Hybrid

Hybrid, named the same as what his species is renowned as across the omniverse, is an incredibly mysterious and extraordinary being, and is the oldest member and original founder of the Lads.

## Personality & Appearance

### Appearance

Although likely not his true appearance, Hybrid's "preferred" appearance is what everyone sees on a daily basis. Standing just shy of 6'3" and built like a casual athlete, Hybrid generally looks like an action hero that never quite exited his teenage phase. Like any normal civilized individual, Hybrid changes clothes on a regular basis, but is found most often donning a purple-blue jacket with an oversized hood (that does actually fit over hit helmet, comfortably even), which is actually a signature piece of his own merchandise, with a rather prideful bust print on the back. The rest of his clothes are also his own merchandise, however there is a reason for him almost exclusively wearing this beyond liking his own clothing most. Going along with this are plain black jeans, a grey singlet under a red-aubergine plaid shirt, a pair of black converse shoes, and some hand wraps. Lastly is the most prominent and iconic part of his look, the helmet. Atop where Hybrid's head would be is a steel-grey helmet with silver accents and gold wings, it is quite unremarkable beyond its unique design and apparent total indestructability. Hybrid has hinted that he has inherited some "quirks" from Abadon owing to the time Hybrid has spent with the demon lord, and with such quirks, Hybrid also hints that he is hiding a lot of scars, marks, and brandings from his rough hitsory.

## Powers, Abilities & Statistics

### Powers & Abilities

As a part of the single most mysterious, diverse, and extraordinary species in the known omniverse, as well as his incredibly long history, Hybrid has a vast array of supernatural powers, ranging from comic-book like to oddly specific and some even disturbingly grim. Not all of his powers as of his current point in his life came to him naturally, some were learned, some were inherited, and others were stolen.

**Astral Projection**

**Berserk Mode**

**Eldritch Comprehension**

**Electricity Manipulation**

Hybrid can absorb and conduct massive amounts of electric charges, using it to empower himself and his attacks, or transmit it through his body for a powerful blast of force that does not draw upon his own hybridic energy. Should he wish to truly devestate an opponent or structure, he can empower his own energy with enormous amounts of electricity, amplifying its strength to cause absolutely catastrophic damage, he vary rarely does this however as it almost always results in unwanted casualties.

**Emotional Empowerment**

**Enhanced Physicality**

Mid-Supernatural Durability, Mid-Supernatural Speed (Mid-Superhuman Reaction Speed), High-Supernatural Stamina, High-Supernatural Strength

By far one of Hybrid's most prominent abilities, vastly outclassing his fellow Lads in sheer strength, speed and durability. Capable of moving many times faster than sound, both on land and in the air, Hybrid moves faster than any vehicle conceived on Earth and has even caught up to ballistic missiles and redirected them. Alongside his blinding reaction speed, this allows Hybrid to easily dodge gunfire, even point-black supersonic bullets, and has shown to be fast enough to catch them even as they are leaving the barrel.

To match his blinding speed, Hybrid's strength is vastly unmatched, easily overpowering super soldiers and daemons alike. Coupling with his speed allows him to deliver explosively devastating blows to any foe who dares provoke such a force. Hybrid regularly measures his own might, but typically does not share the data, claiming he feels petty telling people "how strong he is", though has been seen casually lifting shipping containers, massive stone bodies, and vehicles, including tanks, above his head. Despite constantly believing he can be better and live up to some of the more powerful of his species, Hybrid often holds back a lot of his strength due to its devastating effects and how easily he can end lives, especially on Earth.

Topping of his demigodly might is his incredible durability. Hybrid can walk through gunfire as if it were a soft breeze, with even the most advanced forms of ammunition only being able to bruise him. Hybrid can, almost surprisingly, withstand his own strength, only beginning to push his body's limits when he goes toe-to-toe against incredibly powerful and durable beings such as Wrath. Nevertheless, Hybrid has survived what none of his other comrades would, including air-to-surface missile strikes, falling from orbit, flying into stars, being struck by divine (and unholy) weaponry, among countless other feats. Thwaites has proven himself strong enough to exceed Hybrid's immense resilience, having pierced Hybrid's flesh with Regicide, however the master crafted blade was incapable of damaging Hybrid's bones, which themselves have shown to be almost indestructible. Hybrid's skeleton has withstood blade strikes from powerful daemonic weaponry, divine arsenals and even Wrath's own spear where the blade has torn right through his flesh right down to his bones, but Hybrid still successfully blocks the attack, and his strength does not debilitate.

