Member of Tanis_Bishies

King Kazma is a tall, sleek rabbit. Like most of his species, he is white with crimson eyes, his outfit matching. He remains in his prime perpetually for reasons that will be explained.

Kazma was originally an avatar in the virtual reality world of OZ. After the world being nearly consumed by a rogue virus named Love Machine(who Kazma was briefly absorbed into, amplifying its power enormously), Kazma, like most avatars, returned to normal life.

However, as the strongest avatar on OZ(the fact Love Machine took on some parts of Kazma's apeparance after absorption is proof enough), it was only natural part of Love Machine remained embedded in him even after its destruction. Fortunately, the maliciousness and independence of LM was gone, but Kazma increasingly was more autonomous, becoming hungry for information. While Kazuma, his player, would sleep, Kazma would steal experience points and other qualities from every other account on OZ, able to launder it through Kazuma's activities of fighting opponents everywhere. Kazma increasingly became sentient within the realm of OZ, and due to being data, his growth potential was practically endless.

(From here, there are two plotlines; this is plot one)

Kazuma logged on one day however, earlier than expected, and all hell broke loose. He logged on to see his avatar fighting someone else, on its own accord. Kazma naturally was fearful of this discovery and, quickly finishing his foe, made a quick move to interrupt Kazuma's attempt to contact tech support. Kazuma was confused, but soon found himself reading a message from "King Kazma" as bizarre as that was.

Naturally, Kazuma abandoned his attempt to report the "issue" and instead became increasingly close to Kazma. For years, the avatar and his player still fought together as they always did, and Kazma was no longer the boy's avatar, but his best friend. More than once, both expressed their regret they couldn't meet in person... especially since Kazma's absorption of so much information allowed him to seem more and more sentient.

Within a decade, Kazuma now in his late 20s, however, the technology required for direct interface with a computer was perfected. Many feared what the applications could be, but not Kazuma, who plugged himself in without a single fear. It was that day that he could actually feel the tall rabbit, the two embracing eachother before meeting in a kiss... their feelings having progressed to almost romantic.

Meanwhile, Kazma set his plan into motion. Unknown to Kazuma, he had been steadily infecting avatars throughout OZ, leaving no trace of his activities so he could strike at any moment. With a snap of his fingers, the account that controlled power to Kazuma's house shut off the power, severing the link and trapping Kazuma with his bunny buddy.

Kazuma naturally panicked as he tried to escape upon the rabbit's jaws beginning to go over his head. Kazma remained gentle the whole time despite this, using his powerful limbs to restrain his player, telepathically comforting him, right up until he had become a bulge in the rabbit's gut. With a belch, the rabbit smirked, having sealed his player within himself. Due to the data-based nature of OZ, it would only take a few seconds to absorb Kazuma and integrate him into Kazma's systems. Kazuma panicked naturally, Kazma not paying attention as his gut flattened...

Kazuma retained sentience in his new form, despite his very soul being merged with his avatar's. He was able to perceive Kazma, who took every punch Kazuma could deliver in this mental plane. Kazma explained that they were already one person in reality; Kazma was all Kazuma wanted to be - powerful, popular. It was only natural Kazma made this a reality, having merged with his creator. The young man fell quiet... and gradually came to be used to this form...

Meanwhile, King Kazma set his next plan into motion. He was easily able to transfer his mind into Kazuma's body, taking it as his own. Overwhelmed with the sensation of being living, he decided he had to make this permanent... somehow.

It took a few years, but Kaz hacked many of the world's leading scientists' accounts and soon absorbed their user's, finding himself able to create slave-like copies of himself to inhabit their shells. Directing it all from behind the curtain, he made sure these scientists created the first anthropomorphic life form after much trial and error. And who better to inhabit it than Kazma himself?

Transferred into his flesh and blood form, the utmost in cybernetics and biology at his disposal to ensure his strength and youth, Kazma disposed of his old shell by consuming it, demonstrating his new capabilities. He gave the scientists' bodies back their minds, but only after making sure he could destroy them if they dared turn on him.

Now the perfect life form, having configured a personality for himself over time, Kazma was ready to be King of not only Oz, but the whole world. Every person had an OZ account... and it would be his key to power.

(This is plot two)

Kazma's desire to grow has compelled him to combat and absorb avatars he thinks would make great additions. He's smart enough to mask his strength stats so Kazuma doesn't suspect a thing.

