  Lunar Battery

  Brute 8 | Mover 4 | Blaster 7

  Lynne possesses the ability to absorb energy from the light reflected off the moon, making her stronger, faster, more durable, able to fly and heal far more quickly than normal. She can also harness this power to fire lunar blasts from her eyes and fists. She must periodically bathe in the light of the moon to recharge herself, and overuse or severe enough injury can render her fully powerless in some circumstances.

  Lynne Aster is the Earth-given name of Zunzumai az'Mani, alien child of Europa sent to Earth by her mothers when she was very young. Anthropologist and pilgrim both, her role was to grow among the natives of this neighboring world in the solar system, learning of its people and cultures before returning back to her homeworld to educate her own people on the life of this distant blue dot. She was placed inside a shuttle, barely old enough to walk, and set adrift toward her destination, falling to ground in the California mountains where she was found and taken in by locals on a hunting trip.
  
  Unsure of what to make of this odd child who seemed to glow at night, she was ultimately taken in by one of the men, an older gentleman who lived alone and decided a new granddaughter might make for pleasant company. She had a decidedly ordinary human childhood, attending school like any other kid, having largely forgotten her origins or scholarly mission, though her grandpa did make a point to keep her educated on the subject as she entered her teenage years and her abilities began to more fully express themselves.
  
  Despite her mothers' intentions for her, however, Lynne has little to no inclination to leave the planet at present - not that she would have much ease of doing so regardless. She currently finds work as an acquirer for eccentric book collectors, traveling the world in search of rare and valuable pieces for her clients. It gives her a chance to see new places, meet new people, and sate her insatiable lust for new information and experiences. Though this occasionally brings her into trouble which might necessitate the use of some small amount of force, she's nonetheless been able up til now to maintain her privacy, thanks to her keen sense of discretion and snappy fashion sense.

  ✖|| Clothing Attire ||✖​
  His attire normally consists of a white dress shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbows, left halfway buttoned and red suspenders that supported his black pants and a pair of red high top sneakers. He frequently wears a lab coat hiding dozens of pockets above all this, with rolled up sleeves as well. Generally though, Kiran has a wide taste in fashion and tends to dress in a manner that either helps make them the center of attention or allows them to go about completely unnoticed.
  The cloth is made from Graphene infused Dragline silk from a mutated variant of the Darwin's bark spider. Layered together with a kinetic reactive impact gel between.
  Effectively making most if not all of Kiran’s cloths a form of body armor in some fashion.

  PERSONALITY
  Moody / Attention Seeking / Vicious / Calculated / Playful​

  ---

  
  Despite Kiran's childish and playful demeanor, he is extremely violent and arguably disturbed. He does whatever he likes as long as it pleases him in some way. With his largely amoral mindset, lack of any aversion to killing, and even giggled and smiled in excitement when committing heinous acts. He easily resists moralistic attempts to limit his creativity in his various projects. Being disturbingly cheerful partially due to his psyche and heavy substance abuse, Kiran is just as liable to laugh and joke with someone one moment as to carve them up the second.
  
  To top it all off he can be quite narcissistic and loves to be the center of attention in any situation. Kiran is essentially a murderous sociopath. While he does like some people, he has stated that for him, what could be valuable one day could easily become trash the next, and he will not hesitate to kill anyone should they not continue to be useful in some way. He claims that he does not care for what has happened in the past, as he is only interested in what could be amusing to him in the future or present. But he is still haunted by his past in more ways than one.
  
  Days where he remembers it more leaves him quite melancholic and even depressed. While Kiran's nature tends to appear malevolent, he isn't an indiscriminate killer. He has no problems killing anyone regardless of age or sex. However, he only kills people who are in his way.
  
  Above all else, Kiran cares only about having fun and the continuation of his experiments, which may or may not involve killing people on a daily to weekly basis. He also can be a whimsical liar and has a tendency to freak out or play cruel jokes on his victims. Just witnessing their uncomfortable expressions because of him getting under their skin pleases him. His chaotic nature is inherent in everything he does and makes him dangerously unpredictable. Oddly enough he seems to refuse the idea of cheating in any sort of legitimate game even if it could make him win easily. though that doesn't exempt him from being a sore loser.

  BACKSTORY
  
  Have you ever wanted to be really smart? Get perfect grades, ace every test, and even hand pick your college? Life would just be easier if you were born a genius right. Right? Kiran never Initially wanted to be a genius. But he couldn't help how his mind worked. It came at no surprise that he was as smart as he was when he scored so high on his first IQ test. His father being A math professor at A local college and his mother being A well known surgeon. His parents quickly went to work. Helping him skip a few grades in school and planning out the next years of his life. It was safe to say that Kiran never got to have A real childhood. Every day there were tests and quiz's. between the private schooling, tutors, and piles of books and homework, it was a miracle how the boy ever got any time to himself. Somehow he managed. Tucking away any hints of frustration that crept into his mind. His hard work had payed off though. Having had been accepted into Harvard's medical Program right out of High school. But it wasn't enough for his parents. So began the pre-med and college classes.
  
  College had turned out to be A blessing for the young man. He finally had more time to himself, time to make friends and even relax. Taking a liking to the many books in the library. Fiction had become sort of a fascination for him very early in the year, sparking a thought in his mind. one that he had never quite considered till now. What did he want to do with his life? couldn't he do whatever he pleased and not be just another overly smart student that became a doctor? Why couldn't Kiran try his hand at other courses, or even take some time to travel abroad? wouldn't it be healthy for him to expand his horizons? His wishes fell on deaf ears. Kiran's mother cried as his father screamed at him. Calling him selfish for just throwing away everything that they had done for him. Shoving his son away and saying five words that Kiran had been hearing almost all his life. "You could have done better."​

  Suddenly, something inside Kiran seemed to have . . . clicked. Before even realizing what he was about to do, all Kiran could see was the look of fear in his fathers eyes as those four words echoed in his head. The bodies of his parents were found in the burnt remains of the family home. Kiran was never suspected of a single crime.
  
