Bios:
Non-OC Gormim
Alex Mercer- (this is for the people who don't know what Prototype is)
Inversion/control name: Hirasequilon.
Alex is the main character from the video game Prototype. In the game, Alex is the result of a virus that broke down his dead body and reconstructed it. As a result, the virus is under the belief that it is the original, but later learns otherwise. My version of Alex has lived for several millennia already, having been proven impossible to kill. Alex has spent most of his existence traveling from one universe to another, picking up various skills and powers to use, adding to his already enormous storehouse of abilities. However, he normally keeps himself severely restricted, having taken a leaf from Kenpachi Zaraki's book, in order to not completely overwhelm his opponents in the first few seconds of battle. Alex is a member of the Gormim (see below), with his symbol being on his tongue; the infinity is formed by a double helix (DNA). When Alex became a member of the Gormim, due to the unique nature of his powers, he was designated to be in a house of his own. Though he was content to be in a place where he belonged, he could not help but feel slightly jealous of the other houses. While they had the potential to recruit others into their houses, he was left on his own because of how different his powers were; there was no one else who he could recruit to join him in his own small family. Because of this, he left the Scattered Foundations, vowing to not return until he either found or made someone into a fellow Blacklight. The other Gormim have not seen him since, though Storia is aware of his whereabouts. However, throughout his travels, Alex has been collecting powers, souls and techniques with the intention of sharing them with the Gormim, should they ever cross paths. Even in self-imposed exile, he has not forgotten his new brethren. Alex is the first member of the Blacklight house.
Powers: genetic shape-shifting, body absorption, memory absorption, absolute regeneration, adaptation, infinite growth potential, pocket dimension, energy mimicry/fabrication, perfect impersonation, virus generation, millenia of stolen skills and knowledge, enhanced/increasable strength, agility, and speed
Personality: Unlike the game, Alex is a great deal more compassion for other people and likes interacting with them. He does not hesitate to speak his mind and has very little fear of angry women, something that earns him a great deal of respect among other males (Plus the fact that he can outdo Tsunade in terms of strength). In battle, he tends to rely on his enhanced strength and speed more than anything else, though he can change fighting styles on a mere whim. Alex has only 1 fear that he knows of: Methyphobia, the fear of alcohol. It is one that he will go to great lengths to keep secret. As Alex is a virus in human form, no matter how evolved or powerful, any amount of alcohol is deadly to him, eating through him like acid on contact. Wounds inflicted by alcohol are extremely difficult for him to regenerate from, usually requiring him to consume a large amount of biomass to replace his burned flesh. Alex also has an obsession with crows and ravens; this could be due to the fact that, at the end of the game, he absorbed a crow in order to regenerate.
Quotes:
"I am alive and I am dead. I have a spirit, yet I have no soul. I have taken countless lives and lived every last one of them. I devour the dead and become their strength, while they become mine. I have destroyed and saved hundreds of worlds. I am sane and have given into madness. I am Blacklight Strain DX-1118. I am Alex Mercer."
"The strong have the right to be condescending toward the weak. Likewise, the weak have the right to tell the strong to stick that condescension up their collective asses."
'Chimera' Naruto Uzumaki-
Homeworld- CoG: Patchwork Maelstrom
Affiliation: UDOM
Abilities: Zetsu's traveling and personality, Tobi and Itachi's SharinganMangekyo abilities, Rinnegan (Including animal transformation from animal path), Konan's paper, Kakuzu's threads, Hidan's immortality, Juugo's Spontaneous Mutation, Shikotsumyaku, Mokuton, Deidara's Bakuton, Kyuubi's youki, Sasori's puppetry, Chakra chains, Samehada scale armor
Personality: When Naruto was given the abilities of all the Akatsuki members, all the additions to his genetic structure, most of which had altering consequences for his personality, caused him to eventually crack under the strain. The mental effort of having to remember how to control all of his new bloodlines takes up much room in his mind, causing him to develop occasional headaches, as well as talking to himself in halves. In an effort to try and keep calm, he uses a secret ability of Animal Path, turning himself into a Pangolin with gray scales and purple eyes. Only that and his cellmate Morris are the only things that preserve even a little of his sanity. Also, he feels a great amount of sympathy for the victims of the Perfection Experiment who came before him (He sometimes has difficulty showing it). Naruto sometimes wonders how much of the original him is left, whether or not he has been completely replaced by the patchwork of gene donors procured. Also, due to being in such a hostile place with only Morris for company, Naruto tends to be very abrasive to insults and slights on his appearance, mental state, choice of friends, etc. When calm, he is capable of holding a simple conversation and is capable of using his more 'complicated' powers. When angered or stressed, his mindset and mannerisms are more animalistic, rarely speaking and only uses the physical abilities in his possession.
Appearance: Naruto wears something like a dark gray version of Sasuke's Post-timeskip outfit, minus the arm guards. The clothes are made of the Kaku-threads and are thus self-repairing (It is a point of contention for him that he can't change the color). When stressed, his skin takes on the black and white pattern of Zetsu. When he activates his Samehada armor, the scales on his right side turn black with the scales pointing down for offense, while his left side becomes white with the scales pointing in the opposite direction for defense. His eyes are normally the purple of Pain's Rinnegan, though if he concentrates, he can change the color. He has circular stitch-marks (rings) on his arms below and above his wrists, as well as his shoulders, normally hidden by his sleeves. Normally disguises himself as a severely hunched over beggar, with a tattered cloak obscuring his features, except for his Rinnegan eyes.
'White Wraith' Naruto Uzumaki-
Homeworld- TUAOA CoG: White Wriath
Affiliation: Nocturne-Lampe
Abilities: Intangibility, Invisibility, Flight, Spirit sight/summoning, Dead Kyuubi youki, Possession, Telekinesis, Limited Self-resurrection, Fear, Teleportation, Reiatsu
Personality: This Naruto is rather quiet, rarely speaking. When he does, though, it's pretty apparent why; he was killed by a knife to the throat. As a result, his voice is rough, harsh and quiet, and he often needs Hinata to speak for him. Even so, this Naruto is also very perverted, using his intangibility and invisibility to peek on his wives in the shower. He also feels guilt that the Kyuubi nearly died with him, becoming an emaciated woman when he found her in the remains of his mindscape.
