Villain APP: Name/Alias: Kapa Qol
Age: 113
Gender: Male
Appearance: KapaPersonality: Cold. Calculating. Predatory. Seemingly incapable of empathy.
Faction: Independent.
Affiliation: n/a
Race: Ethyrian
Backstory: Kapa's kind hails from the watery depths of Ethyr, a small planet perpetually enveloped in violent, super-charged storms. Ethyrian society is isolated and heavily based around science, as the species seeks to improve the manner and capacity by which they attain the large amounts of energy generated by the planet-wide storms. Kapa was considered a brilliant innovator in this regard, having helped design an improved model of the monolithic towers which rise out of the ocean to conduct, process, and deliver the vital energy to the Ethyrians' underwater cities.
He advocated heavily for the Ethyrians to set their sights on colonization, and even invented a suit and mask that would allow his kind to thrive outside of their aquatic environment. Ultimately, the others had zero interest in leaving their home planet for any such reason. Not a particularly malevolent species, he is the first known to travel off-world and actively prey upon weaker lifeforms.
Kapa first visited Earth in the late '90s. He was drawn to Tokyo by the city's vast electrical grid and large population. At first he was content to feed off of the grid alone, but he eventually developed a desire to absorb the electricity produced by the humans, which would consequently kill them by way of sapping the energy needed for vital bodily processes. He would later be confronted and defeated by Aquaman, causing him to flee planet Earth.
It is unknown how many other planets he terrorized before his ship crash lands in the Gotham River, bringing him to Earth for a second time.
Powers/Weapons/Tech: Electrokinesis -
Alien Physiology -Extended lifespan: Average Ethyrian lifespan is around 200 years.
-Regeneration: Kapa's body heals wounds at an accelerated rate and can even regenerate lost limbs, albeit very slowly.
-Electro-attunement: Ethyrians feed off of electricity for sustenance. This includes organic lifeforms. They are able to perceive electrical signatures as they must absorb this energy in order to live.
-Darkvision: Born in the sunless depths of a watery world, Kapa is accustomed to and thrives in the absence of light.
-Telepathy: Ethyrians communicate via telepathy.
-Breathing Apparatus: Allows Kapa to breath in many environments outside of water. Allows Kapa to perceive light in a similiar way that humans do. Additionally, the mask is capable of converting his telepathy into electronic speech.
-Bio-Suit: Made of a strong, porous, durable polymer, the suit is resistant to piercing damage. It's primary function is to allow Kapa to breath outside of water, as well as protecting his skin from direct sunlight.
Weaknesses: Essentially a living battery, when Kapa discharges energy, he is literally using up the energy he requires to sustain himself. This can lead to a multitude of problems including severe fatigue, exhaustion, and possibly death. Kapa's species utilizes cellular diffusion to "breath" due to their aquatic nature, and without a device to compensate Kapa has substantial difficulty with respiration outside of water. He is also is extremely sensitive to bright light without his mask.
Skills: Scientist specializing in advanced technology and biology.
RP Examples: Here and

Extra Information: Lex Luthor attempted to recruit him. Despite the man's great intelligence and power, Kapa showed only disdain for humanity, and refused.
Living place: Kapa does not necessarily live at any one place within Gotham. Rather, he frequently returns to a generating station located along the Gotham River where he will feed off of the city's electrical grid.
