Description Sludd is a walking pile of sewer waste, animated into a crude humanoid form by the disembodied mind of a young empath. Forced out of his true identity by the betrayal of his former mentor, and emboldened by an inadvertently selfless act in stopping a mugging, he operates as a hero (or so he wants to believe) from the safety of the City's underground tunnels-- all the while dealing with his loss of humanity and gain of new, untold potentials.

EDIT: Inspired by how the recent Wheelman reference sheet update went, this is now in line with that submission's presentation.

Funnily enough, I think there only one or two times where I've actually been able to explore such an interaction... One of my favorite RP's I've ever been able to do. I'm sooooo behind writing out a hard copy though-- I'm long in the process of adapting a more narrative version.

I have enough freakish heroes that they usually find a loving family/team before being in such interactions.

one of them might need to tell Sludd their secret for success, since he's sort of in that "forever alone" stage

*whistles* HEY BONEFACE! 

*for a moment, you think a near adult Robin the Teen Wonder is swinging down, until you see his face, gauntly white, with no hair, no nose, nor ears, and barely a slit for a mouth.  When he speaks, it's with the kind of voice you'd want to make a bed out of to fall asleep in, like Chris Hemsworth or Morgan Freeman.*

Oh, Sludd. You're a big one. Welcome to the City of Blackwater, where we like our heroes a lot bent.

*takes off glove and extends it for a handshake.* Don't worry, Sludd. I'm a non-powered superhero. We end up spending a third of our time crawling through sewage.

He looks great, man you couldnt pay me enough if I was a melee type to fight a guy made out of sewage!

Looking good! I like how he expands but his head doesn't. Although I imagine when he shrinks (degasses?) it could be pretty toxic...

The other thing is that I imagine his anatomy can really be left up to interpretation, since as an elemental he can do some pretty strange things with his body. (Artists take note~!)

What's funny is that I just picked up the "Toxic" vanity title in CO (for dealing a certain amount of Poison damage) just yesterday. So guess what he's using~

When he bulks up, though, it's usually just solid waste matter gathered from his surroundings and not gas. ... Actually, now I think about it, Sludd might have some subconscious information from that first RP concept I made in CoH back when I got into the scene on Virtue in addition to the one I do know of.

I'd link you his wiki page but there's some issues around that at the moment. :<
