Name: Mammon
Age: 24
Height: 6"5
History:
Ever since he was a young child, Mammon was bullied and pushed around for being a weak runt, usually getting his face rubbed in dirt or having his emotions tugged around like strings. When he was 16, he ran from home and situated himself in a city far away. Word came around that volunteers were being sought out for a project of some sort, and having nowhere else to go and monetary compensation being offered, he decided to step up and volunteer. It was soon revealed that the project centered around a chemical called the Ubermensch Substance, which the volunteers (400 of them) were exposed to for test-runs. Some subjects reacted very well to the chemical (Mammon himself included, as he had grown an entire foot in height over the course of three-four months), and gained enhanced strength and speed along with a heightened pain tolerance. Most, however...didn't do so well. With the deaths that followed from failed test subjects, the project was announced as closed. However, the project was not to be released to the public, and the administrators of the facility at which the volunteers were held decided to systematically cull the population. Eventually, the secret was uncovered and tension boiled over; a full-blown riot broke out which resulted in a large majority of the 300 subjects that were left escaping. Five years after, at age 24, Mammon is perhaps one of the last 100 or so "Ubermensches", as the subjects have been dubbed, to still be alive after the administrators have been steadily picking them off. However, this fact doesn't bother him as he roams the streets of Void with nary a care in the world.
Personality:
Arrogant and self-centered, Mammon is a guy who seems to always seek out trouble. Often quick to engage others, he'll get quite flustered and irritated if someone manages to dish his insults right back at him, and will very likely resort to physical means to fight back. He gets along most with people that just simply agree with him and stroke his ego (which are far and in-between). He doesn't think in hindsight most of the time, primarily just looking for the next thrill. Under the arrogance and overconfidence, however, lies a pitiful self-esteem that lingers from his childhood and the very back of his subconscious. As a result, his ego, while quite large, is as easily bruised as a rotten piece of fruit.
Abilities:
Due to the exposure from the Ubermensch Substance, Mammon is very strong with a remarkable tolerance to pain. On top of that, he's infuriatingly fast, which gives him the illusion of being stronger than he already is; what seems like one punch could very likely be two or three in rapid succession. When his blood pressure spikes to a certain degree (usually through sheer rage), the chemical in his body becomes concentrated and amplifies his physical capabilities, giving the skin a greenish hue and veins a slight glow akin to radioactivity. However, it
does come with repercussions; the lows after this stage hit quite hard, usually with horrible migraines that can last for hours and almost overwhelming fatigue.