**Enhanced Senses**

Enhanced Hearing, Vision (Atomic, Dark, Extra-Planar, FTL, Infrared, Micro, Spiritual, Supercolour, Telescopic, Thermographic, Ultra-Violet, X-Ray), Sixth

Both through natural superhuman gifts and intense sensory training, Hybrid has enhanced his ability to hear things, capable of identifying a heartbeat at a hundred metres away, and differentiating hundreds of different sounds and pinpointing their location with little effort. Alongside this, Hybrid can see in a wide variety of spectrums as well, capable of seeing radiation, seeing *with* radiation, seeing the entire light spectrum, as well as into different planes of existence and non-corporeal beings. Being able to see spiritual entities and various layers of reality is likely due to his semi-regular plane shifting and spending countless years around spiritual beings.

On top of these capabilities, Hybrid also has a sixth sense that activates situationally, such as sensing Wrath's arrival into the universe, and knowing his friends were under attack from that same being. Hybrid also senses death itself, but tends to ignore its ominous presence both due to his own hubris, and having not died in an unknown amount of time, if ever, and having sensed this presence for as long as he can remember.

**Flight**

True Flight

Flight is a common superpower amongst hybrids, and Hybrid is one to have the gift. Hybrid has wings made of energy, but does not actually need them to fly, proving many times he can fly without them.

**Genius Intellect**

**Hybridic Energy Manipulation**

**Immortality**

Types 1 & 2

Hybrid is incredibly hard to kill, however this is mostly due to his nigh-indestructible body, provided one can bypass this obstacle, Hybrid can be felled like any other superhuman. Impalement of the heart, excessive blood loss, shock, excessive bodily damage, all the usual causes of death (with the exception of injury directed toward the head) will work on Hybrid.

**Magic**

**Martial Arts**

**Near Limitless Stamina**

**Regeneration**

Medium-3 Tier

Hybrid has an effective regeneration factor that serves well alongside his high durability, allowing him to regrow extremities, and even limbs. This does not save him from truly fatal wounds such as destruction of the heart or evisceration. He can however survive other organ damage seemingly no matter the organ vitalness, so long as his heart remains intact. Typically, Hybrid does not scar from conventional wounds, but magical or powerful artifacts can cause severe enough damage to leave permanent damage upon his flesh, as has happened countless times before.

**Self-Sustenance**

Hybrid doesn't require the typical dependencies of a living organism to survive, needing not food, water, oxygen, or rest. Much like Mexia, Hybrid does still have a fondness of eating, drinking, and sleeping however, finding peace in sleep and simple satisfaction in eating and drinking. No one actually knows how he eats or drinks, however…

**Shapeshifting**

A power Hybrid had half learned and half inherited from Abadon, inherited thanks to the indeterminate amount of time the two spent in bed together. Hybrid is capable of minorly altering his form, such as changing skin colour, complexion, height, and weight (to minor degrees), but Hybrid really only uses this power for one purpose; hiding scars, marks, and brandings. Across his countless years of existence, Hybrid had accumulated an innumerable amount of disfigurements of varying brutality, and he uses this ability to keep his form looking clean.

**Soul Manipulation**

**Storm Generation**

Hybrid's chaotic nature and powerful presence tends to conjure violent storms when he begins to release his might a bit. When in high-stake battles, Hybrid will often use the storm to his advantage, using as a cloaking device, hiding his presence, but also conducts massive amounts of lightning through him to use as a weapon or empower himself.

**Supernatural Breathing**

Hybrid is capable of spending several days in abyssal water conditions, can survive in the vacuum of space, and is able to breathe in unfavorable atmospheres. Hybrid does not need oxygen to live and cannot die from suffocation or drowning. He's also proven immune to many airborne gasses and the like, such as cyanide gas and Zyklon B.

**Weapon Mastery**

One would expect that the ancient humanoid wielding a shapeshifting weapon would be a master at wield majority of the forms the weapon takes up. Your expectations would be correct, over the countless years Hybrid has been in symbiosis with Leah, he has become a nigh-perfect expect at wield a large variety of weaponry, however primarily having her uptake a zweihander-style form. Hybrid can wield polearms, swords, short blades, fist weapons, small and large firearms, blunt weapons, and even weapons that Leah wouldn't typically shift into, such as makeshift weapons like broken pieces of glass or metal, among many, many other things, with immense efficiency.
