The Grand OC SII: The Re-OCening: Week 29: UNINTELLIGIBLE!
RE: The Grand OC SII: The Re-OCening: Week 18: PARTY!
Username: Someone beat me to my usual username so I'll go with Scout
Name: Devril Harald
Race: Offense+Defense hybrid
Gender: Male
Color: Time... to level... the field.

Description: Devril is a sharp-featured French man with an Incursor Cell grafting itself between his shoulder blades. It looks vaguely insectoid and the skin it's lying under is translucent, letting a ghastly neon-teal glow through. Similar-colored striations, raising the skin like cords or mismatched muscles, work their way down his arms and back, and up onto his neck and face. His fingers only seem to bend at the knuckles, and the glow in the palm of his hands flickers with pattern almost like a language.

He's an extremely rare case of an Incursor Cell remaining viable out of storage or grafted to a more typical host, and various governments' attempts to study him to better-understand the enemy have left him suspicious of authority and rather hostile to anyone too curious about how his powers work. With his powers' restrictions reducing to him one surprise hit at close range, and ranged attacks too slow to catch a one-on-one opponent out, Devril's at his smoothest in chaotic situations with a lot of bodies flying and a decent amount of backup. For Devril, being alone is worse than being with people he doesn't trust.

Items/Abilities: Devril's primary weapon is the ever-charging explosive energy of his Incursor Cell; anything he grabs is blasted sharply away. Without a target to grab, however, the Cell charges until Devril's arms "lock" in position and he's forced to transfer catastrophic amounts of energy in the from of straight lines burned into the ground ahead of him. Devril can sense these power spikes and position his hands so the divisions take a tactically advantageous form, to either hem enemies in with close-combat allies or granting a team-mate breathing room. Once the "lock" initiates, it takes a couple of seconds for his aim to stabilise, which often forces him to perform his battlefield role out of the enemy's easiest lines of sight.

Devril's power is especially effective against vertical defensive surfaces, though the destructive+electrocuting effects last longer when cast on the ground. Because the energy is less launched from his palms and more that his Cell-grafted arms are like antennae, the shape of terrestrial scars to come can be figured out by a smart opponent by watching his hand position.

Biography: The lone survivor of an Incursor attack on his region, Devril is on a quest for answers about the alien power he can barely control.

Born and raised on a farm in Provence, Devril only survived the attack by grabbing an Incursor Cell from a crashed pod and letting it graft itself to his own nervous system. The Cell somehow took, and masked his bio-signature enough to spare him from the mass-roundup of humans. He's since been on the run, seeking out anyone he can trust to watch his back and join him in the fight against the Incursors
