## Description

**Reese Green** was a test subject in an underground LGNKR laboratory that conducted illegal hybridization experiments. For a long time, Reese was subjected to painful torture, changing his genetic and mechanical structure, which significantly deformed his appearance, but gave him amazing abilities. Having miraculously escaped from the laboratory, Reese decided to use the obtained superpowers in order to expose LGNKR and prevent the continuation of experiments, created a suit and called himself **Rabbit**.

## History

### Early Life

#### Before Kidnapping

Reese Green was born into a family of poor Eastern European migrants, lived in the Jewish area of ​​Kour-Island until the age of 17. His father, a gifted physician, Andrew Green, trying to somehow make a living, got involved in a story with a large pharmaceutical company LGNKR, who offered him a deal. On the same day that Green Sr. signed the mysterious contract, his son Reese was attacked by an unknown creature late on his way home.

#### Guinea Pig

For several years, Reese Green has been subjected to monstrous experiments to improve his body, representing one of the hardiest test subjects. He withstood all the injections, survived all the metamorphoses and operations to introduce metal elements. Despite the most successful results of the experiments, Greene was not under the influence of the LGNKR, which forced them to subsequently begin a series of mind-blocking operations and inserting chips into Reese's nervous system. After figuring this out, Reese made an immediate attempt to escape.

In the fourth year of his imprisonment in the laboratories, Reese managed to carry out his plan and staged a riot in the laboratory, which turned out to be located near New-Vigilsfield, in the neighboring state of Jefferson. While other hybrids were destroying the premises and killing employees, Reese successfully escaped through the sewer network.

### Afterlife

#### First Attempt At Vendetta

Shortly after returning to Kour-Island, Reese spent some time surrounded by homeless people, and from the things found in the landfill, he makes himself his first Rabbit costume. In it, he attacks bandits who are associated with the LNGKR, but turns out to be physically and morally weaker than his opponents, ending up in the hospital. The doctors decided not to reveal information about the mysterious patient with a deformed face, however, Reese quickly regenerated all injuries and showed himself somewhat inadequate in the presence of a nurse.

#### Therapy Session

Because of his out-of-control behavior, Reese was sent to a psychiatrist, Dr. Lloyd Fludd, with whom Green promptly shared his story of years of torment. After listening to the young man, and not revealing really serious psychological trauma in him, with the exception of PTSD against the background of torture, Lloyd decides to help him by allowing him to leave the hospital, and also giving him his second apartment for temporary residence.

#### Old Friend

Without thinking twice, Reese resumed his vendetta, having managed to find out from acquaintances in criminal circles that LGNKR would soon be taking out some kind of secret cargo out of town. Tracking down the truck, Greene was able to puncture the wheels with spikes, nearly killing the innocent drivers in his recklessness. However, he immediately paid the price for this when the T.H.I.S. - the one that Reese kidnapped from his home and brought to the LGNKR operating table.

Despite his superpowers, Reese had almost no chance against the monster, and he almost died, however, despite his fear, he was able to defeat T.H.I.S. with the help of a fallen tree, after which he fled before the LGNKR agents arrived at the place.

### When Wind Fails You

#### Assault on Lab

Although the previous outing was unsuccessful for Reese, he did not stop there and went to the very laboratory outside the city, where, as he believed, one more hybrids could be contained. The plan was to replicate his escape by releasing other hybrids into the wild. However, this was not destined to happen, since upon arrival inside, he did not find any hybrids.

On the same evening, following Reese, who broke through the defenses of the laboratory, Sparrow flew into the property of LGNKR in order to steal some important drug. Sparrow wanted to leave Reese, but he stopped the kidnapper, as he intended to take the drug stolen by Sparrow and take it to the police station. Fight was again not in Reese's favor as Sparrow used her flying advantage. Sparrow managed to neutralize Green by lifting him high into the sky and he, catching a panic, lost consciousness.

#### Different Body, Same Mind

Reese woke up in the N.E.S.T. in Japan under the leadership of Suzume Tensai, the former head of the genetic research department of the LGNKR, which turned out to be the same Sparrow. Upon learning that Sparrow is a woman, Green was horrified and at the same time terribly sexually aroused. Suzume intended to recruit Rhys to help her undermine the LGNKR's reputation, and then continue her hybridization experiments in a more humane way. Reese refused, but when Sparrow found out about his hyperattraction to the opposite sex, she used it to cloud his mind.

After being almost raped, Reese was able to break free from Suzume's caresses to protest. Sparrow continued to look for ways to pressure, convincing Green of the righteousness of her ideas. Her team prepared an updated Rabbit costume for Reese, and he, unable to think clearly in her presence, almost agrees, but at the very last moment, when Suzume takes his animal form, all panic and stiffness of the Rabbit disappears and he enters into a fight with her. Reese finally began to dominate the fight, so Sparrow went into retreat, along with her people, took all the samples of the drug.

## Personality

Wounded by life, which subjected him to monstrous experiments that aggravated his life, Reese is full of complexes, in particular regarding all his modifications, extremely emotional, often subject to outbursts of mood swings. Reese Green is an associative character whose attempts at communication fail, often in a comedic way for surrounders and tragic for himself. Although he is driven by revenge in affairs, to prevent a repetition of what he went through for others, Rabbit turns out to be extremely paranoid, hypochondriacal and observably insecure, and therefore throws his consequences directly into the process. In an attempt to get to the bottom of the truth with the discredit of his tormentors, he is engaged in parallel therapy, which allows him to block his immature psyche in him and keep himself under control.

