Kores essuya le sommeil de ses yeux et soupira, le vol d'Irlande du Nord vers la Californie fut un cauchemar. Tout ce temps passé dans l'avion l'avait raidi, son corps se sentait un groggy accablant. Malheureusement, il ne pouvait pas juste vérifier dans son hôtel et s'effondrer sur le lit, la lettre disait qu'il devait être au quai à 2h du matin qui n'était pas loin à partir de maintenant. Kores a sorti un téléphone flip de sa poche, la plupart des gens maintenant un jour ne serait pas vu mort avec une de ces reliques, mais c'était un rare morceau de technologie qu'il savait vraiment travailler, avec son téléphone était un morceau de papier avec quelques gribouillis incohérents et un jumble de lettres, il avait fait s'assurer qu'il y avait quelques compagnies de taxis qu'il pouvait appeler et a décidé de juste faire son chemin vers le bas de la liste. Il a pressé les numéros avec force dans son téléphone avant de le tenir contre son oreille pendant qu'il sonnait. "Bonjour, je voudrais un taxi, je suis à l'aéroport en ce moment." Kores a dit poliment qu'il pouvait, on lui a dit qu'un taxi serait bientôt envoyé.
En attendant le taxi, Kores envoya un message à sa famille, disant qu'il voyageait en toute sécurité et que tout allait bien, et qu'il attendait avec impatience son séjour en Amérique. Peu de temps après avoir envoyé le texte, il a remis son téléphone dans sa poche face rouge, quelques personnes passant lui ont donné des regards très étranges, pour être juste il portait des nuances la nuit et texto fort sur un téléphone flip. Quand le taxi est arrivé, Kore a mis son sac à dos avec tout ce qu'il a apporté avec lui dans le coffre, puis il a ouvert la porte du taxi pour s'asseoir dans le siège arrière. Il a récupéré la lettre qui a causé ce voyage de certaines sortes de sa poche de veste intérieure, rapidement balayant dessus pour l'emplacement exact de la rencontre un peu nerveusement, il avait fait des erreurs simples dans des situations comme celles-ci avant que cela a ruiné sa nuit, mais il a été déterminé que ce soir n'était pas l'un d'entre eux. "Est-ce qu'il serait possible de se faire déposer près du quai 32A monsieur? J'ai des amis que je rencontre." il a ajouté le petit mensonge blanc pour simplement créer une bonne humeur entre les deux. "Pas de problème homme, déjà assez tard, assurez-vous que vous et vos amis rester en sécurité." le chauffeur de taxi a répondu, Kores lui a donné un sourire et avant de fixer sa ceinture, une fois que la voiture a commencé à bouger, il a roulé par la fenêtre pour profiter d'une brise vive contre son visage. Le chauffeur de taxi avait une station de radio obscure, mais Kores a réussi à en bloquer la plupart en regardant par la fenêtre de la ville de San Diego, c'était très différent de la petite ville à laquelle il était habitué.
Il était presque 2 heures du matin quand le taxi s'est arrêté, le chauffeur lui a expliqué les directions pour le reste du chemin et Kores l'a payé avec un peu plus comme un pourboire. Il plongea son sac à dos sur son épaule et commença à marcher vers le quai dans une foulée. À l'arrivée du quai, quelques-uns étaient déjà rassemblés, quelques-uns assez étranges à cela aussi, mais il s'y attendait compte tenu des circonstances, il agita sa main en salutations. "Plaisir de vous rencontrer, c'était inquiet d'être trompé pendant un moment."

| Abilities |
Anura (Frogs and Toads Physiology:
360-Degree Vision:
Able to see in all directions at once.
Natural Strength:
This one isn't really a superpower, he is just naturally very strong, this is still under the peak for humans but he would be able to overpower the average and above average person.
Aquatic Adaptation:
Is able to adapt to survive underwater, can also swim very well in areas of high water pressure. He is also able to swim at incredible speeds.
Enhanced Jump:
Has very strong legs and can jump long and far like a frog can.
Enhanced Agility:
Keros has a superhuman level of agility (it would be more than the peak human level but not by an extreme margin)
Poison Generation and Immunity:
Koress can generate poison from within his body and can use it in combat, he normally uses it in his finger tips to scratch his opponent. The effects can range from paralyse the victim in a variety of severity's that wears off over time, however it is very rare to kill them. (He is not immune to all poisons, just the poisons that he himself generates.)
Prehensile Tongue:
Can extend his tongue to grasp and manipulate objects.
Wall Climbing:
Koress has the ability to stick on walls.
| Limitations |
360 Degree Vision:
Is unable to use this ability in the dark or with his glasses on. There is also the possibility to be blinded by light coming from any direction. And finally Kores can be overwhelmed by the amount of sensory information.
Enhanced Jump:
Legs need to be in a good condition, Koress has stronger legs than most but they can still tire and fatigue. He can not perform a jump in mid-air unless he meets a surface. And finally he needs to be careful with the jumps he chooses because there is no guarantee he will land safely.
Enhanced Agility:
Still experiences exhaustion, can survive from falls and crashes a normal person wouldn't be able to but if it is extreme then he will end the same as a normal person would.
Poison Generation
Kores also has poison glans which generate poison uncontrollably, even more so when he is under stress, he can also spit his poison in a sticky sort of substance out of his mouth but after that he can't use his tongue for a while.
Prehensile Tongue:
Tongue can receive severe damage from elements like fire, electricity and acid. Can become stuck or damaged on a target.

