Alias: Panty Muncher, Oh God not You!
Occupation: Information Trader/Broker
Cheerful, Upbeat and friendly Mosura is very social, and happy to meet new people. He often lacks a full understanding of boundaries and personal space though its never with ill intent as he lacks full understanding of the world he was born into. He's naturally curious, and inquisitive and his moral compass is grey at best. Having been grown in a lab, he simply was never taught about such mundane ideas and it was never meant to be part of his over all program. Deep down Mosura just wants a place to belong, to call home and people he can call friend! often times even if they don't want him around! He can be loyal, helpful and protective of those he claims as friends or family! and quite terrifying when he chooses to employ his gifts!
Insect Traits: As an insect, Mosura shares many common traits with other insectoids. Such as sticking to surfaces, enhanced physical strength and agility, and a tough durable body do to an internal carapace like shell under his skin.
Flight: do to his wings Mosura can fly and is quite nimble in the air despite how clumsy he can sometimes appear while flying. make no mistake should he wish to he can reach near mach 1 with relative ease and perhaps exceed it with effort.
Toxic Cloud: By flapping his wings he can release special mist or powder from his wings. This powder is a poison that when inhaled causes organic creatures to fall into a coma like sleep. This was given to Mosura expressly to capture and detain escapee's from his creators lab.
Moth Silk: Like all moths Mosura can create special Silk, specifically from special spinners in his hands, allowing his to create rope like strands. He can use these to tie up, bind or otherwise disable an enemy. This silk has the same tensile strength of spider silk, only much larger and stronger do to the size.
Replication: Mosura's most potent ability allows him to fully replicate a copy of himself. Each Copy is still part of Mosura biologically, and yet fully independent free thinkers. This often causes them to argue amongst one another or end up in an endless bout of telling each other bad jokes! However, Each copy of Mosura splits his over all mass by 2, reducing his height and size by a percentage. More copies he creates smaller, and smaller he becomes. If a copy is destroyed Mosura loses a portion of his mass for a time until it can be regenerated.
Regeneration: As his replication often results in the loss of his mass, his creator had the foresight to gift him with the ability to regenerate. He can restore lost mass at a slow rate of about 24-48 hours per clone that is destroyed. He can also regrow lost limbs, organs, and other damaged cells in around the same peroid of time. This also results in a very hyperactive healing factor though not unkillable putting Mosura down for good has proven to be quite difficult as even a single copy surviving can allow him to fully restore himself given enough time.
To understand Mosura one has to first understand the mad man who created him. Doctor Tiberius Nexus, was once reputed to be the smartest man in his world. Yet he was never satisfied with that title. Always pushing himself, always trying to break new ground! But his specialty? Genetic Modification, he believed that nature could only reach so far before it reached a plateau and the only way forward was to push it further! by force!
Thus Nexus began his long career of violence, and evolutionary excellence by manipulating genetic codes. At first this was simply modifying what already existed. Yet that didn't last long as he began a new method of genetic excellence---creating his own species. By mixing and matching genes he could in theory create a perfect utopia! ultimate life forms, given shape and form!
And what was more perfect then an insect! While he tried many times to create his own genetic abominations. His first real success came in the form of the ants who would become his back bone, his workers, his soldiers. Yet what he considered to be the first true success, that which pushed his work to its limit--- Mosura. A genetically modified moth, designed with an express purpose! Capture, and disable any of his subjects that got away...
Yet Mosura didn't take to his programming as well as Nexus had hoped. There was always a sense of rebelliousness to him! despite his loyalty and adoration to the doctor! he had a near insatiable urge to eat cloth, of all kinds. He gave them tastes and labels! and while annoying of course it was far from disqualifying!
That was until... Mosura decided to snack on Nexus's favorite drapes! they were quite rare, you see and! completed the Fung Shui of his whole room! it helped him think and finish his works! seeing his favorite drapes being eatten! Nexus flew into a rage! swearing he'd see Mosura killed! and even trying to do just that! the fit of rage scared the poor moth so badly he fled from home! hoping to return and yet! to scared to ever consider it...
Since that day Mosura has wandered the world at large, trying to survive in a place he was never meant to be. Learning about the world he found himself in and wishing his father would forgive him...
And secretly wishing for the day he could taste such delicious drapes yet again!
