Prof. Haun
05-07-07, 02:21 PM
Name: Professor Feronius Haun IV
Age: 26
Race: Mongrel (Mixture of Cairn Terrier and Wolf)
Hair Color: White (with the odd streak of purple)
Eye Color: White (left) Yellow (right)
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 125lbs
Occupation: Alterist
Personality: Well, hes a mad scientist. Not evil mad, just very eccentric and unable to see things most of us take for granted, like how not everyone is pleased with his work, or that there are very good reasons for a man not needing a sixth finger, but all that aside hes generally quite nice. A recluse from day one Haun has very little in the way of social skills which results in him just being very quiet and scribbling down what he think he'd like to say on a notepad, go through the calculations of wether the other person would like to hear that, find his conclusion and then do it twice more to see if he got consistent results using variations in punctuation and timing.
Anything past hello takes a bit of time as you can imagine.
When he finally gets his nose out of the books though he comes across as someone thats very pleasant, harmless is another word, someone that might dissect a fly and extrapilate its exact reason for living and breathing, but he wouldn't hurt it first. The strange thing about this personality is that even when hes experimenting it hasn't been lost, a person could be growing a new pair of legs and he'd still be nice and shy with them, usually causing the dwindling mentality of the subject to be reassured by this and just accept whats going on despite common sense.
Appearance: A very eccentric figure this mongrel was,standing at 6'1 he was completely harmless looking, his form wirey, lanky and incredibly thin. Any actual bulk on his body being from a very worn, burnt, marked and stained yet still somewhat white Lab-coat ,clinking and jangling with its myriad of contents. Kept around his waist with rope was a baggy pair of brown denim trousers, even with this make-shift belt it still hung very loosely on his near skeletal frame. Behind him is an immense bundle of fluffy fur that could almost resemble a tail, just not for him, its length was of four foot and while his fur was naturally a black this thing was a trio of colours, striped with pink, yellow and a deep dusky orange.
Propped upon his head were a pair of large almost bat-like ears, but they were fully canine, a large bite mark taken out of one, few would ever expect it was he who had bitten it.His hair is a pure shocking white and while resting thick on his head, somehow is able to look very scraggly and messy, like a scrubber of wire wool but yet soft as silk. Beneath that mane was his two discoloured eyes, always covered by his glasses, a metallic opaque strip of lens completely covering the top half of his face and sides, in order to avoid people seeing the multi-coloured orbs... theres another good reason for it completely covering his eyes lower down too. He was not someone who had any grasp of his apperance and really a lot of his body was so odd it would be tricky to co-ordinate any form of outfit to compliment his strange features.
History: Prof. Haun had spent nearly every day of his life in a lab, created in one by his sex-hating parents, raised in one thanks to their constant hours and has even died in it... twice, but those were just clones in a more unusual experiment. Taking on the idea that ingrediants are everywhere Prof Haun became a very twisted pharmicist, not in an evil way, just from the simple fact that he couldn't cure a common cold, but was able to put the spark back into any marriage with a pill that didn't have a V carved in it. Being in a niche' market Haun never made a huge amount of money... well at times he did but then there were also huge bills from repairs, janitor insurance claims and replacing all his melted equipment.
At the 3004 Scientific Nut-jobs convention Haun was finally going to be nominated for an award, his opponent was a far more straight-laced scientist, Fiona Elise. He was nominated for the creation of a pill that cured the hiccups... Fiona had been nominated in the same category for creating a portal to anothe world... there hadn't been many advancements that year, which is probably how Fiona even got onto the guest list.
When it came to demonstrations however Haun was to get on stage immediately after Fiona, as he walked past her his tail had swept right up her skirt. With a scream she shoved the unaware pervert into the portal, knocking aside a highly confused Haide Demon and in a flash, found himself stuck in a rather plain peticoat on a washing line in a tiny little fishing village at Scara Brae... he was a little, well flummoxed, but with his nanos able to replenish his potion and pill supplies the scientist simply moved into the world wondering if his business could be revived.
Skills:
Passive alterist- One of Hauns many creations was unusually mechanical, it was a single nanomachine that spawned into the trillions within a few hours, if he was of a humourous mood he'd think all his libido had been put into it considering the massive reproduction rate. They continually flow around him utterly invisible due to their scale but they do not float around doing nothing, when around other living organisms the nanos go to work, attaching and spreading through peoples bodies and do their level best to 'enhance' those people.
All changes are superficial and usually only result in giving a woman half an inch more up top, maybe heighten her cheek bones, while with a guy he appears more toned or has a little extra hair growth to have a pair of rugged side-burns. Its important to note however that these changes are formed solely by the nanomachines and they always remain in range of Haun, this means that when he leaves the immediate area, or the people do the nanomachines flee and die off, returning people to their original state and also most importantly means that no matter how toned they make some guy look, hes no stronger, but the increased busts and other such heightened physical characteristics still have feeling by the nanomachines simulating nerves through electrical impulses.
