Skazzler Stark

Skazzler Stark is the long discussed 16th member of the Indigo Syndicate and was personally recommended by Lazlo Kicklighter, due to Skazzlers experience as a fighter and his close bond with him. He is the Indigo Syndicates Bio-Mutant and is currently the only bio-mutant in existence.
==Backstory==
Skazzler Stark started off as a mere farmer within The Nation. When enemy armies killed his father, who was a Nation soldier in front of him, Skazzler soughted revenge against those who killed his father. Herbert Stark, his father was a kind and gentle man of The Nations army who would only resort to violence if he had no choice. He would also donate money to orphanages and saved people from burning buildings.
With his father Herbert dead, Skazzler decided to enlist in the Nations military and he would be grouped with his two first friends.
==Meeting with Lazlo and Thin Man==
Due to The Nations training regime involved them pairing people up to bond and create strategies, Skazzler would find himself paired up with Lazlo Kicklighter and Thin Man. They were dubbed "Squad H" by The Nations military. The three of them would become quick friends, rescuing each other from danger and fighting back evil. Their friendship would prove to come in handy when it came to their most important fight.
==The Red Hurricane==
During The Red Hurricanes massacre of a village, Squad H decided to confront The monster known as The Red Hurricane. When Lazlo got injured after a fight against the two, Thin Man ordered Skazzler to lead The Red Hurricane into the deep cave shaft with their remaining one hundred soldiers and plant dynamite. He would do so by taunting The Red Hurricane and with some luck, got out of the cave before he would notice. Thin Man would give Skazzler a detonator while he was helping Lazlo, making Skazzler set off the bombs inside the cave. The Red Hurricane was trapped in the cave with the one hundred soldiers with the idea that this will either slow him down long enough to get Lazlo to safety or he'll die by either the soldiers or being trapped in the cave.
They would get Lazlo the medical attention he needed as Skazzler was traumatized being chased by The Red Hurricane. Every single day he would have nightmares of him and his obsession to become stronger than him would grow. He would eventually go to Dr. Eugene Krauser for a request.
==The Bio mutation==
Stark requested to Krauser that if he had any experiments to make a soldier stronger, he should give it to him. He wants to become stronger so the incident with Lazlo wouldn't happen again. Skazzler was in luck since Dr. Eugene Krauser admitted he was modifying some Psycho Serum to give people strong powers, especially if they don't have any inherent magic affinity. With Skazzler having a disease that prevents him from using magic naturally, he was a perfect fit for the experimentation.
Skazzler would be put into a coma in a tube while Krauser was experimenting on him. Due to a dare by one of Krausers fellow scientists on if he could make a vampire or not after having a chat, Krauser found the idea amusing as he decided to mix the Psycho Soldier serum with vampire bat and Eel blood out of curiosity of what would happen. When the experimenting was done, Skazzler was horribly mutated. His hair grew long and sharp, his hands had mouthes on them, and he felt the desire to consume blood. After a verbal argument between him and Krauser on these changes, Krauser said this is the strength he needed. Krauser told Stark that he is the first Bio-mutant: A human who used chimera DNA of various creatures and the Psycho Soldier serum to become what he is now. He was also told that he needs to use his vampiric hands every 24 hours to drain the blood of someone, particularly criminals or else his sanity would dwindle and would transform into a stronger but more unstable monster. Skazzler knew the risks but decided to take it if it means he can be more powerful.
==Joining the Syndicate==
When Lazlo and Eegore convinced Popeye Jr. to let go of his fear of the 16th Seat, Popeye Jr. would look over the various candidates on who would be the 16th member. Lazlo Kicklighter gave a suggestion: His old friend Skazzler Stark. While Thin Man was also a potential member, Skazzler hasn't interacted with the Indigo Syndicate yet and wanted him back due to his transformation.
When Eegore confronted Pyro Brock of Armageddon about their past, the two of them got into a fight. When Eegore was on the verge of losing, Lazlo came to Eegores aid with Skazzler Stark. Lazlo wanted to show off Skazzlers power as he was recording this to Popeye Jr. As Pyro Brock and Skazzler fought, Skazzler grabbed Pyro Brock by his mouth and lifted him up before shoving one of his long, vampiric mouth hand tongues into his mouth, slowly draining his blood and punching a hole into his stomach with the other one, killing the Armageddon member.
Eegore and Popeye Jr. were impressed by Skazzlers strength and let him join in as the 16th member.
==Personality==
Skazzler Stark is an ambitious and cunning but also kind man at heart. He values his two friends, Thin Man and Lazlo well and is willing to do special favors from them. He ended up accepting the invitation to the Indigo Syndicate as a special favor from Lazlo. He was initially disgusted by Krauser over him tampering his experimentation but grew to enjoy it after seeing the strength he got from it.
Skazzler is a risk taker and is willing to put his life on the line if it means to defeat an enemy or to save someones life. This was best shown when he trapped The Red Hurricane inside a cave by causing it to cave in from explosives to slow him down long enough to rescue Lazlo. Due to his trauma from the encounter, one of his goals is to absorb enough energy to become strong enough to defeat The Red Hurricane in battle.
He detests being called a "freak" due to his bio mutation. He thinks bio mutants deserve equal rights as everyone else and hates it when people say otherwise. He helps victims of war and chaos by giving them free homes and money.
==Powers==
Before his mutation, he was a normal soldier. After his Bio mutation, he became something more. His bio mutation from Krauser gave him just as much strengths as there is flaws. 
One of the more notable parts of his mutation are his hands. They have mouthes on them and when he uses them, he uses the tongue to drain the blood out of his enemies and into his body. He needs their blood every 24 hours unless he loses his sanity and let the transformation progress. It does have the added benefit of him letting him use magic which he couldn't do previously due to a disease. He can also drain peoples blood to regain health if he is heavily injured.
Everything about Skazzler has poison in it. He would shoot his hairs like needles, poisoning the enemy and throwing thousands of needle-like hairs into them. His claws drip with poison. And it is stated if he dies, his body has to be disposed of in a special way to make sure he doesn't poison the Earth. His magic he gained also becomes stronger if the enemy is poisoned.
Skazzler is also capable of slitting his wrists to shoot gallons of poison and acid at the enemy through his cut veins.
He has the option of ignoring his once every 24 hour thirst to become stronger. It'll drain his sanity and force him to transform even more, though. Lazlo stated that Skazzler Stark is a High Risk, High reward member with the rewards of inducting him into the Syndicate being well worth the effort of keeping him.
