NAME:  Francis (Frank) Kearney Hyde
ALIAS:  Ogre
AGE:  23
KNOWN RELATIVES: They're dead. Don't ask again.
NATIONALITY:  U.S. citizen (Creole  Acadian)
LEGAL STATUS: 2 minor misdemeanors (school related)

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:  Saying Francis is big for his age wouldn't be accurate. He is big for any age. An easy 6 foot 8 inches he is broad enough that he has to come through most doors one shoulder at a time. Going by his massive, hulking build people expect him to be as coordinated as a drunk bull in a china cabinet but he actually moves with precision, grace, and even a bit of flare.

His skin is a dark, rich chocolate in tone and his hair is glossy black that he keeps in dozens of neat, tight corn row braids to the back of his head and they are long enough to hang below his massive shoulders. Each braid ends in a single bead of different woods.

When Frank is relaxed or not being threatened he has a rather handsome face with dark brown, expressive, eyes, rather mobile eyebrows and a high forehead. His nose is a bit broad and flat but given the width of his rather square face it works well especially considering his strong, square jaw that looks like it was just made to block uppercuts.

EXCEPTIONAL ABILITIES:  First off it should be stated that the source and nature of Ogre's abilities is unknown. While he may be a mutant it is unlikely given the scope of his abilities. There is a possibility that they are  supernatural in nature. He does appear to have some unknown and secretive benefactor.

Ogre is an adaptive biomorph. What this means is that his body will modify itself to survive in almost any environment or situation. In most cases it will do this automaticly based on the conditions but this can be inprecise with the adaptation undergoing several iterations depending on how long the conditions persist. (For example if he finds himself in a fire his first adaptation might be a thick layer of ablative skin to be burned away. If the fire persists then he may generate a layer of fire proof skin then maybe an active cooling system.)

If he knows that he will be entering a particular hazardous situation Ogre can actively control his adaptations and perform them before entering the envirnment.

Depending on the extent of the adaptations effected it may take several seconds to occur, but he can be active while the changes are happening. His body can add or shed mass from an unknown source in order to make adaptations, but he cannot use this mass to heal an injury although his body does heal at an exceptional rate. (He has regrown a missing tooth in only a few hours) It would require a very unusual or powerful poison or toxin for his body to not be able to adapt to it.

Typically when Ogre begins adapting one of the first changes that will happen is he will develop occluded covering for his eyes to protect them, this looks milky white but does not seem to affect his vision. He often grows a rather impressive set of tusks, and his teeth would make a shark swim up a dirt road to get away. His fingernails also lengthen into claws. He can prevent these changes through concentration.

Even in his normal, relaxed state Ogre is incredibly strong and resistant to injury and physical damage. He can easily lift five+ tons and even high-power rifle rounds will only inflict very minor wounds. He can boost this to an as yet unknown level but beyond a certain size it gets hard for him to move. Going the other way, by optimizing for speed he can sleek down to a form that can run faster than an exotic sports car. He cannot take on a form that can fly but he can do a flying squirrel like glider.

Ogre has an innate resistance to magic that is well beyond the normal and most spells and spell like effects that would affect him physically just roll over him with little to no effect and magic that creates an area of effect such as a fireball or explosion will still affect him unless he is buffed against the effect. Unfortunately, this magical immunity extends to even beneficial spells such as healing.  Other types of magic are unknown. If this is an ability he had naturally, or a result of his transformation is unclear.

SPECIAL NOTE:  Shortly after he was sent to the McCarthy Bording School for High Risk Teens <prison> Francis found the secondhand clothes in his closet replaced with 5 identical suits of exceptional quality. None had labels but each was the equivalent of an Armani. While the suits appear to be wool, cotton and silk so far they have proven impossible to damage or even get dirty. Each suit consists of a pair of precisely pressed wool slacks with a tailored jacket, both a matte black with a faint herringbone weave, an absolute black, 3 button, satin vest, a gloss black silk shirt and a blood red narrow silk tie.  A black fedora with a red hat band and black and white patent leather wingtip shoes complete the look. With his dark looks and massive build the overall effect is rather startling. All of the suits adapt with him as he shifts and so far have withstood everything he has thrown at them without so much as a fray, scuff, or stain. To add to the weirdness of the clothes they do nothing to protect Ogre from damage but WILL protect anyone he puts them on.

SPECIAL SKILLS:  In spite of his brutish size and appearance Francis is actually well read and intelligent he enjoys word puzzles and soduko and is a rather skilled amateur baker. (The Great British Bake Off became required television at his dorm after a few minor incidents)

WEAKNESS:  Ogre has little in the way of physical weaknesses or fears as he can generally adapt to any situation that might harm him. He is however borderline claustrophobic and being in a situation where he thinks he has no way out can cause him to panic. This phobia predates him gaining his Abilities. He also worries about causing unnecessary to someone in a fight so he rarely attacks at his full strength until he knows what he is up against. He isn't a Berserker, but when the adrenalin starts pumping it is sometimes hard to hold back.

HISTORY: When Francis was 14 his Family was killed when an environmental extremist group blew up an interstate bridge while they were driving across it. It is unknown if they were killed by the blast or if it was the 100 foot drop into the rocky canyon but they never got out of the car. What did claw its way free was 700 pounds of razor sharp tusks, butcher knife like claws, hide like tank armor and muscles that treated steel like aluminum foil and turned rock to sand. Fortunately the shock and strain of his first transformation and the situation knocked him unconscious before rescue crews arrived. He did go from 5' 8" and 167 pounds before the accident to 6' 5" and 360 pounds afterward.

With his family dead none of his relatives wanted to take him in when they learned of his "Condition". Turned over to Child Welfare he was placed into 'The System'. Aside from a few minor incidents (they could never PROVE that he compacted the Councilor's car into a small ball and left it on the roof.) He did well, studied hard, and excelled at his classes. As a special secret project, he has been collecting information on the group that killed his Family with an eye toward paying them a visit.
