++Application for Enrollment++
The Person
Name: Namor Mckenzie
Age: 94
Place of Birth: Out at sea in the middle of the Arctic Ocean
Applying too: None at this time.
In what capacity: N/A
Family: Leonard Mckenzie (father, deceased), Princess Fen (mother deceased)
Height: 6’2
Weight: 275 lbs
Appearance:
Distinguishing Features:Pointed ears, gills located behind the ears and vestigial feathered wings at his ankles.
Skills: Trained at the hand of the finest warriors and scholars Atlantis had to offer Namor is a master combatant and skilled in hand-to-hand combat on land and excels at underwater combat. He has extensive knowledge on marine life and can apparently speak almost every language of the surface world. While he is quite skilled at the use of Atlantean technology and machinery he is still trying to adapt to the equipment of the surface world.
Equipment: Namor’s costume is in fact a specially created Atlantean suit designed to draw additional mostiure from the air to help keep him hydrated. While the suit helps him resist the affects of dehydration while on the surface it is not a permanent solution and eventually Namor would require immersing himself in water periodically to remain at full strength and ability.
Personality: Namor was raised his entire life to be the ruler of Atlantis and he acts like it. He is full of pride, bravado and has been described by others as being as stubborn as a mule. Perhaps the quality that sticks out the most in people’s minds would be Namor’s temper. The Atlantean has a hellacious temper that he can lose rather quickly and once lit tends to go off like a powder keg. Being shown a lack of proper respect is typically the easiest way to raise his ire. Despite these many flaws Namor does have some redeeming points. He is fiercely loyal to those few people he trusts and considers to be his friends and will fight to death for them should it need be.

The Mutant
Codename: The Sub-Mariner
Mutant Abilities:
Human/Atlantean Physiology: The majority of Namor’s abilities stem from him being a hybrid of Atlanean and Human mutant.
Physiological Adaptation: Namor’s body is specifically adapted for life underwater. His blood possesses specialized circulation to withstand freezing temperatures and he is capable of seeing clearly even in the murkiest of waters. His physiology means that he can survive indefinitely underwater or on land.
Superhuman Strength: Namor possesses immense strength and is capable of lifting a max of 100 tons, allowing him to go toe to toe with some of the most powerful beings on the planet. His strength is based on his contact with water. The longer he is out of water the more is strength diminishes. Should he remain without rehydration for too long Namor’s strength would decrease to that of a normal human’s.
Superhuman Stamina: Namor’s body produces far fewer fatigue toxins then a normal human being. He is capable of fighting at peak performance for up to 24 hours before the toxins build up and begin to affect him. Namor’s stamina diminishes the longer he is out of water.
Superhuman Speed: Namor can run and move faster then the finest human athletes. He is at his fastest however when in the water as he has been known swim at over 100 mph.
Superhuman reflexes and agility: Namor’s agility, balance and body coordination are enhanced beyond the level of the best human athletes and he is capable of react at levels of super speed as demonstrated by his ability to catch supersonic weapons like missiles in midflight.
Superhuman Durability: Designed to withstand even the most intense pressure of deepest levels of the ocean. He is capable of receiving heavy impacts, extreme temperatures and pressure, high caliber bullets and powerful energy blasts without being injured. As with his other abilities the longer Namor remains out of water the more this diminishes
Aquatic Healing: Should he be injured Namor’s body can heal at an accelerated rate. This ability is at its peaks when he is immersed in water and weakens the longer he is out of water.
Amphibious Breathing: Due to gills behind his ears Namor can breathe underwater indefinitely. He is also capable of breathing on land without the use of a breathing aid.
Aquatic Telepathy: Namor can communicate telepathically with marine life and can sometimes persuade them to do his bidding.
Flight: Somehow due to his vestigial wings on his ankles Namore can fly through the air at somewhere around 150 MPH. While the wings are too small to support his flight they do have some impact on this ability since should they be ripped off Namor will be unable to fly without them.
Animal Mimicry (Aquatic Life): At times Namor has been shown the ability to mimic the characteristics of undersea creatures. Such abilities have been displayed like Sonar and Bio-Electricity generation. This ability works only sporadically at best.
Extended Longevity: The average Atlantean ages much slower then a human being and lives typically to the age of 120. Despite having already lived nine decades Namor is considered to be in his physical prime at the moment. It is uncertain how long he will live should he manage not to become killed in battle.
Weaknesses:
Water Dependency: Namor’s physiology is based primarily on the amount of hydration his body possesses. The longer Namor is out of water or should someone draw the water from him will diminish most of his physical abilities. The longer he is out of water the weaker he becomes. Should Namor have complete lack of contact with water in can prove fatal to him in approximately 7 days. Renewed expose to water can restore his abilities rapidly.
