Personal Details.
Name:
Saren Kroh
Code/Nick name:
002, The Guillotine
Age:
Saren's actual age is unknown, just like the others, but his natural body has always kept that youthful appearance as if he was still 19.
Gender:
Saren is obviously male.
Powers
In addition to his enhanced physical attributes - Enhanced physical strength, speed, reflexes, endurance and durability- his specialties lie within the powers of shape-shifting and teleportation. To the government, he is the perfect weapon out of the survivors, and because of this, they will stop at nothing to "retrieve" him. Below is a breakdown of his powers:
Shape-shifting
At a molecular level, Saren is able to reorganize the carbon atoms within his body, as well as being able to change his cellular structure at will, which allows him to "evolve" his body into various modifications, giving him an edge in combat. Aside from the slight increase of regeneration associated with cellular manipulation (but still weaker than that of Six's), below are the current forms that Saren can take on while in combat:
·Talon Mode
When active, Saren's arms shift into three-fingered, one-thumbed talon-like appendages that can used to shred flesh and bone, allowing dismemberment of human-sized enemies with ease, however instantly giving away his position, as no normal being can change his arms into weapons.
·Glaive Mode
Saren's right arm generates a single, tri-edged throwing weapon made up of his "biomass". Just like his guillotine claws, this single "weapon" can be used for ranged rending of flesh and bone. The perfect tool in Saren's opinion, the glaive had helped him out more times than most, even getting him out of sticky situations.
·Tank mode
Other than his teleportation abilities, Saren's Tank form is his only defensive combat ability, where he reorganizes the carbon molecules within his body to form an armored skin that's as hard as diamond, able to deflect most small-arms fire with ease. However, going into this mode not only drains Saren of his sanity (and what's left of his imperfect humanity), it also robs him of his speed and reflexes, making him roughly as fast as the average person, but a hidden boon offsets this handicap with a heavy increase of strength and endurance. This boost of power is due to the fact that Saren is unable to utilize any of his other forms, since it requires the majority of his body's carbon molecules to be restructured into an armor-like form.
Teleportation
Saren is able to "blink", or the ability to near-instantaneously change his position from one place to another without physically occupying the space in between his current location and his destination. In simpler terms, he has a short-range teleport which he can utilize to quickly move from place to place. The limitations of such power is that he can only "blink" a particular amount of times before self-damage sets in, such as the very biomass of his body being torn apart from sudden and highly accelerated movement, and he can only teleport himself and one other human-sized object/organism within a set range. However, unlike his shape-shifting abilities, the use of this ability doesn't damage his psyche, and thus regarded as a relatively "safe" power.
Limitations and Weaknesses
There are quite a few limitations to Saren using his abilities. The foremost limitation is that because he has yet to master his shape-shifting abilities: overusing them will kill him. Each time he changes his biomass into one of his three modes doesn't actually shorten his life span, per se, but it will often destabilize his body and psyche, effectively killing his humanity little by little. The first few symptoms of this is already apparent, starting with his blood darkening to a near-black hue, then progressing to where his flesh is taking on a metallic silver hue.
Then there's the teleportation issues. If he "blinks" too many times, usually more than what his body can allow (fluctuating on a daily basis, depending on his stamina) or if he moves too far, his body will start to break down, beginning with nosebleeds and bloodloss. The maximum distance he can teleport is roughly 300 meters per day, and Saren is often required to mentalling keep track of how much of this distance he had travelled through this form of movement. Another drawback to teleportation is that there is often two small rifts in time-space that opens up, one at the destination, and the other at Saren's former location, and can be predictable if people know where to look. There's also the miscellaneous drawback that's placed on people that teleports with him, where if they have not personally teleported before, they will be exposed to a one-time "teleportation sickness", symptoms ranging from vomiting to limited expulsion of bodily fluids, such as blood.
General Description
Many have nearly dropped dead at first sight of Saren, and many more have shot their guns upon a closer look at him.
It is what happens when one is a superb weapon. Bodies are left in your wake, and many others want you dead on first sight. It should be noted though that not a few have found him ravishingly beautiful.
Standing at a solid 6' with spiked, black hair, gleaming lightning-blue eyes as sharp as knives, prominent cheekbones framing a sharp face, and an exotic, richly tanned skin tone, he fulfills the desire of countless women.
That said, consequently, the "Guillotine" dresses ordinarily casual. Demin jeans and a black leather jacket, gray hoodie underneath, open to reveal a white collared shirt, sans tie. Spiffy black shoes tap along the ground he walks upon. His right arm is perfect evidence of his "evolution", his flesh already turning silver, with black veins reaching outwards from his shoulder.
However, do not let his overall "harmless" appearance fool you. It is nothing more than a mask, hiding a shadowy, looming aura of pure terror if you want to call it that...

Personality.
Fears
There's only one fear that Saren has: Losing control of himself and injuring the others, especially Alice.
Pet Peeves:
He's pissed that he doesn't have the time to develop his powers, even though they might end up killing him in the end.
Habits
Generally outgoing, Saren's always on the move, whether it's to stay one step ahead of the government at all times, or because he simply finds the current place boring.
Likes
While he's not exactly narcissistic, thinking that he's better than everybody else, he does love to get attention, though this often backfires, due to using his powers often attracts attention from local authorities.
Dislikes
Using his shape-shifting powers, as each time he uses them, he loses his humanity little by little, and he knows this.
Traits
There's something about Saren that just makes people feel safe when he's around. Being reactive in nature, Saren has become able to adapt to almost any obstacle, almost always more focused onto his surroundings.
Talents
He is very unpredictable. He thinks, and plans, outside the box, often throwing his pursuers off his trail until he lets them back onto his "game" of Cat and Mouse. He is a counter specialist, meaning that he would always fight defensively, either deflecting or dodging punches and close range attacks, his reactive nature giving him options of how to screw around with his opponents.
General Behavior
Some call him insane, others call him unique. Mysterious, yet specifically calculating in his actions, he often acts more of a machine than an actual person, always thinking outside the box, always devising ways to disrupt his opponents' tactics and whatnot. He's been buying time for everybody but Alice and himself, as the more he makes the government waste time on him, the less they are devoting to the other four. He knows the government is after him. He knows that they consider him their "perfect weapon", and he's ready to play a deadly game.