In a descriptive but equally informing reasoning, they basically make everyone look like they would after several pints.
On the flip-side, no technology of any advancement is perfectt and sometimes through some genetic analysation error, or just faulty memory, the Nanomachines can perform enhancements on the wrong gender. This has resulted in Hauns short history here with Gigantes' the Barbarian war-lord of Mulda Forest with a pair of D cups, while his favourite tavern wench found herself able to visit the mens room to empty her bladder, not to mention a rather full beard to make a dwarf jealous.
In playing terms, for the nanomachines to do things 'wrong' it requires permission from the player, while the subtle changes are nothing that make any real difference and if anything would just aid the lonely hearts genre of characters.
Short sighted- With all his long hours in the lab under low level lighting, an almost indecipherable hand-writing and also heavily small took their toll on Hauns eyes, the reason he has those glasses fully covere his eyes is the simple fact that without them, he can't see anything beyond a foot in front of him.
FREAK!- Willing test subjects were not always easy to come across and this has resulted in Haun being... well a huge mess genetics wise, his body is sometimes able to heal a cut within a few minutes, other times it'll take a full day, everything about his body is pretty much off-kilter and random. The most pronounced of these is the purple smoke coming from his tail-tip, this unusual bit of discoloured air has two different effects depending on original gender, for males it acts as a very mild tranq, just to the point of calming down or having the urge to just break a glass rather than someone head. With females it acts as a mild aphrodisiac, nothing more than giving them slightly pink-tinted lenses to see the world through and neither of these effects are particulary difficult to simply shrug and ignore.
In relative terms despite all this oddness hes weaker than most and nor as speedy from being a book-worm rather than jock, even his spurts of unusual strength just results on him getting an extra inch or two with a tiddly-wink flick.
Equipment:
Bag O Tricks- This is just a simple leather bag and inside are the following and very mundane items.
Mad Jacks McMadds Pen of Madness- In actuality its just a gag pen where you press the button and shock your fingers, fun at parties.
X-ray specs- Still have the price tag of €9.95, one day Haun had dipped them into something and discovered they actually do work now, sadly they miss out that fun level of skin and instead go straight for the bone... useage of more than five minutes gives one right bastard of a headache.
One ball of scrunched up tin-foil- It had somehow found its way into his pocket one day, likely from an old lunch but now among people without the technology to make it was good for impressing those around him, a bit of fishing line makes sure it never leaves his bag for too long.
Donagans Double Headed Doubloon- Self explanatory, a coin with two heads, always helpful when unable to pay up and willing to place a wager... though he learned long ago people like to pick heads and so invested in...
Twirthingtons Triple-Tailed Token- Bit of false advertisement, it only had two tails but he was sure some advertising exex got sacked rightly for that screw up.
Potions- Being an alterist Haun of course has potions and such that give longer lasting effects on his subjects than the nanomachines, they only last for an hour or so but provide somewhat more drastic effects... quite helpful for sparking up a dull marriage or changing an opponent in a way that prevents them purusing him. Currently he only has a few sorts on hand since they take time to brew inside his coat... its also important to note, due to Hauns screwed up biology he cannot gain the effects of any of these potions.
Muscle Enhancer- This potion causes a general half inch growth in all muscle tissue outwards and brings a persons full body strength up to 1.5 its original, unlike his other potions however this has a very flawed duration and only goes for ten minutes of rest and three posts of combat.
Lanky Liquer- One for the shorties of althanas, it brings on a brief growth spurt that gives the person an extra foot in height, however it dosen't give a boost to general body mass and so results in a much thinner, frailer being. Works wonders on dwarfs but very badly on elves to put it simply.
Sensitive concoction- This originally was used for bedroom purposes in Hauns fledgling business, however after a week in althanas the prof. modified it for a new use, perhaps his only true combat item outside of the muscle enhancer. When ingested and has to be done so orally, the subjects nerves become five times as sensitive, this would make the opponent much more aware but it also meant any pain placed upon them was felt far more... it also allowed people to fully appreciates Haun main snack of the Triple-fried Egg and Chutney sarnie. It only lasts for five minutes sadly before the chemicals are broken down and cannot be applied twice on a person in the same day.
Pills- These have more trivial effects really than the previous ones, more to hybridise regular folks with the features of animals. Basically breaking down into several features, those of Tails, Paws, Faces and Misc. due to his labelling troubles they result in a random animals feature being put onto the subject and lasts for two hours.
Misc- This category contains unique features of animals, currently he has pills for...
Bull horns
Cows udder (can affect males too)
Aardvarks tongue (still fits inside the mouth just gets a lot more flexible)
Kangaroo Pouch
Not really needed to be said but Haun has been chased from many towns and officially banned from several brothels.
