The Angel of Strength
Name: Xander Della Terra


Nickname(s): Xander is fine with him.


Gender: Male as h*ck


Age: 30


Appearance: Dn_FPriest.png


Backstory: After a very fortunate and loved childhood, Xander had made a name for himself in the Marines. However, he was too angry and reckless for his squadron, and often picked fights with his peers, no matter the rank, granting him a Dishonorable Discharge after 5 years of being in the military. Soon after, Xander had gone through an anger management course at the request of his serious girlfriend, of whom he would marry at the age of 27. After passing the anger management course, getting married, and putting a baby in his wife's tummy (Dear lord that's weird sounding), superheroes have started to pop up more and more in the world, making strange occurrences happen just as frequently... Like a random person getting the powers of absorption for no reason known to Xander. But someone knows, and Xander wants to find out who and why... Years later, his wife, Lauren, and daughter, Jess, were in a car with him, and before he knew what had happened, his body became metal and his wife was on the street, burning and bleeding. Jess was no where to be seen. After that, much was blank for Xander, he had escaped every hospital before they could manage to figure him out, and ran, as far and as fast as he could, looking for Jess. But what he didn't know, was that his brother, who he had no contact with, took in Jess. His brother thought he was dead, and Xander had no idea. Xander realised he needed some way to survive, learning more about what he could do, and how he could use it. Eventually becoming a drifter, Xander has learned many little things about many different things, becoming a knowledgeable man. He stays at a job for a few weeks, and leaves, however he never changes his last name, because he is proud of his family and always wants to remember them with all of his heart.


Family: Wife- Lauren (Deceased)
Daughter- Jess (Alive, not known to be alive by Xander)
Brother- Siggy (Alive)
Mother and Father (Deceased)


Friend(s): He's new here.


**Romantic Interest: What kind of a sick joke


Personality: Xander, a gentle giant with a growing anger in the pit of his stomach, one that he just wishes to let out, but he knows better. He appreciates the quiet, but loves being around people he becomes friends with for the month, either at the bar, or at a shooting range, it doesn't matter to him. However his moral code is very... Peculiar. He goes with his gut feeling on everything, but sometimes his gut tells him that that bank robber definitely deserved to gutted like a fish after shooting two civilians. He can easily be swayed to either side of the Force with any guidance, however his hard head can make it difficult.


Powers: Y'all know Absorbing Man from Marvel? Good that's Xander's powers. If he makes contact with any solid material, he can changes the atomic structure of his body to mimic that material. If he touches diamond, he becomes diamond. Now something he had to hone his powers on, was making weapons out of the material. If he is still holding on to a certain material that covers his body, he can expend just a few more moments to grow a form of weapon that extends from his body, sword from his wrist, or something along those lines. He cannot move when absorbing the material, and the more dense a material is, the more difficult it is to not absorb the actual material. So if he grabs onto a diamond, he will actually get rid of the diamond when he absorbs it. Aside from absorption, he has gained enhanced physical capabilities, able to lift cars with little to average effort. Yes he can throw VW Bugs. He can run faster than the average Olympian, and endure getting hit by a train with just a few broken bones.


Am I missing anything? BTW how do you hide a comment?

My problem is that he could just always have a diamond in his pocket, and thus be nigh indestructible.
 
Butt like, he doesn't. He will basically be touching the ground wth his hand and be getting concrete. But if he comes across diamonds, he could absorb the actual diamond(?) know what I mean??
 
Oh, like he physically absorbs the substance and consumes it in the process?
I was thinking, for like diamonds or special metals he would. But if he is next to a car or building he could just become that material. Like an RP weakness thing.
 
I guess we could say the denser the object, the harder it is for him to absorb without taking in the mass itself?
 
Okie dolor artichokey. But I mean, he would become concrete very often so it would be easy for him, ye?

Fair enough. Oh, also, what happens to his body regarding that? Like, let's say he's concrete and someone cracks the concrete or takes a slab off. What happens to his body when he changes back?

His body would reflect the change, but since he can absorb more of the material, he would just need to take a some seconds to regrow his body. But also, if he get rid of a material while he grew a sword or something, he would need to break it off himself so he doesn't have a weird overgrowth of bone. And that would hurt him.
 
Wait, he can regenerate his body in those forms? So, if he's injured, could he just switch to a concrete form, absorb some concrete, and pop back into his human form good as new?
