History: David was born to two young parents who weren't really ready for the responsibility of a child, they did their best, but he just fell into the wrong crowd, David was always out on the streets, where his mind and fists could work their magic, he ruled the small neighborhood he called home, dealing with drugs and crime heavily, after an eventual screw up and with his old gang turned against him after a drug deal gone bust he decided to hop over to another city, start fresh, clean, but he quickly found out that money was hard to come by when you weren't trying to get your hands dirty, he dealt drugs occasionally, but that just didn't pay the bills, the day his life changed was when he got a letter in the mail telling him he could win a great deal of money participating in a game, he was about to throw it away as a hoax when one point caught his eye in the fine print, it said: Furthermore, We Are Unable To Guarantee The Safety Of The Participants In The Slightest. He turned in his entry card and in a few days a summons came, he went. He learned it6 was something called a Biz Game, dog-fights large companies conduct in secret, they fight in three on three teams consisting of home and away, if your home, you protect a disk containing information on the company, if your away, you get the disk, your the victor, but this one was unlike any other, because, in this Biz game, their was no winner. After David and his team won they were shuffled into a laboratory where they were experimented on, apparently a private research firm was interested in their "talents" unfortunately his teammates didn't survive the operation, they were testing various gene therapies on his teammates, he only knows one suffered a massive heart attack, the others skin disintegrated while he was still alive, but he was subject to testing on an unknown biological substance, a parasitic goo that they had contained for study, the parasite had been lying dormant for ages, despite the poking and prodding provided by the scientists, but something within David stirred it from its slumber.... unfortunately, it slaughtered the scientists and escaped the facility, leaving David on the run. The organism has no loyalties, no real intelligence to speak of, it is an animal, pure and simple, but it was an efficient animal, it bonds itself to its host and gives the host abilities far beyond that which it would normally have, but every so often it will hunger, and this is when it will take control of its host, going on a massive feeding frenzy, swallowing anything biological in its sight and integrating it into its own mass, it lays dormant within his body, bonded to his bones as a pink tinted, jellylike substance, it can move through skin easily and when it is activated a slight coating will cover Davids stomach, it will force anything it can against this thin layer of membrane and in a short time it will slowly break down and absorb the substance, David has done his best to keep it satisfied, but he doesn't know how much longer he can keep it up before he's caught

Powers:
David has extensive street fighting skills and decent aim, but his real power comes from the parasite, It cannot be separated from its host, and only goes dormant after feeding, which happens irregularly and without warning, the parasite is infinitely malleable and can reproduce at an alarming rate, though it will never grow to a size that cannot be contained by its host, it has adhesive properties and can be used to sling from place to place as well as a sort of remote manipulation, usually manifesting in the form of tendrils coming from the wrists (think something like spider mans webs) David becomes much more dangerous when possessed, his finer motor skills become impaired and his movements seem jerky and inhuman, as the parasite is not used to controlling an non-malleable body, The membrane, or the parasites form itself is created from two basic types of sentient bacteria working in tandem, the first and most numerous is referred to as Phagous, it is the actual membrane, it has a widespread molecular structure, making it able to withstand massive trauma like an object many times its size, cushioning blows with ease while still remaining lightweight, most traumatic blows can be turned away relatively easily, falls from buildings and similar physically traumatic experiences can be survived with the help of this cell, it is highly malleable, and uses any and all energy as a catalyst for reproduction or movement, its receptors store any unanchored, or unused energy it comes into contact with, for example, mechanical energy dispersed by the body when running can be snatched from the atmosphere and reused by the bacteria, making tiring an almost impossibility, though the bacteria DOES burn through energy at an alarming rate, which, at a certain point, will cause the parasite to take over, The Magous is the second type of cell, it is the fast moving, less numerous bacteria, which is invisible to the naked eye, this cell has the sensory functions necessary to direct the Phagous, because although the Phagous is the main body, it has no sensory capabilities with which to act on its own, because of this, the Magous picks up sensory images and transfers them almost instantaneously to the Phagous through a static communication, by "bumping" into the Phagous and transferring them through contact, though the Magous is INCREDIBLY fast, one being able to make contact with every single Phagous within three seconds, though, because of the number of Magous in a body (which easily numbers within the hundreds) it takes far less time, The Magous also helps in the defense also, while the Phagous takes the brunt of physical harm it is highly susceptible to other energy based assaults, such as fire, explosions, freezing temperatures, and this is where the Magous comes in, when an assault such as this is launched the Magous will use themselves to halt the attack, the Magous' structure makes them unable to transfer energy on any level, so that when they come into contact with an element such as heat energy, they can mass up at the site, completely halt the oncoming heat, and halt the onslaught, sloughing off the dead Phagous and Magous, leaving the rest unharmed, this is amazingly efficient because of how fast the Phagous regenerate, or multiply, although the Magous multiply at a far less alarming rate
