Codename: Riot
Real Name: Unknown
Other Aliases: Unknown
Age: Unknown, presumed early 20s
Sex: Male
Gender: Male
Height: 6'6" / 198 cm
Weight: 683 lbs / 309 kg
Background:
Born in the New Seattle undercity some time after the Mt. Rainier incident, not much is known about Riot's early childhood. He has two siblings he refuses to discuss with the Hero Union, and may have possible gang ties as well. He claims to have spent most of the past year working as a vigilante or "protector" for a small community of homeless squatters before Sara Deckard persuaded him to join the Hero Union.
Personality:
Riot is defiant and self-assured, and has little respect for traditional authority. Almost paradoxically, he takes orders quite well in the field. He is largely concerned with immediate threats, and his capability as a long-term planner is as-yet untested. Riot displays strong signs of loyalty to those around him, but this may simply be an affectation. Prior to joining the Hero Union his interviews suggest he lead a primarily solitary existence with minimal social interaction. He also believes in the supernatural: magic, demons, and etc. which may prove a vulnerability.
Metahuman Capabilities:
Riot's body is made of metallic carbon, rendering him highly resistant to kinetic energy. His body's structure is an extremely dense crystalline matrix, rendering him significantly heavier than a human of the same size and build. His durability is largely untested, but Riot's body also appears resistant to external sources of extreme heat. Due to the density of his muscles, his strength is also well into the superhuman range, in a laboratory environment he was able to lift nearly a ton. In addition to his metallic skin, Riot is capable of seeing well into both the ultraviolet and infra-red spectrum of light, granting him excellent vision in low- or even no-light conditions. It is unknown whether he can be dazzled by sources of high-intensity ultraviolet light.
Other Skills:
- Knowledge of numerous underworld and undercity individuals and organizations, such as [Redacted].
Known Limitations:
- No sense of smell or taste
- Minimal sense of touch
- Possible vulnerability to electricity
- Possibly superstitious
- Untrained and uneducated, Riot has a bare minimum of useful skills
Hero Union Notes:
- Allowed to join the Hero Union, provisionally, at Sara "Valkyrie" Deckard's request
- Cools quickly when exposed to external heat sources
- As a relative unknown, sales of his action figure have been mediocre thus far, although focus group testing suggest children ages 8-11 think the figure's metalized skin looks 'cool.'
- At Sara Deckard's request, Riot was not assigned a handler. Agents [Redacted] or [Redacted] have both volunteered to manage him, should a handler become necessary.
