Name: Gerrek Zig
Aliases: The Tank, The Red Dragon
Race: Alien
Sex: Male
Age: 40
Aura color: White
Appearance:Gerrek is a large individual in terms of height and weight. He stands at seven and a half feet tall and weighs three hundred and sixty-one pounds. His bone structure is thick and sturdy, providing part of the reason behind his body weight. The other reason for his weight is his muscular physique. His muscles are not precisely toned, though, so he does not look like he was "cut like a diamond." His skin is tough, leathery, and red in color. His body is humanoid in shape, but with two exceptions. He has a four foot long tail that is twelve inches wide at the base starting at his lower back just above his hind quarters. The second is his facial structure. Gerrek has a long, wide snout with an almost squared jaw. His nostrils are on the upper jaw near the tip of the snout, but on the side of the snout instead of the end. His canines are much longer than normal on top and bottom. Gerrek's ears are long and pointed diagonally upward and behind his head. Gerreks eyes are pale yellow and have five smaller pupils instead of a single larger one. The pupils of each eye are arranged in the iris to form a dot-to-dot outline of a pentagon.
The standard outfit for Gerrek on a daily basis is the basic style white and brown battle armor with a gray bodysuit cut with short sleeves and knee-length leggings underneath. It is complete with white boots and gloves.
Attacks/Skills:
Bukujutsu - Basic ability to use one's energy for flight.
Barrier - Forms a defensive bubble around the user by expanding and hardening their energy around them.
Flash Sear - Using his special ability, Gerrek can unleash a wide, tall cone of ki enhanced flames in front of him. Because of the nature of the attack it has fairly short range
Starting Planet: Vegeta
Bio: Gerrek was born on a planet that is often considered a galactic hub by space-farers. The planet is commonly referred to as Arconia. It is uncertain what race originally inhabited the planet because so many have come to find residence there. With so many difference races making their home on a single planet, the genepool is quite diverse. It is likely one of the few places in the universe where someone like Gerrek could exist peacefully. Unfortunately the planet was already one of many in a galactic empire ruled by a race known as Icers, or, more commonly, Changlings.
Still, the planet offerred little to no resistance agaisnt its unchosen rulers. Because of this it was fairly peaceful. There was poverty running rampant for those not directly in the employ of the empire because those who were on the empire's payroll were granted access to better technology and given more leniency on their taxes. It was rough for most people who actually lived on the planet. It was a recreation spot for soldiers of the empire. On the rare occasions that they did get breaks, they came to Arconia for top class accomodations, food, and countless other pleasures and frivolities.
Gerrek's family was one of the impoverished. They lived outside of the larger cities in the surrounding deserts. They got by on handmaking various household products like paper, ink, soap, and even clothes and selling them to anyone who would buy them. Gerrek never knew his father, though. It had always been him and his mother. When he was younger she told him stories of her life in the cities. She never really explained why she had to leave that life behind, and she always seemed upset when he asked her. Eventually he stopped asking and just assumed it was painful for her to talk about.
By the time Gerrek was of age he was easily stronger than even some of the empire's soldiers. And that was without training. Even he questioned how this could be. And he questioned even further his own appearance because he shared very little of it with his mother. Having not known his father, he had nothing else to go off of and surmised that his other traits were from his father. His assumptions were correct, of course, but they stretched farther than just his appearance. He didn't know it, but Gerrek was part Changling himself. Only a small portion of his heritage was such, and he'd gained that blood from his father's side of the family. This mystery would remain lost to him, though, as his mother would not tell him the real reason she had to leave the cities.
Gerrek had grown tired of living the way he and his mother did, so he ventured into one of the cities himself. He began to take on jobs there as a mercenary, doing lower level work for the Empire. They didn't know who he was, but they knew he was a cut above most in terms of strength. They put him to work doing all manners of things. He was having a difficult time with the more combat oriented work at first because he had no formal training. His natural ability kept him going, though, and his battle experience grew quickly.
He was overjoyed when his first paycheck came in. He quickly delivered it to his mother. She was uncertain of how to respond to his choice of working for the empire, but she couldn't turn down the improvement it made on their lifestyle. Once the cash flow was steady enough, he began branching his work out to other planets. He did guard duty or minor law enforcement on numerous planets throughout the galaxy. He is currently on planet Vegeta wondering where his next contract might take him.
Zeni: 200
Items: Space Pod(One time use)
Transformations
Shear Power - Gerrek's first transformation is simple in function and form. His aura shifts from white to something of a transparent smoke, and ripples off his body as such. It gives a x4 Multiplier.
NOTE: I am aware that this isn't accounted for in the character application here, or even in the race thread concerning aliens. I would like to make a special request, though. Seeing as I used Gerrek before in an RP run by Boliko/TheRevolution and Ryouken, I'd like to see if Gerrek's special ability from that site would be acceptable for him to have here as well.
Special Ability: Gerrek was born with a unique network of vessels, similar to the circulatory system, networked throughout his body connected to his pores. He has a second organ in his abdomen next to his stomach, as well as being connected to his stomach with a path that flows to and from the stomach. These vessels connect to this secondary organ, which serves as a storage unit. He can absorb liquids of all kinds, be it water, corrosive acid, poison, salves, etc. through his pores or by ingesting it and store it in this secondary organ essentially unharmed. Likewise his skin is resistant to acids, so the absorbing process does not cause him any harm. This ability has proven very useful for Gerrek both in and out of combat. He was able to store excess water for long journeys through the desert with this, He earned two of his aliases with this ability as he was able to drink every other bar patron under the table because he secretly stored the alcohol, and later used said alcohol, along with some of his own energy, to "breathe fire" and flash cook a few faces with flammability enhanced alcohol when some of the patrons got unruly because of their loss. Normal Fire wouldn't be so effective against galactic caliber warriors, so Gerrek learned to enhance the liquids he's stored with his energy to make them more potent. He can't change their properties or add new properties this way, but he can enhance properties that the stored liquids already have. Storing Alcohol has become his favorite way to use this ability in keeping with his aliases. Although he never told anyone that he could 'store' his drink. It takes him two posts to absorb a liquid through his pores. One if he ingests the liquid.
