[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4516176, member: 19675"] As I mentioned here:[url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/243413-alien-races-bizzarre-form-vs-vaguely-humanoid-form.html[/url] I have a supers PC based on Greg Bear's aliens from Anvil of Stars. My dude "Threadd" is a heavyworlder who looks like a thick, metallic ropy coil many hundreds of feet long (the millions of legs that exist along his body's length are so short and fine that they look more like a haze or halo around him). Instead of just going around looking like a vast mechanical snake or animate suspension bridge cable, he usually "piles" himself up into a vaguely humanoid shape, not unlike a T-1000 or Chain Golem. While not technically a superhero, his heavyworlder physique makes him more powerful than most Terrans, and as a moral sophont, he generally exerts himself for the greater good. "Powers" include minor shapechanging & multiple limbs (reflecting the way he twists and loops his body), super strength and toughness, resistance to pressure, radiation and acids, but his alien biochemistry makes him exceedingly vulnerable to electrical, heat, and other conventional energy attacks.