Appearance: Due to his status as a dead spirit, Naruto's skin is pure white, retaining his whisker marks. Even his hair is slightly faded. His eyes have become a glowing green, though when he creates a living body for himself, they return to blue. Naruto wears a black, long sleeved shirt, with a white trench coat over it. When Naruto fully draws on his powers, his hair turns fully white and melts down his face, hardening into a glassy white helmet. Then eyeholes crack and chip themselves out of the surface, leaving black glass for Naruto to see through.
Shiemi Moriyama-
Homeworld- Son of Satan, Daughter of the Wind (Ao no Exorcist)
Affiliation: Baro
Abilities: Air manipulation, Flight, Illusions, Summoning, Plant manipulation via summon, Disruption, Zaktan
Personality: Shiemi, AKA Sud Baro, is the daughter of Nord. As such, she inherited his carefree, lighthearted personality, though her mother's influence makes her somewhat more grounded that her father. Sud exudes a sense of innocence that makes nearly everyone around her feel protective of her, while making people who are otherwise unpleasant feel uncomfortable. She is excitable and loves interacting with others, wanting to be friends with anyone. In a fight, she uses her wind abilities to form hammer-like whirlwinds, smacking around enemies and smashing them with extreme force.
Appearance: Basically looks the same as Canon Shiemi
OCs
Gormim (Hebrew: Elements): the Gormim are a group of beings who live to explore, and collect/steal from, the various story dimensions (dimensions were the events of a story are true), typically the Naruto multi-verse, though they will seek out the world of any story that interests them. They originally hail from a race known as Medians. A typical Median has at least 2 distinct characteristics: shark-like teeth (like the 7 swordsmen of the mist, though they can hide them to look normal), and the ability to use a certain element or magic. Their symbol is called the 'Negative Infinity', an infinity symbol with a slash through it. Each Gorem has the symbol tattooed somewhere on their body; this being what gives them their elemental abilities. Each tattoo has a different design on the infinity depending on which element it is. The tattoo usually appears on a part of their body that is significant to their character, though they can have it appear elsewhere. Also, the symbol can be used to summon help from the home world, such as weapons, tools, and other members. If need be, a Gorem may temporarily transfer his/her tattoo, along with their power, to another, in order to create a combination element (for example: Fire Shadow= Bale-Fire/Amaterasu). If a certain technique, power, or artifact becomes known to them, the Gormim will go to great lengths to copy or learn, if not steal it. Often, when a Gorem or a group of Gormim ventures out, they assign certain conditions to themselves, such as limits to their powers, what they can reveal, etc. If they deem it necessary, however, they will not hesitate to break these rules.
The Gormim live in what they describe to be 'the world between the worlds.' Their home is seen as a dark void where time is irrelevant, with pieces of buildings or mini-environs scattered throughout, where they live. Due to the fact that these buildings are not fixed to any particular space, they are known as The Scattered Foundations.
The Scattered Foundations is part of a greater world which all the original Gormim (meaning my OCs) first came from. It is known as the Centerplane and is divided into three parts. First is the Foreground: the actual world that the Gormim were born in. It is not known how large it is as a planet, though there there are numerous countries and islands. The islands are inhabited by people who the Gormim bring in from the side worlds. Second is the Scattered Foundations. The Third part of the Centerplane is called the Backdrop: an abyss of chaos and madness. The Backdrop is the place from which the powers of the Gormim originally sprang.
Since time does not exist in the Scattered Foundations, the Gormim do not age while they are there, though they can alter their physical age to appear younger. However, they cannot appear to be older than they truly are. As such, in order to truly age, they must leave the Scattered Foundations and experience life in other worlds. When they return to their home, they are able to shape their body's age and personality as they see fit, though once they leave, their body becomes 'set.' Even though the Gorem view each other as family, they are not necessarily related by blood.
Though they are one clan, the Gormim are divided into smaller groups, or houses, based on the skills they have. For instance, if a person shows an affinity for fire techniques before they join, they would join the Terme family. The members of most houses possess auxiliary, inner powers. These powers have been stolen by the Gormim from the Bionicle universe, though they do not have to wear masks in order to use them. The masks that do not belong to any house have been converted into rings for convenience.
Members:
Storia Daisho-
Inversion name: None
Homestuck Title: the Mage of Mind
Other titles: The Gray Scholar, Narrator, Chronicler of All Histories, Spellwright of All Languages, The Memory of Chaos, Mugen-te (Infinite Hands), Puppeteer, The Mind-Spinner, Silver Staff, Codex All, Grimoire of the Outer Ring, The Silver
Storia is the de facto leader of the Gormim, being the one who gives out assignments to other members when he wants them to go to a certain world. He is the head of the Magia House, which specializes in magic, and serves as a House for Gormim who have no elemental affinity. Storia is the Narrator; his job is to observe the events of any story that might be going on and record it into a book. Having been in the job for millenia, he's very blasé about talking about it. Storia is a great believer in having a person reach their potential, and becomes positively livid when he learns someone has attempted to sabotage another person's future. He also greatly dislikes when a person in a position (ie: Teaching) who mistreats those below him (Students/children) and will not hesitate to inform them of his displeasure. Storia is normally formal, but has a subtle or sarcastic sense of humor, and is fond of puns.
Quotes:
"Let us see who is superior, the Professor or the Scholar."
"Do you know why the pen is mightier than the sword? Because the pen creates the word, and from words come ideas. Ideas...are the seeds that grow into worlds."
"Don't talk to me about what I dare to do!"
You are mistaken. There is only one of me."
"You do not have my sympathy."
Fuoca Terme-
Homestuck Title: the Ally of Flame
Fuoca is one of the more recent Gormim to join the clan, as well as the youngest. Though it is not known precisely where she came from, the fact that she only speaks Italian kind of gives it away. Fuoca is a member of the Terme house, a fire manipulator. Because she is so young, however, she can only access Ignition Level 1: Spark, which gives her the ability to create sparks by striking or rubbing any part of her body on any surface like a match. This means that whenever she tags along with other Gormim, they have to make sure she doesn't accidentally burn the building down. Her Negative Infinity is on her neck; the image of the Infinity is formed by a stream of fire, plus the usual black line. Due to the fact that Blair often takes care of her in the absence of Fuoca's brother, William, Fuoca easily takes a liking to people with blue hair. She wears a thick pink and white coat, has red hair that emits sparks and yellow eyes.
