Description
--BASICS--
Name: James Joyner

Super alias: Titan

Age: 17

Sex: Male

--APPEARANCE--
Height: 5 feet, 8 inches

Weight: Unmeasurable

Build: Absolutely unimpressive. Skinny and weak looking, he is not built like someone nicknamed "Titan" should be.

Skin: Caucasian and pale

Hair: Black and long

Eyes: Blue and sad

Other defining features: He looks absolutely non threatening. He slouches as he walks and looks around a lot.

Clothing: Jeans and a white T-Shirt. First thing he found in the drawer.

--PERSONALITY--
Overview: James complains. A lot. He isn't happy with his life, with his prognosis of a future and especially with his powers. Oh, and he is a teenager, that doesn't help in the complaining area.

His mother has pressed him since he was little to become a hero like she was, but he hasn't ever liked the idea, not liking his powers in the first place.

Loves: Hard surfaces, talking, his mother

Hates: ...Quite a list could be made here, but at the end of the day, everything would be a derivative of "his powers".

Fears: Sinking. He fears this so much.

Strengths: A really strong motivation. The best teammate ever.

Weaknesses: Soft surfaces. Second floors. Water. Sonic attacks. Being untrained. Being generally a wimp. He is also very slow most of the time, not because of a physical limitation but because he fears that if he runs he might do a bad distribution of weight and break the floor below him, sinking.

Most of anything, though, he is not a fighter. He may have lots of raw power but he doesn't know how to use it well.

Also, he is desperate. He would do anything to feel like he is becoming more normal, even if just a little. Give him a little hope and you'll have him begging in no time. He is not hard to manipulate, to boot.

Quirks: -He performs very mundane tasks like eating and walking very slowly at times.
-He thinks a lot.
-He doesn't have a lot of friends, but he enjoys human interaction.
-He is a heavy reader. His room looks more like a bookstore than a place for sleeping.

--COMBAT--
Fighting Style: "I'll manage." He is not a fighter, but he believes his powers are strong enough to get him through any fight he might have.

Weapons/Gear: Nothing really. You may have notice by the "Fighting Style" section that he is not a forward thinker.

Powers: Super density[5]: His molecules are naturally far heavier than any known element in the World. Perhaps the Universe, even, with the different gravities already in consideration. This can be either a gift or a curse. Here are the detailed sub-powers that come from it.

Strenght: Even without working out, James is strong. Really crazy strong. It is impossible to describe how strong James is without going into some kind of crazy hyperbole. The Eiffel Tower weighs around 7,300 tons. Lifting it would be a tad hard for James, but he could do it if he tried hard enough. Of course, the building would succumb over him were he to try this unless it was compressed into a relatively tiny ball. He could make that tiny ball happen with his bare hands, though, so not a problem.

His strenght is not speed based at all, though, so he can't do the throwing objects really far away thing. He just throws an iron grid with the same effort as he throws a baseball.

Invulnerability: Not completely, mind you, but he has yet to find something other than himself that is able to hurt him. Physical hits just hurt the attacker, using weaponry is a waste of bullets. Explosives only have a good shot at blinding him temporarily. His skin doesn't catch fire.

...Oh, there is this one weakness, his body has adapted so that anything that enters his ear, sound or otherwise, becomes a part of him, therefore gaining his levels of mass, so his eardrum is a weak spot.

Weight: Again, it would be impossible to describe without a crazy hyperbole, but it suffices to say that sinking in the ground forever is a very real fear for James, and it would have happened already long ago if it wasn't for Diesel City's reinforced asphalt. This is the biggest problem James has with his power, the other one being...

Unfeeling: If nothing goes through his dermis, his nerves don't receive anything.

Physical Attributes: Being able to effortlessly lift your house doesn't mean that you have to look the part. James hasn't ever trained and is prone to back problems due to bad posture.

--HISTORY--
Home: A one floor house in the inner hub, close to the Town Center.

Family/Friends: His mother is Stephanie Robins, better known as the legendary S14, youngest ever Patron of Indianapolis. He has never met his father, but he was told tales about him: Victory, savior of mankind and one of the World's mightiest heroes, met his end while Stephanie was still in pregnancy.

Background: Most supers remember the moment when they discovered they have powers fondly, as a moment of joy. Even amongst those who don't, most of the others remember the moment they gained powers, be it by the superpower lottery or by some freak accident. Few are the supers who were too young to recall it. James is amongst them unique.

His powers came to be back when he was a 2 month old embryo. If he had the capacity to realize what was going on back then, he would have hated them already. They came to be when his mother, then Patron of Indianapolis, and her then fiancee Victory, aka Richard Joyner, were attacked by a small army of terrorist in her own house. The regenerative S14 could deal with the fire, explosions and bullets, but her yet to be born offspring, regenerating again and again, drawing from his mother's power unintentionally, and every time adapting to the damage.

Returning stronger only to be maimed, burnt and crushed again and again. And again and again regenerate stronger, due to S14's immense power and her body's will to let her baby live. James would never get to have a father, since Victory died, not being powerful enough to deal with the rebel army.

By the time the attack was over, little James weighted fourteen tons. The rest of the pregnancy was somewhat complicated.

The remainder of James' history was defined by his tremendous density, really. It was obvious that even for a super, he wasn't normal. He was too heavy for most surfaces, and every passing day the fear of sinking forever was becoming more and more real.

James is almost an hermit now, living in a house made of metal. His mother is basically his only friend. He goes on walks every so often knowing perfectly well that it is a luxury he will not have when he grows older and becomes bigger.

--TOURNAMENT--
Team: James is blessed to have S14, his mother, in his team. She is strong and experienced, and her regenerative powers do help. The woman may be 42 right now, but thinking that age has gotten the best out of her would be a huge mistake.

Are you okay with other tournament entrants KILLING your character in their tournament writing?: I may be sad about it, but I'm a good sport. I know that sometimes it's necessary.

Are you okay with other tournament entrants using your character in their tournament writing?: That would be awesome. He would be very glad to be in them.

Other: Nothing, really, I think I got my bases covered.

--LAST WORDS--
List the three most important things about your character.
1. He would do anything to change.
2. He hates powers. This doesn't exclusively mean his powers.
3. He may fight often with his mother, but she is the only person he loves. In a way he is just jealous of her, since she represents everything he can't be.
