Titles ;; He earned the title of 'Black Death' the day he killed several scientists who were attempting to experiment on him. He had to be locked up until he stabilized. 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.
Full Name ;; Piper Ale Whitte
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. It might be noteworthy that he still questions what gender he is.
Age ;; Seventeen.
Nationality ;; American.
Species ;; Enourmal.
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 are 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. His usual attire consists of plain and simple clothing - often loose shirts and jeans. He never wears hats, ties or anything formal. He even expresses a dislike for such things.
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 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.
Orientation ;; Bisexual.
Personality ;; Piper can be seen as a generally pessimistic person. However, he denies his 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. Some of his most prominent traits are slyness, intelligence, and wittiness. As one could probably tell, he loves flaunting his intelligence - the moment there is a window of opportunity he delves in. He can often come up with the best of comebacks, which can become quite apparent during conflict. Pip 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 despair, 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.
On the soft side, he looks at the world through a child's eyes. Which is quite surprising. He is easily fascinated by beauty[mostly in nature], airborne creatures, snow, skeletons, water, and many other things - especially oddities in nature. One of his favorite hobbies is collecting, his favorite item to hoard is feathers. He obtains an odd obsession for the skin and hair of humans, and his favorite things to study are eyes, stars and constellations. Pip is captivated by the eyes of any living creature, claiming that they are 'windows to the soul.' He also obtains a love for books and can become exceptionally overjoyed within libraries. He will repeatedly notify others surrounding him of his love for the smell of old books. He will also state that 'they provide him with images of worlds he will never come to meet.' He is also rather obsessed with order, even with the finest of details. If he stumbles upon a messy room, or one not arranged to his liking, he will clean and organize it immediately. Even if the room is occupied by someone else - or simply is within a house that is not his - he will still 'assign their belongings to their proper place,' often without permission to do so.
Piper has no boundaries when it comes to personal space. Some could find themselves with their nose inches from his as he studied them. He would often approach others and run his hand through their hair and randomly state what their hair felt like to him before walking off. Should one try to touch him, he will react offensively. He hates being touched, which is quite ironic considering his way of 'no boundaries' towards others. At times Piper can be aloof and oblivious to other people, especially when it comes to emotions. One could be in tears next to him and he would pay no mind. One could be showing clear signs they are upset with him and he would just ignore them all the while. As a matter of fact; the more someone shows negative feelings towards him, the more he avoids them. He believes these actions to be only fair in result of theirs. It might be worth noting that he can be a bit on the rough side. The reason for this is simple, he has a lack a nerves. He can feel, but slight or soft touching or rubbing of any sort cannot be felt on his part. So one could imagine what it would be like for him to randomly approach them and rub their head. In other matters, Piper is unable to relate to the feeling of hunger and sleep. He thrives on the energy he produces and given the fact that it is [indeed] energy, he doesn't need sleep. However, in his attempts to sleep he claims that it is a most unpleasant feeling. Despite the previous fact, he obtains an obsession for certain sweet foods.[/fancypost]

Titles ;; The Corpse Flower, she earned this title from the general irony of her existence. She was created to bring life to the ill, instead she brings nothing but death. Occasionally, scientists - as well as herself - will humorously refer to her as 'Miss Sunshine.'
Alias ;; When people ask her for her name they must be prepared for a nickname, or even a list of them, instead. She claims that the reason she gives others her alias is because they don't precisely ask for her true name, even though it's quite obvious what people are requesting in the first place. The following is the list of nicknames she has gathered: Nyx, Carina, September, Verena, West, Koko, Evelyn, Albany, and Khadijah (Khadi).
Full Name ;; Her true name is Di Whitpine. Along with her lack of a middle name, there seems to not be a person in the world who has any idea what her last is - not even the scientists. It can be considered wishful thinking that she - of course - would have knowledge of it. However, it would seem that she has not a clue, perhaps her memory of it is buried elsewhere... along with many of her other memories.
