PSYCHOLOGICAL INFORMATION:

Tecumseh is a gruff loner who has a strong sense of personal honor, believing strongly in his own personal justice of life and how it should be dealt with. He also has a wild, animal-like nature to him and a savage, stemming from his mutation to an extent but also his tribal heritage and his general genetics as a whole. He considers himself what most would deem as a 'Human Shield' he believes that he can take all of the pain in the world and support it on his shoulder's so that no one else must suffer, not caring for his own well being in the slightest if the option is someone else or himself. Though this also stems from the fact he has no real reason to fear death thanks to his regeneration- it is a fact that he was this way before his mutation activated, as he took a bullet for a stranger before he knew he could regenerate at such high paces. Despite this, he is still a loner for the most part- he does not like people, but he enjoys the company of persons. The difference in his eyes being that 'persons' can do downright incredible things when they think on their own, when they hold to their own morals and decisions.

The opposite being true for 'people' who act like sheep, follow those who act stupidly, are effected by the opinions of others far to stronger to follow the ideal of 'politically correct' and so forth. In his eyes it is far more respectful to be yourself, and move on with life realizing not everyone will agree with you, and not everyone is worth trying to argue with or prove your point to. He is a warrior and fighter, but he is beyond all else a lover- he loves his fellow man despite all his annoyances with people, he never wishes to see even the most idiotic person die for no reason- he does however realize that death is a part of the cycle of the world and part of who we are. Death does not scare him, and as such the death of others rarely will make him become emotional or enraged, instead he is generally calm and collected- thinking of the good times and remembering them for it. Though he has been known to shed tears, he simply does not have the same emotional connection and loss that most people hold.

In summary, Tecumseh is a confident (but not overconfident) individual who has his rough and lazy moments, preferring the drink, quite, and lazying about over fighting and working beyond what he must absolutely do. However he is not slime that will leach off anyone, and believes strongly in supporting yourself without the help of others, and staying out of debt of others- because of this he believes that if he is indebted in any way to anyone then he must hold true to it, only certain morals baring his path. It will be very rare that he will tell someone he owes 'no' unless the asking price is completely outrageous and obviously not worth the debt he has toward them, or it contrasts with his morals to the point just the idea disgusts him to even try it. This is not to say he isn't a killer, a murderer or a fighter, he is all three- but that doesn't mean he enjoys it, he simply realizes that sometimes it's better to quite simply deal with the problem and get over it, death as stated before- to him is the natural order of things, and everything- even him, will die at some point in his life.

POWERS & ABILITIES:

Skills: Tecumseh possess a assortment of skills, primarily however they are around the arts, herbalism, hunting and other such things he has learned from his Native American heritage. He is educated of course, and extremely intelligent but he is to lazy and cannot be bothered to learn, preferring to stick with what he enjoys then waste time in a classroom.
  • Indomitable Willpower: Tecumseh has a strong Force of Will, completely free of evil and temptation. For years, he has struggled to balance his life as a realization he was a mutant and trying to figure out what it meant for him and what he needed to do. He is able to emerge from defeats, failures, and emotional trauma even stronger.

  • Genius-Level Intellect: Academically gifted, Tecumseh displays an uncanny affinity for science that is nothing short of genius. He is incredibly gifted and a natural learner, with an IQ well into the mid 200's, however he lacks the drive to use it for anything. Filled with facts, scientific equations, physics, nuclear fission and more- but with no desire to use any of it he instead prefers nature, art and peaceful older-styled life.

  • Master Hunter/Tracker: Tecumseh has trained for years with his tribe to hunt the old ways, when combined with his mutant enhanced senses it has made him a formidable hunter and tracker, and the best of his tribe and generation. Not just having his mutant advantage but also years of experience in doing so under his belt as well.

  • Polyglot: Tecumseh is fluent in many languages including his Tribes Language, as well as multiple African Tribe Languages, the Languages of several other Native American Tribes, English, Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish; he has some knowledge of French, and Portuguese. He has also been taught Japanese ideograms on the side of his Japanese study.

  • Master Martial Artist: Tecumseh is well trained in multiple martial arts, he is known as the man who has mastered many different forms of martial arts. His primary form of combat is an idiosyncratic admixture of Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Muay Thai, Dragon Style Kung Fu, Boxing, Jujitsu, Ninjitsu and Capoeira.

