Quotes

• "I've taken nothing and damaged nothing. If you would prefer to stop me rather than help the injured young man inside that building, then that is at the expense of your own morality. I'm -not- stopping."
• I've spent 21 years of my life too weak to do -anything- that resembled a normal life. And now I've got one…if that means suckin' lard through a straw three times a day and shovin' a little girl down some stairs just for ritual, I'd do it…but I got it easy. I take supliments, a drink milk and I eat protein….done." He pauses and looks down and then back up at you. "Cream or sugar?"

Powers

Consistent Hemogenesis

Tanner's body now produces blood at an amazing rate. He is unable to die of blood loss without the complete loss of at least two appendages. His stamina will increase to that of a normal humans, rather than his previously low stamina, and he'll have a very high resistance to disease (but NOT to disorders or toxins). His blood cells of all types (Red, White, and even platelets) are reproduced at extreme levels. Even if a major artery is cut, it will still have enough to flow through him, despite the spurt, because blood travels through his body even without the vessels there.

Personal Hemokinesis

Along with that, Tanner will be able to control his blood in a few ways. Without an incision, blood can flow along the underside of his skin and harden. The hardened blood beneath his skin will give him a rather decent body armor, on par with a two inch thick kevlar body armor. This provides protection against basic bullets, which cannot penetrate though high powered bullets still can, and some mild temperatures (-100 to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.) However, if there is an incision in his skin, like from cutting a wrist or somewhere, he can actually control and shape the blood that comes out of his body. At start of play, he can make basic shapes, ranging from bats to claws, to other such creations, but nothing more than 6 cubic feet in size. The items are the same tensile strength as kevlar (about five times the strength of an equivalent weight of steel), but will always be the bright red of oxygenated blood. Anticoagulants and biomanipulaters will be able to destroy the creations by thinning them down, as can Tanner himself. Of course, anytime he uses his abilities in a public way, it'll end up looking like a bloodbath and calling in a biohazard team.

Physical Adaptations

Tanner's heart muscles were strengthened in order to support the new type of blood flowing through his veins. His body will now be able to be identified by doctors as something more than human, due to the triple-helix DNA running through his body. His marrow was also enhanced, as was his digestive system and teeth, in order to help him gain what he needs. His marrow produces blood at an extremely enhanced rate, making it difficult for him to bleed to death without loss of two limbs. His Digestive system is now extremely efficient, producing VERY little waste product, and giving him a need for high levels of certain things. (See Requirements). Along with that, his teeth were strengthened to the point that they can chew through some basic metals (Iron.) in small amounts. He could not chew through iron bars, but iron nails? Yes. While he can't digest everything, what he can is taken in for use in his blood. Other things go through as normal (or whatever) waste product.

Requirements

Due to the nature of his blood, Tanner has an excessively high need for Iron and Calcium. He must drink, on average, about two gallons of milk a day (or take its equivalent in other manners), and eat about a pound and a half of iron a day. This can come from very high quantities of food, or from eating actual iron, as his body is adapted to do so.