Skill levels: Ignition
Level 1: Spark- Fuoca can create flames through friction of any body part on any surface and see heat sources
Auxiliary powers: Hau (Shield), Huna (Invisibility)
Nord Baro-
Inversion/control name: Sorilliago
Homestuck Title: the Thief of Breath
Other titles: Ga (The Moth), Lightweight Hurricane
Nord is a cheerful, mischievous and easily distracted Gorem, who belongs in the Wind house, Baro. Currently, he is also the only member of it as well, though the lack of other wind users does not bother him. Very little can make him mad, although caution should be taken to make sure it stays that way. Nord's Negative Infinity appears on the left side of his ribs, formed by the image of swirling winds. In the Naruto-verse of *Naruto's other tenant* he acts as the sensei of the Gormim Genin team for the Chunin exams. Prior to this, he gains a reputation throughout the elemental countries as a skilled Jonin-level assassin with wind abilities, known as Ga (which means The Moth). In his disguise as Ga, Nord wears tattered gray clothes and a green scarf wrapped around his entire head, with strands of hair poking through. Even without it, Nord often has random strands of hair sticking up in all directions; this is because he uses them to detect disturbances in the air around him, though his skill is high enough that he can detect distant people with this.
Skill levels: Blow
Level 1: Breeze- Alters air resistance to increase defense, or lower to increase speed. can also sense disturbances in the air using long strands of hair like whiskers.
Level 2: Gust- Can use techniques such as Kaze no Yaiba (Wind blade) and other wind-based moves.
Level 3: Squall- Can freely manipulate air, crush people with barometric pressure, and create small storms, with limited control over rain, hail, and lightning.
Level 4: Uricana- Confidential.
Nord's regeneration is the fastest among the Gormim, due to constantly being surrounded by air.
Auxiliary powers: Kadin (Flight), Mahiki (Illusions), Zatth (Summoning), Felnas (Can turn another person's power against them by disrupting control), Zaktan (dissolves into microscopic insectoids)
Quotes:
"Like a moth senses motions on the air, so too does the current tell me your movements."
"You see, my dear fellow, I was paid by this man to watch his back. I was not yet paid. Nor will I be, seeing as you just killed him. Do you understand the situation? Good. Now die."
"Why do I love life? Why do I shy away from being cast in a good light? Because both things were foreign things to me in my youth. The former I took in when I was taken from...that place. The latter, I'm afraid, I am still not used to. Nor, I fear, will I ever be."
Blair Souse-
Inversion/control name: Belon-ga
Homestuck Title: the Maid of Blood
Blair is one of the oldest female Gorem. She suffers frequently from wild mood swings, so her personality is hard to pin down. Blair has blue hair that she sometimes wears in a ponytail. She is also one of the more physically attractive girls of the Gormim, but strangely enough barely anyone ever tries to hit on her. She often does odd jobs for the other Gormim, mostly out of a desire to be useful. Unlike her older brother, Colt, she commands water in smaller, but no less deadly ways. Blair is at her most danerous when she comes into direct contact with human blood, more specifically on her face. She will fly into an animalistic and uncontrollable bloodlust, tearing into anyone who approaches. The blood Blair draws becomes attracted to her, staining her skin red and, at greater quantities, forming armor and weapons with which she can wreak more havoc. A good way of telling whether or not she is in a bloodlust is her hair; when she loses control, the excess blood seeps into it, dying the blue to black. As a member of the Souse family, Blair's Negative Infinity is formed by the image of a stream of water. When asked where the mark is, she refuses to answer. Due to her status as a water elemental, she bleeds water instead of normal blood. She is capable of accelerated healing when around quantities of water.
Blair is the younger sister of Colt Souse and comes from the same part of the Foreground as him.
Primary Skill levels: Hydrolyze
Level 1: Drop- Able to see distant events through water, basically scrying. Also able to slow blood-flow of wounds to assist in healing.
Level 2: Well- Able to manipulate water mentally. Requires much concentration.
Level 3: River- Able to manipulate spilled blood. Can harden blood into armor or weapons.
Auxiliary powers: Kaukau (water breathing), Rau (Translation), Faxon (Mimicking abilities), Avsa (Drain energy from target over a distance), Vezok (Impact Vision, ability to temporarily copy any power/technique she is hit with)
Quotes:
"Oh dear... *twitches* t-this is b-blood, isn't it? Heheh. Heheheh... your blood is..."
Lavernius 'Len' Ferro-
Inversion/control name- Frovinran
Homestuck Title: the Prince of Doom
Accel World Duel Avatar: Iron Lancer
Other titles: Iron Alchemist, Metal Giant, Mellow Juggernaut, Black and White Cerberus, Black Chain Whip
Len is a light-hearted, joking, laid back, more than slightly perverted Gorem. He likes poking fun at other people verbally, especially his friend Carlos Binarius. Len becomes extremely irritated whenever someone addresses him by his real name, Lavernius, but apart from that hardly ever takes anything seriously. However, despite his self-portrayal as an idiot, Len is not nearly as dense as he seems. As a member of the Ferro house, one of Len's job's is to oversee the reproduction of the many weapons and artifacts that the Gormim have collected. He has an army of empty suits of armor to do the actual producing while he, with his power over metal, imbues the artifacts with the proper powers. Len wears a a brown trench coat over a white button-up shirt and gray slacks. He is exceptionally proud of a weapon he made himself, known as Pendolo (A pocket watch that transforms into a bladed weapon). Len's Negative Infinity is located directly on his heart and takes the form of a pair of gears.
Back-story:
Len was born to a Noble family, in a country full of them which lies on top of a moving plateau. However, he was not by any means an 'important' child; he was the second son, and his family was matriarchal. Nevertheless, he developed an interest in weapons and fighting, much to the disapproval of certain members of his family. He did get along with his younger sister, the heiress of their family. One day, he met a girl from another family and eventually fell for her. However, he could not court her without first going through her guards, as was the family's custom. So he trained, focusing primarily on twin swords. As he trained however, unbeknownst to him his innards started to turn to metal, inhibiting his progress. Eventually, however, he reached the point where he could win, but was not able to enjoy his victory for long. Storia appeared before him and his family and informed Len that his then-unknown power was overwhelming his body. Len must become a Gorem, or be rendered a statue. His choice was obvious. He has yet to return to his fiance, but plans to eventually.
