Background
Once Apon a Time
Rett was born new years eve right as the time changed over from 1983 to 1984, managing to be born in the new year by 3 seconds, a healthy baby boy there hadnt been any problems with the bith or the child. At least so it seemed at first, blood testing done at birth showed his genetic makeup was slighty diffrent from normal peoples, he was a mutant, the next step in human evolution, his power manafesting even at only a hour old as the prick of the needle vanished without even a drop of blood welling out or a bruise to show for it. Dispite his diffrences Rett's parents loved him deeply and treated him like all the rest of their children, doing their best to keep his unsual body a screct from others as well as from Rett himself! Still in the turblence of youth the discovery of his unsual ablity came quickly to him, as did the immense plesure he recived when his body healed itself, as his system flooded him with endorphines any time he healed in a apparent effort to control the strain it was on him, it was during these early years he began to associate pain with pleasure, and as any youth who discovered a new way to feel really good would do, descided to share this along with his friends, the results however where tragic. The news would report the deaths of two of Rett's closest friends as suscide when they were found with their arms slit open to the bone, having bled to death, Rett himself was never known to have been at the center of this having been the one to convince them to do it in a effort to heal like he did, however other children who had been friends with Rett and the departed knew.. and their vengence was swift, a ass kicking here, name calling there.. everything in their power was done to torment Rett for the deaths of their friends, it isnt known just how long it went on before he snapped, but Snap he did, one day bringing a kitchen knife to school he stabbed two of his tormenters to death in the middle of class, crying the whole time. Convicted of murder he was sentenced to serve a term of jail time untill he was 18 years old in the Juvinel prision system. 9 years behind bars dose alot to a child, inside of Juvie he learned from other young toughs how to fight, how to hate, how to hurt and steal, by the time he was released he had become a professional crimanal.
Second Chances
His family having long since disowned him and moving on to another part of the U.S. where they wouldnt be reconized, he took it apon himself to provide in the only way he knew how now, Purse snatching, mugging, theft, he used the time honored tools of the trade, avoiding gangs while carving out his own little nitch in Kings Row, and if somone wanted to say somthing to him... well then, they would find out quickly he knew how to fight just as well as he could pick a lock, his minor regentive powers served him well then, giving him a leg up on other toughs as well as the police, after all, a few hours and he could heal a bullet wound, they couldn't, yet the good times couldnt last, dispite constently moving around and changing the locations of his thefts and assults, he finally was caught after 5 years of activity by the hero Overdrive while preforming his most daring attempt yet as he tried to rob the first nashional bank in Kings Row, sentenced to 20 years (apparently they had descided using a keyboard to beat the tar out of somone was assult with a deadly weapon, likwise the judge didnt apprechate it when Rett had descided to take a leak in the courtroom as part of his own defense) Thrown in Zig, he quickly fell into pace with other inmates, joining the swarm of unreconized faces. It wasnt untill Arachnos pulled their daring rescue of the destined ones that he once again found his will restored.
The Spree
Free from Zig, Rett did the only thing that made sense, he fled as fast as he could from arachnos and into the tender arms of the mercnary known as Matthew Burke, with Matthews guidence Rett discovered the fighting edge he had honed in Zig becoming sharper and sharper, and by the time he left the mercnarys service, he had found his new calling within the rogue Isles, turning his talent for breaking and entering, his healing ablitys and fighting talents into a business he began to sell himself out as a Troubleshooter for the murky type of problems various people in the Isles had, while at first things were slow as his reptuation grew, he found more and more jobs and the money began to roll in, by the time he established his new home in the Crush of Sharkhead Isle, his rep was gold. Yet the nail that stands out gets hammered all to easyly, as Rett had managed to make himself a nucience to groups like the Family and Longbow, enough that both sides began a small bidding war for his head as he discovered a taste for murder that caused the deaths of hundreds of longbow agents active in the Isles as well as mutiple members of the Mooks, including one of their Made Men, with both sides gunning for him Rett dicovered his ablitys werent up to par to get him though and so he descided on a desprate move, breaking into a Crey research building he went about trying to find any super tricks to get his fat out of the fire, fate however intervined and once again rett found himself caught, this time by one of the protectors of Crey, their super powered lap dogs, rather then facing jail time however, he instend found himself thrust into a hell that has changed him forever.
