Straight-forward thinker. Given a physical problem, he is generally able to come up with a (often simple) solution. He is Loyal once befriended ( this isnt an easy task!), sticks by people he trusts. Has a good sense of humour, but doesnt appreciate any form a joke involving mutants. Can be honest when it takes his fancy. Doesnt mince words.. says what he thinks.

    Weaknesses: Emotioinally cold. Fierce Temper - controlled but when in pain becomes volitile. Fidgits when nervous / doesnt understand. often takes form of shuffling a pack of cards. Not very subtle. Bright Light on his face causes him pain. Mildly claustrophobic.

    Likes: Shadows / darkness, cold water swimming, loud music (any type), swordfighting, anything that requires the use of his hands (fixing cars, building things, scrubbing tiles...) playing cards (carries a battered deck as often as he can)

    Dislikes: "Perfect Humans" (ie, beutifal people... Models, TV Stars etc), Bright Light, Vegetarian Food, eing Bored, Confined Spaces (only if he is unable to move... for example, he doesnt like being in a cupboard, but being in a vent is fine, as he can crawl around).

Family: Unknown

Education: Not alot.. Can read (but not big words), can't write.

Background: Abandoned at birth, he was picked up by a street gang. It was because of his skills that they didnt beat him. He was able to crawl thru vents / sewers into warehouses, offices etc, then use his knack with machinery to disable alarms and dispose of any security guards. This meant the gang treated him as a favoured pet. During a heist on a warehouse, part of the building caught fire. The gang fled the scene, leaving him disorientated (bright flames). As he managed to escape, the Police set about him, beating him down. Succuming to the Rage, he fought his way clear. He travelled the forests and mountains, living by killing livestock and feasting on them. He was found by Dr Markus Marillion, a genetic scientist. Dr Marillion nursed him back to health (& coherant thought). Martyn soon got bored of Dr Marillion's poking and prodding and soon left. He spent the next few years as a hired fighter, from breaking into safehouses to eliminating officials, he made a living from crime.
Recently he has travelled the globe, fighting from one place to the next. He found Esoteric after following some of its members back to the house. Seeing this haven away from all the humans that hate his kind, and seeing how happy people seem to be, he thought it had to be worth a try; who knows, he might even learn to control the Rage...

Other: Very good (if unorthidox & sometimes dirty) fighter, when angered his control of his powers gets better (if more violent). He is able to squeeze into small gaps by dislocating / breaking bones then regenerating them once he is in more space. He has no qualms about breaking laws providing there is a legitamate reason.

Notes: Althought he puts out a tough front, his dream is to basically be part of a group. This is because he hasnt ever had any friends. The gang treated him as a pet, Dr Marillion treated him as a specimin, people that had heard of him feared him and everyone else tryed to kill him. He also has no way of dealing with emotions, instead bottling them up. He has excellent manners (opening doors, helping people) when he has a mind to. He is however, ashamed of the Rage and how it effects him. His hatred for what he is and how it effects him often sends him into bouts of depression.
