Title ;; Black Death. Piper always seems to shift and transform with a strange sense of grace, earning him the title "The Lithe." Because of his grace, it would seem that he takes great care and puts a lot of thought into his transformations.
Alias ;; Pip, Little Pip. He has only been called Little Pip by his siblings and father. He earned this nickname because he was the shortest and skinniest of almost all his siblings.
Full Name ;; Piper Ale Whitte
Pronunciation ;; ---
Meaning ;; ---
Gender ;; Pip doesn't necessarily have a gender. Pip is - for lack of better term - an it. However, he prefers to be called a male. In an ironic twist, he does have the tendency to take on a female form.
Age ;; Unknown, likely in his twenties.
Nationality ;; American.
Species ;; He isn't necessarily a species but more of an individual.
Body Modifications ;; ---
Mutations/Abnormalities ;; His body can morph and create varying alterations. It even take on seemingly impossible forms.
Overall Appearance ;; Pip is made entirely out of a black, gooey substance that can transform itself into whatever it desires. Therefore, it would seem that he doesn't have one single true appearance. In truth, he does have a true form, which is simply a three by three foot long mass of black goop. Whatever form he takes on will be pitch black in color. Just like the color of his forms, his eyes never change. They constantly remain white and are often described as little glowing moons. Any hair, fur or feathers seen in any of his forms is actually made of thin strands of goop, and feels as if it were always wet or damp.
His human male form is short in stature, probably standing just a few inches shorter than the average man. He has broad shoulders and - what would appear to be - some visible muscle. He obtains a round shaped face with a crooked nose. His "hair" in this form is straight and manages to cover his forehead and the tops of his ears. His human female form has very little curve and looks rather thin. This form would appear to stand at the right height for a female. In this form, his "hair" reaches past his shoulders and is very wavy.
Weapons ;; ---
Abilities ;; Piper's body is made of black goop that can morph itself, developing multiple mutations and aberrations of his desire. It can also force itself to grow in size. When he grows in size, his body will mass produce toxic chemicals. When these chemicals come in contact with the air he "breathes" it generates a reaction. This reaction causes the chemicals to change into the very goop he is made of and expand to a certain degree. His body will generate quite a bit of energy when doing so, energy that is caused by the chemicals reacting to oxygen. This energy, instead of wiping him out, causes him to gain more energy to burn. The more he grows in size, the more chemicals produced, the more reaction and, thus, more energy. However, when the goop is no longer producing the energy, it will obviously begin to use it up. If his body uses up all the energy he will grow weak and rapidly shrink back into his true form. Piper will then have to rest before attempting to grow in size once more. It is said that if he pushes himself too far his body will shrink down further and further past his natural size until he completely disappears.
If he simply grows to the size of a human, his body will use a very low amount of energy at a slow rate. However, if he grows to the size of, let's say, a buffalo, then his body will use more energy at a more rapid rate. This is why, in larger forms, his body will develop transparent sacks inside of itself as stores for more energy. The bigger the form, the larger the sacks. If he grows to the size of a trailer, then the sacks will get so large they will begin to break through his "skin." The energy within these sacks are bright green in color and pulsate with tremendous energy.
If too much energy is produced Piper can become extremely dangerous. The sacks can grow to such an astounding size that they will begin to cover his whole body. He can become a walking time bomb for multiple reasons. One is the fact that, if one were to pop from the pressure, deadly chemicals could flood the surrounding landscape. However, one wouldn't have to worry too much about the sacks being popped, for it is an enormous pain to do so. The sacks, despite appearance, can take all sorts of bullets, knives and swords without so much as a scratch. Another thing to worry about is the fact that these chemicals pulsate with negative energy which produces emotions like rage, anger and bloodlust. Therefore, if he grows too large, then he will attack anything that moves. When he is angered and/or aggravated, it would be unwise to touch him. The goop can become hot and sticky when he becomes one or both of such states.
Shrinking is a careful and slow process for Pip, much unlike growing. In order to shrink, the goop must use the reverse process of growth. Once the goop is back in chemical form, a portion of it is selected for the size of the form he will become, including some extra as storage for later. As for the rest, there's no where for it to go but out. Therefore, Piper will have to throw up whatever chemicals need be. But something else must be done before that. As we all know, these chemicals will turn into goop upon contact with air. The chemicals must be deluded by another chemical produced within him. This chemical is by no means toxic. One can actually touch it and be okay, it can even be eaten. However, that doesn't mean it will taste good. Once deluded, they will be thrown up and left behind for the Earth to break down or an animal to eat.