  • Master Archer/Swordsman: Having been trained to use both, He is an expert marksman skilled in throwing weapons and firearms, but operates more efficiently without them. As well as having trained in the use of swords, both eastern and western in origin when combined with his martial arts and acrobatics skill making him extremely well oriented in many different weapons and similar combat forms.
Powers: Tecumseh is a mutant born from the Lupine X-Gene, stemming from the original tribe of Native American's in which the rumor of Lycanthropy began hundreds of years ago. Because he is born a pure Lycanthrope he does not suffer the usual weaknesses of the 'Turned' Lycan's, however in return he also must learn to master how own mutations and is currently young and unable to control them properly.
  • Superhuman Healing Factor: Tecumseh's primary mutant power is an accelerated healing process that enables him to regenerate damaged or destroyed tissue with far greater efficiency than an ordinary human. He can regenerate greatly damaged or destroyed tissue with few seconds, rendering him practically impossible to kill. He is capable of being able to fully heal from numerous gunshot wounds, severe burns covering most of his body, and regenerate missing eyes within a matter of seconds. Among the more extreme depictions of his accelerated healing factor involves him having his skin, muscles, and internal organs incinerated from his skeleton only to fully regenerate the tissue within minutes. This power even amends psychological wounds inflicted as a result of traumatic experiences. However, Tecumseh's healing powers force his mind to suppress the memories, sometimes resulting in amnesia.

  • Foreign Chemical/Disease Immunity: Tecumseh's natural healing also affords him the virtual immunity to poisons and most drugs, except in massive doses. For example, it is extremely difficult for him to become intoxicated from alcohol, and even doses of tranquilizers that can knock out a herd of elephants doesn't even make him stumble. Tecumseh's highly efficient immune system, which is part of his accelerated healing factor, renders him immune against all known Earthly diseases and infections as well as venoms, sickness, toxins, radiation, or any other form of poisoning to his system and body- even allowing him to breath poison gasses, smoke and the like without any harm to his body at all.

  • Superhuman Sensory: Tecumseh possesses superhumanly acute senses that are comparable to those of certain animals. He can see at far greater distances, with perfect clarity, than an ordinary human. He retains this same level of clarity even in near total darkness. His hearing is enhanced in a similar manner, allowing him to detect sounds ordinary humans couldn't hear at a greater distances, enough to hear a teardrop in another room that have thick walls with enough focus. He is able to recognize people and objects by scent, even if they are well hidden. He can track a target by scent, even if the scent has been greatly eroded by time and weather factors, with an extraordinary degree of success. Wolverine can also use his keen sense of smell to detect lies due to chemical changes within a person's scent.

  • Temperature Adaptation: Tecumseh's body is highly resistant to certain elemental extremes, particularly cold, to the extent that he can sleep nude in subarctic conditions with no apparent injury. His body is capable of rapidly changing its core temperature along with his incredible regenerative powers and rapid blood flow and advanced anatomy, allowing him to have an incredibly cool, or hot body temperature for whenever the situation calls for it, rendering him practically immune to intense cold and heat that would form naturally on earth as long as he stayed hydrated.

  • Advanced Brain Chemicals: Tecumseh possess a unique set of glands on the temple sides of his brain, allowing him to have a incredibly advanced chemical that can be released through his system on instinct. This chemical causes his brains functions to release a special Psionic shield of incredible power that cannot be controlled or altered, but quite simply renders him completely immune to Telepathic and Psionic energies and invasion- making him practically untouchable even by the most powerful telepathic mutants.

  • Enhanced Human Body: Tecumseh is as intelligent, strong, fast, agile, and durable as it was possible for a human being to be without being considered superhuman. He is capable of lifting up to one ton in weight (2000 lb's), run at speeds of up to approximately 30 miles per hour or higher, and can while under duress move at 50 miles per hour. As well his body eliminates the excessive build-up of fatigue-producing chemicals in his muscles, granting him exceptional endurance and lung capacity, allowing him to hold his breath for up to 35 minutes. He can exert himself at peak capacity for a hour without any rest and before showing any signs of fatigue.

