A League of Their Own: Casting Call


Recommended Posts

I hope an alien is not out of the picture, considering the cast of characters you have here.

 

Name: Meta

 

Species: Versewalker

 

Age: Too many zeros

 

Facial Appearance: Silvery smooth metal as a base layer, with enigmatic symbols carved in and no familiar facial features such as a mouth, nose, or ears. Neck and face are mostly covered by a wrapping of brown cloth, with the exception of what look to be eyes engraved in the metal and a set of goggles to cover said eyes (No night vision installed). He also wears a hat.

 

Appearance: This outfit, minus the face. He stands at about 2 meters with a medium build and weighs in at about 450 kilos.

 

Personality: Clumsy and knowledgeable, with a sense of compassion that is tempered by his pragmatism. He is quick in decision-making and is very blunt and direct to the point, rarely sparing people's feelings except in situations in which it would be beneficial for him to do so. He not afraid to run in the face of impossible odds, and will often be the first into an impossible foray if not other viable options exist. He loves contradictions and occasional discussions about morality, physics, and his species.

 

Physical Abilities: Stronger than the average human and about as fast as one though he has occasional fits of imbalance given that his species developed in a zero-g environment and his weight, which also makes him less than adept at hand to hand with the exception that the weight behind his punches could crush a man's skull. His natural armor is tough enough to resist normal gunfire and being struck by a truck going 160 kilometers per hour, but not tough enough to avoid damage from a high-powered rifle or pole flying at him at 340 meters per second (learned the hard way). It is highly resistant to extreme temperatures to the point that Meta almost considers it laughable when other species attempt to use energy weapons against him, though he's still afraid of being in a spaceship when its core overloads or nearly being shot into a star. Meta's species developed with the ability to see beyond the normal ranges of light to perceive all electromagnetic magnetic frequencies from microwaves to x-rays, though this in itself can be a liability when he has to focus on something in particular. Meta wears a pair of goggles to block his peripheral vision and help him focus more effectively. Meta's species is also naturally deaf given that sound does not travel through space, so instead he has to rely on the actual vibrations of the sound waves to reach him and then he has to interpret those sounds, a process which can either be instantaneous or take a few seconds given what he is wearing and his mood.

 

Other Abilities: Meta's natural means of communications typically involves a broadcast of radio waves that another Versewalker would then receive and be capable of interpreting, which would be equivalent to verbal speech among human beings. In the event where this would not be viable, such as in a one-on-one conversation, two Versewalkers could touch and exchange information electrically. Neither of these methods works in communication with human beings, unless they have a proper modulation device or desire to be electrocuted to death, so Meta has a voice modulation device attached to his neck that can mimic a wide rang of voices and noises. In the event that the device suffers damage he knows sign language, Morse code, and other forms of non-verbal communication. In terms of combat, Meta will often employ a wide variety of weaponry based primarily on whatever he can get his hands on. Whatever he does get his hands on, he extensively modifies to a point beyond any recognition with an exponentially more deadly weapon as a result. Generally all of his modifications will have the ultimate goal of making a weapon plasma based, though that is not a common achievement given the conditions he has to work in at most times. Currently, he carries a Plasma Repeater, a nifty weapon he picked up from the last universe he was in.

 

Means of Travel: A lot of running and jumping with the occasional walk on the beach and a free fall from orbit.

 

Bio: Meta is a Versewalker, a species which developed the ability to travel between universes. They initially evolved as a metallic organism in a planetary system with seven stars that all orbited a single asteroid field. They evolved from this collection of rocks until they had an empire spanning multiple galaxies and, eventually, universes. The empire then collapsed as an experiment to replicate the Big Bang went wrong and destroyed every universe it was conducted in, which was every universe controlled by the Verserwalker empire. The surviving Versewalkers, who had been in other realities on expeditions or diplomatic missions, were hunted down by a coalition of races formerly under the control of the empire. They were not even aware of what had occurred until they were hunted to the point of extinction. Meta himself was the last to be captured and be put on trial for the crimes of his people, though instead of executing him like all of the rest, the coalition decided to imprison him as an example for all eternity. He escaped and since then they have never been able to track him down, lacking the lifetime to hunt down a being that can hunker down and simply wait for them to die. Currently Meta wanders universes and has come across Gallion, a place that has caught his interest.