  Kiran would go on to become a doctor, but on his own terms. In fact he became so widely famous in his skill and surgical talents that he was often called on to help work on injured supers and save hero's in critical states. He had a flawless track record and was well off from the handsome funds he received for his work. He traveled often and rubbed shoulders with Quite literally some of the world's most powerful people for a time. Then came the day that broke Kiran Kinsley and gave birth to the horror that would be known as Lab Rat.
  It was another call, nothing new. One of the worlds most beloved supers at the time had their spine damaged and needed to be operated on immediately. Kiran was even teleported to the hospital by another super to not waste so much as a moment. Time slowed to a crawl for Kiran during those hours. He almost seemed to be in a trance while he worked. After ten hours he thought it was finally over, then he sneezed. it was so sudden, nobody could have expected it. But that is all it took for what was the end of a long operation to be botched. The hero's spinal cord was severed completely. His mistake got a hero beloved by everyone killed.
  
  The media condemned him, other heroes demanded justice for his mistake. Some accused him of intentionally killing the hero. His own colleagues disowned him as a disgrace of a doctor, his medical license was quickly revoked in the process. The final nail in the coffin came when one spiteful man said five, simple words. "You could have done better."

  The Albino doctor disappeared from the world, but he left a trail of bodies and twisted . . . Things in his wake. Nobody could say for sure where he is. But every time there seems to have been a sighting of him, the stuff of nightmares follows.

  || Periodic Synthesis and Mutagens ||
  Tinker- 8 / Trump - 6
  { Subclass(s): Limit + Resource Tinker / partnering, bonding, gifting Trump }
  Kiran can take Any sort of materials around them, so long as it’s not in an entirely solid state, then transmute and synthesize them together as they wish so long as they are in physical contact with the substances being used and the proper tools. Thus allowing them to make any chemical compound they desire, even ones that don’t seem to exist yet. Effectively having a periodic table of elements vastly larger than that which is present on earth. This allows him to create substances with a wide range of properties, as well as devices to deliver the concoctions. Such properties include but are not limited to highly enhanced physical and mental abilities, accelerated healing and regeneration, or even granting minor powers to someone depending on the kind of drug or mutagen that is made. The drugs come in different forms of liquids, jellies, syrups, or brews. They can also be made into solid form, often pills, powders, and candies.
  Favorite applications include:
  
  • Accelerated Healing
  • Poison and Toxin Creation
  • Biomass fabrication
  • Mutation Inducement
  • Medicine Synthesis
  • Reviving the recently dead
  • Chemically induced body Manipulation
  • Growth Manipulation
  Weakness/drawbacks:
  
  • Unable to create the necessary material to make his chemicals and devices out of nothing, being limited to manipulating already existing ones.
  • Extensive application of drugs leads to drowsiness, possible cellular decay, addiction, and overdose.
  • Most of his Mutagenic drugs require some form of ingestion or injection, and cannot be inhaled through gas or powders.
  
  || Conditional Power: Bio-Creations ||
  Tinker 10+ / Master VARIABLE THREAT
  { Subclass(s): Mad Scientist Tinker / Created minion Master }
  Through years of work, Kiran has branched out from his original Tinker abilities and became a "wet '' tinker of considerable threat. Specializing in creating life-forms, minions, Cloning, and accelerated growth and evolution. He's able to work with plants, fungi, and animals to create weaponized hybrids and organisms possessing a variety of abilities and even deviant powers. It's not uncommon for Kiran to make creatures that are one to one with various beings found throughout human mythology.
  - Methodology: Through the use of genetic templates and cloned "Blanks", Kiran induces mutations in multiple groups until the desired traits manifest. They are then sampled and stored before the harvested clones are reprocessed. This continues in a form of "Shotgun evolution" until entirely new and stable creatures are made. If desired, more clones are made of the finished creature and each are introduced with GIFT to try and have a complimentary Deviant power manifest. The creatures are finalized through augmentations and modifications until everything functions at near peak condition for the creature's intended purpose. Other powers can be spliced in afterwards to make more powerful monsters.
  - The Apex Factor: A work of horrible monstrous art. Kiran creates a bioreactor that overcharges one of their lifeforms systems and cells while all of their present biological functions are also overclocked to create relatively short lived but horrendously powerful monstrosities. What's worse, Glands and bladders filled with mutagens will go to work when the creature is near death to cause all manner of random effects, from violent detonation to even biostability causing the Apex to become a stable creature no longer being killed by its own biology. Additionally, he deliberately makes his Apex creations sterile, for obvious reasons.
  - Weakness/drawbacks:
  
  • New Creatures and templates take time and resources to create.
  • Apex Creatures are nearly impossible to control and are rather unleashed from stasis or holdings.
  • New creatures take time to "break" and make loyal.
  Power Origins: Triggered Tinker and genetically created powers afterwards

  Body Modifications​
  Kiran has completely altered and outfitted himself with a variety of chemical, surgical and mutagenic treatments that have permanently changed his biology to the point that the only part of him that appears human is his outward appearance. Several of Kiran’s organs are replaced with bio-fabrications, specially cultured tissues, or mutated entirely. Many of his organs have had their efficiency increased while their size was able to be scaled down, thus allowing him to cram more augments and organs into his strange body.
  NOTE: Multiple threat levels needed, too adaptive to give set ratings at a given time.
  
