|Profile=The Silver Surfer was once a Herald of Galactus. He served his master well, scouring the universe for planets that the World Devourer could consume. Until that fateful day when the Surfer found himself upon a pale blue dot and met four heroes of Earth. In that moment, he rebelled against his master and his life was forever changed. In the aftermath, the Earth was spared from the hunger of Galactus. However, the Surfer was trapped on the planet and forced to spend nearly two years devoid of his one true love, the expanse of the universe and all that it holds secret. He would discover his means of escape and, escaped he did. Leaving the Earth behind to explore the universe, free of his former master's will and able to pursue his own life.
|Hair=Bald (black)
|Description=Skin of reflective silver, this monolith of a man (alien) presents with no facial, head, or body hair. His features appear as if he is completely nude, however no boy bits are showing. Fingers are fingered, toes seem to be covered. There are no garmet lines or affectations upon his form. Way easier to look at the picture or search the web for the character image.
|Eyes=Silver (blue)
|History=50 Million years ago, Norrin Radd lived on a peaceful planet named Zenn-La that was focused on science and scientific values. However, due to this, many of its occupants were always hungry for advancement. Norrin grew up to be a scientist. Norrin also fell in love with a woman named Shala-Bal. <br><br>One day his planet was discovered by Galactus (the devourer of worlds). Threatening to consume the planet, Norrin took it upon himself to board a rocket and approach Galactus. Impressed by the strength of character and influenced by the Watcher (of Zenn-La), Galactus listened to the offer of Norrin. To become a herald of the world devourer and search the stars for consumable planets that Galactus himself would not have to. Galactus then imbued Norrin with the Power Cosmic and named him the Silver Surfer. Leaving Zenn-La behind, the Surfer would serve his master by searching out planets with life to sustain the needs of Galactus. Countless civilizations were consumed and or displaced. This wore on the Surfer's conscience. He felt guilt and would search for planets that were less populated. Over time, the Surfer would realize that the planets did not have to have thriving life. Instead, planets that had the potential for life would suffice. This would become the Surfer's method for many years to come. Galactus discovered the ploy and confronted the Surfer on the topic. Seeing that his herald had developed a conscience, Galactus rearranged the Surfer's engrams to make the herald less compassionate. This would then lead to the Surfer seeking out planets with large biological quantities, regardless of civilizations or not. This would continue for many more countless years.<br><br>One day, the Surfer discovered a thriving planet several light years away. He sensed the life it offered and decided to approach. As he entered the solar system, he visually sensed the planet was ablaze and inhospitable. But still sensed life within it. This was a ploy by the Watcher (of Earth) to try and dissuade the Surfer from summoning Galactus. Confused, the Surfer descended into the atmosphere and discovered that the flame was an illusion. He continued surveying the planet and decided to summon Galactus for dinner. <br><br>While flying around the planet, the Surfer was confronted by a walking orange rock. And a fight broke out. Joining the fight, an invisible girl, a guy that was covered in flame, and some stretchy super-brain of a man. During the fight, the Surfer was handling all of them until he came across a blind woman whom seemed to get into his head. She cleared out all the cobwebs and conscience blocking aspects of his personality. This stopped the fight and brought the Surfer to realize he wasn't the monster that Galactus had made him into. But it was seemingly too late.<br><br>The Devourer of Worlds had arrived during the fight and was preparing to consume Earth. Joining up with the four heroes, the Surfer faced his master and with the help of the Watcher (of Earth), they were able to convince Galactus not to eat the planet (!nom,!nom,!nom). Galactus was however quite upset and he would punish his herald. Binding the Surfer to the Earth, of which he so loved, and through the use of the power cosmic, prevented the Surfer from ever flying in space again. <br><br>Trapped on Earth, the Surfer would face many challenges, even join a hero team to help fight evil and stuff. His biggest opposition was Dr Doom who was able to steal the Power Cosmic from the Surfer. In the end, the heroes would prevail, and the Surfer would gain his power back. Through an accident, the Surfer found that he could leave the shield around the Earth if he traveled without his board. This allowed him to move into space and escape his prison. He then created another board and fled into the vastness of space where he would have many more adventures.
|Actor=Shemar Moore, Voice Laurence Fishburne
|Personality=The Surfer is a fair and noble being; One who would give up his own life to save his planet. He respects and takes compassion with all life and would rather not kill, or even feels horrid if something is accidently killed directly or indirectly by his hand. In this, he has significant guilt for all the life that was lost during his time with Galactus. The Surfer is brilliant and quite inquisitive, always wishing to learn and discover new things. This propels him through the universe seeking out new adventures and new opportunities.
