Oil Slick

**Debut** | TBA

**Oil Slick** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Ungereipalmidellemani from the planet Oliovegetale Arvlotta. He is a free-use alien originally made by WTB.

## Appearance

Oil Slick is a humanoid alien with crusty tan skin comparable to the appearance of fried batter, while also featuring oily black hair swept backwards and shiny, reflective red eyes that have the appearance of tinted sunglasses. Oil Slick wears a stereotypical 1950's greaser outfit, complete with a black leather jacket with randomly placed zippers, a popped collar, and a red undershirt, dark brown pants with the visible gray chain of his wallet over his left hip, and black boots. In his profile image, Oil Slick displays his grease constructs in the form of a comb held in his right hand.

Oil Slick wears the Simplicitrix on his left earlobe as an ear piercing.

## Personality

Oil Slick has the personality of a stereotypical greaser, generally having a generic "tough guy" attitude and acting like a rebellious troublemaker without any sort of respect for signs of authority, although he makes up for his delinquent behavior with his smooth way with words because of his aura of confidence. Oil Slick loves nothing else in the world but motorcycles and rock n' roll music, and hates his cranky old man back in home.

## Powers

* Oil Slick can generate and manipulate grease through liquifying his endlessly replenishing fat cells, allowing him to either automatically render objects extremely flammable and combustible, and reducing their friction through coating them within a layer of slippery grease. Oil Slick can additionally manipulate the temperature of his grease to make it insanely hot, compress his grease into solidified constructs, surf atop waves of grease due to its frictionless preporties, trigger massive grease fires with the snap of his fingers, and even cause grease explosions in reaction towards water or ice, due to the fact that its heightened temperature will instantly turn any and all water into steam.
	+ Oil Slick's very presence automatically empowers the oil-based abilities of anyone within his immediate vicinity, including TurmOil's oleokinesis and oleoportation, Oilrig's oleokinetic shapeshifting, oil vision, and napalm generation, Tanker Bell's corrosive oil projectiles, Olive Coil's oleokinetic elasticity and invisibility, Bomb Voyage's oil bombs, and Ultimate Decagon Vreedle's grease clones.
* Oil Slick can regenerate should the crusted exterior of his skin suffer any physical damage.
* Oil Slick has enhanced strength, agility, and charisma.
* Oil Slick is immune towards fire, ice, and water, as the explosive reactions with his grease meeting those elements doesn't naturally harm him.

## Weaknesses

* Oil Slick's rebellious personality and delinquent-like characteristics make him a magnet for attracting trouble with the law.
* Oil Slick's grease manipulation is an extreme hassle to deal with, as its slippery preporties and foul organic stench make it difficult to clean up afterwards, while its flammable, combustible, and explosive preporties, especially when it reacts to fire or water at much higher temperatures, make it exceedingly dangerous while in usage. The grease fires he can create cannot be put out through water, as splashing it will only exasperate the flames, and can be extinguished through physically suffocating their fuel source, although those capable of fire manipulation can indeed be able to put them out.
* Prolonged exposure towards cold temperatures can gradually prevent Oil Slick from being able to manipulate the temperature of his grease, negating his ability to create grease fires and explosions.
* Oil Slick has mediocre durability despite his natural regeneration, as the crusted exterior of his body can easily be cracked and broken with enough physical force, with basic punches being more than enough to do so.

## Etymology

* Oil Slick's name references an actual oil slick, but with additional emphasis on "slick," referring to his impressively smooth personality.
* Oil Slick's species name is the Italian translation of "grease your palms," a phrase meaning to bribe someone, typically with money, in exchange for favors.
* Oil Slick's planet name is the Italian translation of "oil vegetable," and an anagram of "Travolta," as in John Travolta, referencing his lead role as Danny Zuko from the 1978 American musical romantic comedy film, *Grease*.
