versidian

1. Name

Versidian Black

2. Age

37 Operating Years

3. Serial Number

Owing to his cybernetic nature, Black does not have a strict serial number. However his implants all share the same serial number; #3470-95.

4. Background

Where Versidian was born no one can truly say. What is known of his past is that he was first sighted as an adolescent on Sarazon 8, which he claims is his home.

By the time he was about twenty years of age , he had accrued numerous favors from the Sarazon government via multiple highly questionable political operations he spearheaded with a group of radicals known as *The Yd Hintr*.

After a rogue Quaza meteor (blown mysteriously off of Quatros' surface) made impact with the Sarazon capital, Versidian was struck with several shards that embedded themselves in his body and temporarily gave him quaza powers. With these powers he entranced the population and warded off another meteor, helping found a new religious group, The Radiant Church, from his old group the Hintr.

He might have been content to stay on Sarazon forever, with his godly status and authority.

But one day, a visitor from the Hero Factory visited Versidian Black.

The next day Black disappeared from Sarazon, willing control of "his" church to four other deacons on the planet.

With him he took a ship, and several million in credits.

5. Appearance

Versidian is an averagely-heighted figure, clad in a black cassock-like garment. His body is other mostly covered in black armor plating, linked to his various implants.

His head is covered in an ebony helm, a religious icon of a Radiant Deacon. It's unclear where he got it.

6. Weapons and Abilities, Tools

Versidian carries an extending shotgun-like meteor blaster with him. It normally can be folded into itself (the handle that is) to mimic a cane-like device.

When active/in gun form, it is capable of extending or shrinking the barrels to attain a double-barrel or sawed off type weapon.

The gun itself is fairly standard, and both barrels are in fact modified meteor blasters. It's most unique feature is its ability to convert matter fed to it into a burning flechettes which it can fire at others.

Versidian, while empowered by a Hero Charging Chamber (something he has not yet been able to do) manifests a core power of telekinesis, allowing him to lift and manipulate massive or minute objects.

To compensate for this, one of his implants (near to his "heart") is able to absorb energy from nearby sources and briefly charge some of the shards embedded in his body. This basically lets him use this power in small bursts.

In addition, Versidian's Implant Array allow him to;

- have extremely durable bone/internal structures
- regenerate from wounds/injuries, providing he ingests biological or ingestible matter the implants can break down and use for repairs
- generate small kinetic pulses, to enhance his strikes or "super jump" over distances
- emit a smoky, ink-like gas that scrambles foreign technology and otherwise stuns robots. He likes using this to disappear in a cloud of smoke.