  • Enhanced Brain and Spinal Cord: Through careful treatments, the neural cells in Kiran’s spinal cord and neural trunks are encouraged to replicate and lengthen. This provides a wider path for the transmission of impulses and decreases the amount of time required for the signal to traverse the distance. Thus, more information can be sent from and received by the brain in a shorter period of time. By then attaching a highly concentrated growth of gray matter to their brain, Kiran is able to increase the capacity for both their short- and long-term memory. This makes them less likely to forget events or information. This did require more nerve tissue to be added, along with convolutions and gyri (ridges and furrows), into the frontal lobes of the cerebrum. The extra cells and increased surface area improve brain functions. With the use of enhanced neural clusters placed into the motor control centers of the brain, Kiran has forcibly made themselves ambidextrous. Next, modifications were made to the hypothalamus region of Kiran’s brain which regulates body rhythms and numerous hormone-producing glands. These changes in their body and brain chemistry allow for longer periods of wakefulness. The overall effect is that Kiran requires less sleep per day, and the sleep they get tends to be deeper and more restful, with higher dream activity. To top it off, Kiran made their spinal cord elastic to prevent damage from a broken spine or neck.
    - The Cerebral Guard is a tiny gland that was painstakingly perfected to constantly monitor Kiran’s brainwaves, watching for unexpected spikes in activity that indicate mental assault. When mental intrusion is detected, the gland releases proteins that deflect and confuse mental attacks by overloading the chemical receptors that would otherwise respond to the mental attack. Kiran went further with this countermeasure by cultivating a secondary lobe in their brain that can shore up their mental faculties when their mind is compromised due to fending off mental assaults.
  • Augmented Ears: This improved inner ear structure makes Kiran virtually immune to dizziness or motion sickness. The augmentation is further improved with boosts to his ear’s sensitivity to sound, making them able to hear as though ten times closer to the source of a sound. They can even filter out high or low frequencies to pick up on sound outside the normal human range.
  • Altered Pheromone & Sweat Glands: By mutating their sweat glands, Kiran has tailored their scent and pheromones so that they can boost and mask all of their pheromone scents. Simple changes to the exocrine sweat glands changed their scent to be entirely sterile and scent-less at will.
  • The Ultra Cleaner: This organ is implanted within the abdominal cavity and it becomes a part of Kiran’s excretory system, an emergency detoxification organ that allows him to survive exposure through the respiration, tactile contact or ingestion of poisons, toxins and gasses that are too powerful for even his enhanced immune system to normally process without this organ's help. Under normal circumstances, the Ultra Filter also acts as a regulatory organ for his unique physiology, maintaining the efficient action of Kiran’s advanced circulatory system and the proper functioning of his other organs, implanted or natural.
  • Throat Filter: When this is installed, traps and filters are implanted at the top of the trachea just below the larynx. This cluster of specialized tissue absorbs airborne impurities and keeps them from reaching the lungs. Smoke, pollen and dust are easily blocked and expelled with an outgoing breath. Gaseous compounds are rendered inert or less effective through the various chemical reactions performed by the filters. Bacterial-sized impurities are not stopped by the filter.
  • Razer Claws: These retractable, 2.5cm claws are composed of dense chitin layered in natural carbon fibers, sharpened nearly to a monomolecular edge and backed by complex musculature and steel-like tendons. These claws are capable of ripping open Reinforced Steel with ease as well as fatally shredding flesh and bone. They retract behind synthetic fingernail replacements and replace most if not all of Kiran’s fingertip bones in their hands.
  • Unnatural Muscular System: Kiran has specially made Vat-grown synthetic muscle cables that are woven into Their natural muscle fibers. Calcium treatments and skeletal reinforcement are done at the same time. The Muscle system is further reconstructed, the skeletal anchor points of the muscles are relocated further away from the joints for enhanced leverage and strength performance. Corrective bio sculpting during this treatment prevents any sort of "long limbed" appearance. This increases muscle fiber elasticity in existing muscle tension, resulting in increased muscle tension and flexibility while providing a smooth, ropy physique and allows an overall increase in Kiran’s physical strength.
  • Overhauled Respiratory System: Kiran’s lungs are lined with a bio-polymer that enhances oxygen intake and allows it to process airborne toxins or foreign gas mixtures. An average adult's lungs contain approximately 2.5 liters of air. However, the actual tidal volume, the amount of air that enters and leaves the lungs with each breath is only .5 liters. After augmenting the amount of flex in the diaphragm, Kiran has increased the efficiency of gas exchange and enhanced his physical stamina. A third lung was later implanted into Kiran’s pulmonary and circulatory systems. Breathing is accomplished through a sphincter implanted into the trachea, allowing all three lungs to be used at full capacity. By installing a secondary tracheal valve and an external lining striated with oxygen-filtering nodules coats the outside of Kiran’s lungs, they are able to breathe indefinitely in oxygenated water. When breathing in water, it filters into the lining, where the nodules extract the oxygen and deposit it into the lungs. This lets them breathe underwater or in the air. He must still exhale normally.
  • The Mouth: Kiran has mutated his jaws and face to have a second set of retractable teeth that overlap his “human” teeth when forced out. These teeth are incredibly sharp and strong enough when coupled with his enhanced bite force to tear into construction grade steel. When stuck out of his mouth, Kiran’s tongue is able to extend up to 9 inches. Its sense of taste has been sharpened to help Kiran’s ability to analyze substances. Possesses Toxic Glands Consisting of two glands that are implanted into the salivary glands and the hard palate. These two glands working in tandem transform his saliva into a caustic, blinding fluid or powerful neural toxin when consciously triggered. This allows Kiran to spit with the effect of blinding or wounding an enemy.
