From Page 1 of the Atomicthinktank OOC thread and page 4 of the greenronin OOC thread comes....
I would love the chance to contribute to this marvelous set of stories and would appreciate a chance to play in this world under a great storyteller. I do however have a lingering sense of dread of ever meeting the little alphabet guy.

Powers:
Feat: Instant up [1pp] {Rather than acrobatically leap up, he simply reforms himself in a standing position]
Anatomic Separation, Variable Split, Action - Full Round, Duration - Continuous. pr 6 [3pp]
{In his budding abilities to mitosis, like Entier could, Martin has developed the capacity to split off body parts and let him retain control over that matter. This is the Simulacrum ability he used for spying. He split off a hand, eye, ear, and nose and used morph to make it look like a little version of him (and morph to cosmetically cover the loss of those body parts).}
Maleable body Container [10pp +3AP]
-Insubstantial 1, Elongation pr 5 {100 ft, +5 Grapple}
{His amorphous body can stretch to great lengths in seconds}
AP: SuperMove: Permeate [Extra: affects Others (on rank 1 only), Flaw: Requires Grapple] pr3 + Blur + Flight 1
AP: Morph (any equivalent mass) pr3 + Feature: relocate physical features
{His Body can destabilize, breaking into the component chemicals in a loose, multi-colored puddle. Including the ability to arrange his molecules between the molecules of other things. He can extend this power to someone but must coat [Grapple] the person and must go much slower. His own form blurs as he does this and he can move in 3 dimensions by slipping in between even air molecules.
Further, he can put forth his mind to look like anything of his mass, even relocating his functional body parts.}
AP:Immutable, Sustained. {He can keep his cells from externally being forced to change, just as his sister did when possessed by Lacuna.}

AP: Super-Senses (Touch), {Sustained}: Analytical(1) (Chemical Composition), Magical Awareness, Microscopic Touch pr 4(Atomic-sized)
{*Can create a radius sense of what chemicals are around him, can differentiate by chemical signatures, but is foiled by a sealed ziplock bag, or in a Vacuum.
With a moment's thought he can analyze things he's touching or surrounding on an atomic level, including things in his own body.}
Dimensional Pocket, Flaw: Standard action to store, pr 1 [1pp] {Martin has duplicated his sister's trick of breaking down items and reassembling them. 100lbs.}
Immunity (half effect), Sustained Duration: All Physical Damage, Feat: Withstand Damage, Evasion (bringing it to Evasion 2 when allowing transmutable cells) [22pp+7AP]
{It’s hard to physically hurt someone whose molecular bonds give way, only to reform after}
AP:Snare, Engulf, Feat: Tether, Chokehold pr 10 (22/22)
{Martin can fully slither over someone, }
AP: Suffocate, Flaw:Requires Grapple, Extra: Duration-Sustained, Feats: Split Attack, Sedation pr 10 (22/22)
{When he binds someone up he can force his malleable body down their throat unless their autonomic responses can force him out.}
AP:Corrosion (Drain Toughness, affects objects 6 +linked+ Strike 6), Accurate 2, Slow Fade(on Drain), Feat: Power Attack pr 6 (22/22)
{Martin can also manipulate the chemical bonds of things he grasps, breaking them down… [+10 to hit, dc 16 Fort, 21 Toughness]}
AP:Transmutation, Extra: Continuous, Flaws: Permanent, Touch Range, Feat: Precise, innate pr 5 (22/22)
{… or rearranging them…}
AP: Healing, Standard Action, Total, Feat: Stabilize, regrowth PR 5 (22/22)
{…including Restoration of healthy tissue in himself and others.}
AP: Beam of Excited Molecules, Damage [Vibrating molecules], Area: Line (General), Secondary Effect, Flaw: Full Round Action, Feat: Affects Insubstantial 2, Indirect, Precise, Subtle 2 PR 8 (22/22)
{After learning that it was in his sister's Capability to project a beam of vibrating molecules and spurred by the fact that his parents worked with her from a young age to develop her powers but left him ignored, He came up with theories on how it could be done and relentless pursued them until he could also gather molecules, excite them, and release them in a destructive path that continues to agitate affected areas once penetrated.}
AP: Teleport, Medium-Own body parts, Change Direction, Change Velocity, Easy, Dimensional, Precise [all or part of himself] pr 17
{Any of Martin's body parts he can designate as his self and form a body in that location}
Drawbacks: Vulnerability: Radiation, Uncommon, Moderate (+50%) -2
{Martin is, however, more susceptible to attacks that bombard cells with free radicals and ions which disrupts his ability to manipulate his own chemical structures.}