Primary Powers:
Magnetism- Able to manipulate anything metallic in nature. (Think Magneto) In Naruto-verse, requires a large amount of chakra.
Alchemical Forge- Can transform any substance into any metal, as well as produce more as long as he has some.
Endowment- Ability to imbibe powers within metal, typically through runes. The array of powers he can use is limitless, as long as he places the power in a metal object. Example: Len carves special runes on a blade's edge, causing it to accelerate the time of whatever it meets and improve cutting power by aging the target.
Natural Body- As a Ferro, Len's natural body is made the most of his element out of the other Gormim houses; his muscles are made of lead wires, his bones are made of iron, his blood is Mercury, and he has a 'Steampunk' mechanical heart. The first two things in particular mean that it is very difficult to cause significant damage to his innards. The only problem is that this makes it very difficult for him to swim. His healing factor increases when near metal.
Len is extremely proficient with any close range weapon.
'Tempered Lexicon': Len can use a variety of metal-based spells
Auxiliary Power:
Kanohi Artakha- The power of this mask is shared with the Binarius family. It grants its user the knowledge of how to construct an object, based on the raw materials at hand. If the user already has knowledge of what to build, the power automatically creates it from said materials.
Quotes:
"It's like being high, except it isn't!
"Carlos! There can only be one! Execute!"
"Don't look at me, I'm just in it for the lols."
"Woohoo, I don't know what I'm doing!"
Carlos Binarius-
Inversion/control name: Decorodo
Homestuck Title: the Soldier of Depth
Accel World Duel Avatar: Eggshell Core
Other titles: Lone Commander, The Gunner, Six-Shooter, Duo
Carlos is a stoic, bluntly speaking, almost-always-calm individual. As head of the technological family of the Gormim, he is in charge of maintaining the supply of firearms and weapons that the Gormim have archived. Carlos is proud of the fact that he is a resident of the Centerplane and, when out in one of the side worlds, does not like when people make references to other worlds, whether intentionally or otherwise. As a result, his Gorem half brother (of a sort), Len Ferro, enjoys specifically making references to other worlds just to see his reaction. Carlos has short, dark green, messy hair and wears a dark red sleeveless vest with a hole in the center for his core. His body is covered in glowing green circuit-line tattoos. He enjoys eating sweet things in the form of fruit, often taking out an apple and biting it while giving a lecture. Carlos' Negative Infinity takes the form of two green, elongated hexagons with a blue vertical line through the center, as well as the usual horizontal black line.
Back-story: In his past life, Carlos was a soldier at war. During a battle, he came across a small girl in an abandoned house on the verge of collapsing. As he went to help her, however, the roof collapsed upon him, heavily injuring him. However, the girl managed to call for help from his team, and they managed to save him by giving him mechanical replacements for the parts crushed by the building. Later, when Carlos was discharged from the army to recuperate, he adopted the girl, naming her Sophie. As time went on and he discovered that Sophie had gained a Potential Infinity, he feared that she would become overwhelmed by her power. Despite not being a superstitious person, he wished upon a star that the approaching pain to his adopted daughter could be averted. Unbeknownst to him, it was not a star, but an opening into the Backdrop, that place of Chaos and Madness. His wish was granted; while Sophie discovered and exercised her powers over technology, the mechanical implants he possessed began to grow, gradually eating away at and replacing the biological aspects of his body. If Storia had not eventually turned up and informed Sophie of her and her father's predicament, the Median known as Carlos would have been subverted by the machine of his own body. Due to their situation, he was made a Gorem at the same time as Sophie, which allowed him to fight back changes in his body.
Powers:
Carlos has the ability to control any form of technology. Because of his 'family's philosophy of Binary, he exists has both an organic self and a mechanical self, both existing within the same space. He is capable of transforming his body parts in many ways, often in ways that should be spatially impossible. Then there is the source of his power: his core. Carlos keeps a cylinder of raw technology (No other description for it) embedded in his chest, right below the sternum (Like a cross between Sasori and Iron Man). This core acts as a link between the organic and mechanical selves. Removing the core usually results in Carlos losing his ability to access his mechanical functions, but only he can remove it safely. When removed, Carlos can insert it into any other technological creation, such as a vehicle, computer, or battle mech, and take control of it mentally. Even if the core is stolen, he has another secret; his consciousness is split between both himself and the core, allowing him to always know where it is, sense through it, and control the things it is inserted into as if it was his own body, while controlling his real body at the same time. His fighting style changes from situation to situation, but he has a habit of using a simple black pistol for abnormal things such as magic, Ceros and firing stored Jutsu; mostly, though, he just likes using it more than other weapons since it's small and easy to summon; he even keeps it in an actual holster. The circuit-line tattoos all over his body act as the catalyst for his transformations, the path of the lines changing based on what he's using his body for. The lines can also be used like storage/summoning seals, allowing him to summon any weapons he has archived and wield them. Carlos is a master marksman, well-versed in combat with many types of firearms, as well as close quarters combat. Carlos is capable of using nano-robots to repair himself over time if damaged. He is also a 'page' of the 'Binary Codex,' which gives him access to technology or computer-based spells.
Quotes:
"Damn. It's gonna takes weeks to make a replacement that arm."
*upon seeing his opponent for the prelims* "This won't take long."
"Initiating Locus transfer...connecting to mtp://naruto.prime.minus6256057...Connect. Initiating Gate. Locus Transfer! Execute."
"Len, what are you on?!"
Archer Lampe-
Inversion/control name: Staralya
Homestuck Title: the Seer of Hope
Archer is very serious and when in battle, focuses on a single target with disturbing tenacity. He is especially proud of his extreme speed, often showing off by racing against other fast people such as the Din. His auxiliary power often results in him having unusually good luck and he is prohibited from gambling with other Gormim. Archer is not related to the Archer from Fate/stay night in any way. He has brown hair with blond streaks in it and golden eyes and wears a black and yellow leather jacket. His Negative Infinity is located on his left cheek and is formed by a continuous stream of lightning.
Powers: Archer has a high amount of control over lightning and electricity in general. Because of the legendary speed that lightning possesses, Archer is also one of the fastest Gormim alive. He has a habit of fighting using golden arrows. These arrows are actually solidified lightning and will become zigzagging bolts when fired, though their accuracy is not decreased
Skill Levels: Ionize
Level 1: Flicker- Allows an increase of bioelectricity from the brain, enhancing Archer's reflexes. Archer can also detect living beings through their electrical impulses and hijack their movements by controlling the bioelectric signals in their brain. This requires him to stay still and, initially at least, have them in his line of sight.
