Agua, The Devourer

Name: Agua

Species: Void Lizard

Personality: Agua is crass and upfront, the type to tell you what he thinks, even if no one asks for his opinion. He’s pretty bouncy and energetic for someone who steals power from others, and he is very passionate, never accepting a handshake over a big ol’ hug and kiss. He works alone most of the time, but wouldn’t mind some company in his endeavors.

Likes: Whiskey, Rum, firing his guns, hunting bounties, eating, wolves (favorite food) bulls/minotaur (also his favorite food) hefting a big belly around, and eating/tasting/using the powers of others.

Dislikes: Solitude, missing a shot, egotistical dickheads, being hungry, Oblivion (The Void), crows (normal ones, not anthro ones he loves those.) and okra.

Info: Agua’s race of lizards were slaves to the more powerful ones of dragons, humans, elves etc. long ago. They had a jealousy for the mightier races of the planet, due to being berated and abused by them. However, when Xiren’s father was killed in a war against dragons, he sent them a gift in passing, a power to wield antimatter, which broke down the energies of any being composed of matter, solid or energy wise. This made Agua’s race into a Flood of sorts, a flood that nearly devoured every living creature on the planet for their diverse powers. However, despite the immense damage, the curse starved the lizards to death, leaving but one, single egg…

Centuries passed. Life recultivated, the planet healed. The scourge of the Flood brought on by a dead god ceased. The egg, Agua’s egg, was found by a literal Wolf Spider named Garrus, who witnessed it hatch, as well as Agua pouncing onto him and feeding on him like a parasite. When he was old enough, he detached, having Garrus’ drawl and personality, and following him around. Garrus did eventually come to teach him his ways as a gunslinger and outlaw, as well as right and wrong… kind of. However being an outlaw, Garrus was hunted, and eventually, his luck run out, and he was murdered by lawmen. Enraged, Agua absorbed them until their was nothing left, and did the same to Garrus, unable to let the wolf spider go. He took on their powers, their energies, abilities, and used this growing up. Hunting people was something he was very good at, he had Garrus to thank, as well as his ability to track certain energy signatures. He put it to use as a freelance bounty hunter, and has been so ever since, lasting many more decades due to energy keeping him ageless. He has an odd relationship with Xiren, the fallen god of the hunt, initially going after his bounty but recently being friends.

Abilities: Agua is a Void Lizard, and this gives him control over various forms of energy, which he steals to sustain himself. He is always taking power, he can’t shut it off, but he can control how much he takes away. Just, mind your electric bill.

Energy Devouring: Through contact or close proximity, Agua can take power from others, eating away at their stamina at first, but at higher levels, their entire being. If he consumes too much, the person can become a wisp of energy, which is easier for him to consume.

Energy Manipulation: Speaking of that, if raw power is in close proximity to Agua, he can control it, rerouting electrical currents, lowering or raising heat, if he absorbs it he can shift its flow. This means the same for those he eats, often able to contort either his own body or the body of a massive werewolf down his neck, hiding them in his belly, or causing said belly to stretch massively to accommodate.

Energy Use: Whatever Agua takes, he can also give. Hellfire taken from a demon he was exposed to or swallowed can be belched out, or channeled into his bullets.

Adaptation: Most powers that Agua devours have been known to bite back. As a result, Agua’s body is capable of adapting to and overcoming them, a poison used on him once is absorbed like normal food, a powerful celestial blast won’t have the same effect the next time it’s cast, simply adding to his bellyfat. Having this power over the years has made his body pretty tough, but he’s still every bit as a soft and cuddly lizard.

Weapons: Agua carries two large pistols on him, both of which use a rare metal that conducts his antimatter. This allows him to fire dark bullets at those out of his energy draining range, allowing him to siphon from a distance if he lands a shot.

Combat: Agua has learned many forms of combat, whether through being taught by Garrus, or absorbing memories from combatants. He usually prefers to go for forms of Judo, as he likes to grab and pin his opponents so he can take their power.

Strength: He summoned as much strength as he could muster, which turned out to be a lot; he’d absorbed power from quite a few herculean brutes in his time as bounty hunter, they were a dime a dozen… so when his own weight reached beyond his 400 pounds in a few seconds, he was taking off, not as the same speed as before, but enough so as not to lose his prey…

Digestive system: Antimatter replaces both blood and digestive juices for Marcus, which allows him to sapped anyone and everyone, down past bone and muscle, down to the soul, to the mind. Their body, their powers, hopes and dreams, wills and memories, all squeezed into pure energy, and floodin’ his body. Never was another sensation like it, he knew from experience. When his prey gets inside, his belly began to grow in volume, gurgling and burbling noisily, the dome shrinking back sharply, sloshing and jiggling with every movement. When it was down to its usual beachball size, jutting out proudly and accomplished, Agua gave the dome a smack of approval, tucking in his t-shirt over his belly and letting it sag out.

Endurance: His bones are bendable, and his muscles are flexible, which is why he can eat so much. So when he fallen from huge height, he'll be battered but good.

In his immortal life, Agua had tried countless pleasures, from the finest wines to sex with all manner of mystical escorts, to drugs that could make your mind see the 6th dimension. There were many he’d love to try again someday, just ta’ shake things up from his usual routine of huntin’ n’ sleepin’, but it never compared to that final flex of his stomach, injectin’ his veins full of life.

His antimatter sapped anyone and everyone, down past bone and muscle, down to the soul, to the mind. Their body, their powers, hopes and dreams, wills and memories, all squeezed into pure energy, and floodin’ his body. Never was another sensation like it, he knew from experience.

Agua's stomach works, forcefully turning people into energy converted into nothing but a ball of light, the purest form in his belly for him to draw power from over time. Normally this is done in his stomach, but, in close proximity, he can do it outside the body too with sound like PSHOOM!, left his prey with nothing. No clothes, no stolen cash… and certainly, no body.

Agua the Bounty Hunter

Weight: 9'0''

Void Lizard: A type of monster that still energy, powers and matter from others feed on and use himself.

He is however very elastic and can swallow most things whole, even though larger than himself. His controllable hammerspace stomach makes this easy for him.

Agua can drain others of their energy through physical contact. He can't disable this effect but can control it's intensity.

Draining someone of their energy to its limit will force their body to be contained in a glowing light sphere which he usually consumes.

Agua's body is capable of contortive ingestion, allowing him to manipulate his size of things as he eat them. Though it feels weird, it's harmless to the victims.

Agua looked away, and nodded his head. “Ah’lrite, ah’ve factored that. Now c’mown, what’s it gonna be?” He leaned in and chuckled. “So,you either gimme what ah’ll want. Or we can it the hard way, and… well, ah’ get half-compensated for bringing you in as dead.”

Or,

PSHOOM! OMPH Now, with you converted into nothing but a ball of light in his belly, he couldn’t help but smile. Was left you with nothing. No clothes, no stolen cash… and certainly, no body. The lizard waddled off, his gut bouncing and aggressively squeezing the ball of light, the purest form that Agua’s stomach had converted the crook to for the successful feeding of the energy vampire. He felt the powers the your had, flowing into his stomach walls, into its very own reserve. "Aw she-oot, Ah need more n' clothes ta prove yer bounty. Oh well~ Yer taste n' power 'r just an rewardin'."