|Song="Silver Surfer(NES) BGM 1" by Tim and Geoff Follin
|Abilities=<span style="color:#00CED1">'''BIOPHYSICAL CONTROL'''</span><br>Akin to regeneration, the Surfer has the ability to manipulate organic life. In this he can speed up the evolution and diversification of a species, he can rearrange the genetic makeup to control the evolutionary traits. He cannot raise the dead, however, he can heal critical wounds while the organism still lives.<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''BLAST POWER'''</span><br>The Surfer can absorb and tap into ambient cosmic energy within his body (and without) at will. Thus allowing him to utilize these energies at different levels and qualities. Through this, the Surfer can channel any of these energies (including the raw Power Cosmic) through his hands to create energy beams which can destroy vast amounts of matter. (kept vague for game sake, no one wants to read that he can destroy cities, continents, moons, or planets)<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''ENERGY ABSORPTION'''</span><br>The Surfer's skin is designed to absorb various forms of energy - from beta particles, to light, and other energies within the EM spectrum (, cosmic rays, stellar energy, etc). He is constantly being charged from nearby stars and energies of distant galaxies. He can alter this absorption into reflection if he so chooses. He can also absorb energy attacks from like energies, reflect them, redirect them and rearrange them. He has absorbed so much energy from the sun, he turned into a living bomb. This is not advised.<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''ENERGY MANIPULATION'''</span><br>The server can use energy (EM spectrum) to create force fields, force walls, and shields. He can solidify energy to entangle or imprison enemies. He can manipulate those energies around him to facilitate space travel for beings around him that cannot survive in space and he can also control gravity.<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''FLIGHT'''</span><br>The Surfer travels through a planet's atmosphere as easily as he does through space. He can maneuver at extremely high speeds. He has also demonstrated the ability to fly without his board. Just not as fast. Gravity does not seem to have an effect on him when he does not will it to be so.<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''IMMORTALITY'''</span><br>The Surfer is essentially immortal in that he will not die of old age. His regenerative qualities coupled with the nourishment of energy from the universe, prevents him from suffering aging effects. However, when the last star has burned out and the universe has entered its cold death, he too will die.<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''INVULNERABILITY'''</span><br>The Surfer's silver skin is nearly impossible to penetrate, capable of withstanding extreme pressures and temperatures. He can travel through the core of a star and even through black holes without injury or disorientation. He has also been able to withstand punches from She-Hulk without any damage or pain as well as punches from the likes of the Hulk or Thor moderately well. The skin is less likely to be damage through blunt or edged trauma. What is more vulnerable is solid strikes to the head like that of Mjolnir or punches from that of the Super-Family. Please see Disads for other means to penetrate his invulnerability.<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''MATTER CONTROL'''</span><br>The Surfer can rearrange matter to create objects by rarranging molecules. He can also change the state of matter (solid to liquid, liquid to gas, gast to solid, etc). This power allows him to escape solid bounds, walls, or even render other objects (weapons, vehicles, armor) inoperable. Turning weapons into flowers.<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''PHASING'''</span><br>The Surfer has the ability to phase through soid objects though not turn completely intangible. This is done through his use of matter manipulation on solid walls or traveling through portals. Essentially, rearranging the matter of the target to allow the molecules to pass between his own or even open a hole in the object and pass through ony to close the hole behind him.<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''REGENERATION'''</span><br>The Surfer can regrow/regenerate parts of himself and his board with the Power Cosmic, at will. This also applies to healing/regenerating other being's tissues. He cannot restore endurance through this in others and only a percentage of his own endurance when tapping into the power cosmic.<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''STAMINA'''</span><br>The Surfer does not eat, breathe, excrete, or drink. He can survive in any natural condition or environment. He rarely needs rest when operating normally and can go on for years without tiring. In super battles or utilizing his powers at exceptional levels, he will need to spend time to recover the energy he expended.<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''SUPER SENSES'''</span><br>The Surfer has incredible hearing. He is totally aware of his entire surroundings down to the molecule. He has a cosmic awareness to a certain level, knowing a person's location when nearby or able to detect weakness in targets. He is also able to sense life hundreds of light years away. This allowed him to locate planets for Galactus to consume. The sense life power does not allow him to target single forms, it's more galactic in nature.<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''SUPER SIGHT'''</span><br>The Surfer is able to see for hundreds of light years and down to the molecular level. This makes him one of the best trackers in the universe and able to trace a grain of sand in a quasar to picking up any type of energy signature and following it for countless light years. This assisted him in finding viable planets for his former master to consume.<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''SUPER SPEED'''</span><br>The Surfer's board allows him to move at unimaginable speeds. In this, he is able to exceed light speed (see flight) or enter hyperspace/subspace. He can also move as fast as a normal superhuman, but not like a speedster on his own accord. His reflexes are also super fast, based on being on his board vs off and scaled respectively.<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''SUPER STRENGTH'''</span><br>Normally the Surfer operates at and around the ability to lift 50 tons. However, if he wills it through the focus of the Power Cosmic, he is able to match the strength of Thor, Thanos, and even Beta Ray Bill or that of the normal operating strength of the Hulk. However, enraged Hulk is still far stronger than the Surfer.<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''TELEKINESIS'''</span><br>The Surfer has the ability to move objects with the power of his mind utilizing the Power Cosmic. Normally he does this with his surf board. But on occasion, done so on other objects. He can lift around 50 tons with this ability. Brainwaves!<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''TELEPATHY'''</span><br>The Surfer has shown the ability to read minds and often needs to make a conscious effort not to. He prefers to speak rather than read thoughts. He is also resistant to highly powerful telepaths.
