History

#4ARMS was created and raised for one purpose only. He was a piece of the Advanced Recon and Military Specialist (ARMS) branch of AIM. The program was started during the Cold War in order to harness mutant powers for weapons of their own. Life was created, but the life was just life with no heart, no soul, no mind. Fortunately, telepaths could create the memories and instill emotional traits into the bodies. This was what #4 lived through, but it's not what he knows.

This is what he remembers:

#4 was part of a different camp than the others. While they were warriors born and bred, #4 was educated. Yes, he recieved training similar to the others, but he was also taught to think and to learn. The scientists he was kept with called him Shiro, though the overhead always called him Number Four.

He learned languages and speech patterns, doing his best to find out information about anything he could. His entire existence was based around informational gathering and assassination. It worked, too. He adored learning. He adored reading. Especially books about perfection. The book that they'd let him read when he did exceptionally well was 'Utopia'. What they never told him, though, was that there was more than one copy of most books. Very few things are singular. If they wanted him to do something, all they had to do was hold up the book.

He was trained on how to use a lot of weapons, primarily small, effective ones that were meant just for close range, or for throwing short-range. Tools great for sneaking, climbing, and hiding. Things to compliment his natural mutant abilities. Things to be used for getting in and out. Getting what they'd want. Or… stopping who they want.

Eventually, they placed him with the other ARMS to work together. When it began, Shiro was shocked at how well they synergized with each other, as if they were meant to be together. His powers were different from the others, but it did not make him any less useful to the group. His body alterations were on par with his sister's, but not with the other brothers. He was faster, but not as strong.

Eventually, AIM started hiring them out to do various jobs that they wanted done. Either for them, or for others.

Then, things fell apart. An alarm sounded in the Siberian basethey were in. Shiro heard the alarms and fell into step alongside the others, moving silently and swiftly to try to get away. They made it to the escape deck, where a soldier was going to teleport them to safety, but the teleportation was glitched. Thus, they did not all end up together. 2, 4, and 5 all ended up in New York with no memory of their history or much more thann who they are and what their abilities are. All Shiro knows is he's looking for others like himself. Shiro's memories are much more solid than Tes's, but even he… is unsure.

Powers

Camouflage

Shiro's primary gift is the ability to blend in with his surroundings. While he cannot change the shape of his body, he can change it's texture and color to make it match what he's touching with any part of his body. For example, in a field of grass, if he bent over, hunched himself, and touched a rock, he could make his body FEEL like a rock, and look like a rock, but he would not be as hard as a rock. He would be firm, yes, but no firmer than tough natural skin. His body would gain crags and divots if it were a conglomerate stone, and match it. If he were to lean against a metal wall, he and his clothing would turn the color of the metal, and gain it's texture… smooth, cold… but he would not gain it's durability. The only true difference to his power is when he's in shadow. When in shadows, he can blend in with the darkness, making himself virtually invisible to all but powerful heightened senses like Wolverine's.

Sound Dampening Field

Shiro also has a very short sound-dampening field around his body. This field only extends for three feet in any/all directions. Enough to have one person on each side of him and move very slowly if needed. Within this field, all sound is reduced by 90 decibels if he's forcing it. Even when he's not actively controlling it, things are reduced by 45 decibels, meaning even his natural speech at a normal volume sounds only like a whisper.

Dark/Light Vision

Shiro has the ability to see in total darkness. However, in darkness, he can only see in black and white, no color whatsoever. The less dark it is, the more color he can see. Under starlight, he can make things out clearly, but less light makes things harder to clarify color-wise. In bright lights, it works oppositely, bleaching out colors as it gets too bright, just leaving shades of white and less white, but he can still see without pain.

Heightened Senses

The genetic improvements on Shiro gave him enhanced senses, doubling his vision to twice that of normal human. His smell is much better, able to track by scent over short distances, but nowhere near that of many animals. His sense of taste is magnified by a lot, giving him the ability to taste what makes something up, even if blended, if he knows the base tastes. He can also hear about twice as far away as a normal human. Unlike the others, his vision powers prevent him from being blinded without a physical cover over his eyes. His other senses acuteness can lead to problems, though. Putrid smells will block any other smells, for example.

Physical boosts

More genetic enhancements were done to Shiro's body as well. He is faster than the standard person, able to normally sprint at about 25 mph, and at his top speed push it to 30 for a few minutes. His enhanced strength enables him to lift his own body weight and up to 300 pounds maximum for short distances. He's physically weaker than most of the GEMs, but he's faster.
