Alexander Cuvier

[Alexander Cuvier]

[PTabbedContent][PTab=GENERAL INFORMATION] CHARACTER INFO: NAME: Alexander Cuvier ALIAS: Experiment 83, Tiger Shark, Alex AGE: 25 OCCUPATION: MEMBER GROUP: Mutants, Superhumans, Villains POWERS AND ABILITIES: Being almost a complete clone of the King of Atlantis, Tiger Shark is far stronger than most. Although he can hold his against Namor and Aquaria, he is completely outclassed by them. His abilities are as follows; Superhuman Strength: Tiger Shark has an immensely enhanced strength, and is capable of lifting up to fifty tons. However, fifty tons is his limit of strength, and he isn’t any stronger than that. The longer he has been out of water, the weaker he becomes. Superhuman Speed: Tiger Shark is much faster than normal humans, being able to run at about 45 mph on land; however it is in the water where he excels; he is the fastest swimmer, even faster than Namor or Aquaria due to the mixing of shark DNA; he can swim at speeds of up to 375 mph within the water. Superhuman Stamina: Tiger Shark has much higher stamina than other humans; Tiger Shark can be active and working for a total of twelve hours without tiring. After such time passes, normal fatigue begins to set in. This is also tied to how long he’s been out of the water; the time lessening the longer he’s been dry. Superhuman Durability: Tiger Shark is much more durable than your average person, though far less so than his genetic donor; at most, he’s about a fourth as durable as Namor. He can survive a lot, and even go toe to toe with your average Asgardian or Atlantean, but he’s not invincible, and he will take damage from falls, people stronger than him, and shells from canons and tanks. Superhuman Reflexes: Tiger Shark can move much more quickly than an average person, and he can catch slower moving projectiles such as arrows. Amphibious Physiology: Due to the Atlantean and Tiger Shark DNA, Tigershark is well adapted to an aquatic environment, and has gills and lungs to help him live on both land and sea. He can see underwater and in murky water quite well, and he can survive the pressures of the deep. He does need contact with saltwater to help keep him in top form, however. Healing Factor: Tiger Shark also has the accelerated healing factor, though once again, this is fairly reduced. He heals much faster in the water as well, though usually it takes several days to possibly a week or two for him to recover from heavy damage, even longer if it was incredibly severe. Iron Stomach: His Tiger Shark DNA mixed with Namor’s has led to a fairly useless mutant ability; like the Tiger Shark, he is capable of eating things that aren’t exactly in the class of 'food'; steel cans, tires, etc. Man made objects and rotting food don’t seem to bother him much at all. He will still be affected by poisons or poisonous things, but outside of that? He can eat anything. Not that it really provides any nutrition or anything. In addition, losing teeth isn’t a big deal for him; like a shark, he has multiple sets of teeth, and they will constantly regrow. Superhuman Senses: Once again, more of a combination between his shark side and Namor’s genetics; Tiger Shark has an extremely enhanced sense of smell, especially when it comes to blood. He can smell it from 10 miles away, and he’ll also sort of be able to tell if the person is suffering from some sickness in the blood. In addition, his hearing is incredibly good, able to hear things from about 12 miles away, and tune into frequencies humans can’t hear; with as sensitive as his hearing is, though, he is very susceptible to sonic attacks. He also has an innate sense of direction, due to being able to navigate by the electro magnetic frequencies. He always knows exactly where he is and what direction he should travel in, being able to find his way home. Finally, like many other Atlanteans, in the water he has a sonar like ability; using vibrations he is able to orient himself and know, instinctively which way to go, and where other fish, people, or objects are in the water. SKILLS: Languages: Tiger Shark is fluent in German, Latin and English. He also knows several phrases in many other languages (mostly insults). He does have the capability to be able to learn Atlantean, but due to his intellect and having never used those vocal cords, it is unlikely to happen. Skilled Combatant: The main skill set Tiger Shark is equipped with; He knows a lot of martial arts; Jeet Kun Do, Krav Maga, Tiger Style Kung Fu, Muay