  • Skeleton Enhancements: In addition to the chemical strengthening of the skeletal structure, some especially fragile bones (such as the clavicles) have been replaced with carbon-based synth-organic components. Kiran’s spine and cranium have also been strategically reinforced with synth-organic bone grafts. Kiran somehow was able to replace their ribcage with a custom fitted internal shield of flexible bone plates sheathed in calcified cartilage that repairs itself if damaged. The bones outer structure has the consistency of porous chitin with their bio carbon fiber weave layered over it. This coupled with their normal bone treatments has left their new ribcage heavily armored to most conventional weaponry. Kiran’s legs possess an exaggerated curve to the shins compared to natural legs. Their internal structure allows for the shins to have a very slight degree of flexibility, allowing for incredible speed and the ability to exert or absorb huge amounts of force. Additionally, Kiran’s legs employ a wide array of powerful bundles of synthetic muscles. With this Kiran can easily leap tremendous distances without accelerating, like 6 meters straight up, or make a running jump of up to 8 meters.
  • Enhanced Eyes: Kiran mutated their eyes to incorporate a structure that amplifies light and enhances their night vision. The number of light-sensitive rods and detail-enhancing cones in his eyes also increased. Like the eyes of a cat, this augmentation incorporates a mirror-like organ in the cornea that reflects light toward the retina. Under low-light conditions, Kiran’s eyes seem to be reflective and to glow in the dark. Through trial and error, Kiran stimulated the growth of a clear protective membrane covering their eyes, similar to that possessed by many animals. This "inner eyelid" protects the eyes, keeping out sand, grit, smoke and other irritants. This eye protection eases underwater activities. The membranes are light sensitive and become tinted under bright light. Further, they are polarized to reduce glare.
  • Robust Immune System: The Pathogenic Defense involves an enhancement of the spleen, spearheading the production of more effective and aggressive leukocytes, or white blood cells. These cells are then released into the bloodstream and lymphatic system to combat disease and infection. A matched pair of peanut sized organs implanted under the armpit areas that increase the natural disease fighting abilities of the body. A network of fine tendrils spreads into Kiran’s throat, sinuses, and lymphatic system of their upper body to constantly sample body fluids for the foreign antigens that identify an invading bacteria or virus.
    Until activation the nodes simply act as additional reservoirs and manufacturing sights for lymphocytes, the specialized blood cells that attack infections. When an infection is detected they release lymphocytes and chemically alerts the rest of the immune system, then goes into lymphocyte production overdrive.
  • Augmented circulatory system and Altered Blood: Kiran reinforced the muscle tissue of their arteries to increase their pumping action and accelerate blood flow throughout the body to give them the aerobic performance of an Olympic athlete. This also greatly reduces the work of their two hearts and makes their stamina finally reach high tier superhuman levels. Select growths were implanted into his bone marrow to increase and enhance his Platelets, cell fragments in the blood that play a vital role in clotting. This enhances his body's ability to handle damage by selectively accelerating the production of platelets within bone marrow. More platelets in the bloodstream help to lessen the trauma from large wounds, as the bleeding quickly stops and clots no matter the wound. Kiran’s blood is altered further to carry oxygen and nutrients more efficiently. This increased the amount of hemoglobin in his blood, making it a brighter shade of red than that of normal humans because of its greatly increased oxygen-carrying capacity.
  • The Super-Thyroid Gland: A regulating gland that was vat grown and then implanted on top of Kiran’s existing thyroid gland. This Super-thyroid Gland supersedes the metabolic functions of the thyroid, optimizing catabolism (the breakdown of complex substances, such as starches into sugars) and anabolism (the chemical conversion of substances, such as the construction of complex sugars). The altered metabolism produces more energy and effectively supercharges Kiran. However, he must ingest twice as much food and drink as the normal person to fuel the higher metabolic rate.
  • Trauma Compensators: Multiple cultures sheaths and an array of biosynthetic mesh surrounds most of Kiran’s vital organs to help reduce shock and the chance of rupturing. Delicate compensator ribbons of transmissive nerve fiber were grown in his body through careful application, meant to help bypass the safety inhibitors of the human body. These allow Kiran to act while suffering from intense physical and mental trauma. The Compensators do not block the actual damage, only the neurological and physiological effects of shock and fatigue on the body. Meanwhile any rapid drop in blood pressure, from a "Serious" or greater wound, causes rings of muscle spaced along the arteries of the limbs to contract and cut off blood flow to the injured area. Specially made valves in the veins then slam shut and re-route circulation around the affected limb. Any tissue at the wound or lower is basically considered dead, but traumatic blood loss and further damage is prevented. Limb tissue below the wound site must be removed and replaced.
  • Enhanced Kidneys: Each of Kiran’s kidneys were rebuilt to improve filtration and reclamation. Finer discrimination in the removal of waste products and the reclamation of useful materials causes a greater level of well-being. A third minor Kidney has been added to further increase his bodily filtration.
  • Twin Hearts: The original heart is implanted with a synthetic weave which significantly increases its capacity to pump blood. A secondary heart that resembles a smaller version of the human heart can be found connected to the rest of Kiran’s circulatory and pulmonary systems near the original heart. Its function is to enhance performance by supplying more oxygen and nutrients to the muscles by increasing blood flow well-beyond that capable for even the most fit normal human being. In the event of combat damage to or failure of the Kiran’s original heart, the Secondary Heart is usually capable of pumping enough blood through their circulatory system to maintain survival until he can treat his injuries.
  • Improved Digestive System: Their stomach lining is toughened and modified to produce more enzymes and acids to break down matter, and the pancreas and liver are enhanced to produce improved bile and enzymes that aid in digesting food in the small intestine.
    The result allows the user to safely consume a great variety of organic materials as food, including roots, grass, peat and a number of plants that are normally considered inedible. An improved digestive tract also provides protection against toxic materials, such as rhubarb leaves, smooth lepiotoid mushrooms and so on. This treatment also involved modifying their taste buds and olfactory senses, making it easier for the user to "stomach" unusual foods. With further alterations to Kiran's exocrine glands, liver and pancreas-and the addition of tailored bacteria to the intestines, Kiran can more efficiently digest food and drink. An additional artificial organ coils around the inside of the large intestine and removes up to 80 per-cent of the water from the body's solid waste products. The efficient recycling of fluid allows Kiran to function normally without water for 48 hours in a temperate climate, 24 hours in arid or hot conditions.