***************
Appearance: Martin is 5 foot 6, still not grown into his adult height. He has sandy blond hair and light brown eyes. He wore glasses until his eyes corrected themselves and still unconsciously ‘adjusts’ them, especially when nervous.
65% Oxygen, 18% Carbon, 10% Hydrogen, a bit of Nitrogen, and a smidge of other stuff: Calcium, Phosphorous, Iron, Sulfur, etc… make up the Human body and Martin can describe them all.
Martin Curie was never the most popular kid, he had a fondness for science and chemistry, unconsciously drawn to it, even from a young age. This targets a kid for bullying and after the third bloody nose his parents recommended he go out for wrestling just to keep the bullies off of him. Even then, he never really bulked up, just became wiry for his small size.
If the name is familiar it is because he is indeed descended from Marie and Pierre Curie, the famous chemists and physicists. (or so he believed his whole life) This fact likewise did not endear him to the hearts of would-be-tormentors.
Discovering his abilities was a rather traumatic occurrence – during a wrestling match he abruptly ‘melted’ into a rippling gold puddle of goo. He came to facing a man in a HazMat suit in a quarantined building. His parents, Jeannette and Basil, intelligent individuals themselves, saw their dreams for their bright son evaporate in the face of his publicly awakened Neo-Sapian powers, or so Martin believed. They try to be supportive, but don’t really know what to do with him and they seemed to carefully watch his 11 year old sister, Gabrielle, for fear she might also manifest.
Though, this was, in fact, a lie. Martin's parents are a single entity known as Entier. She was a collection of unstable molecules cloned by Dr. Meinstein for his 'Primes' in the bowels of Patriot Robotics. She gained sentience and learned how to manipulate her liquidy form and inherent command over the covalent and ionic bonds in objects she touches. She escaped Patriot Robotics with her donor host, a Neo-Sapien boy with the ability to affect molecules named Martin) and fled to France where, in her desire for a mate and to provide a family for the orphaned Martin, she split off to form Basil Curie, then had another 'child', Gabrielle (Elle).
Martin (Prime) grew to young adulthood but was killed when his powers were revealed to townsfolk (saving victims of a crash, no less).
In their/her grief and loss, Entier fabricated a new 'Martin' from her/their mass and raised him as their son.
They, unbeknownst to Martin, joined a terrorist organization (a reaction to the pain and loss they were still reeling from) in misguided efforts that no one should lose a companion like they/she did.
Martin tries to be unobtrusive. Maintain his studies. Continue wrestling for exercise and because he feels it may still keep bullies off of him (not fully comprehending that his intuitive grasp of the manipulation and destruction of cohesive bonds of chemicals is a potent deterrent in its own right).
Complications:
GF - Tatjana, unstable
Puddle - (Fluxx's imperfect control over his cohesion means that sometimes powerful impacts (physical or emotional) or the application of heat can cause him a temporary and messy 'accidents' as some or all of him dribbles to the ground).
Science - (He's subject to the natural laws. For example, if he's submerged in water for a long time, although immune to suffocation, he still has to pull oxygen from somewhere. Bubbles of Hydrogen fizz up from him as he strips and recombines usable O2 molecules. This could just be flavor or this could alert someone he's trying to hide from. To transmute a gallon of water to a gallon of gas requires a fair amount of carbon. He'd have to use a piece of burnt toast or a pencil, or something for the compounds he needs.)
Open to suggestions.

For Martin, start with a young Adrien Brody.
... in one of those poses that really makes him look French and vaguely disapproving.

Edit: Spent points on Bluff, Medicine, Knowledge Physical Sciences, and Craft: Chemicals to represent likely skills gained from parents.
Edit: More skills.
Edit: 9/1/16 Added more ability to separate Anatomically and even designate a full self from a body part (i.e. teleport)
Edit 7/3/17 Added Immunity Vacuum environment, Sleep, replaced previous half immunity Sleep with Aging. 1 point banked for now.
