General Information
Name: Noah Micheal Len
Identity: Slumberland
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Date of Birth: December 15
Place of Origin: Shipshewana, IN, USA
Occupation: Pro Hero
Faction: Hero Association #9 Rank
Appearance
Visual Appearance:
Physical Appearance: Noah is a whooping 7 foot 8 inch man, with scraggly curled light brown hair that is medium length covering his eyes, which are brown by the way. He has a rough scraggly beard that is generally unkempt, and only just maintained to keep from being too itchy for himself, on his fairly squared jaw and face. His build is fairly large and plump, making him appear fatter than he actually is, as underneath that layer of fat is a well worked heavy weight lifter's physic that can allow Slumberland to fight with other wrestlers despite his softer body. Unfortunately he's covered in hair due to his heritage, and is very self conscious about his body hair.
Fum fact, he only weighs 190 pounds due to his quirk.
Civilian Clothes: His American side tends to show, as well as thr more rural comfort that he prefers, as he usually wears plaid button up shirts, and plain white t shirts underneath. Blue jeans and cargo shorts are his preferred choice, as he finds them comfortable. Plus he can't seem to find any decent pairs of other clothes in his size.
Hero Outfit:
Modified EOD Suit
Slumberland comes equipped with a specialized suit made to mimic that of Explosive Ordnance Disposal suits, though it's made mostly of nylon threads, ceramic plates, and foam, though the foam itself is made of a composite material formed from nylon and hair fibers from Noah's hair when he was in america that allows for it to stretch as wide as Slumberland can, at the expense of less resilience to concussive forces, though Slumberland's own foam form can allow him to further nullify such forces. The plates within the suit is located and positioned to protect vitals such as the heart, lungs, and liver. The helmet as well as the area around the super sized zipper are made with smaller ceramic plates, providing protection, and some extra hard spots that Slumberland can headbutt with. The zipper can be undone from within to allow the user to perform a rapid escape if need be.
The suit also comes equipped with several pockets on the inside that slumberland can transfer to his gloves.
Knuckle Dusters:
Weighted Knuckles that Slumberland uses as his primary Pulgist weapons. Made of a aluminum and steel composite, these knuckles are just hard and light enough to use in rubber and foam forms to use them as weapons, while in cotton and feather form they are heavy enough to mitigate and apply weight to himself similar to how hot air balloons use sand bags for weight. This won't weigh him down enough to stop movement, but will allow him to toss himself a few feet.
Spring boots:
Boots made with a set of rearming springs. They can launch Slumberland while he's in cotton or feather form to help with closing gasps, or getting some air time. He can't use the springs effectively in rubber form unfortunately, as he weighs too much to properly use the springs. Foam form only results in him compressing his legs.
Personality
Bad Habits: Has a bad habit of man handling without thinking, is addicted to root beer, and sometimes can't take his eyes off of wrestling nor easily shifts off of wrestling when he's talking about it unless something serious comes up.
Goal: Confessing to Mamma Bear, Winning a title belt in the Japanese Wrestling Federation (JWF), and reducing domestic abuse.
General Personality: Noah is a fairly chill guy, not particularly showing much emotion due to his hair, however those that know him often call him teddy bear as he's similar to one in nature, being protective and relatively sweet to others unless they are acting aggressive, in which his gentleman demeanor shifts into that of a bull staring down someone invading his turf, often times using his sheer size and girth to intimidate others. If they don't cave, he'll usually give a fair warning before either restraining or otherwise throwing them at the nearest wall or into the nearest trashcan to sober up.
Outside of that, he does have a fear of geese, and doesn't like to be scared, as he often times unintentionally lashes out. With that said, he's a very goofy drunk, but refuses to get wasted in fear that he's a violent drunk like his father. Is very self conscious of his body hair
Personal Life
Mother: Rosa Maria Len - quirk: Blanket Body, Sewing Service
Father: Albert Len - Quirk: Soft Body, mill operator
Siblings: 2 sisters, 3 brothers, all younger than himself.
Extended family: Several cousins, and a close friend in japan.
History: There really isn't much to say about me. Grew up in a rural area, had lots of siblings, ma and pa were good to me.... Well, as good to me as anyone's else's parents I suppose, though pa had a bit of a drinking problem. Had to get him arrested for a bit and sent to jail after he hit ma with the bottle. I couldn't have that, so I called the cops.
Grew up a bit without him, watching my brothers and sisters... He got released two years later, and I never forgave him, but he did clean up his act. Now works as a mill operator, and swore off drinkin'. Worked hard enough, and did well in school, til I got invited to MHA. Apparently my Pa thought it'd be a good idea and sent the letter to them. I almost forgave him, but he insisted it was nothin'. Went to MHA and while I didn't do well on the bot bustin part, I got plenty of Hero points to get me into the upper class. Worked on becoming a hero, and fell in love with japanese wrestling. Why I wanted to be a hero? Reckoned I could try to keep what happened to my ma from happening to others. Maybe keep others from hurting themselves or others.
Realized I couldn't just protect by usin' my body as a shield, so I took inspiration from my favorite wrestlers, and developed a MMA mix of boxen' and Wrestling. Callin' it Pulgist Wrestling. Got even further when I fought Momma Bear in a mid semester hero exam. Added Judo and sumo to the mix. Hopefully she'll want a rematch like old times.