Thai, Wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu. While he’s not a master at any of them, he does know how to mix and match and use all of them to great effect. He’s also been trained in knife fighting and it’s the only bladed weapon he uses. He knows how to use firearms, but there never really seemed to be a point for him to ever use them personally. He is also trained in stealth tactics, even if doesn't use them all too often. Escape Artist: Tiger Shark is also good at getting out of places he shouldn't be able to get out of, often waiting for an opportune moment to slip out of holding cells and be out and about for as long as he possibly can. He's good at slipping out of restraints and picking locks; and unlike most human escape artists, most boxes will not be able to hold him. PLAYBY: Jon Kortajarena OOC INFO: PLAYER NAME: Norse AGE: 24 GENDER: Lady TIMEZONE: EST OTHER CHARACTERS: Sigyn, Alice, Jay, Nadezhda. [/PTab][PTab=PERSONNEL ASSESSMENT] PERSONALITY ASSESSMENT: LIKES: Abusing Air Quotes: He thinks they add “emphasis” to whatever “words” you “say”. He doesn’t “get” that they’re supposed to be “ironic”. Quentin Tarintino Films: Being the violent person he is, Tiger shark likes to see movies that show it off, and while he particularly enjoys action flicks, Mr. Tarintino has made some of his favorite films; Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and of course, both volumes of Kill Bill. Training: Tiger Shark enjoys training and will do it for hours on end, just because. It’s not like there was much else for him to do in the first place. Smoking: Introduced to it in his teenage years, Tiger Shark now enjoys the activity. The nicotine doesn’t do much to calm him down though, but he likes the taste and thinks it makes him look cool. Mostly he smokes cigarettes. Being Entertained: Tiger Shark loathes being bored. If he’s not training, he’s fighting. If he’s not fighting, he’s thriving on some form of entertainment. In desperate times, he will even read books if there’s nothing else for him to do. In addition, he is movement oriented, never being able to stay still for very long. Hip Hop/Rap: The music of talking about how rich you are, how awesome you are and dissing people? Yeah, it speaks to him. Sweets: Unlike pure Atlanteans, Tiger Shark has the ability to actually taste sweet and having been raised with them, he’s come to have a little bit of a sweet tooth. His favorite sweet is cheesecake. DISLIKES: Laboratories: Being raised and confined in a Lab for all of his life, Tiger Shark has an immense dislike of them and will not set foot in one if he can avoid it. He’d rather never set foot in one ever again. Sadists: Tiger Shark is brash, a bully and has a tendency to go overboard while fighting, not to mention he enjoys the fighting. However, he has distaste for sadistic people; causing pain simply for the sake of causing pain just gets under his skin. Electricity: Tiger Shark has an extreme hatred of electricity, as it was used by HYDRA to keep him under control. Anyone using electricity against him had better beware, because electric attacks just make him more pissed off at you. Namor: Tiger Shark was meant to be like Namor, but never was. Being told his whole life about the man, Tiger Shark resents and hates him at the moment; He is far superior to Namor, so HE should be king of Atlantis! Or so he thinks. British People: They all sound like sissy men, and therefore they must be gay. He doesn’t understand why anyone likes them. They're alright in Gladiator though. Everyone knows all Romans were also gay. Shakira: She sounds like a goat; why does anyone think she can sing? Because she can't. HYDRA: Being treated as a tool to be used at their convenience among other injustices makes him immensely dislike the organization. STRENGTHS: Resilient: Despite being less than stellar in the intellect department, Tiger Shark is extremely resilient, sticking to his guns no matter what. He’s incredibly stubborn, and as such, it’s very difficult to get him to do anything he doesn’t want to do, if one is only using persuasion tactics. Loyal: This is a difficult thing to do, but if you bond with Tiger Shark, he is loyal. To a point; he’ll fight with you and for you, and help you, but if at any point it looks like he might actually die? He is out of there. You would have to be pretty impressive for him to be willing to die for you. Empathic: Tiger Shark is very good at reading people he comes into contact with, being able to pick up