Powers:

GENETIC MANIPULATION

Blood Manipulation: The closest thing he has to a primary, given how many uses he's found for it. Ingestion or absorption of blood can be directed to heal himself and any damage done to his dermal armor, but he's wholly unable to heal anyone else. He can draw blood out of a person's body (or his own) and use it as a weapon by crystallizing it. Other fun tidbits like causing pain and blood clots are possible, but he takes that route less often. In dire circumstances, he can actually manipulate blood to physically move people like a marionette, but that takes an enormous amount of energy and concentration so you won't see him doing it much.

Dermal Armor: He can alter the structure of his skin, nails, hair, and feathers to become any organic substance. Diamond, chitin, enamel, etc they're all fair game but something like steel is out of the picture.

WINGS

Large, white feathered wings - following the trend in some birds, his wingspan, wingtip to wingtip, is roughly three times his height - about 18 feet. They fold up fairly compactly along his back, but he has very little hope of passing for normal because they do not fit comfortably under a shirt: he winds up looking like he's got some weird growth on his shoulders and back and it's just no good. If he wants to look completely human, someone's gotta cast an illusion for him or something. He uses his wings for flight and protection, basically living shields.

In a nutshell, he can fly in, take a massive beating, absorb some blood, and feel right as rain. ~~I have him as Tank #1 for Echo, but I was debating between that and Tank #2 for Alpha. Any opinions/thoughts?~~ Nevermind, I've been converted, I think. :o

	I'd recommend switching him to Alpha Tank #2, but I'm also biased because I have two Alphas, and one of them is the handler for that role. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Alpha would honestly give me a little more leeway with his history so I was considering it... (I'd briefly thought about Bravo too but a dude with 18ft wings. Not subtle.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thereaper 2016-08-12 12:01 pm UTC (link)
	Definitely not subtle. Sooo Alpha team says 'sup? XD (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	frameshift 2016-08-12 12:30 pm UTC (link)
	I MEAN. IT'S SO TEMPTING. He'd have teammates AND handler. SO MAYBE YES. This is a good idea. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Echo will fill up eventually, probably after Alpha does, but yesss so many more lines right now. :X (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tbh, I mostly chose Echo because y'know a savior/extraction role with his wings seemed appropriate, but Alpha seems more in your face which I like. (Plus immediate lines which I really like.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That's a pretty legit reason, but shhh, you're with Alpha now, everything's okay. :3 And he gets a hardass, frosty bitch of a handler who'll push the tanks and healer past their limits regularly, named Leah Steele. And honestly some of that will probably involve making Backlash bleed so Frameshift can use some of that blood and the healer can heal it up. :X It's okay to feel bad for him.

	frameshift 2016-08-12 02:11 pm UTC (link)
	Yessss. He'd actually deal really well with a frosty bitch handler and his personality is one of like... perfectionist, workaholic, etc so he welcomes that challenge. I LOVE THIS NGL. He probably needs practice extracting blood from people SOOOO. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Backlash has lots and lots of blood... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hmmmmmmmm that's pretty convenient... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh, then they'll get along beautifully. Backlash kinda loves it, too, the crazy bastard. It makes his brother cringe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Frameshift's kind of like... the guy that just REALLY wanted to be normal, get married to a nice guy or gal, have kids, and live a boring life. But since he can't he's channeling all that frustration into being the best tank he can be so, ta-da! Leah gets an overly dedicated super out of the deal.

HAHA. Frameshift says a hbic can get it, tbh. Like that's just a quality he admires. XD

	Whatever makes him do his best, she's fine with that. And might find a way to exploit. Either way, she's not complaining as long as he does what she asks of him without complaining too much~ Yaaaas. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	frameshift 2016-08-12 06:11 pm UTC (link)
	He's 90% frustration & annoyance, 10% anxiety, basically. And he's got a smart mouth but not really the type to actually argue with a superior, with maybe the exception of times when he's worried a fellow team member is in danger. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thereaper 2016-08-12 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	He'll still be less of a handful than his fellow tank. He'll be the good child she's always telling Backlash to be more like. XD (Reply to this) (Parent)

Yes, join Alpha! Del here is their Damage #2, gravity manipulation with a side of life-force absorption. So far it seems like he's the team nutcase, might or might not be as insane as he portrays himself to be! He's the one laughing his head off in extreme missions with shit exploding around them, he totally gets a thrill out of his job. He's pretty friendly, a bit sarcastic, pretty apathetic about the program as a whole but extremely loyal to his teammates!

	Alpha team, yeah! Say hi to your teammate who is not above drinking your blood to heal himself (with explicit permission, of course). Frameshift is fairly staid and probably comes off as the team dad/big brother in some ways? But also hella sarcastic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demolishing 2016-08-12 02:58 pm UTC (link)
	Del would actually be totally okay with him drinking his blood if/when needed, it's no problem for him to refill his own energy by touching a baddie and sucking up all their good stuff ;D And oh man, these two can be sarcastic together and Del would probably call him Pops for being such a dad!

Hahahaha, I suspect it has to be really dire for him to use his teammates' blood: otherwise he'll just draw blood out of fallen enemies after battle to heal himself. But he would definitely ask like "hey can i get some of your blood, man?" YES. I love sarcastic assholes being sarcastic tbh and look secretly Frameshift would find that nickname both amusing and maybe a little charming.

	demolishing 2016-08-12 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	Wow, such a dude. Del's answer would definitely have to be "yeah of course, bro." WELL as long as he's finding it amusing, Del will definitely continue to use it. He might or might not be on the search for nicknames Frameshift don't like though, just because there has to be a good balance of tolerance and annoyance :D (Reply to this) (Parent)

Backlash is Alpha Tank #1 and they share a handler, so they will definitely know each other. He's a solid team member who is maybe a little accident prone, but can you blame a man for liking to get his hands dirty? They should have sparring matches in Inferno (the danger room thing) and keep a running tally of wins/losses, sort of a friendly competition over who the better tank is? Frameshift can be winning!

(Reply to this) (Thread)

	frameshift 2016-08-12 03:10 pm UTC (link)
	Tank buddies! And Frameshift is like an annoying over-protective dad who just wants to keep people safe tbh so he's basically the one jumping in and trying to block shots with his wings. So they are probably both getting the shit kicked out of them on the regular???I am all about sparring matches and friendly competition, no matter who's winning!! (Reply to this) (Parent)

He's like a vampire with giant wings! This is awesome!

That will largely be Elia's response to him. Elia/Nocturne is Alpha's wildcard! She's an umbrakinetic who creates tiny little monster constructs to do her bidding – no one should be surprised that she's the slightest bit cracked.

She's also very effective, and between Dragon and her handler (someone should really make Handler #3!), they keep her in line.