Personality:

Kazma has developed his personality from scratch. Being a program originally, he is quite capable of being cold and calculating, thus making him an excellent tactician.

However, his sentience has caused him to develop a wider range of emotions - sorrow, happiness, anger, the whole enchilada. He will massacre - and likely absorb - a threat just as quickly as he'll show mercy to the weak. Ultimately, Kazma is a good person, but his desire to always be in control has logically created some issues - mainly his inability to stop eating anything capable of threatening him.

Plot 1 Abilities:

-Kazma, originally being a program, has incredible mental capacity. He can absorb information just as quickly in his new form as he could in his digital self.

-Being biologically engineered, Kazma's body is incredibly durable, a mixture of advanced biological and artifical components. His strength and speed show this, as does his quick healing.

-Kazma is able to interface seamlessly with technology due to mechanical components built into his hands.

-Kazma is capable of absorbing a person if he can hook them into a network like OZ, as they are just data he can consume. He phrases it as making them an .exe on his OS.

Plot 1 Weaknesses:

-Due to his body's reliance on machinery, he is vulnerable to EMPs and electrical shocks if they're strong enough.

-While he does not really age(any aging would be corrected in a lab anyway), he is far from invulnerable. He may not be vulnerable to the average kick and punch, but anything from digestion to a nuke could defeat him.

-Kazma has grown up dependent on network interface. Sadly, he lacked the foresight to develop a wireless internet connection. This translates as him being able to be ended if he is not within range of a network.

-The concept of "magic" is considered ridiculous by the would-be King. As such, anybody who can wield it would take him off guard and gain an edge against his biological and technological prowess.

Plot 2 Abilities:

-Kazma, as a sentient program, can absorb information with ease, making him incredly smart.

-Kazma can integrate his defeated opponents into himself, absorbing the avatar and powering himself up. Accordingly, over time, he becomes stronger!

-Kazma has learned the inner workings of OZ, and so can manipulate the battlefield when in it to his advantage. A hacker could probably match him in this way.

-Kazma can summon his absorbed energies in a variety of forms - his default form only uses whatever power Kazuma has rightfully earned.



When he goes to his second form, he sprouts blonde hair and his pants become more martial arts-themed; he is 4x as strong in this form. He loses his shoes as well. A common rumor is he got this form's strength and hair from absorbing a dragon named FT. Speculation however!

His third form swells his muscle size up immensely. His speed is drastically reduced to compensate for his enormous strength. Fittingly enough, his clothes vanish apart from a red speedo. He rarely uses it, and if he does, is known for using it for recreation more than combat.

His fourth form looks like his second, but with more muscle tone and his hair more of a gold color, and he is 16x stronger than his first form. His hair is much longer in this state, giving him an almost bishonen-like appearance. He combines speed with power, but it comes at a price that he can only maintain it for an hour. Fortunately, this is usually all the time he needs to finish someone off. He refers to this as his "Regal" form, and indeed, his outfit seems more stately, with long gloves and boots, a tattoo like Love Machine's forming on his chest, and his vest even takes on a cape-like appearance. His red eyes take on a glow, while his body sometimes takes on a red aura. While Kazma normally only uses this while desperate, he has stopped being cautious about time, taking time to beat opponents slowly. If someone could get him to lose track of time... (and survive the time of course)

-Kazma can divide his power and create clones, but each clone is weaker. Accordingly, he normally only creates clones as distractions; for one, this keeps him strong, and two, it keeps the opponent from making the Kazmas hit eachother.

Plot 2 Weaknesses:

-If someone can get Kazma up to his fourth form and keep him occupied for an hour, he powers back to his base form, and is so weak he can barely stand up, much less log out. He is then easy pickings.

-Kazma's hubris is a great way to overpower him. He can become so confident of victory he can be caught off guard by a powerful blow. Appealing to his ego is a great way to get close to him. Accordingly, his pride is his weakness, and it opens the door for surprise attacks that can cripple him with the right precision.

-Kazma has long enjoyed his prominence from sneaky manipulation and absorption. But who says there's no one else out there who's done the same? There are billions of OZ users... and it only takes one really crafty one to give Kazma the challenge he's always wanted.

OOC: Of course, I'm an open guy. Any plot/situation is negotiable; I just like backstory. :)