  • Enhanced Human Reflexes: Tecumseh can coordinate his body with balance, flexibility, and dexterity that goes beyond even an Olympic gold medalist. He also has the ability to leap 150 feet out in a single bound and 20 feet into the air without a running start. As well, his reflexes border on superhuman level. His reaction speed is 15 miles per hour, which makes it possible for him to dodge gunfire even in point blank range from multiple gunners at the same time.

  • Enhanced Human Durability: His bones and muscles are denser and harder than normal, to the highest human potential, which makes him very durable compared to a normal human. He is durable enough to the point that if a person beats him with a thick wooden stick, the stick would eventually break and in the end even without his regenerative abilities he likely would show little discomfort. This level of durability is how he can also survive other forms of extensive punishment such as falls from several stories like when he landed on a car from 200 feet with no discomfort or need to use his regenerative abilities.

  • Animal Empathy: Tecumseh has the ability to sense the emotional state of animals on a basic level such as fear, anger, happiness or pain. He can even communicate with them to make the animal aware of his actions and or his intent through his emotions and telepathic images that are processed into the minds and feelings of the animals he connects to- he is especially able to connect however with Felines, Panthers in particular.

  • Sheathed Claws/Fangs: Tecumseh holds sheathed fangs and claws stored in his body, his nails that are shown are only the tops of the claws themselves, the nails curling inside the skin and sheathed in a special tissue lining on each fingertip connecting a extra tendon to each claw tip. When triggered these claws slide free from small slits in the tips of each finger practically impossible to see with the naked eye, revealing his long two inch long beast-like claws atop each finger and toe. These claws are incredibly dense much like his bones, slightly stronger then steel in comparison. Fangs as well are sheathed the same way in his gum line, when unsheathed his canine teeth all gain a second inch long and incredibly sharp canine tooth directly in-front of them granting him essentially eight canine teeth.

  • Lycanthropic Transformation: Tecumseh's core of all his powers being the descendant of the true Lycanthrop mutants, allowing all whoa re born to enter a form called their 'Spirit Animal' this is a form of pure instinct at first and must be meditated, communicated with, studied and trained in order to gain control over the form while it is activated. Otherwise it will only surge forth when immense amounts of adrenaline are triggered and the user with have no control of any form, this is not always a wolf but whatever the spirit animal of the individual is. In Tecumseh's case, this is a black Panther. When he enters this form he gains an incredibly superhuman boost in power, his durability doubling, his bones becoming even stronger then diamond as well as his claws and fangs, his sensory abilities also double, his reflexes reaching a hundred miles per hour, far beyond his normal. As well, his speed now able to easily reach a hundred miles an hour, or two hundred miles an hour when on an adrenaline rush. The final benefit being that his physical strength skyrockets, allowing him to be able to lift up to 40 tons in weight, or 80,000 Pounds, capable of using Tanks like baseball bats and similar feats.
Limitations: The limitations that Tecumseh has are much fewer then his actual mutation but they do in fact exist. Excluding any ability to train and control his mutation these are the limitations he will always have even after he has completely mastered his mutant abilities.
  • Limited Regeneration: Tecumseh's regenerative powers are not unlimited, they can regrow any organ, any tissue and lost muscle or limb, but they need nerve signals in order for this to work. This means that if he is decapitated and his head is not placed on his body within five minutes, he will die. If he is shot through the head and it damages the brain- he will loose memories, how much varying with the actual damage. So on so forth, his head is certainly his weak spot.

  • Mortal Body: Despite his mutation, Tecumseh is still human and mortal- he does not have an elongated life, nor does he have any ability to not be drowned, decapitated, having no oxygen, starving to death or being so dehydrated the body goes into shock and kills itself from lack of body fluid- despite being hard to kill, he can in fact be killed.

  • Silver/Gold Allergy: Because of the different composition of blood that pure Lycanthropes have, they are not so severely allergic that the touch of silver or gold will kill them- however it is an allergy and will cause their powers to be weakened. On Skin contact it will simply cause a rash and irritation, however should it be ingested or enter the bloodstream through a wound, the regeneration abilities of the Lycanthrope pure blood will be cut down by 10% efficiency until it is removed or works its way out of their system. The more silver or gold in them, the slower their regeneration drops.


