He has been this way his entire life, having a large build and a very active lifestyle. From a young age he enjoyed sports, swimming and surfing and he has kept with the hobbies throughout his entire life. He has sun worn skin from spending almost every waking hour he could outdoors. In recent years he has gained even more weight and muscle, learning to kickbox and adapting his diet. He has always had a variety of scarring from his more severe accidents when he was growing up in Samoa, ranging from a damaged patch of skin on his shoulder from playing rugby to a deep scar on his calf from a sharp rock in the ocean.<br/><br/>Since his powers developed and he fell into a life of crime he has accrued a variety of more severe scars. He has been wounded by other evolved with particularly powerful powers such as energy projection, telekinesis and elemental projection. He has a deep burn scar on his chest, a deep cut wound down his cheek and a variety of other burn and cut scars over his arms, legs and torso. He also has clear signs of several broken bones. <br/><br/>Tane generally dresses casually and efficiently, having little real practical use for anything like body armour and not wanting to be seen dead wearing a suit. He can often be found in loose fitting, comfortable shirts or T-Shirts, similarly comfy and loose cargo shorts, lightweight footwear and shades. He drastically prefers warm weather to the cold, fighting to dress the same through any weather. If he does get too cold his powers will kick in, so he feels fully comfortable and at least safe regardless of impractical attire.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong> <br/><br/>Tane has a rough, tough persona and tends to stick to that regardless of who he's talking to. He doesn't care much about anyone else out there and he makes it very clear that whether he's known you two days or ten years he's not going to give a damn what you do or what happens to you. He is rude and abrasive if approached, but he will not go out of his way to harass others as he simply doesn't care. Although he is not above cat calling and wolf whistling girls at random, he doesn't see this as particularly bullying.<br/><br/>He shows little to no emotion, perhaps commenting on enjoying sporting success, good food or good drink. He will feel happy at success in his job but never show it, not least because success for him means a grim time for others. He hates discussing emotions or feelings with women, fighting his hardest to keep any relationship as purely physical and basic as possible. If challenged or pressed he is likely to lash out, yelling a little and then storming off to drink in a bad temper.<br/><br/> Despite his rough attitude he is very emotionally repressed, even to himself, reasonably unaware of his own depression. He has a minimal awareness of his own feelings, often flat out denying that he has them even to himself. He tends to distract himself with food, alcohol, work, sports, training or women in any order of preference. He feels no real regret over his job, carrying out hits without remorse or mercy. He feels that he is simply providing a service someone else would fulfill, and that the real evil and blame lies with the buyer. He has a very Darwinian social outlook, believing firmly in the survival of the fittest. He feels that the strongest, boldest and toughest deserve to be at the top of life, and that anyone weak, cowardly or frail will inevitably suffer the consequences of their nature. He finds those traits frustrating and even pathetic to witness or deal with, and has little sense of an urge to help the less fortunate.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong> <br/><br/>Tane was born into a relatively normal, functional and happy household in Apia, the capital city of Samoa on the Upolu island. He lived an active and energetic life through his childhood, becoming an outgoing and sporting teenager. His parents were proud of his positive outlook and healthy lifestyle. Eventually his athletic success grew into a potential sporting career and he was looking into American colleges, despite his love of the islands they lacked the infrastructure he was looking for. Eventually he managed to get together the money with the help of his parents and move to the United States. Once there it didn't take him too long to settle down, quickly growing accustomed and comfortable to college life in America. Once again his bold confidence and sporting nature made it easy to settle in and make friends. <br/><br/>As time went on he fell into a heavy partying lifestyle, going out constantly and slipping on his academic efforts. He drank most nights and even started getting into regular fights. He found he could enjoy fighting, almost as if he was proving himself every time he won. He was injured badly a few times but his heavy build and no surrender attitude generally brought him around to winning in the end. He flat out refused to stay down no matter what, leading to a handful of scars. His fighting grew from a rare occurrence to a daily one and he became well known as a street brawler, attracting a darker crowd than the sports team types he used to hang around with. <br/><br/>His life changed a great deal when he was offered a heavy deal, a stranger he'd never met before offered him an incredible amount of money to get into a specific fight and win. He simply couldn't turn down the payment, and so the next day he deliberately started a particularly violent bar fight and hospitalized the target easily. He felt little remorse, justifying his actions as simply providing a service. The real villain was the one who wanted it to happen, he said to himself. But that was naturally not the end of the incredibly slippery slope as he soon took on a life of crime. Everything from fights to intimidation to extortion so long as the price was right he'd carry out the work. In a few short years he turned from an innocent athlete to a rough thug, although despite everything he never turned cynical or grew cold hearted. <br/><br/>Once his powers developed he took his work onto a whole new level, becoming nigh unstoppable by any conventional means he turned from a street thug to a feared mercenary. He hadn't killed until he made a mistake, swinging his fist so hard he almost completely obliterated a target. Once again he didn't particularly enjoy it but neither did he feel bad for his actions, continuing to work and take money from whoever would bid highest. His work turned darker, now home invasions, murders and other extreme crimes weren't above his pay grade and he would do whatever it took to make that number in his bank accounts tick up. He paid little to no attention to serious issues in the world at large, really only caring about himself and his own issues and even then he ignored anything important. <br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong> Money, Brawling, Working out, Steak, Swimming, Surfing, Contact Sports, Drinking, muscle cars, Hot Weather, Women who lack morals, Strength, Toughness, Bravery, the outdoors<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Cowardice, Weakness, Laziness, Busy bodies, officials, strangers, Cold weather, 'stuck up' women, Slow Cars, Civilian life, normal work<br/><strong>Strengths:</strong> Physical strength, quick thinking, tough mindset, street smarts, kickboxing training<br/><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> Reckless attitude, heavy drinker, careless driver, Women, thoughtless, emotionally repressed, self centered <br/><strong>On's &amp; Off's:</strong> Vanilla<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Notes</span></strong><br/>-Very heavy drinker<br/>-Talented swimmer and surf boarder<br/>-Owns several muscle cars and motorbikes including a 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Pontiac GTO and a 1970 Plymouth Hemi Barracuda. <br/>-Practiced in martial arts mostly on his own<br/>-Travels to work, never stays in one place long and keeps his possessions in hidden lockups in various places.