Personality: Ari is a rather laid back person as he has no real responsibilities in life, if there is an easy way to go he will take it right off the bat though he will take the hard route if it is absolutely necessary to do so. He has no real alliance towards heroes, villains, humans, or anyone really as he feels it doesn't involve him and even if it does he tries to avoid taking sides because he feels that if he chooses one side over another then he will have to deal with them as enemies. He is so laid back that he is willing to use his abilities in front of others without the use of a costume to hide his identity. even his mutant name is hardly something to keep him hidden from others. Though his carefree attitude is just one layer of Ari which is what most will see almost always, as he is a trickster confusing those around him as best he can before skipping away to avoid confrontation.

While being quite carefree there are still times when Ari shows his mature wise side though it is often when giving others advice rather than taking his own advice, logically there are many things he should care about but he still doesn't. When it comes to fighting Ari will often treat it like a game rather than acting as if he could actually die, it is how he deals with overly violent situations instead of accepting the reality that he could die in the process. Though don't let his childlike way of thinking fool you as Ari can be quite vicious when push comes to shove, due to his constant suppression of negative emotions when Ari does become angry/violent often he goes all out attempting to kill his opponent in an instinctive way of fighting.

Anger is almost never shown though as Ari finds getting angry at anything to be rather tedious or annoying because there is always something to be angry with but if you acknowledge it every time then you are always angry. He keeps himself in a happy mood as best he can even when told to do something he doesn't want to do, often when given an order Ari will simply ignore the person and go do whatever he feels like doing which is why he has never worked well in a team of any kind. Ari has no desire to control anyone or anything except himself as he dislikes the pressure of having something possibly going wrong with him in charge of something so he steers clear of responsibilities likes that as much as he can.

History: Ari's time on this earth has been rather unique when compared to most, as a child he did not know the comfort of a family or friends, this was out of choice though. Before he could fend for himself he was raised in an orphanage, the people there had no idea where his parents were or who they might be. Ari also had no idea but he honestly never cared since he never knew them there was no sentimental attachment, by the time he was five he could fend for himself and he had grown bored with the orphanage. So he just packed up some clothing and a bit of food before disappearing, he wanted excitement and adventure instead of being constantly stuck inside of a run down building with a bunch of other kids.

He traveled from town to town stealing food for the most part as he was a little smarter at shoplifting than most kids even if they were twice his age or more, he knew that the doorway scanners never went off unless a person tried to take more than twenty fives dollars worth of food out at a time. So he would grab a few things and wait for a woman to walk towards the door and walk out with her looking oh so cute and innocent as he carried out his stolen food. This worked for years and years as he grew up on the streets learning what he could whenever he could, he learned all the basics of what he needed to know to survive on the streets, eventually he decided to settle down in a city as he realized that he was bored of walking around all the time.

Problem was he had no idea how to afford a house or an apartment as he usually just slept outside or in an abandoned place, so then came the concept of earning money which was as foreign to him as it was for a blind person to see. While trying to get a job the thirteen year old Ari was introduced to something that he had never encountered before and that was fighting, while trying to find a place to sleep three guys jumped him for the hell of it one night. If it had been a normal person that they jumped who knows what would have happened but unfortunately for them they jumped Ari the latent mutant, as he felt himself being beaten into the concrete animal instincts seemed to kick in and Ari struck out at full force at one of the attackers ribs.

The punch should have done nothing but the sickening crack of bone could be heard in the near silence of the night and Ari's attacker fell to the ground gasping for air as several of his ribs had been broken by the punch. Without even realizing it Ari had become the concrete which he had been on just seconds ago, his skin a rough grey color and he could feel himself much heavier than before amazingly. With one down the other two grabbed the gasping attacker and high tailed it out of there without realizing that they had just encountered a mutant due to the darkness of the night. With his ability discovered Ari found that he could transform into multiple different things and he learned his limits within days of trying, with nothing else to do he honed his ability to the best of his abilities.

Now as a teenager with a super power he still needed money to stay in a place and after discovering what he could do he decided to learn how to fight, at first it was little things like taking a book on boxing just to learn the moves and what not. Training consisted of doing the same moves over and over while changing into different forms to see which would do the best, the problem with his ability was that there was no hiding it once it was activated so he couldn't use it while in the underground rings. So over time he got used to fighting as a normal person using more techniques rather than trying to over power them, a fight here and there paid for the okay little apartment that he managed to get under a fake name. As he got more used to the underground world of the city the more people got used to him, several people learned of his fighting prowess so he got hired a couple of times to be extra muscle.

But as he got older he found that there was no reason for him to risk his life for some else even if he could probably protect himself easily there was no reason to do so for some extra cash. Instead he began forming his own fights with more violence, in his fights it was no limits on what you could do, headbutts, groin shots, eye gouges, everything was legal and it drew in big crowds especially when he would fight because they wanted to see him get hurt. Too bad for them that Ari had grown up fighting like this so he was among the best even without using his mutant powers, with his own fights going every now and then Ari has never wanted for anything though he has felt the lack of excitement since this has begun his way of life.

