Aqueous notices something
Aqueous is the main protagonist in the novel and conceptualized TV series I Am Aqueous, written and developed by Brad Weaver
Overview
Aqueous, in his universe, is known as a Liquid Machine. His power has been sought after for well over forty years from the beginnings of his development at Project Sol and to the "present" in roughly 2027. Aqueous fights so that no one can possess his abilities, knowing far too well how powerful his is. Whether people hate him or love him, Aqueous lives everyday hoping to see the day he is no longer needed.
Physical Attributes
Aqueous has been designed to have a "default" form. Aqueous stands just under five feet tall and weighs well over three hundred pounds. He has four fingers, in the shape of a "t" on his hands and feet with the center digit being muxh longer than the others. He has a tail that stems out from his lower back and two tentacles that form out of te back of his head. Thicker, darker specks of liquid represent where he aborbs the visible spectrum ie his eyes that let him see. He also adopted eyebrows to show his emotion, because he initially had none. He still does not possess a mouth however.
His "body" is a highly dense and extremely complicated compound that has yet to be reproduced since his creation. The "body" dissolves his "mind," an Artifical Intelligence printed on another, never-again-reproduced, solute or powder. In layman's terms, Aqueous' body is a computer chip and his brain is the software programmed onto it. His body is very viscous, is cool to the touch and in fact leaves no film or wetness behind if contact is made to any surface.
Aqueous' greatest weakness however, stems from the fact that his "mind" or A.I. solute is a finite amount spread around his entire body. He must physically store memories, how to do things and any sort of thought though out himself, and if say, he lost his arm, sure it can be reabsorbed/reattached, but if the instructions on how to do so were stored in that arm, he would actually have to reteach himself how to do that somehow or wait for the arm (now with copious severed knowledge) to reattach itself if it could. It is a constant balancing act when Aqueous rewrites his "code" to create multiple copies of how to do's for safety and effectiveness or to keep the "storage" to hold his most precious memories.
Special Abilities
Aqueous' abilities are usually limited to the amount of concentration he puts into it. However, in dire cicumstances he has been known to do extaordinary things by shee force of will. Aqueous can use his liquid body to morph and shift his body around to slide under cracks, stretch taller, form shapes (on his appendages) and reform if sperated. He can also harden or soften any part of his body to flow like water or be as solid as diamond with enough concentration. His unique chemical make up has no apparent weakness either, and cannot be mixed into say cement, eletrocuted, boiled, diluted or frozen. Aqueous also possesses the ability to see the infrared spectrum (see heat) from every point on his body, at the same time, as well as the normal spectrum from his two "eyes." He has been tought to push air through his body, at many locations and shape its escape like a mouth - unnoticiable to the naked eye, giving Aqueous the appearance of talking without showing anything. Finally, as an ability left over from other prototypes, Aqueous has the ability to possess people's brain, attaching a tendril to the brain and controlling it like a remote. Aqueous is terrified by this ability and only ever uses it to make someone speak and only then, just to frighten them.
Weaknesses
Despite Aqueous' apparent invulnerability, he can in fact, be hindered or destroyed. As forementioned, Aqueous' greatest weakness is his necessity to physically store his brain throughout his body. By chance of fate, a regular attack made by fist, weapon, vehicle or any other method of disruption, could make Aqueous anything from dazed, stunned, to completely forgetting who he is and what he was doing - thus leaving him vulnerable. Specialized chemicals have been developed (but lost), that can dissolve either Aqueous' body or mind upon contact. Aqueous' abilities often work against him, so falling through storm drains accidentally, things might unwantingly sink into him, seeing heat everywhere on a very hot day or when an explosion occurs is "blinding," and because of how he speaks, he voice does not travel very far or through objects at all. Finally, Aqueous' mind is of a small, socially awkward child, so charisma is abismal.
