Day 177. Shard


Shard is quite a frightening hero to say the least. He was consumed by an alien goo that engrossed his entire body and replaced his skin with a blue rubbery texture. When it hardened, into a stretchy plastic of sorts, he could hardly move. He tried many times to kill himself but the new blue skin acted as an impenetrable shield. Although originally the goo wanted nothing more than consume the man, it began to grow attached to its host. The goo was not willing to detach itself (that would mean certain death for the goo and the host), but instead spoke to Shard and explained how its powers could be used for justice, to make up for this intrusion. Soon, Shard learned to wield the goo, although it leaves him vulnerable to attack and causes him great pain. If he concentrates he can break parts of the hardened goo off and use them as projectile shards that can pierce any material. Always conscious of the goo's position, these shards return to act as a shield once again.... sooner or later.