    - A second or "pre-stomach" spliced into Kiran’s digestive system above the original stomach that allows him to eat otherwise poisonous or completely indigestible materials. This multi-chambered stomach is capable of biochemically analyzing ingested materials and neutralizing most known biochemical and inorganic toxins. Deadly poisons are either neutralized or isolated from the digestive tract. The Second stomach can also be isolated from the rest of the digestive tract to allow the ultra filter to break down any toxins that would be too harmful even for Kiran’s system. The second Stomach is also able to flood itself with a strange viscous fluid that puts any organic tissue into a state of suspended animation until it can be vomited back up again.
  • Hyper-Augmented Skin: Microscopic fibers thread through his skin tissue, making it much more resistant to damage. The result is Kiran’s bare skin has a resistance to damage similar to light body armor. This weave stops blades wielded by anyone without super strength and small arms bullets are useless if not fired at close range. Later on, Kiran’s dermal Armor skin was then peeled back section by section and fortified by grafts of a strengthened and reinforced collagen-protein derivative, a synthetic and more resilient form of the elastin protein and flakes of modified laced cartilage. Once transplanted, The new dermal layer grows and is virtually indistinguishable from normal skin, as the underlying sub-dermis is altered at the same time. Their skin now heals with little or no scarring. Finally a honeycomb structure was encouraged to grow beneath the skin, situated between the dermis and muscle. Not only does the framework distribute blunt trauma to reduce physical impact, but the holes are filled with a heat-absorbent substance. This basically gives his skin a much higher melting point. Outside of powers or tech, Kiran is pretty much fireproof.
  • Adrenal Pump: Kiran has created a small, muscular sac implanted in the lower abdominal cavity and connected to each of their adrenal glands. When dormant, the pump serves as a reservoir for adrenaline and noradrenaline. When activated, the sac contracts, sending a surge of concentrates into the bloodstream. Stress and other emotional states such as anger, fear or lust will also activate the pump.
    The actual combat effectiveness of the pump is variable, as the effects produced by hormones depend both on the amount secreted and the responsiveness of the tissue in question.
  • Inhumanly Flexible Joints: This treatment replaced the articular capsules of all of Kiran’s major joints with an elastic biosynthetic material that is substantially more robust. At the same time, the socket hold and nerve density were slightly reduced. Further augmentations include joint-surface coating, relubrication and tendon and ligament augmentation designed for fluid muscle and joint action. The net effect improves the ease with which their joints can stretch, bend, be dislocated, and replaced into their respective sockets. Resulting in amazing flexibility and feats of contortion.
  • Bio Antifreeze: This small, flat gland is implanted in the chest cavity where it maintains Kiran’s body with a constant supply of meta glycogen, a chemical compound that prevents water in the tissues from forming ice crystals in below freezing temperatures. This makes freezing and frostbite on Kiran’s body impossible.
  • Nasal Booster: Using receptors implanted into the nasal passages and back of the mouth, this increases Kiran’s Olfactory systems range and sensitivity to smells. This augmentation contains high-level cut offs to prevent Kiran from becoming overwhelmed by powerful smells.
  • Paralysis Dampener: Kiran has mutated his body to possess a secondary nervous system using a neuro conductive fluid, making him almost impossible to paralyze through any type of nerve agent and allows the continuous work of his body's neural network even if the primary nervous system becomes overloaded or damaged.
  • Cardiac Frenzy: This implant plugs directly into kiran’s hearts and can be triggered to overclock each heart's performance and the circulatory system. By overclocking his hearts, Kiran’s speed, acceleration, and physical torque increase to the point that it also increases his physical damage output. When activated in tandem with his other circulatory augmentations, his heartbeats grow loud enough to be heard from a distance and their body becomes extremely vascular with their blood vessels becoming noticeably visible on the surface of their skin as well as causing the Kiran’s skin to turn a bright red color.
  • High Wired Reflex System: This system puts the body in a state of constant seizure, these seizures are controlled by a specialized mutation within Kiran’s nervous system and spinal cord which counteracts the effects of the seizures and directs them into controlled movements. When Kiran uses this new system to move, they do so with unnatural smoothness, taking their limb and reaction speed to a new level well beyond what a natural person is capable of. Paired with Kiran’s other augmented systems, he is capable of near blinding reaction and movement speeds to the point where he could be mistaken for a low to mid tier speedster type mover.
  • Lycan Node: This implant was carefully created and grafted onto the spinal cord. After months of “recording” it is able to perfectly retain Kiran’s “standard” form and genetic template to allow for drastic bodily transformations without causing fatal mental and physical stress. This also grants Kiran the ability to shift between “recorded” forms at will. The Lycan Node is implanted alongside mutable flex-cartilage and complex synth-skin grafts that allow for nearly seamless reshaping of their body. Their bone structure is then embedded with specialized glands that help compensate for any rapid changes in size and prevent fractures, breaks, cracks or shattering
  • The Crucible: A marvel of chemical and bioengineering. This dormant, muscular organ connects to both of Kiran’s hearts and acts as an emergency biological fail save. In times of extreme stress, or should Kiran’s body undergo violent, damaging trauma, it expels great blurts of powerful self synthesized chemicals and tailor made mutagens. This hyper-cocktail simulates and supercharges all biological systems while also aiding in the unnaturally rapid regrowth of tissue, bone and muscle. Effectively putting Kiran’s body into overdrive while forcibly repairing it into a functioning state. The gland then falls dormant again after a brief period, and takes some time to metabolically build itself up once more for the next usage.