Level 2: Jolt- Archer can fire small arcs of lightning from his hands and emit an aura of electricity to aid in hand-to-hand combat. He is also capable of many of the techniques possessed by Cole MacGrath. However, it's possible for Archer to run out of stored lightning, so he must drain more from other sources ala InFamous.
Level 3: Surge- Archer's store of lightning becomes nearly infinite, allowing him generate enormous streams of lightning in all directions. This stage causes Archer to become more reckless in his fighting, as he is no longer trying to conserve electricity.
Level 4: Dinamo- Classified.
Auxiliary Power:
Kanohi Nikila- The mask of alternate possibilities. When using this power, Archer becomes able to see future paths, outcomes of certain choices, decisions, actions, etc. as well as influence them. He can ensure that a potential incident will be more or less likely to occur; with sufficient concentration he can make it a certainty. He can only see, and thus influence, events that have yet to occur. If an event has already happened, he becomes unable to see possible outcomes of that event, as well as any branching possibilities. The farther into the future an event is, the harder it is to influence. Also, his power must have a certain amount of time to recharge when he makes an event certain to happen. The time to recharge is proportional to the amount of time until the certified incident happens, unless he is cancelling his certainty. In the meantime, Archer is forbidden from telling anyone about the changes in probability he has made until it is either happening or has already happened. Get it? Good.
Jenna Gloma-
Inversion/control name: Gladinul
Homestuck Title: the Dealer of Dreams
Jenna is one of the two Archivists of the Gormim. She works alongside Mason, and later under Adrian Dulcimer, to endlessly make sure that all artifacts within Warehouse 13.5 are where they are supposed to be. Where Mason is a diligent, focused worker, however, Jenna is lazy and lethargic, never doing anything in a hurry. She is fairly easygoing, though she sometimes falls asleep on whoever happens to be close to her. Jenna has very pale skin from living underground and is fairly curvy, though she usually wears loose clothing so it's difficult to tell. She has long black hair and purple eyes, which bring to mind a geode when seen. Her Negative Infinity is located on her right hip and is formed by the image of green crystals.
Powers: Jenna, as a Gloma, has the ability to pull a form of energy (known as Tectonic Energy) out of the ground through her feet and use it to attack. Anything that hits the energy either just bounces off or becomes supercharged, depending on the will of the user. Jenna typically uses a small extendable mace to channel this energy, causing great impacts with every swing. She can also detach the head of the mace and swing/manipulate it using TE.
Skill Levels: Tremor
Level 1: Shake- Allows Jenna to sense movement via vibrations in the earth.
Level 2: Tremble- Jenna becomes able to turn ordinary rocks into deadly flying projectiles by striking them with Tectonic Energy.
Level 3: Rumble- Jenna uses her mace to channel TE, increasing the power of her strikes, as well as control the terrain.
Auxiliary Powers:
Pakari (Great Strength), Ruru (Night-vision), Volitak (Stealth), Reidak (Adaptation Upon Defeat), Bomonga (Growth), Shelek (Silence)
Quotes:
"Whoa man, calm down. Take a breather. No rush."
"Huh, you're kinda cute. Try not to die. Please?"
"You're a little early to be thinking of taking me down, human. I might not be the strongest, but I'm definitely better than you."
"I am like the earth. I'm lazy and I do nothing." *Crack!* "And then I hit you over the head."
William Terme-
Inversion/control name: Orde'ca
Homestuck Title: the Bard of Light
Accel World Duel Avatar: Amethyst Burner
Other titles: The Acrobat, Iron Fist (Stone Fist, later), Flaring Ember, Fist of Asura, Taiyou no Hashira (Pillar of the Sun)
Head of the Terme family and Fire wielder. William has red hair streaked with orange and yellow eyes with blue around the edges. His personality is usually relaxed, not one to rush things. Since the story CoG: Patchwork Maelstrom, both of his hands have been replaced with mechanical ones, the metal long since charred black by the flames he generates. Occasionally he has to take them to Carlos to get the joints loosened. He also smokes cigarettes, but does not exhale the smoke; he keeps it stored in his lungs, ready to exhale it for an attack. Rather than having a single Negative Infinity, William possesses ten small NIs on the first digit of each finger.
Powers: William tends to rely on hand to hand combat combined with his fire abilities. he punches and kicks to shoot fireballs and fights in a manner pretty much identical to Firebending. However, he can switch to long range and roast enemies with jutsu-based fire attacks. William is also capable of summoning Smoke Wraiths, beings composed entirely of semi-sentient ash and smoke, by exhaling them. The Wraiths fly throughout the battle field, poisoning enemies and choking them. Afterward, William ignites the Wraiths and causes them to explode.
Skill Levels: Ignition
Level 1: Spark- He can create sparks by rubbing any part of his body on anything else. Able to sense thermal energy.
Level 2: Flare- Creates flames through motion. William can cause people to explode by starting the combustion process inside them.
Level 3: Blaze- Able to create and control Fire to a great degree. He can also be summoned using flame. Flames are hot enough to enstantly vaporize any liquid.
Level 4: Scottare- William becomes able to create, control and transform into fire.
Auxiliary powers: Hau (Shielding), Huna (Invisibility), Calix (Ability to successfully do things that are unlikely to succeed), Hakann (Mental attack, heat vision), Jutlin (Corruption, rot, rust)
Quotes:
"Explode: Lucciola!"
"I'm an elemental of fire. Do I look like I'm worried about these things killing me?"
Olivia Vetra-
Inversion/control name: Crodakk
Homestuck Title: the Sylph of Life
Olivia is a recent addition to the Gormim, as well as the first member of the Glass-using Vetra house. She has some basic knowledge of popular/well-known side-verse rules, but lacks understanding of the finer details due to having never gone on a lifetime herself. Before her 'first' lifetime in CoG: NOT, Olivia enjoyed staying at her compound (A rather small house) and making various glass creations. Her house is pretty much littered with living glass creatures that she feeds using sand donated from the Petra Domain. As a result of her powers, her skeletal structure is made entirely of reinforced glass (In other words, tougher than normal glass, but more brittle than normal bone). Her negative infinity takes the image of half an infinity, which is reflected the other way in a mirror.