Extreme Heat: Namor is especially vulnerable to powerful heat based attacks since then can cause him to dehydrate rapidly and weaken him at an accelerated rate.
Pollution: Should Namor swim or be exposed to polluted water it can harm him and weaken his abilities until he is able to reach clean water again.
Namor is also vulnerable to telepathic abilities though not as much as the average person. Also his limited contact with the surface world puts him at a disadvantage when attempting to interact with human technology and cultures which often leads to frustration and fits of anger. Namor is also very strong willed and bull headed and tends to leap before he looks in most situations.
History:
In 1915 an expedition was sent to the Antarctic in search of vibranium. When his ship sank another expedition was sent out to try and recover the lost vibranium, the leader of that expedition was a man named Leonard Mckenzie. The team attempted to use explosives to blast apart chunks of ice that blocked their path. Little did they know they where directly above the lost city of Atlantis.
Sent to investigate the explosions was Princess Fen, only daughter of King Thakorr. Spending time together Fen and Leonard conceived a child together. However before Namor could be born soldiers from Atlantis attacked the ship, fearing the Princess had been captured. Everyone onboard with the exception of Princess Fen was killed and she returned home. Some time later she gave birth to Namor, the first hybrid and mutant of the Atlantean race.
Since his birth Namor was raised to become the future king of Atlantis and was raised and supervised day and night to be groomed into this role. His days where spent with classes and tutoring to strengthen his mind while his nights where spent fighting endless battles against his instructors to become a mighty warrior. It became obvious overtime that Namor was far greater then any other Atlantean before him as his strength and speed far exceeded those of any other in history. Despite his great strength and abilities King Thakorr was concerned about his welfare and was unwilling to risk the young man’s life before he was considered ready.
Because of this fear and overprotective nature when divers where discovered near Atlantis the King refused to allow Namor to investigate their actions. Instead the future king would remain beneath the surface of the oceans oblivious to the actions of the world above.
Not long ago it appeared that King Thakorr was nearing his death bed and that the prince of Atlantis would fulfill his destiny and become the ruler of the under water city. However one the day that Namor was to become king Atlantis was attacked by the forces of Apocalypse. Namor led the brave warriors of Atlantis against the tyrant’s forces and the battled valiantly but eventually the forces of Apocalypse proved to be too much. Despite his great strength Namor was rendered unconscious and apparently secreted out of the city before it finally fell. With Namor defeated that Atlanteans where slaughtered almost into extinction. When Namor finally awoke he discovered that his people had become an endangered species and in order to attempt to prevent total annihilation they have scattered themselves to the four corners of the ocean.
A king without a kingdom Namor has sworn vengeance on Apocalypse and his forces and has ventured to the surface and has made his presence known as he attempts to fight against Apocalypse and his minions anyway possible.
RP Sample: Namor waited deep beneath the ocean’s depths. Here within the reassuring embrace of the great water’s of the earth he almost felt like he could just forget about the troubles that occurred on the surface. The fact was that deep within the ocean’s depth there wasn’t a creature or person in existence that could catch or destroy him down there. Within these depths he could truly be free. However deep in his heart Namor knew he could not do such a thing. If he did then the massacre of Atlantis would go unanswered, the vengeance he had sworn on Apocalypse would never be realized and the thousands of innocent women and children that where murdered for no reason would never know peace.
His perfectly adapted eyes peered up from the murky depths and pierced the veil that separated him from the world above. Flying barely above the water a flotilla of Apocalypse’s forces traveled across open waters. It appeared to be a supply convoy of some sorts. The Prince of Atlantis, since he had never truly become King that day, gritted his teeth as he felt the rage begin to build within him.
The arrogance of Apocalypse shall be his downfall. he thought to himself. He thinks the seas a safe way to sends his supplies, he believes the water a more secure highway then sending his forces over land. Well he shall learn differently. With a thought Namor’s muscles flexed as he surged forward. The aquatic life around him barely registered his presence as if he was merely just a blur, a man sized torpedo tearing through the water.
Namor angled himself so that he broke through the surface of the water near a rather large transport. Steel and metal parted like paper as he tore through the hull like it was barely there. Fueled by his anger Namor practically ripped the ship in two as he flew directly through it. Bursting outwards he saw Sentinels turn and focus their optical sensors on him. A roar of pure anger and rage burst free from his lungs as he turned to face the metal titans,
“COME NOW YOU SOULESS BEASTS! COME NOW AND FACE THE FURY OF ATLANTIS!” Racing forward through the air Namor brought back a fist as he approached the first of the gigantic robots. “IMPERIUS REX!” he bellowed his battle cry as combat began.