| Personality |
Kores is intelligent in his own right but he is easily confused and convinced, some may call him stupid, some even "as dumb as a stump" and they wouldn't be wrong. Academically Kores is a failure but where he fails only helps him focus more on where his strength is. He is a physical and practical person who lets his actions speak louder than words, when he works he puts his full effort into it, that way even if he fails he feels he tried his best. He is also quite a humble man, he keeps to himself and doesn't brag although at times he is known to have the rare outburst when he is particularly sullen.
Kores is somewhat embarrassed about his rather unique abilities, he does like frogs but it is a bit odd, he does not like to take off his glasses unless needed and generally avoids using his tongue, he also has to make sure too keep relatively relaxed and chilled out to avoid unintentionally creating poison. Some people may take Kores the wrong way, he does actually enjoy being around people and is quite a social person, he is just used to being made fun off or someone witty running around him in circles because of something he said so he keeps his lips zipped, but like most people put a few drinks on him and he will open up worse than usual. He has a loud voice, good for confrontation and fights. In his teens he enjoyed his fair share of parties/nights out, he liked to think he could sing and dance but he really couldn't. He is competitive and adventurous in nature, he has a love for swimming and athletics and is the winner of a variety of tournaments.
He loves his friends and family deeply, he can get quite protective over them and is known to jump to their defence even if it means endangering himself. When it comes to other sorts of love (romantic) he is ignorant towards it, some girls even ask at times "does he like men?" but in truth he is just stupid.

| History |
Give me at least three paragraphs of backstory, so we know how your character came to be. Feel free to add in why they would accept the call.
Born in Port Elizabeth South Africa but at a young age his family moved to Lurgan Northern Irelands, his mother Catherines home town. Kores has a rather peaceful youth, at primary school (elementary school for american) he was picked on a little bit for his unique name but they soon stopped when they found out he would punch them in the face when annoyed. He was abysmal in most subjects throughout his education but he excelled in a few, Physical Education, Wood Work, and Metal Work. It wasn't much to work (heh) with but he managed to get his qualifications for all of them with flying scores. In the later years of his education he also started to out partying, he got drunk numerous times and received numerous punishments from his parents in return.
Once he was finished with High School Kores decided to become an apprentice carpenter under his father, work was going good and he excelled at his job, he was also getting a steady income and was beginning to learn about money and savings through experience. Life was going good but Kores's adventurous side was eating at him, he was doing the same thing everyday, eventually he started to go to a college to get the qualifications possible for nursing (his mothers job) but it didn't go far, he dropped out because he couldn't understand anything even when he was at school let alone college, it was a wonder why he did it but Kores has never been much of a thinker more of a do'er. Kores was now back in his apprenticeship, he joined a few groups to keep him busy, one was mixed martial arts which he quite enjoyed, a good way to relieve stress and a good experience to have, he never got very good technical wise (it didn't really matter) but he got good at hitting things, this made him eventually leave it in favour of boxing.
Kores became a carpenter in his own right at the age of 19 and was damn good at it, he lived a peaceful life and moved out of his familys house into his own flat, he still kept extremely close to them and offered as much support as possible however. He had hobbies such as swimming and boxing that could keep him occupied in his free time and he had stopped the partying by now, he still drunk from time to time but it was with friends from swimming and boxing and mostly at his flat or around their homes. One day Kores received a letter, it was addressing him and his powers, his powers were something he kept close to him, basically no one knew except his mother and he did his best to hide them his whole life, it bid him to come to San Diego California, he had never been to America and it seemed the letter was for those with powers. The reason he travelled to San Diego was curiosity, he wanted answers and he also wanted adventure, even it the letter was just a joke at least he could spend some time in America, maybe go sight seeing.