The Monster
Crey researchers discovered somthing intristing about Rett's mutation, firstly that he was in fact not in possession of a super healing ablity, and secondly that he was bearly using 5% of his full ablity. It seemed what had never been known before was that Rett was in fact controlling his bodys cells without knowing it, causing them to increase and change into other cells to replace missing tissue and the like to make it as if he had never been hurt to begin with, and had been using it purly on instinct to simply heal himself quicker then normal! With this knowledge crey began testing to unleash the full power of Rett's mutation, carfully documenting the whole thing and taking constent genetic samples to note the changes and attempt to replicate them, it wasnt long before they managed to crack his genetic code and forever changed the one time two bit crook, turning him into a true monster, one that would escape their control, and add a new name to the list of those offering money for its head. unleashed back on the Rogue Isles Rett quickly restablished himself among his old contacts, and finally gave in to his destiney as one of the destined ones, turning to Arachnos for the minimal protection he could garner from them agenst Crey, recrent rumors suggest he has managed to arrange a even larger deal with the Archanos top brass for full protection and a look the other way to his activitys, what he gave them in exchange is unknown, but it is known he has been spotted with one of the heads of the orgization Mako, and has started to wear the shark mans colors...
Powers
Rett's power is at once both highly simple yet amazingly complicated, as he is able to freely control every cell in his body, down to the sub atomic level, allowing him not only the ablity to heal himself, but to change and warp and mutate himself however he desires, while his power is only usable on himself, its sheer flexablity and compleate control is no less powerful for the limitation. he has grown fond of causing bony spurs to errupt from his body, using his own digestive jusices amped up to a caustic state beyond that of science fiction acid as a weapon while making his bone density 10 times that of a normal human, making him amazingly sturdy and tough while making his bones harder to break then foot thick steel beams, he has also shown a fondness for overclocking his bodys own reaction time and reflexes, allowing him to fight with a speed that is hard to match, as well as altering his body to a super light frame while causing all his weight to shift to muscles in his legs allowing him to sprint faster then a car, most frightenly he has proven difficult to kill, surviving beheadings, organ removle, blasts of various energys and other such things, simply regrowing whatever is cut off, this is caused by the fact his mind is no longer located within his brain, instend his full chonchises is sprwad to every cell within his body, while this nromally lowers his reaction times to most stimulus, it also means as long as even a singel cell of his survives, he will one day return.
Recently he has been seen tapping some sort of unknown Arcane powersource and shaping magical energys into attacks, the source of this power has been suspected to be Captian Mako as the attacks are simlar to the Captians own, but so far no one knows the truth of it, what is known is while he once lacked any sort of magical aura, he now radiates a cold bone chilly hungrey aura of foul magic.
Weaknesses
While Rett's body control makes him nearly indestructable, he has discovered he is far from invenurable, as he is able to be wounded as easyly as any other person, and while the healing process feels good to him, it dose not negate the pain of the assult, further while he has shown the ablity to regrow anything removed and even return from the dead, the time it takes him to do so varys from what sort of wound he has suffred from, witch can have horrable results when your foe's know that just because you stopped moving, dosent mean your not done yet.
Further while more sturdy then a normal person, electricty is frightenly effective agenst rett, the pain of wounds recived seems to be great enough to counter balance the plesure he feels to make him avoid such things when he can, further it seems to impare he regentive ablitys, requiring large amounts of time to heal even simple wounds compared to his normal healing times.
Unknown to Rett, while his body is immune to bacteria and virus's due to its ablity to simply asorbe and change the invader into a harmless part of him or overwhelm it, a Virus coded to his genetic signature can kill him with frighting speed, even more worrysome, althoughhe dose not know it, Crey is in possession of just such a virus. FInally with his mind sprwead out to every cell in his body allows him to survive most anything done to him, it also slows him greatly as he must litarly focus every part of his being on his task at hand, making suprises hard for him to react to and giving him a general stupid feel as he takes his time when talking or working.
Beyond his physical limitations Rett also suffers his own social ones, his Red skin and hight (not to menchion his clothing and rep) make it difficult for him to hide his location for long, while this wouldnt seem to be a handycap normally, the Mooks, Longbow, and Crey have all quietly made it clear there is a large reward for any information on his location, or even better, Rett himself.
