Character Creation Contest 4

In this competition, artists must follow all of the criteria provided by the creator.
[i'm going to start this up again based on the interest generated by my last post and the winner never made a new thread]
So here you go!

Your character must meet all of these:
character can be male or female
has to have powers it acquired from an animal [any animal]
has to have a background story [that you share] about how it gained the powers

I'll get on it!

Anyone made any progress?

Can this be a preexisting character that I've created or it has to be something new for the thread?

Neat. I'll give it a try.

I'll give it a try.....

Hopefully I can get to this.

" Can this be a preexisting character that I've created or it has to be something new for the thread? "

Does the power have to be gained and only that? Or do characters born in a lineage also count?

He has to gain the powers...not be born with them...and he can look anyway you want! more human/more animal/crazy costume! anything!

I got a story for a character.... the drawing part, on another hand, that's a different thing.......

i might enter....just got a scanner...hopefully i'll be trying some stuff.

awesome edge!!!

This is a character that I created when I was about 6. I revamped him for the contest, but kept most of his origin (He used to be a rip off of Stilt Man/Doctor Octopus....yeah okay stop laughing). Dr. Scott Coopenhagen was an entomologist of world reknown. He along with partner Dr. Pellio Vasquinn (a leader in the development of cybernetics)  created N.S.E.C.T. (The National Study of Entomology and Cybernetics Transfer). Their goal was to provide replacement limbs that used the mechanics of how insects operated using an exoskeleton to make the parts more durable. After a slew of lawsuits during the first trial runs where the equipment malfunctioned badly (The brain operating systems did not match so involuntary actions put the test subjects in peril.) the company was in financial despair.  The last prototype Coopenhagen had was the Daddy Longlegs suit. It generated solid light legs/arms from points on the body where the ampjewels were attatched. It was designed as a less bulky way for little people or the confined to access heights and reaches. He also donned the Arachnimask (a mask which allowed for 8 types of vision including: X-Ray, Telescopic, 360 degree, Infrared, Ultraviolet, Targeting, Shielded, and Regular vision.).  With his newfound abilities he stalked the night, plundering for his own schemes, he became Daddy Longlegs!  [Editor's Note: Okay, stop right there. Yes the character was named Daddy Longlegs, but I did research on the arachnid and found a new name....] He is The Harvestman! [Which sounds better at least...]

ive got one i just started hope to be finished by 12...

ok here's mine. beatrice aka 'the sloth'.
background-she was, arguably still is, a self described nerd and a  rather unmotivated community college student addicted to computer mmo's (everquest 2 in particular...hey she does have a level 52 warlock, but i digress). after much chastising by her friends who accused her of being a shutin who would play computer games for hour after hour she agreed to do the one thing she feared most of all-she went outside. her friends being rather nerdy themselves took her to the zoo where unfortunately she was to become embroiled in a plot most sinister.

 it seems that the assistant animal handler had a grudge against the chick who took tickets at the zoo (she mocked him in front of co-workers when he said he liked american idol winner taylor hicks)and was going to scare her by letting loose a sloth in the ticket booth. things soon went awry and the sloth instead leaped out and bit beatrice as she was purchasing her ticket. she immediately assumed(from her reading of comic books) that the sloth was a mutant and she had inherited his powers. thus was born possibly the drowsiest villain in history-the sloth.

powers:yawns twice as much as normal people,can drink two big(24 oz) energy drinks without feeling any effect, says 'lol' on the phone, wears clothes she sleeps in constantly,has a yahoo email account that she doesn't use(she prefers gmail).
crimes:none yet altho she constantly says she is going to send a nasty email to the makers of 5 hour energy drink(she drank one and didn't really feel more energetic).

Last minute sketch... hope Im on time...