Powers: Olivia is capable of secreting fluid glass from her body, which hardens quickly. She can manipulate normal glass as if it were a liquid, allowing her to shape it in an instant. She also has the ability, similar to Len, to endow her creations with special abilities, though she tends to focus on light-bending powers and durability; if she makes a sculpture of a living organism, she automatically grants it life. In times of crisis, she uses her prized creature, a size-changing glass dragon by the name of Chime (Ironically, the only living glass being that she did not make herself).
Auxiliary Powers: Tuyet- Allows intangibility. Requires immense concentration from Olivia, as she hasn't had to use it before.
Morris Nocturne-
Inversion/control name: Shuro'yll
Homestuck Title: the Page of Void or the Savior of Shade
Morris is one of the oldest members of the Gormim, second only to Otto and Storia. Apart from lifetimes in side worlds, he barely interacts with others at all, prefering to stay within the great cave that makes up the Nocturne region, the Sunless Cavern. Morris is slight of build with fluffy, soft, off-white hair. His eyes are a dark blue-gray, darkening to black towards the pupils. Morris's eyes also have a thin, slightly luminous golden ring around the edge of the iris. If the skin of his eyelids is anything to go by, Morris has pitch black skin. However, it's normally nearly impossible to tell; Morris is wrapped from head to foot in white bandages at all times. He is capable of unwinding and rewinding them at will around him, but does not use them for binding enemies for fear of damaging the bandages. When his bandages are fully removed, it is seen that he lacks anything belonging to a human body besides his eyes and hair. On a bright day, he can hold his body together in its proper shape without bandages. Normally, the wrappings act as bindings for his true form, with his hair being an indicator as to their strength, darkening to black when the bindings fail. At night, without his bandages, Morris becomes a shapeless mass of pure darkness, with a tiny pair of golden rings floating about somewhere. Morris's Negative infinity is located over where his mouth should be. The image is a black infinity with multiple 'shadow-beams' (Like sunbeams, only shadows) sticking out of it. Morris normally wears a silk shirt capable of blocking blades, which is taken from one of R. A. Salvatore's books, and a cloak. The cloak is actually made of shadows, which he can use to absorb projectiles and fire them back out.
Back-story: When Storia's people were chased away by the tyrant, Morris was among them. They wandered for many years, before finally coming to a stop at mysterious boulder with an opening for a tunnel. Curious, Morris and his friend Otto wandered into it. As they walked, they began to hear things moving around them and caught glimpses of...indescribable demons. However, both found themselves unable to turn back. So they continued to walk, on and on and on... The tunnel, of course, was no ordinary endless tunnel to lead unwary travelers to their deaths. It led straight through the Backdrop, and would either kill those that walked through it, or empower them. Morris, who walked in front of Otto, took the brunt of the Chaos and was burned away. Even as they walked, his body was worn away until there was nothing left but his shadow, which continued to walk in his place, gathering power from the surrounding darkness.
Otto did not know this, as the Chaos had burned into his eyes, blinding him.
Powers: Morris has the ability to create and manipulate shadows. He can 'lift' them out of 2-dimensional form and use them to attack, like a more powerful version of the Nara Clan's techniques. He can also pass through shadows into an abyss/shadow world that he can travel in at will and exit through other shadows. When in his true form, Morris has to constantly draw energy from other shadows around him or be burned away by the light. At night, this is less of a problem. His bandages protect him both from losing cohesion and from being dissolved by bright light, whether it is from fire, electricity, or the sun.
Skill levels: Enshroud
Level 1: Shade- Morris can manipulate the length and shape of shadows around and use his own shadow like a third hand. He can also turn invisible by standing in shadow.
Level 2: Shroud- He can cause all other shadows to become 3-dimensional and project a spherical area of darkness around himself to strengthen his powers and confuse his foes.
Level 3: Gloaming- This level causes the land for kilometers around to darken in shadow, while the sun still burns in the sky; Morris simply dowses the light before it hits the ground.
Level 4: Eclisso- Morris's power is so great that he can reach up with his mind and encase the sun in darkness, preventing all light from hitting the earth.
Auxiliary Powers: Kanohi Avokhii- The legendary mask of light. Morris can only use its power to manipulate light when he wears his bandages, otherwise his two powers would cancel out and he'd be both burned and snuffed out.
Quotes:
"Oh god! Natural light!!"
"Here, take my shirt. I don't really need it."
"I am the night! Do not underestimate me, mere mortal!"
Kelvin Ghiaccio-
Inversion/control name: Roa-clisch
Homestuck title: the Knight of Rage
Accel World Duel Avatar: Midnight Draw
Other titles: Dragon-Eater, Ma-Ni no Ronin, Katame no Garouryuu (One-eyed Wolf-Dragon), Glacier Blade, Akayuki (Red Snow), The White, Rage of Asura
At most times, Kelvin is the quiet lone wolf, often wandering off by himself. Because of his reputation, the Gormim tend to tread carefully around him and leave him alone. When around others, Kelvin displays a very subtle type of visual humor, arranging objects in a way to make them seem comical. However, any display of sexual attraction between two people makes him very edgy and uncomfortable. He also has a russian accent and sometimes finds it difficult to find the right words. Kelvin possesses a strong sense of justice, and when attending a trial, will take great measures to assure that the proceedings are impartial and fair. However, if he is witness to a child being attacked or a woman about to be raped, he will act swiftly, without thought, and with finality. While he may seem calm, Kelvin carries in him a rage that exceeds anything the Gormim have ever thought possible. Kelvin has pure white hair, with long bangs, which obscure the right part of his face. His left eye is pale blue, while the right one is both there and not there, but is red when its there. He wears a white-and-blue camoflage kosode and shitagi and carries a sword with a red scabbard. Kelvin's Negative Infinity is located along the vertical scar on his right eye, which changes when the NI is made visible. Despite the opposition of their elements, he and William Terme are quite close, and are often found in each other's company.
