DOB: December 3, 1988

POB: New York, NY

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Species: American Mink (mutated)

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 420 lb

Coat color: Cream

Eye color: Brown

Hair color: Black

Physical appearance: Two right arms, additional, fully developed arms emerging from the upper right and lower left back, muscular humps resulting in a hunchbacked appearance, two tentacles emerging from the right shoulder, four tentacles from the left upper back, three tentacles from the left belly. Swimmer's build on unmutated portions of his body, which are below the waist, the left arm, and the head.

Occupation: BOS Operative, Anglican priest

Areas of Operation: Colmaton

Weapons/Items: BOS communicator, Bible

Personal Transportation: None

Powers/Abilities:
-Gravity Manipulation: Father Az can weaken or strengthen the pull of gravity, ranging from making something completely weightless to the potential generation of a miniature black hole. He never uses it full strength, out of fear that he will not be able to reverse the creation of a singularity
-Multiple limbs: All of Father Az's extra limbs are fully functional, with the strength of a furson of similar (pre-mutation) build and health that engages in moderate exercise
-Jet Propulsion: While weightless, Father Az can fly at low speeds using siphons in his humps

Strengths:
-Councillor: Rudy is a good listener, and his advice often helps to ease other's troubles. He is non-accusative, calm, and friendly, with a good sense of humor
-Creativity: Father Az uses his gravity manipulation to make himself hard to hit in a fight, bouncing around like he was on the surface of the moon, while making it difficult for his opponents to even lift their arms
-Self-Sacrificing: Father Az knows that his first duty is to protect others in body, mind, and spirit. If that means putting himself in between them and forces that would harm them, so be it

Weaknesses:
-Appearance: It took him years to simply stop screaming whenever he saw his reflection. He still frightens many people
-Awkward: Despite having had his mutated body for years, Rudy is still physically unaccustomed to its bulk and extra features. He has to constantly use his powers on himself simply to be able to stand, and he will occasionally sit on one of his extra limbs or get stuck in a narrow doorway.
-Large target: The sheer size of his body makes Father Az very easy to hit

Bio: Rudy Nettlefisk seemed to be well on his way in life. He was a handsome, athletic mink, and seemed guaranteed to graduate from seminary school. If he had one fault, it was his pride in his appearance. He would often spend an hour and a half grooming himself in the morning, and would often make self-complimentary remarks. This behavior persisted even after several of his teachers and fellow students brought up their concerns about him.
Then, in 2007, the New York Virus was accidentally released on the public. Thousands of people rapidly sickened and died, or mutated into mindless, super-violent monsters. A few lucky individuals, however, had unique genetic mutations that caused them to not only survive and destroy the virus in their systems, but also develop superpowers. However, fate (or perhaps God) had other plans for Rudy. He possessed the genetic prerequisites for developing superpowers, but the virus also interacted with the copious amounts of calamari sushi he enjoyed. As a result, he underwent painful mutations, causing his body to warp and sprout several extra limbs.
Somehow, Rudy was able to not go insane from the horrific experience. He took the hideous mutations to be a message from God, that his pride in his appearance would otherwise lead to his failure as a priest. Humbled, and shaken from his near-death experience, he finished seminary school and was fully ordained in the Anglican church. He also registered with the Bureau of Superheroes, who decided to send him to Colmaton, since New Yorkers were likely to be uncomfortable with such an obvious reminder or the biological catastrophe.

Personality: Rudy is no longer proud. Instead, his only pride is in knowing that he is devoted to God's work. He is even tempered, quick with a joke, and has a kindness that belies his hideous appearance. He still has an inordinate fondness for sushi. When confronted with an issue where his morals would be considered unkind (gay rights, for example), he will simply "plead the Fifth", saying he would prefer to keep silent rather than being forced to choose between offending the church and offending society