Piper's body has no bones, skin, tissue, organs or anything a normal being would have. Naturally, this goop can harden, soften and change it's texture. This way, when changing into a certain form, it can instinctively develop the necessary bone structure in order to stand and pull it's weight around. If sharp objects, bullets and other weapons penetrate the ooze, it will often be sucked into it if it is not already being pulled out. Once sucked in, chemicals will attack it. After the weapon has been damaged it will be spat back out. Similar things can happen to other forms of weapons, especially if the ooze has become hot. Because he obtains not a trace of what creatures here on Earth have, he cannot be poisoned. When poison enters his body, the goop will identify it as a foreign contaminant and push it back out of his body. However, certain poisons will be absorbed and turned into energy. There are quite a bit of other things his body will absorb; such as any editable substance, including other chemicals.
In result of the fact that he has no organs, he also has no vocal cords.However, there is a small amount of a special kind of ooze that is produced within him. It is generated in small pockets in four areas of his "body." They are produced in the neck and head areas of the forms he takes on. It is unknown where they are originally placed in his true form. This kind of ooze is significantly different then the rest of what makes him up. It is actually white in coloration which can suggest one of its purposes - sight. This ooze generates electric pulses and is created partially from the energy he can create, his own ooze and a tiny gathering of cells that was taken from his host. The white ooze in his head is used for thought processing and telepathy. He is unable to control what his voice sounds like when using telepathy. People who "hear" it can perceive it however they like. In other words, they basically hear what they want to hear. The white ooze found in his neck is used for a rather odd form of communication only understood by himself and possible future generations. This language has both a written and spoken form. In writing it appears as a square shaped gathering of complex lines - almost like Japanese, though some might say it looks more majestic. In spoken form it consists of a series of, what is referred to as, chirps. However, they aren't like bird chirps. As a matter of fact, it sounds like a flute being played in most cases. Because of the way it sounds, there is no way to determine if it is feminine or masculine.
Disorders ;; OCD.
Mental Illnesses ;; ---
Personality ;; Piper can be seen as a generally pessimistic person. However, he denies is pessimistic nature and goes on to believe he is rather optimistic. What one can find to be ironic about this is the fact he looks down upon those who are optimistic in certain situations. Piper sees himself as the intelligent sort, and he actually is quite wise and a bit witty. He can often come up with the best of comebacks in verbal conflict which was apparent during a fight someone was having with a few others. What was also revealed about him in such a situation is the fact he likes to point out others flaws, whether it be about themselves or the ideas they come up with. Another thing to note about him is how unnaturally calm he is around violence. He is also able to remain calm under pressure and in moments of desperation and darkness, which could mean that he is somewhat optimistic. Piper can also be described as sadistic. He even frowns upon those who reflect their pain in body language and expressions. He feels that by doing so they are revealing the fact that they are weak.
When it comes to encountering enemies, he responds in the same calm and collective manner as he does in other conflicts. However, when it comes to inflicting pain on his foes, his dark side is shown to a surprising extent. He often mocks and laughs at them, he even goes as far as to verbally put them down. As he does damage to his enemies he will often experience uncontrollable bursts of laughter along with wild looks in his eyes. It seems all too clear that his moments of highest joy come when laying his foes to rest.
History ;; Pip was born inside a cottage far back from the modern age. He lived a normal life, working on a farm with his family. He lived with his dad, cousins, uncles, aunts, and siblings - his mother passed soon after birthing him. When he turned eight his members of his family began to disappear into the woods. His dad soon forced what was left of the family to stay close to the cottage and get inside before sundown. One morning, Pip saw his youngest sister walk into the forest. He he ran after her, shouting her name and begging her to return. He stayed in the forest until nightfall, looking for his sister. By morning he was exhausted for he had been searching all night, his sister had yet to turn up. Even if he had attempted sleep he wouldn't have been able to. Pip believed he had heard strange sounds in the woods, and even an occasional scream. He stumbled upon an abandoned building which held a hidden entrance into a wine cellar. However, that hidden entrance was open. Pip gazed down the staircase which became darker further and further down. He picked a match out of his pocket and grabbed a nearby stick. After he lit it, he entered the narrow passage. He swore he heard his sisters voice several times, which grew louder when he came upon a dark hallway. Pip stumbled through the darkness, calling for his sister. Suddenly, his sisters voice faltered and fell silent. He panicked, screaming her name until his throat became sore and his voice raspy. He collasped in the darkness, sobbing uncontrollably. It was then that there was a sudden chill and the air around him felt odd, like something was wrong. A voice ringed out, "You shouldn't have come..." Without warning, the fire on the stick flickered and died out. The situation seemed all too cliché. Pip screamed when he felt something grab him and begin to wrap around him. He desperately tried to escape, lashing out at whatever it was in vain. The creature seemed to consume him as his final bloodcurdling scream echoed up from the cellar.[/fancypost]
