Spoiler: click to toggle

Standing at 6'0 with a fairly athletic build, blue eye color, little standout facial features and shoulder length black hair tied into a ponytail. Has a large Bio-Mechanical Monster limb replacing his left arm.

In casual situations usually prefers to wear simple, easy to maintain, and comfortable clothing that can fit his arm, such as grey sweatshirts or slacks. Sometime, however, if distracted enough, will simply continue to wear his school uniform.

Said school uniform, a jacket and tie combination, is less comfortable than Emmet would prefer, and doesn't help as much with his arm, but is still the most he was willing to settle for.

Emmet's Mechamorphic Arm in it's natural state has two distinct halves, a top and a bottom. The top half, from his shoulders to the tips of his fingers, is completely black, covered in green circuit like patterns. The bottom half, stretching from his finger tips to his armpit, is completely white.

In general, the arm portion is only slightly larger than Emmet's actual arm width and length wise. The hand portion, however, is also larger than Emmet's actual hand (around three times it's size), though it shares some basic features with it. Only four fingers are sighted on the hand, and each of those fingers (Excluding the thumb) could easily touch Emmet's foot.

Personality Description:

Emmet has always liked to believe in the ideal of being a serious, honest, straightforward, generally affable and kind person. The fulfillment of this ideal has at many points in his life proved difficult, as even from the the early years of his life Emmet has been awkward and nervous. As well, sarcasm, deceit, and extreme emotions are often difficult, and even impossible at times, temptations to resist.

Emmet is fairly intelligent, perhaps somewhat more so than the average person. However, it would be easy to classify him as 'Spacey.' Sometimes time just slips away, sounds become white noise, test answers become doodles on the side of the page. Sometimes, focus can just...slip away. Though in most serious circumstances Emmet can be counted on to keep focus, and even with his massive improvements in focus over the years, this fugue state is still common enough to be notable.

A lover of the natural beauty of the world, Emmet and his camera have become inseparable, always subconsciously on the lookout for a new wonder of the world to record. Some of the happiest moments of his life have just been recording things, after all. Despite this determination to record the world, however, Emmet still has a love for mystery, the rush of an adventure, and the wistful memories of his past sometimes catch up with him.

Most of the time, Emmet would prefer to stay behind his lens, try to talk himself out of problems, combat or not. If the situation is dire enough, however, his instincts might take over, and he himself might rush into trouble, warranted or not.

Personal History:

Emmet Royce Pratt, born in Washington, America, was the child of a troubled, and later unremarkable family. His original mother had divorced his father when he himself was only age three, and his new step-Mother, a kindly Japanese women, took extra care to be as gentle as possible with him. He grew up well, raised with discipline and kindness in equal measure.

Even from an early age, Emmet showed an affinity for art and the wonders of the earth, and was frustrated with his inability to capture the beauty of it in his own desired way. He attempted to draw, mimicking the world to a still, but his mediocre work left him wanting. Next, he came to photography, taking snapshots of the world as he could find them. At first, this seemed to sate him, but soon Emmet began to grow dissatisfied once more. He didn't want to just capture a single instance. He wanted to be able to look back, to see the world in full motion as it had been, the moments and sights and sounds recorded! He quickly found his answer, as, for his thirteenth birthday, he was granted a new recording camera.

It scratched that itch, that seemingly impossible wish, an answer to his problems. he spent as much time as he could recording, always on the hunt for something new to admire. This trait, coupled with Emmet's own worries of drifting to far way from the rest of the world, led to his recruitment into a new club at his local school, a group dedicated to finding and solving mysteries, calling themselves the 'Query Hounds' for lack of a better name.

As a member of the group, Emmet was fairly passive, though his recordings often proved valuable in solving cases. He would often be in the far back in group-shots, or the last to be thanked, if thanked at all. This didn't really concern him, however, as he was happy just to have an anchor back to the world, and to the people who inhabited it.

The Query Hound mostly solved mundane mysteries, people in costumes trying to spook others for one reason or the next. They were, for this reason, something of the local town heroes. Outside of their hometown, however, they were relatively unknown. At first, this bothered them little, Emmet none at all, but soon they decided they would at least attempt to find their way into popularity.

They unofficially took on a case, a somewhat high profile affair related to an abandoned mountain town and a strange monster that had been witnessed in it. Neither Emmet nor any of his companions believed this was anything more than a hoax, and the warnings of the nearby city locals did little to halt their investigation. They searched throughout the ghost town, and after several close calls had finally cornered the culprit, a small puddle of strangely hued goop.

At first, none of the Query Hounds were willing to get close to the puddle, but eventually, their leader, Alistair, decided to attempt to capture it using a vacuum cleaner. This was all the puddle needed, and as soon as Alistair touched it with the nozzle, it jumped on it and him, quickly enveloping both whole. It wasn't more than a minute later that a grotesque monster stood in his place, and a chase began.

Emmet had hurried back towards the town as his friends scattered about the woods. He would never see them again. The monster seemed to deem him least important at the time, deciding to chase him last, preoccupied with his friends, but even with the brief time given to him, all Emmet could truly do was hide. By the time the monster finally discovered him, it seemed almost tired, presumably having close to fully used up it's host, but it was still strong enough to easily throw entire cars. It chased Emmet to the town's local power plant.

Both parties were nearly burnt out, the chase ending with the quick removal of the whole of Emmet's left arm via car. With the last of it's strength, the monster smashed Emmet's camera, shoving the broken remains into his arm stump, and, as it's psychical host finally expired fully, began to envelope Emmet, using it as a medium. What transpired next, Emmet can never truly recall, though it most likely involved him panicing, smashing into everything in sight in desperation as a monster crawled over his face.

When he awoke, Emmet was intensive care, having been found submerged in partially electrified water in the ruins of an abandoned town. He'd been checked in for over a week, as the doctors had called in scientists as they had puzzled over the strange substance that had replaced his arm. Whatever it was, they had surmised, it wasn't natural, and it had kept Emmet alive despite massive blood and limb loss.

After a time of psychical healing and tests to help see what the arm was capable of, Emmet was allowed to go back to his hometown and his family to prevent a complete mental breakdown, though the mistrust and fear his new arm was initially given didn't help him any. Emmet was given a new camera and many visits to a psychologist, his missing friends searched for and mourned.

It was decided that Emmet would be going to a new school for people like him, and after several called in favors and connections by his mother, Emmet and his family traveled to Japan. There, he would be going to a Hyakuji High School. And there, Emmet decided privately, he would try to keep under the radar, and just simply admire nature once more in a calm, safe place for people like him and his new horrible techno organic monster arm.

Welcome to Hyakuji, and I shall be reviewing your profile submission!

The profile looks good to go, but I would like to point out that superhuman strength in the arms alone will not allow a character to lift exceptionally heavy loads, especially considering that the rest of Emmett is still a normal human. It's all physics and biology coming into play.

Unless his spine and lower body have also been reinforced beyond the limits of human ability, trying to lift any weights beyond what his muscle and skeletal structure can support is likely to result in strained muscle, torn tendons or even broken bones or dislocations.

That being said, other superhuman feats such as hitting hard and crushing objects with ease are within the acceptable limits of a starting character, so your profile will be ready for roleplays once you get the above details worked out, thanks.