Gender ;; She is classified as female, however she will call herself a male on occasion - yet, she isn't transgender.
Age ;; After her creation, the scientists didn't take long to realize that they had accidentally made her immortal. Given the fact that her cells are always rapidly mutating, they are also repairing themselves - preventing the process of aging. She is precisely one hundred years old and stands with the title of the lab's first breakthrough, but not one of their first mistakes.
Nationality ;; Scottish.
Species ;; Experiment.
Mutations/Abnormalities ;; Overly large irises, abnormally colored hair, cracks in her skin, and a few other mutations that come and go.
Overall Appearance ;; Not too many scientists can recall her original appearance without searching through the files for an old picture of her. Originally, she had dark brown hair and eyes, was a bit heavyweight and had some acne. Now, she is just under a healthy weight for someone her size - eighty-five pounds instead of ninety something. She poses no signs that she ever began puberty for which she simply didn't and likely never will due to her immortality. Her hair is considerably shorter than it once was and is spiked vertically, facing backward slightly. It also holds no sign it was ever brown as it is now a mixture of light green and blue hues. Her eyes portray no liveliness, much less any sanity. All that fills her pale gray, somewhat stormy eyes is utter madness. There are no whites to be found in her eyes, her irises extend to the very edges of her eyelids. Every now and then, her irises will become an emerald green with slits and flecks of gold. Her complexion is deathly pale with no blemishes to be found, with the exception of the cracks in her skin which can be found covering the entirety of her body. Lastly, her nails are always filed to a sharp point.
Abilities ;; Apparently, Di was an attempt at both recreating Piper and making a creature that can produce chemicals that heal incurable diseases. Scientists wanted mutating cells as that could aid in injections to help humans rapidly heal and/or help their white blood cells fight off certain diseases. Scientists also wanted to alter the chemicals found in Piper as they could be transformed into something useful. Both parts of the experiment were considered mostly successful. However, the mutating cells gave her a few abilities: rapid healing, immortality, limited mutation, disease healing, venom, and 'smoke' or 'mist' that can induce hallucinations. Her first ability only earns its name when it comes to cuts and bruises. In terms of gashes, slashes and other large wounds; they can take anywhere from a few hours to three days, depending on their size. Fractures can heal in a matter of two weeks or less. Broken bones usually take, depending on the type and seriousness of the break, anywhere from two to three weeks. Di obtains mutating abilities like Piper, but it can be considered more or less complex - depending on how you look at it. Piper doesn't have to worry about 'the laws of physics' as he is not limited to how he can mutate. Di, on the other hand, has her own existing bones, organs and other parts to think about as she mutates. One wrong move and she could impale one of her vital organs with her own bones or worse. Her skin can also only be stretched so far before it rips and begins to seemingly dissolve into her flesh if she continues. However, if she returns to normal the skin reappears. In result of her years spent mutating, her skin has developed permanent cracks upon it. Because of the problem she has with her skin's inability to shift and change with her, the flesh just beneath it has "adapted" to withstand germs and other contaminants. This 'surface flesh' - as referred to by the scientists - even toughens when exposed to air. It appears to act as a extra layer of skin. Her degree of mutating is definitely more limited. She can't take on smaller forms than herself and change color[much like Pip]; grow fur, feathers or extra hair; and fully take on most animal forms. If she attempts to take on an animalistic form, they usually look very humanoid and highly disturbing.
