Name/Nickname:
Ryan Wahlberg
Age:
34
Gender:
Male
Height:
6'1"
Weight:
241 lbs
Alignment:
Lawful Neutral
Affliction:
Were-Scorpion (Club)
Nationality:
American
Occupation:
Unemployed at the moment, but not totally poor.
Skills and Abilities:
At the height of the midday sun, when humidity diminishes, Ryan's body absorbs sunlight and transforms him into a were-scorpion. This creature is bipedal, and has two massive arms that end in scorpion claws. His skin has a very thick exoskeleton that makes him very difficult to injure, and a very long semi-prehensile tail with a large stinger. The stinger injects a paralyzing venom that has put more than one person into the hospital thanks to a nervous system shutdown.
In both human and scorpion modes he possesses a superhuman strength and durability, and the capacity to scale rough-textured walls with ease. He cannot cling to ceilings. He also has enhanced senses letting him see very far very quickly, and pick up even the tiniest vibrations.
Weaknesses:
Ryan cannot swim in either form. Ironic since he moved to a coastal town. He is also forced to eat almost constantly to maintain his metabolism. His eyes are hypersensitive to changes between light and dark. Cold temperatures cause him to hibernate.
Relationships:
Keri Adams - His ex-girlfriend.
Personality:
Ryan plays the cheerful and tough card around friends, and uses his wisdom to appear more significant. As his zodiac is scorpio, he's somewhat of an envious and manipulative person. He's a very independent person which does well for his eccentric demeanor.
Appearance:
Fairly tall and muscular, with short brown hair and dark eyebrows. He has very yellowish green eyes that seem almost too bright to be natural. He wears very stretchy clothes, usually a spandex shirt and stretch blue jeans, as the transformations are taxing on his body. Scorpion form is plated all along the front and back so he keeps his clothing elastic to give him enough time to remove it if a change happens. His shoulder width while transformed is easily 3 and a half feet across, and he's usually 8-9 feet tall. If you've ever played Spider-Man Shattered dimensions, the 2099 Scorpion is pretty close to how I imagine his stance would be. His face however would be considerably more human looking.
History:
Ryan was touring Egypt with a few friends, including his girlfriend back in 2004. While spending a day on the town, they finished off the events by visiting a museum dedicated to the Egyptian pantheon. He and his girlfriend snuck off the tour to make love in the back room, and hopefully reconcile a slightly ambiguous relationship. In doing so, they desecrated a heiroglyphic tablet dedicated to the goddess Serket. Ryan even accidentally broke off a corner. Security started getting suspicious of the rendevous, so the couple quickly departed back to the tour.
Later that night, at the hotel, a manifestation of Serket entered the couple's room disguised as a room service employee. She tossed a canopic jar directly at Ryan which broke open and released hundreds of scorpions upon the two. Ryan's girlfriend was stung to death while Ryan was merely paralyzed as he watched and felt a huge, black, emperor scorpion burrow its way under his flesh. He was taken to the hospital, but no trace of the creature was found in his body.
Mourning the loss of his woman, Ryan went back to America only to be ostracized by his girlfriend's family. Then, in the middle of a California day, he began changing under the heat of the sun into a hulking monster. He became very reclusive, and spent several years trying to understand his curse. Eventually he moved to Bridgeport due to its foggy and coastal climate where he could be relatively safe from changing every single day.
Anything Else:
"Yeah, so what?"