on subtle body language cues about intentions or feelings. Change: Tiger Shark’s biggest strength is his capacity for change; he does not have to remain the way he currently is, and is more than capable of changing…for better or for worse. He’s not stuck on his current path and can become a better person. WEAKNESSES: Aggressive: Due to the splicing of Tiger Shark genes in his code, Tiger Shark possesses an above-average aggressiveness and easily loses his cool, often going directly into full out confrontations with people, including people much stronger than himself. Stupid: Despite thinking he is very smart and clever, he is quite the opposite. With a measured IQ of only 85, He is not the brightest bulb in the bunch. It takes him much longer to learn something; he’s not as intuitive as other people, and he’s more prone to act on his impulses, which ties in with… Overconfident: Tiger Shark believes himself to be far more competent, superior, and smart than he really is. This often sets up any of his plans for failure, if they’re the good ones at least. He likes to boast and brag and talk, which will often get him in trouble, as he overestimates himself and underestimates his enemies. Sheltered: Tiger Shark has been raised in a lab his entire life, and though he’s been educated and even been outside (on missions only), he’s never truly experienced the real world and how it works, and he’s ignorant of many things contained within it. Cynical: Tiger Shark doesn’t understand kindness or being nice. It was never something he was ever truly exposed to, and thus, he’s distrusting and cynical of people who try to approach him with kindness. They must be up to something. You can’t trust anyone like that. He is the same way with scientists. Naive/Easily Influenced: With the fact that Tiger Shark has not been exposed to the real world, it is very easy to convince him to do something because 'everyone does it'. In addition, Tiger Shark’s more teenage personality lends itself to him being easily manipulated into doing something because it’s ‘cool’ or he’d be considered a wuss for not doing it. Women: Tiger Shark is not exactly adept at romance or even understanding girls, and is prone to try and impress them even more than his peers. He is thus is even more easily manipulated by ladies, though he doesn’t think so. GOALS: Tiger Shark’s main goal is to escape HYDRA. He doesn’t have much else in the way of goals after that, except to be free to do what he wants to do. Deep down, his other, even more pressing goal, is to find a place to belong, to be accepted, to be praised, and really, to be loved. He also wants to depose Namor and become King of Atlantis. FEARS: The major fear Tiger Shark possesses is, predictably, rejection. He fears it deeply; he fears never being accepted, never finding a place to fit in, never being treated like he ought to be treated. Like most teenagers, he’s still trying to find his place in the world. OVERALL PERSONALITY: ILL-TEMPERED: Alex is a naturally aggressive person, always ready to confront and fight anyone or anything that gets in his way. Combined with his short fuse, it's very easy for him to be set off and start damaging things and people around him. He doesn't usually hold back either, often going more than a little overboard during his rampages. SUPERIOR: Like his "father", Alex believes himself to be superior to others. He is stronger, faster, and just all around better than other people, and he will let you know it. He also genuinely believes that he is extremely smart, leading to him having a hard time learning from his mistakes, as he always believes that someone or something else is at fault with his plans. His attitude can get grating on some people, especially because he's always rude and condescending about it, unless he actually respects someone, which is a hard thing to achieve. TEENAGER: Despite being in his mid-20's, due to his upbringing, Alexander has the emotional maturity of a teenager. He's easily manipulated or peer pressured into doing some incredibly stupid things, all for the sake of looking cool and impressing people, especially women. He will do things he probably should reconsider, all because he never wants to be considered a chicken. His more teenage aspects also feed into his more impulsive and more rebellious nature; he often does the opposite of what people want, just to be spiteful. STUBBORN: Alex does whatever he wants when he wants, and doesn't listen to anyone telling him any different. He