Description

Original character and realistic art by Songdog-Strayfang. Anthro art by me.

Name: Uniquex
Age: 9 years
Gender: Male
Species: Anteater
Act/Talent: Magic/Juggling
Abilities: With a name like Uniquex, one would imagine this anteater to be unique, and they would be correct. He possesses the elusive abilities of Hammerspace and Anime Physics. His Hammerspace ability allows him to retrieve items apparently from nowhere, although they were apparently in his pocket or something the whole time. Unfortunately, this ability isn't quite as awesome as it could be, for Uniquex actually has no control of what he pulls out of the Hammerspace. It could be a gun, a vicious tiger, a piano, or it could merely be a paperweight. Nobody knows, not even Uniquex. He has made this ability a primary part of his act, where he first pulls items out of nowhere as a magician would, and then proceeds to juggle. The second ability is equally vital to both combat and his act. Anime Physics allows him to lift pianos, tigers, or even heavier objects, as well as letting him jump improbably high. This allows him to juggle whatever happens to come out of the enigmatic Hammerspace. A rather secondary ability of his is his swordfighting, which leaves much to be desired. Uniquex believes himself to be a pirate, and insisted on learning how to sword fight, but he'd be lucky to defeat a ten-year-old in a fencing match. Instead, he must rely on his supernatural abilities the bulk of the time. He also has a scar on his right cheek that randomly changes size and shape. This does not appear to affect his powers one way or the other.
Strengths: As previously stated, Uniquex is improbably strong thanks to his Anime Physics. He can lift more or less anything, and this makes his Hammerspace ability very frightening....at least, when he manages to pull something scary out of the void. He is also very unique, and his green hair is certainly an asset to his overall appearance.
Weaknesses: While Uniquex wields an incredible power capable of destroying anyone who stands in his way, he is very unpredictable. His Hammerspace has an equal chance of providing him with a weapon as it has of providing him with something useless....or self-destructive. He also prefers to be very showy in fights, showing off just how unique he is, and sometimes his ability just can't back up his attitude. This showiness is not a good thing for a creature as clumsy as he. In fact, part of the reason that his swordfighting leaves much to be desired is that Uniquex is not terribly coordinated. Also, the Anime Physics that are a boon to his fighting activity are the bane of his fighting performance as well. While he can lift improbably heavy objects, those fighting him gain a similar effect. Therefore, Uniquex is thrown farther, hit harder, and is prone to getting cut and bleeding. If one were to quantify the effect of the anime physics on the damage he retains, it would be about three times an ordinary creature would be injured. On an unrelated note, he cannot see very well, considering one eye is covered by an eyepatch and the other is obscured by his green emo-hair.
Personality: Uniquex does everything he can to break out of the mold set by him. There are many anteaters associated with him like BloodKillDarkDeath (although nobody truly knows whether they are his siblings, or something different), and Uniquex has an inferiority complex. He especially feels as if he remains in BloodKillDarkDeath's shadow, and while he has no desire to be evil, he wants attention. This is why he insisted on becoming a pirate (or at least pretending) and how he discovered the extent of his magic powers.
History: Uniquex constantly lived in the shadows of other anteaters like him, which had some sort of history with him (although what exactly this history was has never been confirmed). Unfortunately, all of them were too confrontational, high, or evil to truly bother paying attention to him, and so Uniquex was lonely for the bulk of his life. He discovered his magical abilities soon after he began growing his green hair, and it is rumored that the two are related. One day, Uniquex decided he had had enough of being ignored, and set off on his own, donning a small amount of pirate garb and teaching himself to use a sword. Once he learned of the Tapestry of Horror, he realized that he had a way to utilize his abilities while being noticed at the same time, and he joined right away.
Other: He is left-handed/pawed. Because he is unique, of course.
Likes: Uniquex enjoys only things that he believes will make him more unique. Of course, being a pirate (sort of), he likes pirates and sword-fighting, and he enjoys being noticed. He likes spicy foods (when he's not busy eating your garden-variety ants), and enjoys most forms of music. Despite being a pirate, he is quite the patron of the performing arts.
Dislikes: Uniquex believes that one of his greatest threats is that of ninjas, and so he avoids them whenever he can. He hates being associated with anybody else, for that would mean less attention would be on him. Also, for obvious reasons, he dislikes when he happens to pull something useless like a pencil out of Hammerspace.
