Character History
James Boyd was a dedicated soldier in UNTIL when the opportunity to volunteer for Project Fortify came up. Project Fortify was the "child" of Project Onslaught but was focused on not so aggressive capabilities. Project Fortify looked at creating advances in human durability and strength.
James's body was introduced to a crystalline substance that was meant to enter and reinforce his cellular structure. Instead the crystal laced and replaced his cells, turning him into a living diamond.
James was given new training to take advantage of his new powers, and the codename Diamondskin. He was then placed into various UNTIL super teams over the next few years, working his way up the UNTIL ladder.
Personality
Diamondskin is also having some personal troubles. He is coming to terms with the after affects of being transformed to a crystalline being. Currently he is feeling shunned by normal society.
He never waivers in helping his friends. He is still a true hero, always ready to sacrifice himself if the need arises, even as he comes to terms with being a monstrous human.
Powers
Strength
Diamondskin's diamond body is superhumanly strong since his bodily tissue is vastly more powerful than the organic muscular and skeletal structures of a normal human.
Stamina
Since the muscle tissue of Diamondskin's body is solid diamond, it is vastly superior and more efficient than normal human muscle tissue. Diamondskin possessed almost inexhaustible physical stamina. However, Diamondskin's brain does require sleep on occassion so he has to rest himself at least on occassion.
Durability
Diamondskin's body is composed of diamond, the hardest natural substance on Earth, his body is virtually invulnerable to conventional physical injury. He has shrugged off rocket launchers, thousands of volts of eletricity, exposure to temperatures as high as several thousand degrees, powerful lasers, Titanium bullets, falls from tremendous heights, and tremendous impact forces without sustaining injury.
Regenerative Healing Factor
In spite of his great durability, it is possible for Diamondskin to be injured or even be destroyed. However if part of his body is injured or broken, he rapidly regenerates the damage. He once regrew a shattered hand in less than an hour. However, if most or all of his body is shattered, he requires outside assistance to gather the shattered pieces before he can reassemble himself.
Abilities
- Diamondskin possesses extensive experience in street-fighting techniques.

Trivia
CoH version of Diamondskin
Original CO look of Diamondskin
- Diamondskin will patrol the streets, never refusing to help anyone in distress. If he sees or hears trouble, he will fight it, no matter what level the encounter. It can take Diamondskin a while to get across town.
- Diamondskin is a recreation from my character Diamondskin from City of Heroes. While not the same character, there are a lot of foundations similar between them.
- Diamondskin started out in City of Heroes as a Invulnerable/Super Strength Tank. Later, due to story line, he became a Stone Armor/Super Strength Tank.
- Diamondskin, in City of Heroes, was the first character I created. Diamondskin was the first character I created in Champions Online.
