Character Profile

Codename: Morpho

Real Name: Known, but he keeps it a secret

Mutant Rank: Rank E

Birthday: January 13th

Age: 19

Height: 5 feet and 11 inches / 180.34 centimeters

Weight: 165 lbs. / 75 kg

Occupation: Assassin and Businessman

Personality: Morpho is a fast talker and a laid-back person. Because of his gift for gab, Morpho can talk his way out of most situations. Because of his talents with people, Morpho has no problem making friends, and he seems to have a really good relationship with his employers, often forming a business partner-type relationship with them, becoming more of an associate rather than an employee. He doesn’t really care about the people he meets or works for, only using them to further his quest of becoming extremely wealthy. He will only befriend you and get to know you if it is for his own personal gain and if money is involved.

Biography: Morpho was born in Shield City. His parents originated from Australia, so he picked up the Australian accent and Australian terminology from them at a young age. When he was five years old, his parents were killed in a car crash. He started wandering the streets alone, doing what he can to survive. A few years later, Morpho was trained in martial arts and weaponry, and decided that he wanted to leave his tragic past behind. He began traveling the world and started doing random jobs for crime bosses (espionage, assassinations, theft, finding recruits, drug and weapon trafficking, building a clientele, etc). After gaining a lot of money from his talents, he decided to head back to Shield City to visit the accident site of his parents. He was exposed to the accident during this time, giving him the ability to shape-shift.

Hobbies: Getting money, buying things with his money (expensive clothes, jewelry, cars, apartments, swords and other blades), sharpening his blades, meeting new people, and trying to get bonuses.

Dislikes: Morpho does not really dislike anything in particular, but he hates working with idiots.

Powers: As his name implies, Morpho is a mutant who can change his appearance and shape at will. With his shape-shifting abilities, he can change into various people (men and women), change into various animals, and he is also learning how to change into inanimate objects (although this is very tricky for him). He also tends to hide his actual appearance behind his shape-shifting abilities, making himself look like a better looking version of his actual self. Morpho is also skilled in martial arts and weaponry (mostly using swords). He only uses his morphing abilities in extreme situations.

Weakness: He does not have a specific weakness. He can be hurt in the same way like a normal human being.

Family: None

Friends:
Aura: The Shield Mutant
Downpour: The Storm Mutant
Red Poison: The Thorn Mutant

Boss:
Al Salvatore: The Big Guy
