Basic info
Height: 6'6"
Weight: 250 lbs
Origin: Ephemeran (enhanced)
Abilities
Vorenus' physical abilities have been enhanced to the extreme limit of what the Ephemeran body is capable of through a number of secretive processes by the Abyssal Imperium. He has routinely demonstrated the ability to exert over half a ton of physical force. His reflexes are near-instantaneous, enabling him to react to stimuli in 0.1 seconds, on average. His immune system swiftly neutralizes virtually all diseases and toxins, and prevents fatigue by continually purging his system of fatigue toxins, making him effectively tireless. He heals approximately ten times faster than even the healthiest Ephemeran, and is able to recover completely from what would otherwise be permanent or even fatal injuries, including regrowing lost or severely damaged body parts. He can reach up to a 60 mph running speed. Like all Ephemerans, he has an innate resistance to magic.
Skills
Vorenus' brain has likewise been enhanced by Imperium science, and is capable of processing and recalling information at a truly dizzying rate, allowing him to acquire skills and languages in a fraction of the time required by even the most naturally gifted Ephemeran. His training has focused almost exclusively on combat and survival skills, so in these arenas he is virtually unmatched. He can find sustenance and shelter in even the most inhospitable of environments. He can move quickly and stealthily over even the roughest or most exposed terrain, and can track prey over great distances. He has mastered all weapons available to the Imperium, but has shown a marked preference for close-quarters melee weapons, such as swords and axes. In incredibly stressful circumstances, he will occasionally erupt in a "berserker rage," during which he will lash out wildly and seem both impervious to pain and incapable of discerning friend from foe; whether this is a side-effect of his enhancements or an inherent quality is unknown.
Gear
Gear can vary widely depending on circumstances, but he ensures that he is always carrying some form of melee weapon, at the very least.
Background
Vorenus was taken from his home and had his memory wiped by the Abyssal Imperium, and spent years undergoing agonizing physical and mental enhancement processes and a training regimen that would have killed most mortal beings. While his ability to survive in the most unforgiving natural and constructed environments and kill virtually anything set against him were beyond satisfactory to his controllers, his rage and tendency to rebel and attempt to escape eventually wore down both their personnel and patience, and aside from being brought out for the occasional demonstration or gladiatorial bout, he was kept in almost permanent stasis in Lunaris City.
Vorenus' long-sought freedom finally arrived when Trinity crashed a massive space station into the capital city, reducing it to a blasted ruin and violently ejecting the captive warrior from his imprisonment. He has since become a wanderer, occasionally taking up with smaller groups of Ephemeran survivors and resistence fighters, but always moving on when he tires of their company or finds his rage and brutality has made him unwelcome.