No matter how depressed Reese is, his behavior is more comical at the same time - for lack of socialization experience, he constantly says some kind of nonsense, in particular when he comes up with excuses in order not to contact women, for which earned a reputation as a misogynist, which he is not. Mutated physiology gave him an unbearable desire for the opposite sex and an extremely heightened sexual arousal when interacting with girls. Although Rabbit is unsure of himself, he is full of hope and dreams to improve his condition, although he himself interferes with himself. His overreflexes also make him extremely shy, and the mutations dull his overall quick wit, making Reese a naive guy who doesn't know how to navigate situations.

### Mental Disorders

* **Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder**
* **Body Dysmorphic Disorder:** Reese Green is aware of his ugliness, so he registers himself as a freak in advance and tries not to have contact with society, preferring to hide his face, hands and other parts of the body, covered with scars and stitches. He sees himself even more terrible than he is, and this depresses him even more.
	+ **Suicidal Ideation:** Provoked by concerns about his appearance, Reese often contemplates taking his own life, often subjecting himself to physical torture, but quickly stopping due to fear of death.
* **Compulsive Sexual Behavior (Hypersexual Disorder):** Rabbit genetics significantly increased Reese's sexual libido, which is why he can hardly control attraction to the opposite sex, desire for sex and other manifestations of his sexual activity in impulsive actions.
	+ **Gynophobia (Fear of Women):** In fear of harming someone, the Rabbit is so driven that in a female environment he experiences uncontrollable panic, because of which he earns a bad reputation. He cannot be sure of the sincerity of his feelings and considers himself a source of danger for others, so he tries not to have much contact with society, so as not to cause any further harm.

* **Algophobia (Fear of Pain)**
	+ **Hemophobia (Fear of Blood)**
	+ **Tomophobia (Fear of Surgery)**
	+ **Aichmophobia (Fear of Sharp Things)**

## Appearance

Reese Green has survived some interventions in the body, not only genetic, but also mechanical in nature, which allows him to have most of his abilities. In particular, this concerns the structure of his legs - they are disproportionately longer due to mutations. The size of the foot is also increased to an abnormal size. Balance and the ability to move like a normal individual is provided by several movable metal pins embedded in Reese's legs. The spine is also reinforced with metal parts to maintain posture and withstand overload from imbalances in the body.

Due to his various experiments, Reese's overall appearance also underwent significant changes. His face is partly disfigured, he has many small scars and stitches. The upper jaw protrudes slightly forward, while the two front teeth grow uncontrollably, which is why they are extremely sharp and long. The upper lip is split to accommodate the teeth, and the cleft runs the length of the philtrum. In place of ordinary nails, much tougher and sharper claws grow. The hair on the head is much coarser, more like animal fur than human hair. At the same time, facial hair is extremely sparse, mainly under the nose; the hairs are quite long, reminiscent of a cat’s whiskers.

The orbicularis muscle is convex, the nose is flattened, there are almost no nostrils. The eyes are small and spaced far apart. Also, the eyeball is completely black, making it impossible to accurately see the whites, iris, and pupil. The ears are extended upward and slightly pointed, the cheekbones are wide, and the forehead is low.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Mutated Physiology**
	+ **Super-Strength:** To be added
	+ **Increased Speed:** Disproportionate legs provide high speed. In general human proportions, Reese is capable of speeding up to 60 km/h .
	+ **High Jumping:** The abnormally large feet increase the power of the jump when burning, allowing Reese to jump to heights in excess of 3 meters with a range of almost 6 meters.
	+ **High Bite Force:** The jaw, with its reshaped form, increased its bite force by several times, thereby making it possible for Green to gnaw through not only wood or stone, but even metal. One good bite can even completely crush a human bone.
	+ **Hypersensetivity:** Improved reflexes are both a strength and a weakness. Reese can quickly react to an outside threat using his "sense" - if his ear picks up a suspicious sound, he will start tapping his foot (like rabbits do in the wild). Over-reaction works well in combat, but in communication it spoils everything, especially when it comes to contact with women, in which Reese is strongly attracted.

## Equipment

* **American Blue Suit:** Reese Green's main costume, inspired by the Blue American rabbit. A costume was created for Suzumi Tensai, one of Rabbit's opponents, as a gift for a supposed alliance against the LGNKR, however Sparrow and Rabbit's ideals did not converge, although Reese kept the costume for himself. The suit has a Kevlar coating as protection, while the outer shell has been upgraded with spandex and latex for fluidity of movement.
	+ **Helmet:** A carbon fiber helmet, similar to a bicycle helmet, covered in spandex/latex and protects against head injuries. The ears essentially act as antennas that pick up radio frequency bands, including control lines, and simply amplify an already sensitive hearing, increasing the reach of audibility by almost a kilometer.
* **Vienna Blue Suit:** an original suit upgraded by Thornhip that provides better protection and also features detachable ears that can be used as weapons. The plates on the gloves absorb kinetic energy, allowing the equivalent damage to be redirected when used. Basically, performs the same functions with greater efficiency, thanks to a more skillful approach to the implementation of various micro-mechanisms.
* **Snowshoe Suit:** Rabbit's seasonal attire, exclusively for low temperatures. Despite inhuman physical abilities, weak immunity is a consequence of rabbit genes, therefore even a cold for Reese with a high chance is deadly. Spike also created this suit with built-in heat controls, the woolly outer fabric keeps out cold winds, the coloring provides camouflage, and the soles use a similar technique to the Vienna Blue gloves, but there is a distribution of body weight that allows the Rabbit to continue escaping or chasing even deep snowdrifts without sinking into them.
* **Ring of Mercury**
	+ **Godspeed Armor:** In this armor, which combines manufacturability and antiquity, the Rabbit is able to develop almost supersonic speed, inflicting blows of appropriate strength, while the magical properties of the armor also improve the strength of the body and the regenerative factor.
