Eggplanter

Character Description: Eggplanter began as Ezekiel Plantez, a humble farmer with a small plot of land that he used to grow a modest variety of vegetables. However, Ezekiel became utterly enamored with eggplants after tasting their rich, meaty flesh for the first time. He marveled at their deep purple hues, glossy skins, and shapely ovoid forms. Soon his entire farm was overtaken by eggplants of all shapes, sizes, and colors. The Italian cultivars with their ample curves were his favorites, but he also grew slim Asian types, striped Graffiti, and plump white eggplants. Every plant was meticulously cared for and even named by Ezekiel. Neighbors shook their heads wondering what had come over the solitary farmer who seemed to live, breathe, and dream only of eggplants. One fateful midnight during a full moon, while dancing around his eggplants in a religious frenzy, Ezekiel was visited by the Eggplant God - a cosmic deity who revealed that eggplants were his chosen people. The Eggplant God recognized Ezekiel's devotion and bestowed upon him supernatural eggplant-based powers. Transformed into Eggplanter, he donned an eggplant-hued armored uniform and took upon himself the holy mission of elevating the status of eggplants everywhere. Any who dared insult eggplants would face his wrath.
