Herkain

Herkain is a rogue Mersion scientist currently working for Proto-Beast.

Biography
Native to the island of Versuva, Herkain was one of the many hopeful Mersion apprentices wishing to receive the honor of being appointed a full-time scholar and scientist.

Herkain triumphed in all fields of her studies, passing with stunning degrees long before any of her fellow pupils. Eventually, she received a prestigious position on Versuva, earning a respectable reputation among her fellow scientists. Although talented, she never entered the leagues of scholars such as Mersery.

Wishing to rise through her race's hierarchy, Herkain attempted to prove her talent by using her knowledge of viruses and antidotes to create a viral disease that could disintegrate the organic tissue of a being within less than an hour. However, when presenting her virus, Herkain accidentally released it, infecting the scientists present who had come to observe the presentation. Luckily, an antidote was released into the atmosphere, that prevented any of the beings present from being killed.

Disgraced, Herkain was banished from Versuva, prompting her to travel to Xia where she began offering her skills to the highest bidder. more recently, Herkain was employed by the bounty hunter Proto-Beast, who required her service. Establishing themselves in an island manor, Herkain and Proto-beast began investigating the nature of the Protodilian race, as well begin searching for a cure for Proto-Beast's unknown disease.

Eventually, Proto-Beast recovered Ventra, a female Protodilian whom Proto-Beast felt he could extract information from. In order to restrain her, Herkain magnetized her against a giant slab of metal, and enclosed in a protective energy field. When Ventra awoke, Herkain introduced herself before Proto-Beast arrived to take control of the situation. After a brief argument, Herkain was dismissed.

Abilities and Traits
Extremely intelligent, Herkain is a being gifted in her field of work, and possesses an extensive knowledge of cures and antidotes. Though sharp, she is somewhat bitter. Angered at her exile from Versuva, Herkain has developed a dislike for members of her kind, and has become somewhat cold in the process. She is extremely fixated on her work, and will go to great lengths to see it completed successfully.

As with all members of her kind, Herkain possesses keen night vision, immunity to Pit Mutagen, a resistance to freezing temperatures, the ability to manipulate the elemental forces of the environment around him to a limited extend, and powerful telepathic and telekinetic powers.
