Voreen
Contents
Appearance and Traits
Voreen is capable of looking however she wishes to look. Usually when she's doing the whole hero thing she appears as a humanoid woman roughly 6 feet tall with green skin and hair with matching eyes. She has a red form-fitting combat out fit with vines wrapped around her forearms. She can however alter her form at will.
English is not her first language and while she speaks it fluently her accent tends to come off with a rather over-deliberate pronounciation far less likely to use expressions comfortably, less use of contractions. All and all, she sounds kind of foreign.
Personality
Voreen is a kind hearted soul most of the time, though she does not shy away from combat. She is outgoing though with english as a non-native tongue she can be a litter slower at getting ideas accross, though her command of the speech has gotten rather well over time.
Voreen is rather open with her thoughts and can even come off as a tad boistrous at times, but all and all she's a kind soul who's just trying to make a positive impact on a planet she now calls her home.
History
Voreen was born on a planet known as Sha-Prylen. It's a word of botanoid aliens who can grow themselves into any shape they wish. Usually this process takes days. For voreen it is mere moments, she was born a mutant, her metabolism was on overdrive and she was capable of even absorbing plant-matter and incorporating it into her biomass to aid in the recovery of any beating she had taken. The later ability had caused a fair portion of the population to regard her with some fear, but her dedication in fighting for what's right generally kept her viewed in a positive light.
That all changed when the Hzeel invaded. The Hzeel were an expansionistic race of short blue-skinned aliens. They struck Sha-Prylen hard, penetrating all its defenses. Voreen fought for the defense of her planet but in the end was bested, captured, and shipped off as a scientific curiosity, a mutant Prylenish, for later dissection and analysis. Voreen never reached her destination, she was able to escape her imprisonment, sieze control of the ship, without any idea of how to read the navigation however she soon found herself lost in space. Without a hope, her salvation came in the form of a Malvan, a man known as Ikellos the quaint. He found her in that Hijacked Hzeel ship near out of fuel, he took her in, and she served him as a slave.
Malvan slavery was not entirely bad. It is a society where all worldly needs are fullfilled by robots of marvelous technology. In fact many aliens willingly become Malvan slaves for a life of luxury in Malva. Voreen was among those slaves, as a shapeshifting alien she was an amusement used for show, much like the Rion'esh. However she showed skilled in combat, which caused her to be loaned off to Tatykles on a few occasions for Gladiatory shows in the Forum Malvanum, located on the earth's moon.. In time she learned of earth from terrestrial gladiators who graced the halls.
Eventually she left Ikellos's service, on quite good terms. He left her with a ship that was of sufficiently low enough technology to not displease the Phazor. And she headed off to Earth to try to forge her own path again. She has spent time fighting crime along side Human mutants and has come to call this world home.
Powers
Fast Shape Shifting
Prylenish can grow into new forms over the course of several days. Voreen is a prylenish, she can grow into a new form rather quickly. This allows her to quickly assume a wide variety of forms and disguises on the fly. She can also lash out with tendrils formed from her biomass for ranged combat. She generally uses such things to try to get her opponent into punching range.
Really Strong
Voreen is one strong plant, she is easily brick levels strength. Her primary means of attack generally consists of punching things.
Reconstruction
This green alien can use her ability to manipulate her own body into new shapes to heal herself. It functions best when she consciously directs it, allowing her to quickly seal up and regrow tissue over wounds. This doesn't undo any moisture loss however she might get from bleeding from such wounds before she repairs them. If unconscious her body will slowly rebuild itself if it has water and sunlight.
Floral Bio-absorption
Voreen as part of her mutant powers can absorb living vegetable matter. On her homeworld it was a horrifying ability in a world populated by sentient plants. Against mammals she is far less fearsome, though in a highly plant-filled enviroment she can replace biomass really easily by abosrbing nearby plantlife.
Prylenish Inherent Abilities
As a prylenish alien she has a few perks. She is a plant and can derive sustenance from sunlight and water, this process tends to be too slow for her metabolic demands requiring her to supliment it with sugar. As a consequence she likes sweet drinks. As a plant her vital anatomy is far less vital. This can lead mammals who thought they have killed her to leave her seemingly dead body where it is for it to gradually recover. She has plant empathy, allowing her to inherently be aware of the general state of any plantlife nearby.
Complications
Water Dependant
Voreen has a higher water intake than the native mammals of earth. Attacks and abilities that dessicate their victim are super effective on her.
Difficult to Treat
As an alien, Voreen has an anatomy that is rather, well, alien to terrestrial medics. If she's requires medical attention it can be rather hard to treat her.
High Octane Metabolism
Voreen's mutant abilities have a high metabolic tax. If she takes it easy and naps often in the sun she can conserve energy and not have to suppliment, but combat and other high energy activities will blow through her energy reserves rather fast, forcing Voreen to dump more energy in her system in the form of sugar or absorbed plant matter, or get very tired and eventually pass out.
Other Heroes' Thoughts
"Can't say I've taken the time to know Voreen past her combat specs. Her powers and levelheadedness make her handy in a fight and that outfit makes her easy on the eyes. You'll get no complaints from me on either front." - All-Star
