| Bio: | "To the most of men this is a Caliban And they to him are angels." (Prospero 1.2 The Tempest) PLAYER INFORMATION: Player Name:Khush Age:29 Contact Information: condemned.knight@yahoo.com, condemnedknight2 aim Timezone: EST CHARACTER INFORMATION: Character Name/Aliases (if any):Caliban Age: unknown Codename:Caliban Affiliation: Morlocks Personality: Not the brightest crayon in the box, Caliban nonetheless is a well meaning, tenderhearted soul. He simply doesn’t know how to go about it. His greatest desire is to be friends with the mutants he senses. He is non-violent by nature, despite his freakish appearance, and almost child-like in thought and action. He is trusting and loyal to a fault for his friends. Caliban is greatly naïve to the complexities of the world around him. His low intelligence prevents him from being a real danger to anyone unless he is tricked into thinking they are bad and mean to harm him or one of his friends who he will, literally, take a bullet for. History: Caliban didn’t grow into his mutation that normally manifest for most mutants in their teenage years. He was born the way he is. His father, upon seeing the monster that his wife had given birth to, and subsequently died from, named him Caliban after the monstrous character in the Shakespeare play The Tempest, and promptly abandoned him, giving him minimal care and then leaving him to fend for himself on the streets, ashamed to have produced such a terrible creature. Caliban had basic animal instincts for survival and ate garbage and hid in the sewers and alley ways, claimed by no one as he grew up. He didn’t know his father’s name, or remember where he lived, and never saw him again. All he knew and understood was that people were cruel, that he was alone, and that occasionally, he would sense someone who was like him. The first time this happened, Caliban followed the mutant for days, watching her from the shadows. Having lived most of his life hiding like a recluse, he thought this mutant was the most amazing thing to ever walk the earth and he wanted to be friends with her, for he was desperately lonely. Unluckily for him, however, following mutants who were also prone to being attacked by other mutants was not a good idea when you looked like a monster. The next time it happened, sensing other mutants nearby, Caliban approached Storm, Sprite, Dazzler, and Spider-Woman in a nightclub and it didn’t go well. A brief battle broke out, during which he tried to kidnap Kitty, but it all ended peacefully when the mutant women saw that he wasn’t a threat, just a lonely creature. They let him go with no hard feelings, but Caliban never forgot Kitty. Then Callisto found him. She was a reject of society like him and showed him kindness, so Caliban followed her blindly, doing her bidding and using his ability to locate other dejected mutants for her to recruit into their band of outcasts that Callisto called the Morlocks. Powers & Special Abilities: from Marvel Wikia X-Factor Detection: He is able to psionically sense the presence of other mutants within a 25 mile radius of himself. Fear Absorption: He is able to absorb the psionic energy in the fear from others and convert it into physical strength. Amplification: He is able to also use absorbed fear-energy to turn it against those around him, inducing more intense fear within their minds. Superhuman Strength: Caliban can use fear that he's absorbed to enhance his physical strength Other: Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices That, if I then had waked after long sleep, Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming, The clouds methought would open and show riches Ready to drop upon me that, when I waked, I cried to dream again. --Caliban, Act III, scene ii The Tempest PB: Andy Serkis | ||||||||||
