Personality

Personality: Terry is a cool and laid-back individual, who never really talks about himself. He is more of a listener, having grown up without care, an orphan of the streets. His life alone has strengthened him mentally and made him more sensitive to others feelings. There’s a lot Terry knows, but often time he ignores any questions concerning Salvation. It is a subject he refuses to discuss.

Background: Terry is actually from the future and was there when the super heroes were spirited away before his eyes. Every person he knew was taken by the organization, and ever since, Terry has been afraid to use his powers even in secret. He is a nomad in apocalyptic-America, and tends to move whenever there’s trouble. He often tries to avoid resistances.

Equipment

Abilities:
1.Strength
2.Toughness
3.Regeneration

Powers:
1. Elasticity – As his alias says, Terry’s body is very supple. Like rubber, he can stretch great distances, bend, twist, inflate, deflate, flatten, spring, roll into a ball, etc. The ability to some seems rather silly, but to Terry, it’s a blast. His body can deflect mass calibers and with his Toughness ability, it can’t be cut.
2. Indestructible – Terry has the ability to compress his molecules so tight until he is completely solid and impenetrable. The downside is, he can’t move while in this impenetrable state.
3. Rapid Adaptation – When Terry’s body has been exposed to different powers, weapons, and magics, the first time he is exposed to the brutal attacks he takes damage, but when he recovers, he is immune.

Weakness: Magic and power attacks.

Terry Claiborne's Story

A wad of bubblegum was lodged in the pocket of his left cheek, being nursed of what sweet flavor was left. The aviator goggles that veiled his eyes glistened under the bar light as he stood within the doorway, a steel baseball bat in his left hand and a grocery bag full of empty liquor bottles, chip bags, and an assortment of cake wrappers. His clothes smelt stale. The sort of stale that clay gave off when wet. Oh, he was dirty all right. Dirt even lined his fingernails. It was the dirt that covered a drifter. Setting the bat next to the door, the stranger strode further in, heading to the nearest trash receptacle where he deposited exactly that: trash. He turned toward the bar and approached one of the inviting stools, grasping the side of his goggles with his palm to raise them up onto his crown where thin, bleached layers of hair rolled backwards to splay like grass behind them. There was a fresh and moist area of skin about his eyes outlining where his goggles once sat as those crisp-blue eyes lowered

to the napkins conveniently placed on the counter. Rolling the gum between his molars once, he reached out to grasp the napkin and brought it to his mouth where he birthed the old wad of Trident. He heard it kept a white smile and having been traveling for so long, and not knowing when one would see another toothbrush again, he was convinced of anything. Rolling the gum further into the napkin, he tossed it in a wrapped up ball behind his back into the trashcan. When the bartender came around on his rounds, he ordered a glass of water, an Irish cream liqueur, and a Sprite. All three flavors would do his palette fine. The three tumblers were set before him, one tumbler he found unnecessary but he wasn't about to argue. He slid onto the stool and brought the liqueur to his mouth. Milk and honey, like paradise.