  SKILLS
  

  World Class Surgeon. Master of Disguise and Misdirection. Expert Contortionist and Acrobat. Moderately skilled Marksmen.

  
  EQUIPMENT
  

  Scorpion Tail	A telescopic, fully prehensile tail made of a tinker smelted alloy able to smash through concrete that has been grafted into Kiran’s spine and tailbone. It can extend up to 20 feet away from him and possesses an artificial stinger on the end able to deliver anything from a deadly cocktail of poisons of Kiran’s own making to any number of his mutagenic drugs. It can retract to almost completely disappear so long as he wears baggy clothes and coats.
  The Repair & Rejuvenation Pod	A complex container that resembles a translucent seed pod made from a strange combination of mechanical and biological technology. It is filled with a churning and bubbling soup of primordial fluids. When a person is placed within the fluid and the pod sealed, the R&R pod can be pre programmed to commence a variety of effects on its occupant. The most fascinating being its ability to halt and reverse the aging process with a combination of rapid gene therapy and cellular repair to reverse longevity-related damage to protein structures and DNA alike. It is also capable of intense levels of cellular repair to mend any otherwise irreparable damage on a somatic level. This includes healing the effects of permanent neurotoxin damage, correcting physical flaws, repairing and re-growing internal damage, or even the regrowth of lost limbs. The more severe the trauma, the longer one is required to stay in the pod. Anything less than death takes no more than three days to recover fully. Any longer and the body will begin to be broken down by the pods fluids.
  The Compact Synthesizer	A marvel of modern engineering fully taking advantage of Kiran's chemical powers. a mobile chemical lab equipped with an interface encoding the periodic table. The bag houses a wide range of liquid materials that are injected with syringes into capsules made of an advanced polyethylene shell. Enabling Kiran to produce chem-balls filled with different substances capable of producing a wide variety of effects by typing in the calculations for the substance on a screen found on either gauntlet. The chem-balls are roughly the size of a large marble and travel through tubing out of the Synthesizer and out of ports found in his gauntlet's palms, ready to be thrown.
  Tech Mask	A high tech, custom made black gas mask that covers his face with built in red lights found in the goggles and filters. The mask is completely sealed, its “filters” are actually air scrubbers that help him always breathe fresh air and keep his mask vented.
  Medical tools	Various high grade medical tools for on the go procedures and "Examinations".
  Exo-Space Gate	A collapsible piece of technology that creates an opening into Kiran's hidden Laboratory.
  The Seed of Life	A device the size of a baseball, it contains distilled Kiran Kingsley. Not exactly a clone, the “seed” is meant for when things are unrecoverable. The contents of this container are linked To Kiran’s life signs and will activate if Kiran is ever killed or a weekly Dead Man’s switch, that involves a fresh sample of Kiran’s blood, isn’t reset. The seed will expand and grow over the course of a month into a perfect copy of Kiran Kingsley, with their memories, skills and experiences from the last sample given from their original body.

  Kiran has an extensive library of chemicals and formulas they have made throughout their career. Though there are a few staple ones he has grown fond of or have gained widespread circulation through his production.
  
  Sleeping Beauty​
  Appearance: A softly luminescent, navy blue liquid that has next to no taste but smells like lavender.
  Way of Usage: Injection only.
  Effect: A powerful tranquilizer drug used to stabilize patients suffering from severe injuries, poisons, toxins and viral infections. It lowers their body temperature, and puts one in a near death state with no real risk of death. Makes for easy use of transport as well as gives a person in a critical state more time before the situation gets worse. It’s designed to even effect unique and complex biological systems that would normally reject such a substance
  Kiran primarily uses this drug in various doses and potencies to help keep their beasts and test subjects in line, and of course it helps when it comes to abducting people.
  
  
  Berzerk​
  - Appearance: A grainy crystalline red powder that smells coppery and tastes like cheap hard liquor.
  - Way of Usage: liquified through heat for injection or taken through the nose in powder form.
  - Effect: A mixture of energy boosters, mutagens and physical stimulants that causes a drastic increase to physical strength that warrants a mid brute rating. Muscles and body mass swelling in size with veins becoming increasingly vascular. It also makes the user fearless, impulsive, and easily prone to violence and aggression. When on Berzerk a person becomes virtually uncontrollable by conventional means unless the drug can be flushed out of their system. People with a strong will and mental fortitude have been known to be able to handle multiple doses of Berserk at once and still retain their focus and cognitive functions, at the same time seeing a drastic increase in physical strength that would normally be granted with the average dose.
  
  
  Wonderland​
  - Appearance: An opalescent sugar like crystal ground into a fine powder that is scentless and tastes rather sweet like refined sugar.
  - Way of Usage: Either snorted or smoked in its powdered form.
  - Effect: one of the most addictive and life damaging drugs Kiran has ever made if not taken carefully. Wonderland is an intense psychedelic that makes Acid seem tame by comparison. Users experience a pleasant dream-like sensation as slow acting painkillers take effect followed by massive amounts of endorphins coupled with hyper awareness and visceral hallucinations of all the senses. Experiences while on Wonderland are never the same. Coming down from the high often leaves the user depressed and wanting more. Has gotten popular in the artistic community.
  
  
  Nitro ​
  - Appearance: A smoky, pale green liquid with next to no taste or scent.
  - Way of Usage: Inhaled through an inhaler or aerosol tool.
  - Effect: Kiran's second and most popular combat drug. This powerful cocktail is a combination of specialized metabolic boosters and synthetic adrenaline all wrapped up in a mutagen that develops temporary low to mid rated mover abilities restricted to physical speedster effects and the rare chance of short range teleportation. The effects are commonly short lived and wear off after 15 minutes to an upwards of half an hour, leaving one feeling sluggish and mentally exhausted afterwards. Prolonged use without moderation is known to cause nerve damage and degradation in reaction time as well as hand-eye coordination.
  
