Move Creation Workshop

[Alex Mercer]

This is the goal I want to work up to. It's Mercer's entire Physiology - a cross between Virus Embodiment and Biomass Construct. This has quite a bit of fodder in it. I could shorten it down and then add the flavor text later, of course.

I am the Virus [300]
Prerequisites: (Unsure)

• Advanced Regeneration
  
• Dissassemble
  
• Shapesihifting
  
• Survival
  

The Prototype's body is not human. It has not been human since the Blacklight virus consumed it and merely took on the appearance of Alexander J. Mercer. As Mercer himself said "I've become something less than human, but also something more."

The Prototype's body is composed entirely of Biomass, a semi-solid form that merely holds the shape of Alex Mercer. Because of this, he can seemingly recover from wounds nearly instantly by willing biomass around the injury to pull together. This even fixes his clothing, which are biomass constructs as well.

To the onlooker, he appears to be instantly regenerating, even picking up his own head and putting it back on as if it were nothing. In actuality, damage is merely internalized. The more damage he takes, the more his biomass loses integrity. He can still die if enough of his biomass is damaged; his body melting as the biomass loses cohesion.

The more serious an injury, the longer it takes to correct it. He slows down to concentrate, even standing still for up to five seconds to seemingly "heal" (at least externally) the most grievous of wounds, such as decapitation.

To sum up:
Mercer can fake-heal himself almost instantly, but it actually works much like Guu's Papercut. However, damage is  actually internalized instead of simply moved around the body. He can also reattach limbs through "melding" them via Disassemble and Advanced Regeneration. Full damage is still taken, just not shown.