<br/>-Loves to listen to classic rock (George Thorogood &amp; The Destroyers, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Powers</span></strong><br/><br/><strong>Hyper Evolution (10):</strong> Apex is capable of evolving his body at an extremely supernatural rate. This is not a conscious choice or active decision he can make, it is more akin to a survival instinct and subconscious reaction. This power will function fully even if he isn't in control of his body, or is unconscious, so long as he is alive it will remain active. The major flaw he suffers from is an inability to predict his own abilities, and a lack of a way to practice with or learn to optimally employ his evolutions as well as the temporary nature of his adaptions which can last for several hours but never longer. Their random nature currently still evades him, he has nearly no mastery of his powers.<br/><br/>So far his power has allowed him to evolve:<br/><br/><strong>-Enhanced brain process and reaction times<br/></strong>In order for Apex's powers to activate he uses a very advanced subconscious reaction. As long as he can in some way possibly detect the thing he needs to react to his body will be capable of forming the appropriate helpful adaption to deal with it. He can react in well under a fraction of a second, infinitely faster than a human can possibly react, faster than the speed of sound. However he is unaware of this process and incapable of controlling it, it simply detects the issues and forms the appropriate response on its own.<br/><br/><strong>-Hyper Dense Muscle Tissue<br/></strong>Apex can adapt hyper dense muscle tissue in a variety of situations. Primarily while swinging, attacking or fighting his physical strength will become greatly enhanced. His maximum possible strength is unknown but he has yet to meet a real physical challenge, if anything he tends to overshoot the force he uses. He can easily throw or lift cars and tear through concrete or steel with ease. He can also use this strength to run extremely quickly, up to sprinting at 80mph with his highly dense body allowing him to absorb the kinetic impacts. He can leap extreme distances, up to reaching the top of a two story house with a small run up, and easily withstand the heavy landing.<br/><br/><strong>-Hyper Resilient Skin, Bone, Flesh<br/></strong>Apex can cause his Skin, Bone, Flesh or any other body part to grow extremely dense in an instant. He can use this to deflect almost any physical impact, letting him be effectively bulletproof, borderline invulnerable to most conventional ballistic weaponry or explosives and even withstand extreme kinetic impacts with little to no noticeable damage. Small slashing injuries from a knife or dagger will struggle to pierce his skin, a large sword will cause him small, minor cuts and something as powerful as an industrial saw will cause him heavy, deep cuts but couldn't slice his bone or cut through his limbs. He is impervious to low caliber guns, a mid range rifle will cause him small, highly localised bruising and minor bleeding and a high powered sniper rifle or shotgun can cause him heavy pain, more severe bruising and break his skin to cause bleeding.<br/><br/><strong>-Bone plates/spikes<br/></strong>Apex is capable of developing bony plates and spikes from his skin for defense or attack. When an extreme impact is heading towards him he will rapidly shift to shield himself with a very thick layer of hyper dense bony plates to absorb the majority of the impact. This evolution takes him a little longer than his hyper resilient skin does, so he cannot use it against an impact he doesn't expect or anything that happens faster than he can possibly react. When fighting for a long time particularly against a target vulnerable for puncture wounds he will grow large spikes from his arms or other body parts to use as weapons. These are extremely sharp, capable of easily piercing solid steel. He can launch these spikes from his body at extreme speeds, roughly equivalent to a bullet, the size and velocity of these projectiles can easily kill a human, pierce most body armour and cause heavy damage to vehicles. <br/><br/><strong>-Acidic Spit/Blood<br/></strong>When faced with armour or barriers highly resilient to kinetic impacts and piercing attacks Apex can develop highly acidic spit, which he will attempt to use to melt or structurally damage the target to either destroy it or make it more vulnerable. This acid can easily melt through steel, most conventional armour and defenses. He can also adapt his blood to the chemical makeup of this acid, which he will do if he is cause to bleed heavily in an attempt at self defense.<br/><br/><strong>-Venomous Fangs<br/></strong>When faced with an extremely large of physically resilient target Apex can adapt his teeth to inject a highly potent venom. This is more toxic to humans and animals than any toxins found in the wild, more than capable of stopping a human heart in minutes with just a few drops and even able to kill animals the size of cattle very rapidly. This adaption will only take place if he needs to deal with a target he has difficulty physically injuring.<br/><br/><strong>-Sharpened teeth/claws<br/></strong>Apex will evolve highly sharpened, dense and tough teeth and claws if his target proves initially resilient to pure kinetic force. After a relentless attempt to bludgeon a target he will attempt to use these teeth and claws to cause lacerations or pierce any resilient armour.<br/><br/><strong>-Gills<br/></strong>Apex will adapt Gills almost instantly if he is underwater and become instantly easily able to breath underwater indefinitely.<br/><br/><strong>-Accelerated Healing Factor<br/></strong>One of Apex's strongest abilities is his extremely accelerated healing factor. While he cannot predict or control most of his other evolution's this one is primarily predictable as it will almost always activate upon being injured. He can regenerate extremely quickly from severe injures, cuts and small bruising will heal over in seconds. He can recover from large cuts and heavy bruises in under a minute, severe physical injures like deep wounds or broken bones within ten minutes. He doesn't yet know what it would take to put him down but he has proven incredibly resilient so far.<br/><br/></span>
