Hershel, or T-bone as some of his close friends call him, began life as a throw-away character I created one night while I was bored. I had the thought to create a completely outrageous look and pair it with a wholly ill-matched name, and THEN come up with a plausible explanation for both. The thing is though, that after playing him for awhile, I really began to like him! His character and story developed further and now I can't imagine parting with him, the big cuddly side of beef!

Personality
Despite his rather intimidating appearance, his basic nature has always been calm and playful. He is (was) a social man, though not terribly outgoing, and enjoys the company of others. Hershel sometimes operates on instinct alone, but his basic sense of right and wrong, or good and bad as he may refer to it, is strong and guides his actions even then.
Powers
Travel
Because of his massive strength, Hershel is able to leap great distances. This often causes some consternation among property owners and the Paragon City Road and Traffic department, since when he lands, he does so with great force.
Abilities
Weaknesses and Limitations
For a large, powerful, and (at least at one time) highly intelligent person, Hershel seems oddly distracted by bodies of water ranging in size from simple rain puddles to oceans. He can often be seen splashing about in the pools around Atlas Park, giggling with child-like glee, and has been known to stop in the middle of combat should he spy a pond, pool or fountain worth playing in.
Equipment
Hershel carries no equipment but the clothes he was wearing when he escaped the Crey facility, and the horns he unfortunately grew as part of the genetic experiment he was subjected to.
Character History
((From his in-game bio...))
Once a brilliant young geneticist with a loving family and great potential, an ambitious Hershel Rosenblat took a high-paying position with Crey Industries only to find his ambition in conflict with his morality. Refusing to further his own research into human evolution and skills enhancment once he discovered the evil purpose Crey had in mind for it, he found himself a subject of their dastardly experiments!
After months of injections and mutations, and retaining only the slightest bit of his once-great intellect, a basic instinct for freedom and a new, almost boundless bovine might, allowed him to escape.
Now, though physically a freakish example of genetic experiments gone wrong, his intellectual capacity returns a little each day without the regular dose of brain-supressing medication.
In his own words, "ExperimoooOoOOo, mOooOscaped!"
