Personality: Stratus is vain and self centered. If it doesn’t benefit him he usually won’t do anything outside what is needed. The only reason he would help is if he thinks it will be advantageous having the person to owe him. He doesn’t like being told what to do, and will try to do things himself.

History: Lewis always believed his life truly started when he was given the lead in his middle school’s class play. The youngest of a family of three children he loved the attention of being on stage. Everyone in school talked about it the next day, even more attention than before. He then decided to live for theatre. His small town of Arthur, Nevada wasn’t known for acting. Soon after high school he left for the big city of Hollywood, California. It turned out to be quite a shock to his system. A city of light and possibilities lay before him, and be fought tooth and nail to gain it. He made money with small time jobs, making applications to any studio as an extra or any part available. He thought his sheer talent would make up for his lack of experience. All he could manage was the extras in the end and he never got a shot as actor otherwise. After several years his family finally gave up on supporting him and his non-existent career. By this time Lewis was living well outside of his means and had accumulated a huge debt. Rather than retreat back to his little home town in failure. Lewis took a desperate measure of planning a fire and making a hero of himself by saving the other tenants. Unfortunately, the building’s owner had cut several corners and bribed the inspectors regularly. The fire moved too fast, and the alarms never sounded. With all his plans coming to ruin, Lewis attempted to flee the inferno, but was crushed under the collapsing ceiling. The fire was ruled an accident. Lewis’ soul haunted the wrecked building and the studio that was later built on the cleared lot. He felt no guilt for the 23 people that he had killed, but rather raged that his plan had failed and he died in obscurity.

Custom Hollow Abilities:

Ability 1: Infinite Stick - From his body he secretes a green sticky, stretchy substance which he can use to trap and ensnare his pray. Despite it’s sticky nature, it has a rubbery texture making it hard to cut and break. While he is able to release this slime from all parts of his body, he can shoot large amounts from his hands and mouth. The substance is quite flammable, and stays aflame very long. Upon burning releases a thick smoke into the surrounding area.

Ability 2: Emerald Edge - Named after the green gemstone, this substance is created by channeling his energy into his first ability’s glue/slime. Unlike the crystal it takes it’s name from the substance is as strong as steel and sharp as diamond. It seems in going from a liquid to a solid state, the slime also gets much heavier. The weight increase could be attributed to the heaviness of energy given to it. By release more of his energy into this crystal he is able to shatter it.

Ability 3: Fatal Impact - Rather than forming his normal crystal an unstable emerald substance is made. It's properties and appearance are the same as his second ability except for some key differences. This new substance glows, and when it receives a sharp/hard impact/force it explodes sending fire and sharp crystal shards in every direction. The larger the emerald the bigger the explosion. Although it is based on his energy, he is not immune from these explosions or the resulting shrapnel (unless using his own protective crystal)


Ability 4: Crazy Eight - Eating the powerful Crawler has has an adverse effect on Stratus. Causing him to grow more arms. The second pair have grown right at the shoulder blades. The second at the bottom near his rib cage. While the number of clawed hands has increased Stratus can still only create slime from the original arms (middle). The new limbs are the same size and strength as the original set otherwise.

These arms are retractable when he wishes to grown them he suffers a -10 to Spiritual power. Since more arms does give him a tactical advantage I figured some kind of penalty must be employed. All the arms sprout at once, he cannot keep a set hidden. All or none. He can fuse all three sets of arms together to form a single pair of oversize arms granting him +10 Fighting skill and -10 speed for 3 posts. After those 3 posts he reverts back to his regular arms and must wait 5 more posts before using his 6 arms or empowered arms again.

Rp sample: It happened so quickly, the fire licked at the wall and the smoke filled the room. He coughed, and covered his face with his hands as the blast of heat washed over the room. The fire moved like a living creature, jumping around the room eating the old carpet. The dust filled furniture was the next thing to go, the smell it gave off nearly gagging Lewis. He was captivated by the flames, and yet horrified at this beast he had set free. The creature moved with one purpose; to feed itself. Lewis had started the fire in this room of the building on the top floor since it was unused. It was almost above his own room so his excuse for spotting it before anyone else seemed more plausible. Most people in the building worked early in the morning, so were fast asleep. He continued to watch the fire as it moved, it’s beautiful dance almost complete. The moment of beauty turned to horror as the fire had encircled him, cutting off his exit from the room. The fire overtook the door and snaked beneath into the hallway. The flames had worked up the walls and the ceiling was aglow. The boards groaned weakened as the fire ran it’s course, Lewis couldn’t manage a scream as the poorly quality wood crashed down.

Congrats, and please, be careful around open flames.... lmao