ORIGIN STORY:

The birth of Tecumseh was one that would be considered a normal one, a normal life, a happy life. Born into a Native American reservation of the Shawnee tribe, he was raised in the normal style- being homeschooled by the tribes teachers, learning music, hunting, culture, cooking and more as he grey up- He led a fairly normal and everyday life, growing up learning about technology and the like, of history, math and such. However he never showed any interest in it, instead preferring to skip his lessons and run through the forest, ''talking'' to the forest as he put it. Running barefoot through the tree's talking with wolves and other animals that seemed to naturally accept him as their own, all animals in general seeming content to play or wrestle with the young boy without worry or fear, or violence and pain. It was as if he was playing with human friends but animals instead, something the tribe began to see as something much more then luck as it never stopped- he only seemed to grow closer to the world of nature.

Eventually this caught the tribes elder's eye and he began to take special interest in the boy, teaching him of the tribes history, of animals, medicines, herbology nad how to use the forest as a source for all your needs with a bit of hard word. Panther took to it like a fish to water, becoming a hunter, tracker and more- and even more notable, it became aparent he was no normal boy. At the age of twelve, he was capable of lifting immense weight that even some of the full grown men strugled to lift, he rarely ever suffered injuries of any sort nad never any severe injuries, even when falling off a three story window and landing on his shoulder the boy popped up as if nothing had happened and moved on without any damage of pain. The elders, unsure of what to make of the carefree, lazy and loving child decided to examine him closer one day- both scientifically and mystically and discovered the odity they had missed before.

Within his Genetic code, Tecumseh had something that was unknown in this day and age, he held the biological DNA of a Mutant, but not any Mutant but an ancient one- one of the first to form int he world that evolved from the Shawnee and Cherokee Tribes. The ancient people called them 'werewolves' despite the fact they were not always wolves, but any animal at all. A special Mutant class that was both based around Science and Mystic as the DNA came from a human father cursed by Gaea after slaughtering a family of bears for no reason but their heads, causing him to become a bear when he was unable to control himself. This eventually was altered as the curse bred with mutants down the family line, evolving into the new form that they now saw in this boy- he did not appear to change, however he possessed immense durability, strength- appeared to be able to commune with nature itself, and he even had sensory abilities that matched those of canines or greater.

However they had no idea that there was more to the boys powers then this, they did not worship him for they understood the science behind mutants as some of the world did currently- and also their own mystical heritage. They alos knew the boys heart and did not fear him, but instead tried to teach him just what he was- slowly they added it into his normal studies as he developed more and more, soon the boy turned sixteen, and on his birthday for the first time he was taken in the outside world off of the Reservation. He experienced the world for the first time, and the loss of it as well as pain. That day, a mugger attacked him and his father- his father knocked the mugger down- but he was not fast enough to stop the trigger being drawn. But Tecumseh was. He saw the bullet about to fire, and grabbed his father- yanking him with immense strength and placing himself between the gun and his father, the sound of the gun firing filled the air.

The sound of Tecumseh falling to his knee's as blood rolled from his mouth also came as he collapsed on top of his father who, in a panic began to try and apply pressure to stop the bleeding. It was no use however as the bullet had priced the boy through his heart- having slid between the ribs and shattered shrapnel through his insides. However, Tecumseh did not fear or cry, he simply smiled and told his father he was happy he had saved him. This lack of fear, total and absolute resignation to die happily knowing he had protected someone dear to him- such a pure act was rare in humanity. It drew the attention of the Elder God Gaea, who immediately knew he was a descendant of that ancient mutant who had been so heartless before, decades ago. She decided that she would gift this boy for his actions, that he had made up for his ancestors sins, and through her energy granted his mutation a extra leap- his wounds rapidly sealed, the holes in his organs destroyed the bullet pieces and sealed his wounds.

Tecumseh awakened a new man, a new mutant ... practically immortal in his ability to heal. Gaea increased his powers to a true pure Lycanthrope, increasing his already high strength and physical attributes, his reflexes and healing abilities, and with this gift left him with the simple message in his mind of 'Live as he Wished to Live'. He did just that for the next three years of his life, his father passed on naturally from age, his mother now widowed loved with him and he got a job to help care for himself and her- declining the option of the reservation giving him money, and instead deciding to earn it. Working as a Janitor he would begin to practice in the school, learning of the new sciences and like, solving problems secretly on boards when no one was looking and cleaning and simply living a normal life- having no idea how his world was soon to become completely upside down, and how soon his world would change- for the better, but always the worse comes first as is with the way of the world.
