IC Information:
Name: Theodore "Teddy" Altman, aka "Hulkling"
Fandom: Marvel Comics; Young Avengers
Timeline: Children's Crusade Issue 3
Age: 16
Appearance: Teddy stands at 5'10" and is a solid 170lbs of muscle thanks to long nights of training with the Young Avengers. With his blond hair, blue eyes, and broad-shouldered build, he has attracted quite a bit attention from passersby and schoolmates alike...and given many people the impression that he is an utterly normal teenage boy. He always wears around five or six silver piercings on each of his ears when he's posing as a civvie. When he's Hulkling, he gets bigger, his skin turns green and leathery, and his shapeshifting ability allows him to form armor-like protrusions out of his shoulders, wrists, and other points of weakness.
Abilities: As a shapeshifter, Teddy has the ability to change any and all parts of himself to almost exactly resemble another person's body. In the past, he used it to pretend that he was various famous superheroes, but now he limits his shapeshifting to his Hulkling persona, which includes a bigger, more muscular body as well as a tougher, hide-like skin. He is capable of shapeshifting extra protrusions onto his body that he uses for fighting, like armor and wings-- however, he is incapable of shifting his body into inanimate objects (i.e. hands into hammers) or shifting too extremely past his normal body type (i.e. becoming long like a rubber band). Teddy is also a Skrull-Kree hybrid, and benefits from various powers characteristic of the two alien races as well as his father Captain Mar-vell. Super strength and an accelerated healing factor are the two such known abilities he possesses.
Personality: THE CIVILIAN || Teddy Altman is essentially the epitome of a perfect high school student without the nasty personality stereotypes of being a bully and/or jock. Because while he is popular in school, good at both academia and sports, and handsome to boot, he is probably the most polite and mild-mannered boy you'll ever meet. Amiable, good-natured, friendly, and almost too nice for his own good, Teddy is the kind of person who is cool with people borrowing his notes, supportive of school spirit, and easy to talk with even if you've never met him before. He's sociable with others, and all in all a chill person to hang out with. If there is anything that someone might find off about him, it would be that for someone so well-liked, he keeps his private life to himself, opting not to hang out with those he calls friends at school unless it's necessary.
THE TEAM MEMBER || When Teddy is with the Young Avengers, however, more facets of his personality are eminent. Not that he is any less friendly or good-natured outside of school, but at school, he is that way in order to keep under the radar-- the "hide-in-plain sight" idea. With the Young Avengers, though, he is accepted unconditionally, without needing to prove himself or make excuses. The team is his family now that his mother is gone, so with them, he is able to cut loose and be a little bit more himself. He is much more playful and affectionate, more obvious about his geekiness, and is in general much more open with them than with any other group of people. As such, he is willing to stand up to anything and everything to ensure their safety and well-being.
THE BOYFRIEND || Out of the whole team, he is the most protective of his boyfriend Billy, and-- as Billy put it-- is willing to maim other people for him. The two of them are incredibly close, and there isn't anything he wouldn't do for him. Especially now that his mother is gone, Teddy depends on Billy (and by extension, his family) as a haven and an emotional crutch. Being Billy's boyfriend actually affects Teddy's personality in that it drives a lot of his actions when they're out on the field-- if Billy is in danger, Teddy can instantly turn more reckless in order to keep him safe. Even outside of superhero work, Teddy will turn from a sweetheart into a an angry bear in two seconds flat if you threaten or hurt Billy physically or emotionally in any way at all. In short, love makes you do crazy things, and Teddy is no exception to this. Billy Kaplan makes him go crazy.
THE SUPERHERO || As the Hulking, Teddy is a fierce, strong-willed, and determined fighter, his strength allowing him to plow through pretty much anything and anyone that comes his way. He takes cues from various hard-hitters like Superman and The Thing as models for his super strength abilities while experimenting on his own to test the limits of his shape-shifting. As one of the physically strongest members on the team, he also isn't above fighting a little dirty to keep the others safe. Not to say that he isn't clever about the way he fights-- he's actually pretty decent at thinking up tactical maneuvers on the fly, especially when working in tandem with Billy. Most of the time, though, Kate and Eli already have that covered, so he stays on muscle detail.
History: Teddy Altman's real name is Dorrek VIII, the hybrid Kree-Skrull child of Captain Mar-vell and Princess Anelle. Mar-vell, the Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver had been kidnapped and brought to the Skrull emperor by the Super Skrull in the midst of the Kree-Skrull war, and it was at this time that Teddy was conceived. When Anelle gave birth to Teddy months later, the emperor immediately sentenced him to death upon the discovery of who the real father was. In order to protect him, Teddy's nurse-- under order by Anelle-- took the child into space and found refuge on Earth. There, she gave him the name 'Teddy' and raised him as her own, living in New York City as a single mother and real estate agent.
Teddy's nurse kept her identity a secret from him, but Teddy never suspected a thing. They had a strong relationship, and kept almost no secrets between them. Because the only thing he never told her about? His shape-shifting powers, which always had him believing that he was a mutant. That he kept a secret himself.
When Teddy got to high school, though, he desperately wanted to fit in-- and what was more perfect than to shift himself into a more good-looking person to become best friends with basketball captain and class president? Teddy was head over heels in love with Greg Norris-- and even if he didn't tell him that, Teddy was determined to win Greg over. He told him about his shape-shifting abilities, and Greg was totally fine with it-- so fine with it, in fact, that he had Teddy shift into various famous superheroes to get them into exclusive events. Teddy went along with it until one night, while pretending to be Tony Stark, he and Greg found out that the Avengers were dissolving. Greg wanted to raid and loot the abandoned Avengers mansion. Teddy would not have any of that, and finally realizing that Greg was just using him, drove him away from the mansion, ending the friendship as well.