Back-story: Kelvin was born in the Foreground country Rojin. He lived a somewhat normal life with his family; however, one day when he was young, his house was attacked by a roving band of thieves. Kelvin lost his eye in the attack and was forced to watch as his mother was raped, then killed, before his sister was taken to share the same fate. He spent many years learning to use a sword and wandering the landscape as a Ronin, searching relentlessly for his sister. Finally, he found the thieves' hideout and infiltrated it. Unfortunately, it was too late; his sister's mind had long since been broken by her captors, who used her for their own sexual desires. She didn't even recognize Kelvin. In a fit of rage and grief, Kelvin slaughtered every single man inside the hideout, and was about to turn his blade on himself when he was approached by the Gormim. They inducted him into their ranks and healed his sister's mind, with the side effect that she forgot the years leading up to the damage. As a result, Kelvin still visits her, but is afraid of giving her his identity, lest she have a relapse. His worry persists, despite the Gormim's assurance that such a thing cannot happen. He travelled across worlds and in one, became a dragon rider (not from the Inheritance books) to a flightless ice dragon. He battled for many years alongside the dragon until, one day, his dragon was killed and he was stranded in a forest within enemy territory. Neither wanting his dragon's body to fall into enemy hands nor wanting to starve, Kelvin ate his dead dragon, gaining a roar that could inspire paralysis in his enemies. This event also lead to him being labeled Kelvin the Dragon-Eater by dragons throughout the many worlds of reality.
Powers:
Sword: Kelvin possesses a Centerplane katana with unique properties. Each part of the sword (the blade, the hilt, and the scabbard) holds a special ability, but also create a new ability when the parts are together. For instance, the blade allows Kelvin to charge through all barriers and bindings with his rage. The hilt has the ability to manipulate fate in order to always return to its wielder's side. The scabbard's ability is unknown. When the blade and hilt are in contact, they grant Kelvin great speed. When all three parts are together, they create a blade that will, for one strike, cut any and all those in the area that Kelvin wishes to harm. Some time during his travels, Kelvin had the blade of the sword crushed into powder, and then had the powder mixed with his very bones (Fortunately, he is virtually immortal). As a result, Kelvin can use his killing intent to turn his body into a living blade. Also, he merely has to hold the hilt in order to be granted super-speed. He uses ice to form the blade of the katana now. The sword's name is Samsara.
Skill levels: Glaciate
Level 1: Pogonip- Kelvin can freeze anything that touches or gets near him.
Level 2: Frost- His katana becomes cold enough to cut opponents without drawing blood.
Level 3: Flake- Kelvin has instinctual control over ice and can summon blizzards. He has a habit of hunting 'prey' through these blizzards unaffected.
Level 4: Lavagna- Kelvin can become ice. He also has a unique ability called Zero Assoluto, in which he can reduce temperatures around him to 0 Kelvin, or Absolute Zero. His sword can cut through anything, since its atoms don't vibrate.
Auxiliary powers: Akaku (X-ray vision), Matatu (Telekinesis), Iden (Astral projection), Tryna (Reanimation), Thok (Spellbinder vision, animation), Krast (Repulsion)
Quotes:
"I do not make threats. Only statements."
"Come. I teach you."
"For her, I will forgive. But I forget for no one."
"I...shall not fail."
"Will. Not. ALLOW!"
Adrian Dulcimer-
Abilities: Possession, mastery of all artifacts, artifact summoning, limited omniscience, 'dragon sense,' immortality, artifact integration, psychometry, minor telekinesis
Personality: Adrian is a homunculus created with Warehouse 13.5 as his soul. As he grew up almost entirely alone for about 15 years, Naruto has a very straightforward personality and hardly ever shows fear. He prizes everything that is stored in the Warehouse equally, though he knows well enough what can be used and what should not be moved from it's shelf. Naruto has a habit of fully explaining the history of an artifact when asked, almost never giving a short answer if he can help it. He has a slight attachment to Jack Noir's Ring of Four-Fold, the Goblet of Severin, the Golden Spider from Asura's Wrath, Clark Kent's glasses, Gae Bolg, and Death's mask from Darksiders, all of which he carries around with him in case of emergencies. As a homunculus, Naruto enjoys eating cobwebs and the occasional insect. He was composed of the DNA of a Dragon for organization, a cat, lizard, and spider for agility and speed, the hands of Lancelot for his artifact mastery and human DNA, and an infusion of Backdrop Chaos to bring him to life.
Appearance: Adrian is tall and very thin, looking almost whispy. He has spiky white hair and rust-red eyes with glasses. The pupils are unlike human ones, as instead of being clear-cut circles of black, they instead look like black pits roughly gouged out of the iris and never dilate. Adrian has a penchant for wearing plaid, much to the dismay of the more fashion-minded people who know him. He doesn't care that much.
Mononoke Fuzai-
There is only one thing that can be said about Fuzai: He's male. A being of perfect stealth and anonymity, Fuzai is an absolute mystery even to most of the Gormim. He is extremely agile and can blend in with the smallest shadows silently. His strength is about average for a Median, and he has knowledge of the body's pressure points. He wears a black helmet with several horizontal slits in it, a black breastplate similar to what ANBU wear, and a skintight black bodysuit. The only part of his body that isn't black are the silver claws he wears on his fingertips. His chakra signature can only be detected when he actively uses it, and even then it's almost impossible to even see. He never speaks, instead communicating by changing his Killing Intent into audible words, and his handwriting can be mistaken for typeface. No one knows where he comes from, who he really is, or if he's even a Gorem. The fact that he's shown up in multiple universes where he's not a native indicates he's a Median, but the UDOM claim that he's not one of theirs.
UDOM (Abbreviation: Unnamed Denizens Of Madness) (Pronounced 'Yoo-dahm')
The UDOM are a primordial version of the Gormim who reside within the Backdrop. They and the Gormim are aware of each other's existence, and while they are not quite enemies, their relationship is one of heightened tension. The UDOM are more chaotic in their way of doing things, though their individual powers are slightly more limited. They cannot fuse into stronger beings like the Gormim, instead relying on being as creative with their powers as they can be. Unlike the Gormim, however, they cannot be turned to another side unless they wish it.
The symbol of the UDOM is called the Unwinding Spiral, which takes the appearance of a spiral 'drawn' on their body, typically on the torso. Halfway through the 'drawing,' however, the spiral becomes a zigzagging arrow. The length and complexity of the arrow denotes the strength of the UDOM in question.
The UDOM is for the people who join the Gormim but have no house that they belong to, since their powers are too miscellaneous or random. It is also the home of the Opposite Numbers, specific UDOM whose jobs are to directly oppose certain Gormim houses. Most UDOM who come into existence in the Backdrop take names that are a pun on their powers.