  
  Electr-0​
  - Appearance: A drippy goldenrod yellow liquid mixed through with darker, denser globules. It tastes like carbonated lemon juice and smells similar to ozone.
  - Way of Usage: Ingested like cough syrup.
  - Effect: Also known as System Shock in some circles. Once drunk, it immediately awakens every single nerve ending in the body in an electric wave of intense agony. Once the pain passes, a single dose makes people much more aware as well as boosting their nervous system to become hyper sensitive. The body is then exceptionally awake and alert for some time afterwards, but users have a very low tolerance for additional pain. It is used as a stimulant commercially as a pleasure aid in S&M circles, while some have found use in it to help facilitate interrogation.
  
  
  Nerve​
  - Appearance: A shiny, metallic black powder that's tasteless and smells like mint.
  - Way of Usage: Ingested in pill capsules or inhaled through an inhaler or aerosol tool.
  - Effect: also known as “Twitch” or “Slow-mo”, Nerve causes the neural pathways of the brain to fire more rapidly, increasing bodily reflexes and perception to the point that the outside world appears to slow down. It is prized as a way of extending ecstasy, but is more commonly used by ganger’s and mercenaries who use the edge to give them lethal effect in combat. sharpens the reflexes of the user and enhances reaction time to an a near inhuman level. Commonly paired with Nitro for more extreme effects.
  
  
  Compound Delta 𝛥: a.k.a Ego​
  - Appearance: An oily orange liquid with a strong acidic smell and taste
  - Way of Use: Dripped into the eyes or injected into the blood stream.
  - Effect: a cognitive, memory-enhancement drug. Stimulating the temporary growth and flow of dendrites in the brain. Utilizing a potent, high concentration of neural stimulants and brain altering mutagens, It allows the user seemingly-total awareness and greatly enhanced thinking as well as recall akin to eidetic memory. Ego is physically non-addictive. Psychologically however it typically causes frequent users to develop god-complexes in a very short time, believing themselves smarter than everyone around them.
  
  
  Looking Glass​
  - Appearance: Strange glass like crystals that have odd rainbow patterns in them when light shines through them right.
  - Way of Usage: Crushed into a fine powder then snorted or Inhaled through an inhaler or aerosol tool.
  - Effect: A bizarre hallucinogenic utilizing experimental mutagenic formula to induce temporary changes to the eyes and brain. The initial dose will cause a feeling of surreal-ness in one's surroundings while making sights and sounds more vibrant. On the other hand, when anyone partaking in Looking Glass is suddenly put under stress and the brain's fight or flight response kicks in, the user will suddenly blank out and become "Glassed" for an indeterminate amount of time, reduced to staring blankly at the pretty colors and delusions of their own mind and becoming totally unaware of their surroundings while inactive. There is a chance that their experience will be far from pleasant though, some recorded to leave lasting adverse psychological effects.
  
  
  Black Lotus ​
  - Appearance: A strange, dark purple, bioluminescence flower that grows “naturally” on the seventh layer of Kiran’s laboratory complex.
  - Way of Usage: Either eaten in some way or dried out and smoked.
  - Effect: A happy little accident in Kiran’s eyes. Even they are not sure the full extent of the plant's applications yet. Minutes after taking, the user will receive a high which imparts heightened emotions and a complete invulnerability to pain. Constant use leads to stunted emotions and a decrease in empathy when not on Black Lotus. Some have thought to use Black Lotus on security and military personnel to condition them into better, emotionless killers. Kiran is fascinated by the concept and has been considering its use in their mental conditioning procedures.
  
  
  Bliss​
  - Appearance: Derived from the refined secretions of mutated monstrosities made to be in constant states of positive feelings. The drug itself is a soft, snow white powder with a crystalline shimmer.
  - Way of Usage: Commonly applied through adhesive patches, but can also be ingested.
  - Effect: Also referred to as “slappers” of “happy patches” depending on who you ask. Taking Bliss causes a powerful sense of euphoria in minutes, as well as an odd increased sense of empathy with possible auditory hallucinations. Additionally, many users have claimed that the drug allowed them to perceive in an out of body experience or even from other people’s senses. Bliss unfortunately has a complicated refinement process and has a limited supply in circulation normally. People have resorted to cutting up the patches to be sold in squares. More diluted effects but the results are still enjoyable.
  
  
  Ward​
  - Appearance: A silvery, non-Newtonian liquid that requires shaking for it to become more viscous. Tastes metallic similar to blood but smells like artificial cherry flavoring.
  - Way of Usage: Shaken well before being drunk as is. Does not work well when mixed with other substances.
  - Effect: Kiran’s latest creation in the field of temporary power granting combat stimulants. This powerful mutagen when imbibed causes the user's body to “toughen” inside and out, the skin becoming bulletproof to anything that’s not a point blank shot or high caliber, and the bones becoming tough enough to survive a five story fall and not so much as crack. Essentially granting the drinker low to mid level armor brute ratings. The effects however barely last half an hour, leaving the whole body sore and skin stiff when worn off. Taking another before the first has flushed from one's system risks the high chance of intense muscle stiffening and the calcifying of the skin. It’s unknown if Kiran can make it stronger or last longer. Extreme sports practitioners and adrenaline junkies have taken a liking to Ward when they are able to get their hands on it. Ward has also birthed a new extreme form of entertainment where one takes the drug and then leaps from high places as if attempting suicide, only to slam into the ground with little injuries.
  
  
  Poppy​
  - Appearance: A matt black substance that looks like hard candy. Smells and tastes like blue raspberry.
  - Way of Usage: Ingested by licking a “blot” off a piece of paper or plastic.
  - Effect: One of the most popular party drugs on the market right now and one of Kiran’s personal favorites for its simplicity. Users experience intense giddiness, lassitude, and mild visual hallucinations. When the drug wears off, the user can feel slightly fatigued but never anything more severe then that. A genuine recreational drug Kiran made to have a good time with no extra funny business. Ended up being a dangerous gateway drug for younger crowds. This was Kiran’s first drug ever designed for sale and helped to produce the funds they needed to further their other projects early on.
  
