History

James is the adopted son of Indiana farmers. Getting him to talk about his pre-school days is difficult, but what he has mentioned isn’t unpleasant and he has no ill words about his parents. In 2010, James failed to return from a pocket dimension created by a demon who had kidnapped several students and teachers. No trace was ever found until he suddenly reappeared almost 2 years later somewhat changed in both appearance and powers.

Personality

James, now known as Tooth, is a lot more quiet and standoffish than before he went missing. But, that could be because he's readjusting to the school. Time will tell!

Powers & More

Overview

Most of James’ powers are linked to his beast side, giving him rather predictable mutant abilities with the added ability to teleport.

Appearance

James’s mutation has given him the form of a rather large, upright, hyena. Specifically, James is more of a throwback to the Crocuta Crocuta Spelaea or “Cave Hyena;” a distant relative of the modern Spotted Hyena from the Pleistocene era. While they’re no noticeable cues that would place him in one class over the other, the length of fore and hind legs will be a visual conformation to the paleontological-inclined. In short, James is a BFG: Big, Frekin’ Gnoll.

An apex-predator of the time, cave hyenas are known to have preyed upon cave bears, the much-smaller Neanderthal, and (much like Tooth) anything they could fit in their pie holes. Paleontologists now believe that competition and predation by cave hyenas in Siberia was a significant factor in delaying human colonization of Alaska. The oldest Alaskan human remains coincide with roughly the same time cave hyenas became extinct, supporting the theory that hyena predation was what prevented humans from crossing the Bering Strait earlier.

Teleport

James has the ability to line-of-sight teleport up to his max vision range—currently 1 mile in an open, unobscured space. His ‘bamf’ is rather bright, blue, and smells of ozone. Between the light, and the rather distinct sound, James doesn’t have much of a chance of being stealthy outside a thunderstorm.

Enhancements

Healing
James can recover from most non-life threatening wounds
in minutes, severe trauma in hours or days, and grievous, incapacitating bodily damage in days, weeks, or months.
Senses
Hearing: In a house, his sense of smell and hearing extend 6 room horizontally in any direction, and 2 room vertically.
Smell: His outside range is approx. 1 mile.
Sight: Hyenas have incredible night vision. James' outside range is over a 1 mile in near total darkness.
Strength
Currently James can manage to 1400lbs with out much effort.

Teeth, Claws, and More

Teeth and Jaw: James can currently exert up to 2000 lbs of crushing, cutting pressure. For a comparison, the human max is under 170 lbs.
Digestion: As a hyena-themed character, James can digest bone, nails, hair… Not good for much unless he finds he needs to hide a body.
Claws: They’re not designed to be sharp, but with his full strength behind them, a hit can result in a aggravated, ragged wound to bare flesh. James has been seen being able to do through some types of
body armor when striking.

Flaws

James’ mutant power is not ‘shifter’ based. As such he always has the appearance of a 7’ tall, walking, talking beasty.

Misc

Human Played By: He’s not human.
