Gaian Name: AttemptedPerfection
Character Name: Viktor Komaróv (probably pronounced Ka-ma-rove)
Age: 39
Sex: Male
Race: Russian
Birthplace: Vologograd, Russia
Current Home: New York
Occupation: Doctor/ Scientist
Appearance:
The only notable article of clothing he wears outside of work is a brown leather jacket with 'The Symbol' embroidered on the back. Other than that, he usually wears a white, collared button down shirt and brown dress pants. At the hospital he wears traditional doctor garb, a lab jacket. At Primatech he wears his street clothes and a lab jacket. No matter what he always appears dirty and unkept.
Personality:
He speaks English but his preferred language is Russian. He seems to take on a new personality depending on where he is because his two proffesions are polar opposites. As a doctor his job is to help people hea. As a scientist his job is to find answers by any means nessecary.
He works at the hospital in the morning. He isn't there much but carries a pager everywhere else in case of emergency. There he's quite a friendly person. Thats all there is to say about him really. Nothing about the man suggests anything out of the ordinary. He's even boring to an extent. A brilliant oncologist.
He works at Primatech from the latter part of the morning until very late evening. There he's terrifying. He doesn't say anything to the people under him other than insults and orders. He expects efficiency and results. Moral squabbles irk him because they waste time. He has been known to threaten people with his ablility although no one has died yet.
At home, that is late evening to early morning or when he can find a few hours here and there, he's basically a serial killer. He tracks down people who he decides are the scum of the earth includes: prostitutes, criminals, those of hispanic, african, semetic, or asian decent, and invalids (not cancer patients but people with incurable illnesses or cripples). He is considerably wealthy but lives in a small apartment. He has a special fondness for slushies.
Power/Description:
Viktor drains the life from other people. Regardless of their status as an evolved human, anyone Viktor touches while consciously using his ability, is drained of life and left a dried out husk. It works in three stages: In the first few seconds or so he drains the person's day to day energy that is easily replaced by eating and sleeping so the worst the victim suffers from this is exhastion. Past that he feeds on their life expectancy. This causes much more damage, the person can expect a hard recovery and depending on the ammount won't live as long. Once life expectancy is gone Viktor takes what is left of the body's immune system and mind power to an small extent. It is the last stage that causes the body to collapse on itself with nothing left of its ability to function. This sometimes means that the body doesn't dry up untill Viktor has already started walking away.
As a doctor he can use it- if he is VERY careful- to destroy his patient's cancer by draining the cell's ability to multiply. ((if I'm off base on the cancer thing... *shrug* correct me if you want))
Greatest Strength:
The life drained from his victims strengthens him. He can go days without sleep or food and if he gets enough can allow him above average endurance, he could probably fall out a three story window and survive on a good day. His immune system is also above average, toxins in his blood stream are easily filtered where other people may need more time to heal.
Greatest Weakness:
Viktor must be touching his victim until the process is complete, leaving him open to attack for a time. His ability will not work on anyone with healing abilities because, in the case of Regeneration *think Claire*, the body replaces what he takes and in the case of a healer *think Linderman*, the victim's ability will be triggered and Viktor will only benefit from that. In addition, the killing of certain animals carrying many diseases will cause him to pass out while his body fights infection because, while his immune system is terrific, his ability literally dumps everything he takes directly into his bloodstream, more than one disease or an extreamley deadly disease will require every bit of his strength to fight off completley. When he sleeps he has nightmarish dreams of the people he has killed, one in particular, a woman he met in Russia before he moved. The dreams have little to do with his ability and will be explained in a post on this profile page when I darn well feel like it.

Biography:
*Younger years coming soon*
He moved from Germany to the United States after finishing medical school in the year 1992 (age 24). In addition to an internship at a hospital, he started working for Primatech. He was put on bag-and-tag jobs with a non-superpowered partner, Richard Noland. When Noland was recruted as a scientist five years later, Viktor went back to Germany to take the medical exam (Medizinisches Staatsexamen) and aquire his license to practice medicine. He returned to the US a year later to take a job at Primatech as a scientist and as an oncologist at the same hospital at which he served as an intern. He later worked under his former partner for six years. Five years ago, when Noland was assigned differently, Viktor took his place as head of the science and labs department. He currently holds that position.