Powers: Ari's primary ability is adapting to his surroundings to hide himself almost like a chameleon, his camouflage is near perfect though with the right set of eyes one can still find him if they look hard enough. Though that is only one of the abilities Ari possess as his secondary ability is taking on the characteristics of whatever he is blending himself to look like, it doesn't work on things like air or fire but solid objects like rocks, metal, wood, even glass it does. For example if Ari were to blend himself into say a concrete wall he would now have the same durability and hardness that concrete has, with this his durability is quite good but it gets even better if he uses it against metal like steel as he will have the same hardness as the metal. Ari's ability allows only one camouflage with special characteristics at a time, so he cannot combine the hardness of metal with the stretchiness of rubber, and he cannot just change at will he must come into contact with the substance first.

Example 1: If Ari were to touch a tree his body and clothing would instantly transform into the shape of the tree bark if he is at the bottom, even the texture of his skin and clothing will feel like the bark of the tree. If he is within the leaves then he will change into the color and texture of the leaves, a down side of this is that while he inherits the wood's hardness and texture he also inherits it's weakness against fire making him burn much easier.

Example 2: If Ari were to touch a rock again his body and clothing would turn to the same color and feel exactly the same as the rock, his body also takes on the hardness of said rock. If he touches a diamond then his body can become diamond, if he touches a quartz crystal the same thing will happen this does not work with sand as sand is made up of individual grains of sand instead of being solid.

Example 3: If Ari were to touch something rubber his body would take on the texture and color while gaining all of it's characteristics, the ability to stretch his body out, resistance to electricity, resistance to blunt force trauma etc etc. Now with this also comes the weakness to ice and fire as both can damage rubber quite easily, ice can freeze and crack him in this form and fire can literally melt his body if he is hit directly.

Example 4: If Ari were to touch steel or some other kind of metal he would change to it's color and texture along with it's hardness, Ari however cannot change his body into blades just because he has touched the metal he only takes the color, texture, and hardness of the metal. With this comes the weakness against electricity depending on the metal that he has used, due to most metals being quite conductive a direct strike with lightning could fry Ari's insides even if his body is intact.

These are just some examples they aren't the only thing he can use to his advantage.

Ari is a rather innocent looking young man though don't let those looks fool you, he stands at six foot one and appears to be rather skinny though that is simple deceptions as well. His body is rather lean and athletic instead of being overly muscular like someone who builds muscles up all the time, with clothing on one can hardly tell his body is toned up quite nicely, without the clothing on it is quite hard to think he is skinny. His eyes are a deep green but bright at the same time seeming to stare through anybody he looks at, his hair a caramel brown and messy most of the time as he hardly ever bothers to comb it. He is often seen wearing jeans, with light shirts and surprisingly a pair of flip flops instead of normal shoes as he has no real need for them since he can simply touch the ground and become just as hard as it.

Roleplay Sample: In the harsh land of Prussia if one were to listen closely they might hear a voice in the air but it was merely the wind that howled through the air. With an icy touch the wind seemed to cut through whatever clothing one might wear to protect themselves from the cold of the land. The frozen forest groaned as the wind raged through the area shaking trees and causing the snow to fall from their icy leaves. The air was alight with a shower of white powder as it fell from the leaves slowly, the air was heavy as the coldness seemed to press down into the earth from above, the eerie silence made the forest seem all the more fake. It was like a spell that had stopped time had been cast on the forest now as there was no wind to move the groaning trees everything was as still as a statue it was like a forest carved from rock. Just on the edge of the frozen forest there laid a small mountain more of a big hill some would say, but this small hill had proof of how cold it could get in the harsh land of Prussia. The hill was home to a forty foot waterfall that had frozen in place the water had frozen on the side of the hill forming spikes that seemed poised to fall down in a rain of spikes should something move them. The frozen spikes went all the way to the ground where the waterfall would have fallen into a large creek if it had not been frozen. The large creek of course was also frozen in place the ice had even taken the shape of the waves that rippled through the creek when it was still active.

It was towards the setting of the sun that this magical forest seemed to become even more magical then it was already. As the sun set the last rays of light hit the snow covered forest and radiated brightly throughout the ice crystals sending the dark red light in every direction possible. The pure white snow seemed to become the color of the sun as it shined brightly, it was like this was a forest that belonged in the heavens. The sun slowly sank behind the true mountains of Prussia as the red moon came up from its slumber the light within the forest seemed to die leaving it empty once more.

The magic that the standstill forest seemed to have disappeared as quickly as it could be seen as the howling wind returned to cut its way through the forest. It was now as the wind howled and the trees began their groaning once more that a slight crunching noise could be heard, as the snow fell from the leaves once more and the rain of white powder fell he came. Walking calmly through the snow in his bare feet oddly enough like he didn’t feel the cold of the snow and wind Tsuna walked into the forest and towards the frozen waterfall. The white snow made it seem like Tsuna himself had a tan even with his pale skin it would never compare to the color of this snow he knew, his long dark brown hair hung past his shoulders and almost to his hips seemed stiff due to the cold. Each breath he took was accompanied by a puff of air that could be seen easily due to the unrelenting cold clashing with his hot breath. His only protection against the cold would seem like madness to others he was wearing a Chinese imperial robe, it was a dark green color with gold lacing running around it’s edges. His pants were mere cotton the color was pitch black they were kung fu pants often meant for martial arts training. But he wore them as his everyday pants as they suited his needs and he must admit they were quite comfortable to wear, his dark brown hair covered his left eye as always hiding its dark blue almost purple color. His right eye however was not covered and was a completely different color, it was a light dark green like the leaves on a tree in the spring time when seen together it was quite hard to look him in the eyes.
