If this is okay then here is a character idea that I have for this RP.
Name: Gunner Parker AKA Clone Kid AKA many other names that he has taken up
Age and Gender: 26, Male
Appearance: A white male who will wear any clothing that fits and does not impede his mobility. He is 5'11'' and 155lbs(70kg) with brown eyes and brown hair although slight changes can occur. He has a lean, and mildly athletic appearance. How long his hair and nails are depends on the situation, sometimes he will let his beard and hair grow very long but other times he will shave once a day. He can be seen drinking milk and avoiding smokers, coffee, tea, and alcohol drinkers, and drug users because of his personal revulsion towards the substances.
Personality: Gunner is a opportunistic man who lives in the heat of the moment. He understands his limits perfectly well but struggles at understanding other people until it is too late. He is a college dropout but his powers have enabled him to adapt his career from time to time. He is manipulative and always has ulterior motives of some sort when he works with others. His powers have caused him to have a sort of multiple personality disorder while at the same time being able to come up with clever plans and improvise successfully when the plans go awry. His biggest pitfalls are his greed, craziness, and arrogance. He is naturally suspicious because he has a history of crime which prevents Gunner from getting into relationships or even flirting since he does not know who he can trust.
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral (depending on multiple factors such as money and his current emotional state)
Biography: Gunner was born to Martha (a female zoologist) and Percival Parker (a male botanist) in a London hospital. His powers first manifested at birth but luckily his parents did not freak out although the same cannot be said of the medical personnel. His birth was traumatic for Martha because the babies would not stop coming out until there ended up being 10 baby Gunners and then suddenly they all merged into baby Gunner. After being evicted from the hospital an hour after the first baby procedures were done, the family moved from London out to the British countryside where they bought a plot of land and started farming. The parents were successful in their efforts to farm and quickly started teaching Gunner how to farm at the age of 6 after he started going to a nearby remote primary school. He turned out to be a quick learner and by the age of 10 was using his abilities to help maintain the farm while he was at school. Luckily for Gunner there were nearby schools and the "neighbors" were very tolerant of the newcomers. His mother had worked in an industrial plant while she was going to college and the bad air caused her to develop health problems which quickly caught up once the farm life had begun. The long term effects of the air also helped Gunner mutate while he was in the womb. At school Gunner struggled and was held back 5 times between primary school and the British equivalent of high school graduation which happened for him at the age of 23. Until the age of 8 he was a frequent victim of bullying because until that time he was small and had not been able to control his abilities very well. Beginning at that point, Gunner trained in gymnastics, and swimming which along with the farming helped shape his body but he could not keep up the sports because of his grades. He continued to practice on his own time and tried for the Olympics when he graduated but was rejected. This angered him because he thought he was the best candidate for the team. He eventually decided to go to college and started off by applying to Oxford and similar universities (which were just as quickly rejecting him because of his grades) until he was forced to settle for a tiny community college. He failed all but one of the classes that he took: theater. He dropped out of college in the winter of his 25th year. He spent the season helping out at the farm until one day some old classmates visited and brought guns. They got drunk and killed his parents while he was out in the fields. This caused Gunner to "lose it" and while the drunk classmates were still passed out he killed and mutilated their dead bodies before sending the body parts as a message to the universities and gymnastics coach to say "see what you did". He then left the farm and started living as a fugitive until he decided to move to the US. He killed a fisher and used his boat to illegally sail to Quebec. From there he travelled south until he got a visa from the US and started living there. He had changed his name and appearance before he left Britain to a tan skinned, blue eyed, black haired appearance known as Jean Baptiste. Gunner is still wanted to this day but Jean has made a life for himself as a D list stage actor based out of Washington DC. He is an official "illegal immigrant" because he fooled the American border patrol with bogus Canadian ID which was just his old UK ID with an edited appearance. He amassed a fortune by using unique clones to steal from other people and also covertly using the clones in his theater and gymnastics activities. He has gotten into trouble at times in the US but was always able to get away using his clones. Gunner has since been ordered extradition by the UK but the US has not yet figured out who Gunner is. This also makes him a wanted criminal.
Powers: Self duplication (via his thoughts [controlled or uncontrolled] with the rate being about ten clones per second), duplicate absorption (and with that absorption comes knowledge, skills, and memories although his memory does have its limits. He also automatically absorbs from clones that commit suicide.), Healing (if the main form is injured and he absorbs an uninjured clone he is healed albeit with the pain from the injury still with him. This also works vice versa with injured clones.), he can communicate with his clones and feel what they are feeling although he is unable to actually control them (this can cause some interesting experiences), minor appearance changes (this requires a large amount of concentration involving the creation of a clone with whatever the change is. Purely cosmetic changes only and he after doing this he has to rest for at least ten minutes.), and unnaturally high pain tolerance.
The maximum amount of clones at any one time is 100 when he is in good shape. If he is hurt he can only handle around 60 clones until the clones start inadvertently falling unconscious. The main Gunner can work with the clones to enable him to climb to high places by forming ladders and then climbing the clones along with other supported actions. Gunner himself is in good condition without any scars or diseases. He can run 8 minute miles and has minor parkour skill but very good climbing ability and extremely good balance and agility.(as required by his gymnastics and swimming) He can also run and swim marathon distances if necessary. That requires preparation though.