Dage-
Dage is a short-tempered, bitter, antisocial UDOM. He takes very little prodding to start a fight, even less to start using his power, which is highly dangerous for anyone and anything near him, hence his antisocial tendencies. His Unwinding Spiral is located on his left arm, the spiral starting on the back of his hand and the arrow wrapping loosely around the rest of his arm, making him a medium-high-ranked UDOM. When Dage uses his power, the US starts glowing yellow.
Power: Dage is named after his power, DisAssemble to the Greatest Extent. Centered mostly on his left arm, Dage is able to break any object down into it's smallest parts. For instance, a machine would tear itself apart down to the smallest screws, before each piece breaks. For solid objects like rocks, Dage reduces them to dust, regardless of size. For living beings, his power forces each cell in their body to separate from those around it, either turning them to dust or causing them to explode messily.
Tefa-
Homestuck title: the Rogue of Space
Tefa is extremely curious, always poking his nose into situations where he is not wanted. He also sometimes acts as a messenger, working alongside Vaga Farwalker. His Unwinding Spiral is located on his right leg, the spiral beginning on his kneecap and the arrow extending upwards to mid-thigh, making him a medium ranked UDOM.
Power: His power is taken from the book 'The Lost Gate.' Tefa has the ability to open and close double ended portals leading to anywhere. He can instinctively tell where every open gate is and where it leads, can instantly heal any injury or sickness by passing through a portal, and manipulate the locations of both portal ends, among other things.
The Chemist-
The Chemist, AKA Chem or Chem-Lab, is one of the more mature and calm UDOM. He also has the closest connections with the Gormim and is often called in to help, much to the scorn of certain other UDOM. Chem wears a white lab-coat, a pair of galoshes, and an old fisherman's hat over messy brown hair. He has sickly-looking, greenish-yellow eyes and seems to bear some similarities to Carlos Binarius, though he is more cheerful with a slightly morbid sense of humor.
Power: Chem has the ability to create any chemical within his body and then secrete it, making him an expert on anesthetics, poisons, antidotes, and acids, among other things. Though he usually creates his chemicals as liquids (He also has the ability to spontaneously produce containers for said chemicals), he can, with concentration and effort respectively, produce both gases and solids.
Scienze/Scorda-
Homestuck Title: the Priest of Chaos
An enigma. Everyone, Gorem and UDOM, knows he exists, but no one can ever remember what he looks like, his actions, his whereabouts, or his personality. The Gormim theorize that he stole their copies of the Teacher's Editions, but they don't know how to prove it, seeing as he has the ability to wipe their memories of his actions. An upper-tier UDOM.
Power: Wields all of the Teacher's Editions, allowing him to control the rules of the universe as he sees fit. Manipulates Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Astronomy, Psychology, and Math. Originally had significant memory-alteration abilities, allowing him to manipulate a person's memory and perception to make himself unnoticable
Kurt Mendo-
An Opposite Number. Kurt's whole purpose for existing is to oppose the Binarius, Carlos more specifically. Where Carlos is calm and controlled, Kurt is manic and instinctive, taking every chance he can get to fight him. Whatever side Carlos takes, Kurt will always take the opposite side. His Unwinding Spiral is located over his heart, the Spiral beginning around a bullet hole. A mid-upper tier UDOM.
In his previous life, Kurt was Carlos's closest friend and fellow soldier on the battlefield. On the day that Carlos found Sophie, however, Kurt betrayed him and collapsed the roof of the house on him, leading to Carlos being fitted with mechanical lmbs, while Carlos shot him in the heart. That single moment of mutual hatred between two former friends tore open a rift into the Backdrop, which Kurt excaped into. As Kurt floated within the Madness, the bullet lodged in his heart became charged by Kurt's new hatred, reviving him and turning him into the Nemesis of Carlos Binarius and those like him.
Power: Kurt has the ability to turn a Binarius's abilities against them by corrupting their mental data and implanting viruses within their cybernetic bodies. However, the Binarius are not entirely helpless against him; he can only corrupt one file at a time, while they have backups, and he cannot scramble their systems if he cannot concentrate on them. Also, in a straight-up firefight, he cannot affect the weapon once the shot is fired, so he tends to rely on old-fashioned traps and sabotage.
Dro-
Homestuck Title: the Monk of Soul
A very high-level UDOM, Dro is a clever warrior, using his powers in unique ways and exploiting the loopholes in their description. He is largely responsible for the creation of individual Gormim, though only Storia is aware of this. Dro is one of the oldest UDOM, having been around even before the Gormim were even created. He possesses two Unwinding Spirals on his shoulder blades, with the arrows meeting in the middle and twining themselves down his spine.
Power: Dro's ability is to take two or more factors and either cause them to be linked or fully combined. For instance, he creates a Gorem by fusing the Median's soul with their respective element, then with the powers of Bionicle masks. As long as he is in contact with the material or energy, he is able to combine it with anything else he touches. He tends to use both of his hands, one factor in each hand.
Tem-
Homestuck Title: the Heir of Time
Surprisingly serious despite her affiliation, Tem considers herself to be honorable and responsible for any bargain or deal that she makes. Her solemnity makes her the first choice by Gormim to be a representative for serious occasions. As a sometimes-time-traveler, she is viewed as enigmatic by the other UDOM, with very few being aware of her true identity.
Power: Tem has the ability to manipulate time. As the Heir of Time, any injuries she suffers are automatically healed via time reversal.
Ona-
Homestuck Title: the Thane of Force
Ona is a wild, rambunctious female UDOM, always looking to have a good time and exuberantly going about her day. Many older and more mature beings find her exhausting. She is flirtatious and aggressive in a friendly way, and her abilities make her a force to be reckoned with. Sometimes she'll create fireworks or sparks to emphasize her feelings and has a habit of kissing people on the cheek.
Power: Ona has the ability to channel energy in explosive ways, similar to the Bakuton bloodline. She can either create forceful blasts of energy from her extremities, projectiles (though they take effort), concussive shockwaves for repulsion, detonate explosive objects remotely (or prevent said detonation), or even make parts of her body explode with no harm to herself.

"I believe that the human spirit is indomitable. If you endeavor to achieve, it will happen given enough resolve. It may not be immediate, and often your greater dreams is something you will not achieve within your own lifetime. The effort you put forth to anything transcends yourself, for there is no futility even in death."
— Monty Oum