In that instant, Teddy realized the gravity of not only what his powers were, but also the meaning of what he'd been doing with them. Before he could have even a minute of a self-pity party, Iron Lad (Nathaniel Richards) showed up and asked him to join his team, the Young Avengers. Their goal was to train to stop one of the worst enemies the Avengers had: Nate's older self, Kang the Conqueror. Wanting to use his powers for a better good, Teddy agreed to join and starting fighting alongside Nate, Billy Kaplan, and Eli Bradley as the Hulkling. Not long after he started dating Billy as well.
Some time after this, the Young Avengers started getting a lot more active and aggressive in their attempts to pick up where the Avengers had left off. A run-in with Kang the Conqueror forced Nate to kill his future self and return to the future to become Kang so that the time stream would not be affected. While they lost Nate, the team gained Kate Bishop, Cassie Lang, and the robot Jonas, and they subsequently got stronger and closer as a team.
Work and personal life collided for Teddy when one day, the Super-Skrull appeared in New York City to try and kidnap Teddy. The team managed to fend him off, but in the process of trying to secure Teddy's mother's safety, her real identity as a Skrull was revealed, and the Super-Skrull killed her for treason. With no time to mourn for her, Teddy was taken by force to the Super-Skrull's ship. There, the Super-Skrull explained the truth behind Teddy's birth to him, while the rest of his team recruited another superhuman teenager Tommy Shepard to help get Teddy back. An all-out war started when several Kree warships came down to try and claim Teddy as their own, proving to be a great enough threat for the old Avenger team to come back together to ward them off. In the end, in order to try and negotiate for peace, it was organized that Teddy would make visits to all three worlds to make a decision on where he would go after a year's time-- except instead of himself, Teddy secretly had the Super-Skrull, shifted to look like him, go in his stead as a double spy.
It wouldn't be the last time the team encountered Skrulls, but there were internal affairs that the Young Avengers would be up against first. With the passing of the Superhuman Registration act, there were efforts on S.H.I.E.L.D's part to try and capture/detain many of the superhumans that were refusing to register. The Young Avengers themselves got captured, but escaped and later helped the neutral Runaways escape as well. Not soon after, they were once again attacked, and Teddy, along with Billy and the Runaways' Karolina, were taken to a torture facility called the Cube. Teddy was put through a vivisection, which he was only able to survive thanks to the subconscious shifting of his vital organs to stay alive. They were rescued by Karolina's Skrull mate Xavin, and managed to escape to fight another day. Teddy himself was crucial to the final confrontation against the pro-registration forces when he shifted and pretended to be Yellowjacket to release a group of anti-registration heroes trapped in Tony Stark's prison.
Teddy and the Young Avengers came across one of their biggest challenges when Billy's powers started going haywire, leading many to believe that he, like the Scarlet Witch, would lose control of those powers and harm the already fragile superhuman community. The Avengers take Billy to the Avengers Tower to keep him observation, but Teddy and the rest of the team break him out. They tentatively accepted Magneto's offer to help them find the Scarlet Witch, who, as Billy and Tommy's spiritual mother and the cause of the recent "mutant genocide", may be the key to restoring thousands of mutants' powers back. That and prove to the Avengers that Billy is not dangerous. The team travel to Transia to try and track the Scarlet Witch down, and find out that she might be with the infamous Doctor Doom.
Teddy is taken from the night that Billy decides to invade Doctor Doom's fortress Latveria alone to try and find the Scarlet Witch.
Roleplay Sample - Log: He woke up in the middle of the night, took a look at the bed beside him, then cursed. Billy had gone out on his own, just like he'd thought he would've. His eyes immediately noticed the note left on the bed stand, and after fumbling with the old-timey lantern for a moment, he sat down heavily to read it.
It didn't make him feel any better that Billy knew he would come after him-- of course he would. Teddy swung out of bed and stalked the room to get his gear on, anger and intense worry radiating off of him. Twice in one night. How could Billy think in his right mind that going Latveria on his own in the middle of the night would be a good thing? All of those things weren't meant to be in a sentence, they all spelled bad news!
Teddy ground his teeth together and took a deep breath. No use in worrying now, the only thing left was to take action and get his idiot boyfriend back. Jonas was the unfortunate teammate that suffered from Teddy's pounding on his door, but he knew the android wouldn't be sleeping anyways. He could get the others up and at 'em quicker than he could-- and besides, Teddy had some tracking to do.
Billy was going to get an earful out of him once he busted him out.
Roleplay Sample - Journal: [Teddy runs a hand through his hair, a frown set on his face as he inspects the Faciliberry.]
Okay, first of all, whoever's in charge of this place-- taking my clothes off while I was knocked out? Not cool, and also really disturbing. Please don't do it again.
Second of all, where am I? This isn't exactly the 'rustic' cottage that I remember being in just two minutes ago... [He takes a moment to look uneasy here before his frown returns full force, his brow creased with worry as well as irritation.]
And lastly, if anyone sees someone named Billy Kaplan, tell him that Teddy is looking for him, and he is in major trouble. Again.
This game includes horrible mental and physical torture of your character. After reading the rules/faq for clarification, how do you expect your character to handle this and continue to function?
While he is still a teen, Teddy is a Young Avenger, and is used to the idea of danger and life-threatening situations. Additionally, Teddy is the type of person that continues on no matter what happens, for his friends' sake as well as his own. That and he has already been through torture before courtesy of the Warden make him more than able to handle (if not deal) with the Facility and Val.
