Bioshift
From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe
Bioshift is one of my, if not my most favorite character. He's a blast to play in any situation, be it RP, PvE, or PvP.
Getting sent to the Zig turned out to be a lucky break for Derek. It was here that he met the men that would become his teammates in the group known as the Breakouts. With their help, Derek broke free of the Ziggurat and escaped to the Rogue Isles. He and his teammates have plans to make a name for themselves in the Isles and ultimately, Paragon City.
Halfway (Mason Maddox): The lunatic known as Halfway and the man known as Mason Maddox are a mystery to Derek. Although clearly one person, their personalities are different enough that they could be from different planets. While Halfway is bloodthirsty and a great addition to the team, Mason is more held back. While Derek has become fast friends with Mason, he thinks that Halfway is a greater asset to the team.
Webspider (Kenneth Rockwell): The leader of the group as well as co-founder. Kenneth is a natural leader, to bad Arachnos didn't see this potential. Derek sees Arachnos' loss as his gain. He's sure that Kenneth has his own hidden agenda, but he hasn't figured out what it is. Until he does, he's happy enough working with the man as long as the money keeps rolling. Derek calls him Kenny.
Hideout (Clancy Callahan): A thief with the ability to render himself invisible. Clancy is a scout of sorts for the group, often running ahead to assess the plan of action. He's only interested in the money, usually putting him at odds with Derek and Mason who love to investigate their conspiracy theories. Derek loves to piss him off by calling him 'the Clanceman' and alerting their foes to his whereabouts while he's invisible.
There are several words to describe Derek. Arrogant, haughty, stuck-up. Notice that none of these words are positive. That's because, Derek isn't a very nice person. He's rude and nasty to everyone he meets for the sole reason that he thinks he's better than everyone else. The only people that he is semi-nice to are his teammates in the Breakouts, and even then he is constantly referring to himself as superior.
A firm believer in "might makes right" and "brawn over brains", Derek has adopted a policy of "hit first, ask questions later" and will usually act without thinking, much to the chagrin of his teammates. This usually forces them to enter the fray a little early in order to rescue Derek. It also makes him very bad at sneaking around.
Body Shaping: Derek has the unique ability to change his height, weight, and muscle mass. This is not the same as shapeshifting.
Superior Strength: Derek's strength is directly tied to his muscle mass. Therefore, the bigger he gets, the stronger he gets.
