Background

To know what her name is, would make no difference. To anyone. They would be unable to pronounce it, unless you actually lived in Uganda. She lived out in the country, as much as there is a country in Uganda. There wasn't much of a population there, it what being said. She is one of 13 children, second from the oldest and the oldest girl. She was also the biggest. By the time she was 16, she weighed over 220 pounds, and she added over 50 more pounds in the next few years. It made her perfect for field work, being able to pull triple the crops of the remaining children.

She grew up without schooling, without friends and without much outside of her family life. The house they lived in was small, and the older kids forced to sleep outside under a great tree. The siblings played simple games like tag and hide and seek. There was no TV, no video games, no digital music. Whatever entertainment they had, they created themselves. From homemade games, to singing around a fire. This was the way of life.

She worked in her father's field for her entire life. None of the children knew of any other way of life. However, that all changed shortly after she turned 22 years old. She was lying under the great tree next to her brother, as they shared a handmade blanket for warmth. In the morning, their father sent one of the younger children to wake them up and the child started screaming and ran back to the house. The screams woke her up, and as she tried to get to her feet, she felt weighted down. It was then she noticed that sometime during the middle of the night, spikes shot out from her skin. Spikes that would drive right into her brother, killing him. She started to scream herself, and the spikes retracted or disappeared or somehow were now gone. She couldn't believe what she had done and she ran off. She never returned home after that.

She set out on her own, unsure of what was happening to her or why. She traveled for several days, finding some wild berries to eat, though it provides her minimal hydration. One day, she came upon a large carnivorous spotted feline. She was immediately scared and hid behind a tree, but it wasn't much use as the feline decided it was hungry enough to give the girl a try and attacked. She ran at first, but the feline overtook her easily. The girl fought back, hands around the feline's throat as it tried to bite, when she felt something weird happen to her palms and the feline just stopped fighting.

Blood began to run down her arm as she dropped the feline, only then seeing the return of the spikes as they shot out straight from her hands. She found that if she concentrated, she could return her skin back to it's normal state. Fascinated, she begin to focus on changing her skin. At first, she just played with the spikes, but then she also realized she could change the thickness. It wasn't for several months later, she noticed she could change the color of her skin as well.

She walked for days, weeks and perhaps even months. She lots track of how many times the sun rose and set until she finally came to a body of water. It seems she's passed from Uganda into Kenya and all the way to the port of Malindi. She was able to stow away on a ship, and moved from ship to ship until she somehow found her way to New York.

She knew no one, spoke no English and was utterly lost when she slipped off the ship. She was equally confused when she was immediately taken into custody. Fear set in and she grew thick knots on her hands and beat those who grabbed her, and she fled into the city where she fell in with a group of homeless.

She spend a great deal of time with the homeless and picked up a few words of English. Enough to get by. She got into a scuffle one day as a few thugs decided to take their chance with her and she easily dispatched them, using rhino skin to thwart their attack, and pound them all bloody and beaten. The scene caught the attention of a thug who reported back to the owner of the local cage fight ring.

Using a universal translator, an evolved with the gift of learning all languages, they made a deal that put money into her pocket and a roof over her head. She was given the name "Konga the Obliterater". Her life came to a tragic end at the hands of Ethan after three fights. Her body disappeared and has not been recovered.

Psych Profile

Konga is well aware that she fights for her pay. This gives her an edge and makes her far more concerned about winning and losing. She intends to eat. She might also have the impression that if she loses, she would be out of a job, so that also puts her on edge and more likely to do what it takes to get the job done. She's not above killing if she feels her life is in danger.

Communication. Very difficult to talk to Konga without someone around who can translate her native language. She has picked up a few necessary words like 'food' and 'fight', but otherwise she knows hardly anything at all. She is capable of learning single word instructions, but it will be very difficult to teach her actual sentence structure.

Stubborn. If a task is too difficult for Konga (mostly related to learning) then she will be hesitant to try. If you try to make her do it, she will get angry and violent. It will take a great deal of patience to get through to her.

Compassion. Konga is not above compassion. She will not fatally wound someone who cannot defend themselves, unless she feels they would be a future threat to her. She also will not bully the helpless. She was taken care of by friends when she first arrived here and lived with the homeless, so she knows to return the favor.

Evolved Ability

Konga has the ability to adapt her skin. She can increase/decrease the thickness of her skin. She can change the pigmentation of her skin. Finally, she can enhance her skin to add knots, spikes, or thorns.

Thickness. She can increase the thickness of her skin. There's no actual limit to how thick she can take it, however, the thicker she makes it — the less mobility she has. She can literally cocoon herself in her own skin, but she would not be able to do much else.

Pigmentation. This one is easy enough. She can change colors. It's not a rapid change and would have to go through the color spectrum to get to a specific color. She can only change color while her skin is normal. Once her skin thickens, she loses the ability to manipulate the color.

Enhancements. Konga has the ability to add spikes, knots or thorns to her skin. She can use this in addition to the thickening of her skin, as long as the thickness of her skin still allows for some elasticity. Once she loses the elasticity of her skin, she can no longer add these enhancements.

Additional Data: Generating the extra layers of skin, would depend on thickness. The first layers added would only a few moments, while one you get into the thicker layers, she would need seconds. It would take her nearly 1 minutes to fully cocoon herself. With enhancements, those are fairly straight forward and need little time to complete. Changing her color, would depend on where she was in the color spectrum and where she needs to go. You would see her skin change colors all the way through until she reaches her desired color. Reverting back to her original state is manipulated the same way. The skin just reverts back the same way it was manipulated in the first place, taking about the same amount of time.
