Marital Status: Unrevealed
Known Relatives: None
Base of Operations: Mobile
Past Group Affiliations: Partner of Stone
Known Powers:
Rotting Touch: Styx has the Amazing ability to cause Organic matter he touches to instantly rot and decay. This inflicts Amazing damage to living creatures, and affects organic materials (wood, rope, cloth, etc.) as if Styx were attempting to break the item with Amazing Strength. Victim's of this power must come into direct contact with Styx's flesh. When Styx wishes to touch something or someone without harming it, he wears a pair of gloves. Styx's power stimulates the pleasure centers of his brain and, unfortunately, the more his power is used, the more intoxicating it is for Styx.
Elongation: Styx has the Feeble ability to elongate his fingers up to1 area.
Talents:
None.
Contacts:
Stone, Jonathon Caesar
Role-Playing Notes:
Styx teeters upon the brink of complete lunacy. He lives only for death, which is his sole pleasure. Without his partner' s guidance, Styx would likely become a raving psychotic killer, totally out of control.
History:
The early history of Jacob Eichorn is a mystery. For unknown reasons, he became a homeless derelict. Eventually, he was approached by a medical research firm seeking homeless people to participate in experiments for new pharmaceuticals. The pay was good, and the danger promised to be minimal. Eichorn readily agreed.
Unfortunately, one of the scientists was pursuing his own unauthorized research by exploring the theory that the human body can develop immunity to cancer by controlled exposure to the disease. As a result, Jacob Eichorn was injected with a mutated cancer compound. Although he developed an immunity to the disease, Eichorn became a living cancer himself with the ability to kill organic matter by touch.
Eichorn's mind was also affected, for he took the name Styx after the mythical passage to Hades. He quickly developed a twisted affinity for death, finding that only by bringing death to others could he find happiness and release.
It is unclear how Styx came to be associated with Stone. Apparently, Styx did something for Stone, for which Stone is forever grateful. By helping Styx control his deadly urges, Stone figures he is repaying his debt.
