Character: Kevin Ethan Levin
Age: 18
Canon: Ben 10: Omniverse
Canon Point: Mid-Third Time's the Charm

Background: WIKI LINK


Personality: Kevin is, above all else, relaxed and generally happy. After well over a year of playing the hero role alongside Ben and Gwen, he finally sees himself as more than an irredeemable villain and a monster; With Gwen's encouragement, he finally sees himself as a member of society, and acts the part, too. For a brief but irrevocable time in his childhood, Kevin was a mutant psychopath, hellbent on murdering the boy he blamed for all his problems because at that time, he couldn't accept that the horror his life had become was no one's fault but his own. Now that he's older and made something of himself, and managed to hold down a job for a decent amount of time, he knows he's far more than the sum of his past. Even though he later lost his job through circumstances beyond his control, Kevin now understands he doesn't need it - OR money - to be happy with himself.

Just a year prior, Kevin blamed himself and his powers for everything that went wrong in his life, and despised what he was. From childhood, his powers were nothing but a destructive force to be suppressed and hidden, and the cause of all his problems -- direct or indirect. Yet he also can't deny the fact that they're a part of him. They're second nature to him, and part of how he defines himself. Kevin's learned to use his powers for (mostly) good in the fight to protect Earth against the Highbreed invasion. Now, though far from carefree and always fearful that he might lose control again, Kevin has more or less made peace with who he used to be and no longer lets the shame and guilt hold him back like it used to.

One of Kevin's favorite things in the world, besides his car and his dog, is money. He grew up in the intergalactic gutter, scrounging and scraping to get by, and every penny he has -- legal or not -- came from his own hard work and cunning. While thrifty and eager to make a quick buck wherever he can, Kevin isn't a penny pincher by any means. He's thrifty enough with his money that he's never short on cash and loves to buy himself nice things when he's feeling down. His biggest money sink is sleek alien technology. He has a whole stash of nifty trinkets like teleporters, high-tech weaponry, and scraps of rare materials. His favorite pastime is retrofitting the tech he finds and integrating it with his car.

Kevin's got an eye for quality material possessions, and in his work as an intergalactic con man and arms dealer, Kevin's learned to wheel, deal and barter for the best value on about anything. However, much of Kevin's savvy falls short when he's confronted with Earth culture; Having not grown up on his home planet, Kevin's exposure to Earth beyond the first eleven years of his life came primarily from television and pop culture. He watches a lot of reruns of sitcoms and B movies, and his attitude often reflects ideals found in these kinds of media.

Outwardly, Kevin is often very emotionally reserved. There are few people he's close to, and he generally won't open up to people he doesn't trust beyond initial pleasantries - not that he tries to be standoffish (anymore), it's just that Kevin hasn't had a lot of practice at this "making friends" thing, so even his most earnest attempts at extending a hand will be awkward and shy. It doesn't help that he's still a little out of touch with Earth culture, so he has trouble finding things to talk about.

If you're a potential business partner, though, he can turn on the charm like the flip of a switch. Though Kevin's proudly left the criminal life behind, money and technology and business are subjects he could ramble on about for hours. That's the shortcut to getting to know him.

When you're in his inner circle -- a very select group that consists of ninety percent Tennysons -- suddenly Kevin is far more emotional and affectionate. He'll hug and touch and fistbump and indulge in all kinds of physical affection he'd lacked throughout his childhood, and then some.

Abilities: Kevin is Osmosian, and has all the powers that come with it. Kevin has the ability to absorb almost any kind of energy, matter, and special abilities, and has only recently learned to control this power.

Kevin can touch almost anything and absorb nearly any kind of energy -- electicity, heat, etc., -- and either use it as nourishment, or release it when he needs to. Though primarily an attack power, Kevin has even learned to use it as a crude form of technopathy. He can unlock electric doors, bum freebies from vending machines, start up cars, and a number of other simple commands. However, energy absorption can potentially make him crazy, irrational and more violent, so he's learned to avoid it completely.

The safest power Kevin can use is matter absorption. Kevin can touch anything -- metal, wood, plastic, diamond -- and absorb & copy the material to create an outer layer to match it. This becomes a quick instant armor for him if he touches the right stuff. When in this state, Kevin can also rearrange his shape a bit -- enough to create weapons like hammers or swords from the metal in his arms.

EXAMPLE

Kevin is also able to touch someone and copy any special abilities unique to their species... by being able to physically change to accommodate the power if necessary. For instance, temporarily growing wings, extra arms, altering the molecular makeup of his flesh, etc.

EXAMPLE 1
EXAMPLE 2

If he absorbs special abilities from multiple creatures, his body will reflect all of those species. These changes are generally temporary, but can become permanent if he loses control or absorbs too much.
