[(E)]

The setting gets made up as we go along.

E is also for The Engineer

Shundor Edwards keen intellect helped him to manage the difficulties caused by his mixed Hindu/English parentage. His drive to succeed took him all the way to Oxford university where he learnt to be a brilliant mining engineer and geologist. When war broke out he worked his way into a commission in the royal engineers. His luck soon changed though and he found himself a prisoner in a Japanese work camp. It was here that his captors tested the fruits of a new branch of science based on the Atomkrieger research that was sent from Germany. The initial results were disappointing many of the test subjects perished and the rest failed to display any unusual abilities.

Shundor sought to escape the camp by tunneling into a hidden space at the quarry where they were working and wait for dark then risk the jungle. However he was betrayed, his captors collapsed the tunnel entrance to serve as an example to the other prisoners.

During the agonizing days he spent in the clostrophobic tunnel his powers manifested. He emerged encased in a huge humanoid shell composed of the loose earth and gravel of the quarry. Ignoring small arms fire he waded into his captors and led the prisoners to freedom.

Powers
- Can shape earth and loose gravel, making tunnels and foxholes is an easy task.
- Can wrap himself in a thick humanoid shaped layer of earth, this continually regenerates while he is contact with the earth.
- While in his his armoured form he is remarkably strong.

Weaknesses
- is slightly clostrophobic as a result of his ordeal and prefers to leave his head and neck uncovered when encased in earth.
- weak and malnourished
- Can neither breath nor see through dirt. So his armoured form has gaps.
