PLAYER PROFILE
Player name: Chris
Age: I turned 30 yesterday.
Contact: [plurk.com profile] objectpermanence
Characters currently in-game: L3-37
Triggers/Fears/Squicks: Body horror involving eyes being punctured or cut. Parasites buried under skin (i.e. bot flies).

Character Motivation: Hank would jump at the chance to leave Reverie Terminal and come to Zhautas because 1) presumably Zhautas isn't actively trying to torture, mutilate, or kill him the way Reverie Terminal seems to be, 2) X-Men are generally in favor of helping to save the world, and 3) now that he's aware of the existence of the multiverse, he feels a sense of duty to try to protect it.

VOLUNTEER PROFILE

Name: Dr. Henry "Hank" Philip McCoy
Age: 29
Physical Appearance: mutated, "Beast"-like appearance; more human-like appearance. (The latter is achieved through application of a specially-designed serum.)
Point in Timeline: mid-Days of Future Past (Rogue Cut), just after the scene between Hank and Raven. Hank goes back to his room in the mansion and reapplies his serum. Then he was teleported across time and space to a place called Reverie Terminal, where he spent about three months.

Noteworthy Positive Characteristics:
  1. Loyal – Hank stayed with Charles in the mansion even after they had to close the school, to take care of his friend for nearly a decade as he descended into addiction.
  2. Intelligent – Hank graduated from Harvard at age 15 and was working for the CIA before he was 20.
  3. Inventive – Hank designed a supersonic jet propulsion system, as well as the serum which suppresses his mutation.
  4. Responsible – While Charles succumbed to the addictive nature of the serum and overused it to the point where his powers subsided completely, Hank only took the necessary dose to maintain his human-like appearance, as well as maintained the upkeep of the house when no one else was fit to.


Noteworthy Negative Characteristics:
  1. Repressed – Given that his formative years were spent focusing on academic pursuits, Hank never really learned how to "let loose" and enjoy himself. He is ashamed of his animalistic urges and has a hard time thinking of his mutated appearance as something worth loving or even being attracted to.
  2. Impatient – As soon as he's able to synthesize a prototype serum from Raven's blood which (he thinks) will revert his mutated feet to the human norm, he instantly injects it into himself, rather than test it through the proper channels. This wildly backfires, resulting in the "unlocking" of his secondary mutated form.
  3. Spineless – He lets Charles walk all over him, essentially acting as his caretaker and guard dog, too timid to say or do anything about it.


Powers/Abilities: Hank possesses superhuman strength, speed, agility, and endurance due to his mutant gene. Most of the time, he uses a chemical serum he devised to control (i.e. suppress) his mutation. When he is triggered via physical or emotional stress, however, he can unleash his secondary mutated state, becoming larger and covered in blue fur, with dark yellow eyes, animalistic features, pointed teeth, and claws. He also has a genius-level IQ, and is an expert in genetics, biology, chemistry, aerodynamics, engineering, and various other scientific fields. With the serum in his system, Hank can lift approximately one ton. In his secondary mutated form, he can lift about ten tons.

Character Fears: Losing control and hurting the people he cares about. Going back to Reverie Terminal. Everyone he knows disappearing, leaving him alone. He is also incredibly insecure about his Beast-like appearance.

Personal Item: One syringe containing a dose of his serum which will last about two weeks (if he doesn't lose control over his emotions before that and trigger a transformation). One of his first priorities upon reaching Zhautas will be to discuss the manufacture of more serum with Professor Quintalian.

Time Spent Across Multiverse:

Hank didn't spend all that long on Reverie Terminal, but it was long enough to make an impression. He arrived alongside a handful of familiar faces from home-- Charles and Raven, with Erik having been there a month already. Not only that, but he met two mutants from his future, Sonya and Rogue, as well as countless other people from different worlds or timelines (including some which were fictional on his Earth). Being an intellectual sort, Hank was quick to discuss the different theories for how they all could come from different worlds, so he is by now well acquainted with the concept of the multiverse.

Reverie Terminal was not a pleasant place to be. The station seemed to be deliberately messing with its occupants, whether through physical mutation via unexplained illnesses, psychological torture, or death and subsequent mysterious resurrection. The one good thing about Reverie Terminal was that Hank's serum (two doses of which mysteriously arrived under his pillow one morning) lasted two weeks per dose, rather than twenty-four hours. Even when the serum ran its course, however, the people there weren't frightened of his mutated appearance, and accepted him as one of their own. Just another oddity on a space station filled with humans, mutants, androids, vampires, trolls, and living gemstones.

All in all, Hank's personality changed very little during his time aboard Reverie Terminal. He is more multiverse-aware, as well as more existentially tired of being messed with. He also had one sexual encounter with a certain master of magnetism when neither of them were exactly in their right minds, that he still isn't sure whether or not to regret. He hasn't told anyone about it, though, and he's fairly certain Erik didn't either. Physically, Hank has a scar on his right forearm from where copper started growing underneath his skin, which is still visible.