I'd have come sooner to help fill in if I hadn't been busy over in America with both hero work and being a wrestler. Finally got a championship belt and decided I'd come over to join up in the JWF, but then I heard what happened to Rubberband..... An' I ain' lettin' em get away with this.... I'll take the Number 9 slot if yer' willing to offer it. If not, I'll still take the number 10 and you can move momma bear up.... How she doing anyways?
Quirk
Name: Pillow Body
Quirk Type: Transformer
Power: The user can transform their body to have the consistency of pillows! They are capable of changing the softness and texture of their body. This can range from being as soft as a feather pillow to as hard as tough rubber foam. This can in turn change their elasticity, as well as their ability to take blunt force trauma. The user can also expand their body outwards in order to increase their surface area. Lastly, the user is not only significant lighter depending on the user's chosen material, they gain special properties related to it:
Rubber Foam: The user's default state. Mostly has a firm and fairly resilient texture and density. It's the only form that mitigate the overall damage to him compared to his other forms. Also has the highest damage rate, with some criminals stating it was, "like getting hit by a large rubber mattress.". Also has semi elastic properties can can allow the user to bounce slightly against hard surfaces. Is also the only form where the user cannot take on water.
Memory Foam: The user can imprint objects or even faces into their body, and keep it in that shape for a fair amount of time. While not the softest material, physical damage is capable of being reduced, though the user can still be sent several feet away if struck. The user can also employ a technique where they can use the memory imprint feature to scale and climb by creating an imprint of a surface, and then clinching on. This along with reduced mass allows the user to scale all, but the flattest and smoothest walls with relative ease.
Cotton: In this strange state the user is not only significantly softer, but they also gain insulative properties allowing them not only to resist hot and cold environments and attacks, but even protect others by wrapping their body around them. This form can be used to employ shelter in such environments, and can reduce physical damage even more, at the cost of density. This form can also create a powerful static effect if the use drags themselves through a warm environment.
Feather: The softest form available. This state greatly reduces the user's strenght and mass to the point where they can easily be picked up and thrown with little resistance. The user is capable of bending their body with superhuman flexibility, allowing them to outright crumple up into a ball if they wish. Strikes from this form do no damage, but for those who are suffering from exhaustion, the sheer texture can apply a desire to sleep on the heavenly texture. Those who rest upon the user in this state will feel not only mentally refreshed, but also quite energetic.
Supermoves:
Toss Pillow:
Using Cotton form, Slumberland is capable of making himself light enough to use his spring boots to launch himself out of the way, or to use his knuckledusters to fling himself.
Lariat Straight Jacket:
Using Foam form, Slumberland performs a running Lariat to drive his target down, before quickly wrapping around their stunned body and grappling them in a chokehold. He's capable of using foam form to create a prison of the person's shape, and keep it after he's returned to rubber form.
Sleepy Giant's Elbow:
After getting some air time, Slumberland uses Feather form and rapidly expand his arm to allow him to basically smash people with an elbow drive basically smothering them and making it difficult to escape.
Mattress Spring RKO:
Using the Spring boots, Slumberland launches his opponent in the air, while grappled, before performing an RKO from high up using his knuckledusters and feather form to weigh himself down and accelerate the attack and impact, while negating most of the fall damage himself.
Body Pillow Spear:
Using a combination of the Knuckleduster and spring boots, Slumberland uses his body expansion to catch and perform a flying tackle against anyone unfortunate enough to be in his way, if not outright nailing them with his kevlar helmet headfirst.
Slumberland Suplex: His signature technique used both in hero work as well as wrestling. Slumberland uses his training in Judo and sumo to lift and toss his opponent high over his body before performing a reverse suplex by catching them midair with his spring boots.
Drawbacks: While pillow body allows the user to change their density, this also affects their overall mass, resulting in them being more likely to be knocked further back by impacts, as well as generally slower than normal. What's more this mass decrease also affects their physical strength and attack, preventing them from lifting things in their softer states. The same principle applies to their expansion ability, though the increased surface area can allow for the user to be much more difficult to move unless they are lifted into the air. Expansion also leaves the user even weaker in physical strength, preventing them from being able to properly move.
In expanded form the user is more susceptible to strong winds, and can even be lifted by strong updrafts if they are not careful. What's more they move far slower in this form, even if they only expand one limb at a time, and as a result of their density the best that the user can do is attempt to smother an enemy.
While impacts from blunt forces do not generally damage the user, they still feel the shock of the impact, and can't brace effectively against such forces in softer states. Slashing attacks can still damage the user, and piercing attacks are especially devastating in their softer state.
Lastly, the user's body can take on water, and as a result it can further weigh down and even incapacitate and unable to support their own body weight. While the user can transform in this state they can only do so slowly as they transition from the softer state towards the Rubber Foam state as they drain their body of the liquid.
Fighting Style: Slumberland has learned not only how to use his Spring boots to help bypass his difficulty with moving, or launching himself to close the distance. Being a pro wrestler, he has a habit of using wrestling moves to their fullest devistating effect as he can nullify any recoil or impact while most enemies can't. He's more than dangerous when he grapples opponents, especially when in feather form, however he's more than willing to duke it out with what he knows and has learned from boxing, judo, and sumo to drive his target to the ground to finish them quickly. The only place you never want to be is on the ground laying down when Slumberland is nearby.