  
  Slim​
  - Appearance: A thin, clear yellow liquid with no taste and an unpleasant rotten smell..
  - Way of Usage: Injected only, even though some try drinking it.
  - Effect: A dietary drug that suppresses the appetite and speeds up the user’s metabolism and thought processes. Became popular among celebrities and quickly picked up by adolescents and teenagers. People on slim are energetic and prone to jumpiness. When the effect wears off, the user crashes hard. Slim users tend to suffer from attention-deficit disorders and feel unable to properly focus when not on the drug, leading to extended binges. Habitual users are often gaunt from malnutrition, which renders them susceptible to infection, especially of the teeth, gums, and mouth. Kiran made this drug as a sick joke and even sells a cure that reverses the negative effects no matter how long term. It’s unsurprisingly expensive for adults though.
  
  
  Valentine​
  - Appearance: a glittering pink powder that smells and tastes like strawberries.
  - Way of Usage: smoked or inhaled.
  - Effect: Very few people are surprised that Kiran eventually designed a drug like this. A potent stimulant and aphrodisiac used to relax, open up, and become aroused. The drug leaves the user open to suggestion, especially toward sexual encounters, and users become more sensitive to changes in light, temperature, and pressure. When the effect wears off, the user suffers mild disorientation. It’s common to take this with Bliss for intense experiences. What’s shocking is that Valentine appears to be intentionally engineered to prevent addiction or dependency. Mixing it with Bliss though seems to counteract this, so take that how you will.
  
  
  Jolt​
  - Appearance: A nearly see through, pale blue liquid with next to no taste or scent.
  - Way of Usage: usually taken from a single-dose inhaler.
  - Effect: Commonly referred to as the “dollar store Nitro” and easily mistaken for the real thing. This drug was designed as a lead in for buyers to seek out Kiran’s more exotic ability granting products. Once inhaled, the user becomes increasingly jumpy and as hyper as a caffeinated two-year-old. Next to no mover abilities manifest but all the users bodily functions are supercharged periodically. When Jolt wears off, the user crashes and is exhausted. It has become popular among smaller gangs and some lower ranking supers for gaining that slight edge in a pinch.
  
  
  Turbo​
  - Appearance: A carbonated scarlet liquid that smells and tastes like a common store bought energy drink.
  - Way of Usage: Ingested only. Can come in powdered form to be mixed into other liquids.
  - Effect: A concoction born from the idea “Can I make something more powerful than the most caffeinated energy drink on the planet?” This drink is made from a combination of synthesized hormones and other brain-regulating chemicals all blended together with a list of vitamins, minerals and some possible mutagens that couldn’t all fit on the ingredients list of any commercial can. Turbo stimulates the brain and keeps the user awake, obviating the need for sleep while granting feelings of being energized and mild amounts of increased cognitive function. The longest time a single person has remained awake on turbo is approximately 72 hours past the time of dosing without incurring any adverse amounts of fatigue or weariness.
  
  
  Chimera​
  - Appearance: A somewhat thick fluid unable to form bubbles that constantly changes color and luminosity.
  - Way of Usage: Injected anywhere in the body.
  - Effect: The most horrifying lottery imaginable. This polymorphic drug is unstable and causes rapid shifts in the recipient's cells and genetics, causing any imaginable random mutation. Survivors normally find themselves with new appearances, biological abilities and or physical features. Changes can range from easily hidden or uncanny to the horrific and monstrous. Unlucky individuals will have their bodies completely changed and unrecognizable as ever being human, some with the unfortunate side effect of having their minds intact. Other unfortunate individuals could be reduced to gelatinous biomass or even explode or rupture in any number of gruesome ways.
  Initiates of the Cult of Flesh are required to take Chimera and are expected to survive the effects to become a part of the cult. Most peculiarly, those that have survived taking the drug are able to take it again afterwards without fear of monstrous malformations of their flesh, and can instead expect more random and potentially helpful mutations.
  
  
  Rapture​
  - Appearance: A glittering gold powder with no scent or flavor at all.
  - Way of Usage: Encapsulated in single dose pills meant to be taken once at any given time.
  - Effect: Kiran once had the inspiration to make a recreational drug that would be stronger than anything they had made before. What came from what was nearly a weeks long obsession was an ungodly combination of highly refined and distilled psychoactive substances well beyond more potent than natural peyote. Many users consider a Rapture trip equivalent to a religious experience, with their awareness heightened to an almost cellular level. Hence the name. Unsurprisingly, coming down from a Rapture high is often accompanied by crushing depression. It is Kiran’s highest priced product and has every right to be as said by anyone who has had the pleasure of taking it even once.
  
  
  ~ GIFT ~​
  Appearance: A luminescent, kaleidoscopic material that can look solid, powdered, or liquid at any given time. Everyone claims it to have a different smell and taste.
  Way of Usage: Suspended in a clear viscous liquid and encapsulated in a single dose pill to be swallowed.
  Effect: One of Kiran’s greatest achievements, potentially mega project worthy. The great equalizer and destabilizer and the envy of many. The anomalous material inside this pill when swallowed causes a chain reaction within the body of mundane individuals. Kickstarting the dormant “meta gene” and facilitating the rapid development of super powers and abnormal abilities. The effects only last for an hour and repeated uses in a single day are known to easily be fatal. Each individual person is only able to manifest a single unique power when on GIFT and said power will always be the same, meaning whatever abilities are granted and at what degree of “power level” is all up to genetic chance. Already powered individuals have a 75% chance of excruciating pain and death if attempting to take this drug. The lucky 25% cause a new ability to manifest independent of their current powers.
  Rumor has it that Kiran has a treatment that can cause the effects of a GIFT dosage to be permanent. Though few have you courage to seek the mad tinker out even at the chance of superpowers.
