Name: Tad
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Occupation: college student, government research project
Species: ??
Appearance: He is tall, nearly six foot, with shaggy black hair and pale skin. His eyes are totally black and in the dark they glow. He's quite lean but has some muscle tone from running (for the endorphins). When his skin is punctured, it momentarily turns black and then closes in itself like somebody poured plaster into the hole.
Personality: He is easily critical of his surroundings, especially during change. In high school, he was quite happy with his friends, although there were few who would accept his eyes (he just told them it was a genetic disorder). He hates being different and continues to feel different, even when surrounded with mutants like him. He always feels distant and disconnected from the human race in general for reasons he can't fathom. Tad is willing to help people and knows hurting them is wrong, but he really can't bring himself to care.
Strengths: He cannot be hurt with objects from this dimension. If an object from the other plane of existence falls into his life, someone can fashion it as a weapon and actually do damage to him. He has only twice been physically hurt. He's gay but keeps it a secret; he doesn't want to be any more different than he already is.
Weaknesses: He occasionally has headaches that can leave him bedridden for days. Endorphins from sex or exercise help them, as well as being able to see the stars. Painkillers have no effect on him.
History: His mother swears that she had him normally, but she told him in confidence when she was drunk once that she was barely even pregnant with him... One night she felt something collide into her and the next thing she knew she was giving birth. She's managed to convince herself otherwise, but Tad knows she's lying to herself and everyone. He feels like he fell out of some rip in time or something and she was part of his vessel, and that he's only 'playing' human. He gets intense headaches on occasion but can't do much about them except try and prevent them; painkillers don't work, the only thing that does is endorphins and being able to see the stars. And when scientists try to take blood samples (which they can only do rarely, depending on his body's 'mood') it's only human blood about a third of the time. The rest of the time it's just random proteins or unidentifiable goop. He thinks his body is just attempting to imitate his surroundings. He also gets the feeling that he has some sort of untapped potential but of course has no idea what it is.