Within her mouth are four extra canines in addition to her first which are all a few centimeters longer than the average human. All the extra canines accompany the former, the bottom ones sitting directly beside the original. On the top, however, there is a small gap between the first and the second. The first pair of her upper canines are a bit longer [just enough to notice] than the rest and are slightly curved back, these are responsible for the injection of deadly venom. This venom comes from two of four sacks that sit below the nasal cavities in her cheekbones. It is purple in coloration and is so strong it can melt metal upon contact. Di only uses this venom in life or death situations, or to slaughter innocent animals. She only obtains a limited supply of this, once dried up she will have to wait until the next day to use it again. Scientists often purposely drain her of her venom so that she doesn't pose as much of a threat to the rest of staff. There is a another pair of fangs hidden beyond the gaps between her upper canines which connect to the two other sacks. These fangs are much like a snakes and considerably longer - long enough to reach halfway to the tips of her lower canines. These are responsible for the injection of a chemical that can heal horrible diseases [i.e. cancer, hiv/aids, and alzheimers] as well as fractured and broken bones. There are forms of 'air sacks' that are located halfway down her neck which are not visible beneath surface of her skin unless they swell. The chemicals found within them line the sack's inner surface as a clear, milky lining that generates a reaction when it comes in contact with air. The channels to these sacks remain closed unless Di plans to release a noxious gas from her mouth. The air that is released from them comes out as a mist similar in color to that of fog or the air that escapes a humidifier. This mist is responsible for mass, horrific hallucinations when breathed in. They are often gory and mentally scarring, but only last about twenty minutes. However, if one is constantly breathing it in then the hallucinations will last much longer.
Disorders ;; Mental Instability, otherwise known as insanity.
Orientation ;; Demi-heterosexual, appears mostly asexual.
Personality ;; Di is easily described as erratic and childish upon first impression. After experimenting had been completed, she was definitely a changed girl. Experimenting began when she was ten and finished when she was fifteen, before she had the opportunity to hit puberty. This leaves her as a sterile subject who will never become mentally mature. Experimenting and lack of socialization has caused her sanity to rapidly deteriorate. Her only contact with humans has been for study; thus, she often responds aggressively and defensively when humans attempt to make contact with her. Due to her lack of communication with others, she is unable to properly socialize. Conversations with her are often one-sided, one can barely squeeze in a single word. The only time she might give others a chance to speak is when she asks them questions. Most of the time, by questions when mean a single one revolving around her asking for anothers name. Given the fact she likes to do most of the talking, it can be concluded that she will often only discuss things she would like to talk about. Di enjoys the act of poking her nose in other people's business, bringing up sensitive subjects and becoming the cause of awkward moments. Lastly, she will harm - or attempt to harm - others for no other reason besides to do harm, she is also prone to fits of rage. When she is having one of her fits it is best to stay as far away from her as you could possibly be.
Underneath her mask of madness some of her former self lingers on. It is shadowed by her insanity and rarely surfaces. There is no specific reason or cause to why or when it comes to reveal itself, it's just on random occasion. When it does surface, her irises turn and emerald green and become rather cat-like. Her pupil will turn into a slit and flecks of golden coloration can be found in her irises, closest to her pupil. Di also seems to jump out of character and want others to refer to her as Albany more often. Her shadowed personality is generally shy and tends to draw herself away from people, becoming a wallflower whilst in this state. However, she likes to wonder close to people and will often choose a person to stand by until her other self resurfaces. She will become very clingy, sticking by the person she has chosen and never speaking unless spoken to. This side of her is described as a robot without full understanding of emotion. All things considered, it is believed that this side of her personality is always there. It is just not in control. Her madness is believed to constantly by snuffing out her true self, but it continues to linger - often showing its face in the faintest of actions and gestures.
This young lady can sometimes be found carrying on conversations with herself, claiming she is speaking to someone directly in front of her. The person she claims to see she describes as having a relatively human body with cloven hooves for feet, no face accompanied by an enormous gaping hole that looks like a black abyss, and three fingers on each hand with talons for nails. She also says that he's always in his 'striped pajamas' with a large, dark brown overcoat and black fedora that has a skeletal index finger sticking out. Di calls him by many names, including the following: It, Claim, Blanco['because he is the man with one expression'], Obyss, and - most popularly - Jaffee['because he deserves a proper name']. According to Di, he is her closest enemy that keeps all her secrets and that he is a form of demonic, paranormal presence or evil spirit.[/fancypost]
