Injurious is an alien that was originally created for (and won) the 2021 Spring Fanon Con alien competition. He is currently available for free use.
Abilities[]
Injurious has the ability to "break" anything, whether it be a physical object or a more abstract concept like a relationship. His body is extremely fragile, and the more damage it takes, the more powerful his abilities become.
Injurious's body is able to move and function normally even after taking massive amounts of damage, and can fully regenerate itself at any time. In addition, Injurious is unable to feel pain, allowing him to shrug off excruciating attacks as if they were nothing.
Weaknesses[]
Injurious's powers are extremely weak when his body is healthy and fully intact; as such, even though he can regenerate from his injuries at any time, doing so will nullify any ability boosts they may have provided.
In addition, while Injurious's species has no negative reaction to physical trauma, Omnitrix users assuming this form may suffer psychological damage from their bodies being in a constant state of breakdown. Proper precautions should be taken before use.
Planet and Species Information[]
Injurious is an Ufi from the planet Auchy.
The Ufi began as an omnivorous species of ape-like humanoids with extremely weak bodies struggling to survive in the harsh environment of Auchy's infamously dangerous savannas. Their ancestors lived in trees unclimbable for most predators, but as time passed, the environment became too arid to support these trees, and the species was forced onto the ground.
Despite their impressive strength and agility, the Ufi were no match for the ruthless predators that ruled the savanna, and slowly but surely, their population decreased immensely, reaching dangerously low numbers until they began to adapt. Rumors passed on from ancient days state that at times, the ground of the savanna was more bones than dirt.
They eventually developed the ability to regenerate from their injuries, making up for their fragility, but still lacked any method of retaliation against a predator; as such, although their population was increasing again, many of them still fell victim to the claws and teeth of the savanna; the stomach acids of their predators broke down the stem cells needed to regenerate, meaning that if they were eaten, they would be unable to revive.
As time went on, they developed a new, more mysterious ability: the power to break. Through a mechanism still not fully understood, it seems they were able to take advantage of their fragile bodies by somehow "mirroring" the damage done to them onto anything in their surroundings. Their predators quickly learned to avoid them after this, with any creature foolish enough to attack one suddenly finding themselves lying broken on the ground as their formerly-mauled prey swiftly regenerated from their injuries and escaped.
With any threat from predators essentially nullified, the Ufi quickly rose in numbers and became the dominant lifeform on Auchy, expanding across the planet and building various civilizations. Wars between these different groups flared up from time to time, but because their abilities always ended up trapping both sides in a stalemate, it was decided that diplomatic means would be used to settle conflicts from then on.
Etymology[]
- "Injurious" is a word used to describe something considered likely to cause harm.
- The species and planet names "Ufi" and "Auchy" are just corruptions of the words "Oofy" and "Owchy" because I am creatively bankrupt.
Trivia[]
- The "pack" on Injurious's chest actually consists of his engorged lungs.
- Injurious's art depicts him with one arm degloved from the elbow down, displaying his ability to move his body even if it gets stripped down to the bone.
