---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES (Required: 2 Weaknesses Minimum) :
+ Biological Terror: All the others that he was created with were meant for specific purposes in war, his was to be a spreader of biological weaponry. His ability to transfer spores, viruses, and bacteria without being harmed made him a very promising carrier for such deadly diseases. He is resistant to most diseases that normal sentients are vulnerable to, however certain tree diseases are quite harmful.
+ Plantlife: The trait that most of the species he was mixed with had in common was that they were sentient plants. This along with the overt use of augmentation to his body and mind has given him the almost unique ability to increase flora life where ever he stays. The limited Force that he has is singled only to an aura that increases plants' lifespan, size, and flexibility to new environs.
+ Skilled combatant: Even though he was meant for something akin to a disease spreader, the people who created him did not leave his own self-defense out of the equation. Due to being part Echani, his body is inclined towards combat and his finesse in combat is misleadingly agile when compared to his bulk and size.
+/- Reliant on Water: As he is mostly plant, his body requires water, preferably lots. On desert planets his abilities tend to weaken and his body begins to shrivel if he spends too much time there. On water planets, or planets with high humidity, he flourishes. He becomes stronger and his bark becomes harder and thicker.
+/- Photosynthetic: Similar to his reliance upon water, he is also somewhat reliant on sunlight. However thanks to some of the breeds that went into him not requiring much sunlight at all he can live without it for long periods of time. During longer periods without sunlight his body will tend to be more sluggish and his armor will not grow as quickly.
+/- Emotional Augmentation: His creators saw the potential of a tree based being in that it may make it more emotional than preferred. To inhibit Flos' capacity for compromising emotions, he was been fitted with augmentation to hold emotions at bay and to make him more analytical. As his mind has grown around the augmentations, he has been able to have some of the higher emotions that were originally locked away, however he still thinks analytically and often sees things in facts rather than emotions or full thoughts.
- The Burning of Forests: Tree, fire not good. Simple, yes. His bark acts as a temporary protection against fire, however it burns quickly leaving him with little to no defense.
- Pollution: Overly polluted air is harmful to his body systems, making planets like Coruscant a dangerous place to go on long visits. His body can mostly regenerate from the effects, however it leaves him weakened and not as healthy for a time.
- Violence: Because he was meant to be a living weapon, Flos' creators made him naturally more prone to violence then most sentient beings are.
- Loyalty to None: He is only truly loyal to himself and the other Alphas.
- Temperature Barrier: As a plant, Mortem is weakened when living in an environment that has extreme temperatures. There are ways that he can combat the weakness, however it is far too difficult to be worth the effort.
APPEARANCE:
Flos appears human in most aspects, however his skin, hair, and eyes are decidedly different. His skin is colored similar to regular human skin, however it is tough and more like tree bark. His hair, when not covered by a protective bark, is long(past his shoulders in length) and appears to be like the leaves of a willow tree. However, it is just as strong as human hair. If his outer bark is broken off, one would find a smooth surface like wood, with the deep dark brown color of the Kindalo. His face is shallow and is most of the time visible for all to see, however when threatened a bark like protection quickly grows around it and his face becomes invisible behind a tough wood and bark protection. He is thickset when covered in his protective shell, however when appearing more human he tends to be thinner and less intimidating.
When frightened or threatened, his hands grow to become make shift weapons. His right hand closes to become something akin to a blade, while his left becomes a battering ram basically.
During spring seasons he often has flowers that grow in his hair, beautiful purple ones that had the scent of lavender.
Personality:
Flos tends to be quiet and more withdrawn around most people. He thinks that this is a natural consequence of being made for battle while being a thing of life. When angered he lashes out violently, he often does not have any remorse about his actions and will do whatever he believes necessary to survive. He tends to keep his plans to himself, always keeping everyone else wondering. Because he is obviously different, he had been outcast on multiple occasions and this has led to him being less caring for those around him.
The only thing other than the Alphas and himself that he cares for are plants. He often tries to grow species of plants in areas that they were uncommon. He seems to communicate with them, even if it is only a one sided communication.
BIOGRAPHY:
Flos Mortem was created by Sith and rogue scientists for the singular purpose of battle. He was the fifth in a line of warriors created, named Alphas. Each had their own special abilities, his was working alongside plantlife and being a courier for diseases. His combat efficiency also made him a useful basic combatant. He hardly understood the other Alphas, though he felt a kinship that would later be his salvation from the torture of their makers. He learned with the others that he was as expendable as a simple man to these creators. They didn't truly cared what happened to him. He became less caring of their orders. Little did he expect retribution to such a degree as was given.
The tortures that were wrought upon him were truly terrible, his skin was burned and his bark would be peeled as painfully as possible from him. His makers would place him in mental agony, leaving him all but debilitated. It was during these dark days that Alpha 4 began to plot an escape. Flos, when not left completely debilitated by the makers, assisted where he could. Eventually it led to their escape and Flos followed the idea that they should all separate for the time being. He tried to disappear, escaping to the planet Kashyyyk for safety. Its deep forests and high humidity made it a perfect place for him. He lived mostly in the deepest forests as to avoid detection.
In recent years he plans on leaving the planet. Though he does not truly with to, as he has carved out a comfortable living. He has had to hide from a number of dangers, but nothing that he had been unable to handle. But he remembers his promise to find the other Alphas and wishes to keep that promise.