usually makes up his mind about someone pretty quickly, and changing first impressions will take a lot of work. His will is incredibly strong, and he doesn't bend to anyone, not without forceful persuasion anyway. Even then, he is defiant and will voice his displeasure and annoyance at being forced to do something. AMORAL: Being raised in a lab by HYDRA scientists, Alex's moral core is more than a little messed up. He doesn't see anything wrong in doing whatever he wants because he's superior to everyone around him; he doesn't have a sense of right or wrong. He's killed people, well, because he was told to kill people. People trying to stop him from getting what he wants will get tossed out of the way if he feels like it, and that's if he's being nice. Going through people had never been a difficult thing for him. However, he's not irredeemable; he can become a better person, if he makes the choice to do so, which is his biggest strength; he does not have to stay on the path he was set upon. HISTORICAL OVERVIEW: BIRTHPLACE: Kiel, Germany, at one of the HYDRA bases. RESIDENCE: Currently he’s still in the HYDRA lab; this will be changing soon. After that, he’ll probably find someplace close to the sea to set up shop. PARENTS: Namor Mckenzie|99|Genetic “donor”|Alive Aquaria|97|Cousin|Alive Dorma|95|Cousin|Alive Dr. Klaus Zellweger|81|Previous Head Scientist of Project Leviathan|Dead Dr. Jakob Bauer|79|Current Head of Project Leviathan|Alive Dr. Lemuel Arliss|68|Main Handler|Alive SIBLINGS: All the other experiments didn’t survive so he has none that are living. IMPORTANT RELATIVES: Namor; Tiger Shark holds contempt for the Avenging Son; He was always compared to the King of Atlantis, and even though he knows (well he thinks) he is smarter and stronger than his “father” everyone was disappointed in his inability to be like his father. So he really dislikes Namor. IMPORTANT PERSON: None, but he’s certain he’ll be GREAT at wooing ladies though (He won’t be) OVERALL HISTORY: Tiger Shark's history begins almost fifty years before he was even created. In 1943, a year before the War ended, Dr. Klaus Zellweger and his agents managed to get a hold of a few strands of hair from Namor. The goal was to create an army of clones of the powerful leader, except all under the control of the Nazis. It was labeled project Leviathan. However, cloning technology was mostly theoretical at this time and wasn't even close to being able to clone something as complicated as a person. Project Leviathan began anyway, hoping to develop the technology within a decent time frame. When the Nazi party fell, Project Leviathan turned to HYDRA for funding. The years went on, and as what happens over time, Namor's DNA began to degrade; The scientists began to desperately scramble to fill in the gaps, using a variety of sea mammals and other aquatic creatures in order to simulate more of the Atlantean half of the DNA. The DNA that bonded the best was that of various shark species, and with a capable human donor to fill in the other gaps, the project was back on track. In 1990, they finally had a complete success in experiment eighty-three; a combination between Tiger Shark, human and Namor DNA. Dr. Klaus had lived long enough to see his project bear fruit. Sadly, 83 wasn't as much of a success the scientists had initially hoped; his abilities were much weaker than his "father's" and in addition, he was far less intelligent. This was due to the Tiger Shark DNA itself, and though project Leviathan continued to try and produce a better success, Tiger Shark remained their one and only. He wasn’t great, but HYDRA always needed more attack dogs. He was attempted to be as thoroughly educated as possible, but due to his below-average intellect, not a lot of things stuck. Where he excelled was his physical training, and furthermore, he enjoyed it. He was taught to kill, and killed his first man at the tender age of ten. However, 83 proved to be more impulsive and temperamental than his genetic donor. He was difficult to reason with, and it took him much longer to learn from past mistakes. Dealing with his stubborn and brash personality proved difficult, but HYDRA managed to keep him under control through the use of a rather powerful shock collar along with a handler. Currently, he is still under the thumb of HYDRA, and is only let outside if he's on an assignment. His ultimate goal is to escape his HYDRA prison and begin living in the outside world; free to do whatever he wants to do.