|Profile=On Zenn-La, there is no crime, there is no disease, there is no hunger, there is no poverty, and there is no want of any kind. Galactus would have seen the end to their utopia, save for the efforts of Norrin Radd. He approached the Devourer of Worlds, and bargained for its continued existence. Zenn-La would be spared, but Radd had a terrible price to pay. He gave up Zenn-La. He gave up being Radd. He was imbued with a fraction of the power cosmic. He would serve as a Herald of Galactus. But just as he once pled for Zenn-La, another would plead for their own world. Radd turned on his master, and as punishment, he was banished to that wretched little planet. In time, he was able to escape. Now he rides the cosmic waves as the Silver Surfer.
|Skills=<span style="color:#00CED1">'''COMBAT'''</span><br>The Surfer has countless years of experience with combat against individuals, armies, fleets, and monsters. He often uses his raw power to defeat a foe, but in other cases he will go hand to hand against others. Depending on the nature of the conflict. He easily defeated the original four of Earth and has fought many more on Earth in the past thus displaying his prowess. He is also skilled in tactical measures and employs them when necessary.<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''EDUCATION'''</span><br>The Surfer was originally a scientist in an advanced civilization. Through the Power Cosmic, he retains knowledge perfectly and has the means to be cosmically aware of the inner workings of what ever he wishes to study, create, or repair. This is coupled with his ability to rearrange matter and create things.<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''WISDOM'''</span><br>The Surfer has worked with Galactus and traveled the universe as his herald. He has experienced many cultures, societies, all the alien stuff, and much, much, more. Things that cannot be categorized here. This gives him a vast wisdom beyond that of mortal men and a huge experience base to work with.
===Current Player Approved: N/A===
|Resources=<span style="color:#00CED1">'''CONTACTS'''</span><br>Over the many years, the Surfer has met and befriended many people. In recent years, many of these people are the heroes of Earth, especially the original four he met on his first appearance. This trait is not limited to just Earth, as he has been to many planets throughout the universe. He also holds contacts with other heralds such as Nova and even Firelord.<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''SURFBOARD'''</span><br>The Silver Surfer rides a board that is composed of the same material that covers his entire body. He shares a telepathic link with the board and that makes it an extension of himself. The board allows him to dip into subspace, travel into hyperspace, exceed light speeds, and even into other dimensions. The board can be used as a weapon and as a shield, by hand or remotely, as it can operate independent of the Surfer's grasp. If the board is destroyed, he can create a new one or repair the damage the board has undergone. When the Surfer was trapped on Earth, it was the board that was bound to the planet. When discovering this, the Surfer left Earth without his board and created another one in space. Thus escaping the Earthbound prison. The board is not the source of his powers, although many believe this.
|Description=
|Weaknesses=<span style="color:#00CED1">'''CODE VS KILLING'''</span><br>The Surfer has a strong code vs killing. He will not kill. He abhors the taking of life and he will do all in his power to preserve life, even if it is an enemy. Life is precious to him and he will suffer great remorse and depression if he is responsible for its loss. (I hate to even list this trait since it's a very flakey player disadvantage.)<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''ENDURANCE'''</span><br>The Surfer has an unearthly endurance. That being said, he can still tire. If he utilizes his power at full strength for a week, he will need to rest and recover for another week after that. He can recover faster if he were within a star. When he is recovering, he cannot perform any great feats or power usage. Also at this time, he is more vulnerable to attacks, drains, entangles, and psychic stuff.<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''ENEMIES'''</span><br>The Surfer is feared and hated across the cosmos for what he did when he was a herald of Galactus and even now as one of the more powerful beings of the universe. The Surfer has also made enemies of people whom he has fought and defeated (IE: Thanos, The Skrulls, Supreme Intelligence/Kree, the Shi'ar Imperial Guard, etc...). Other races, other heralds, other entities. Countless in number. Even the Elders of the Universe wish to extinguish him and capture his power.<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''MAGIC'''</span><br>The Surfer is vulnerable to magical effects just like most anyone else. If the magic is elemental in nature, he will resist it just as if it were normal elemental attacks. However, dimensional and personal magic will have the same effect without his resistances as if he were any other normal target.<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''MAGNETISM'''</span><br>Magnetic controllers such as Magneto or Polaris will be able to use the metallic skin of the Surfer against him. He will be completely weak to attacks that exceed his strength. For example, if he is operating at normal strength of 50 ton lift, then any magnetic control below that would not be able to force his fist into his own face. Anything above that, would.<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''POWER COSMIC DRAIN'''</span><br>As with any being that requires power to sustain itself, the Surfer is vulnerable to power draining attacks that overcome his own power control. He's lost his powers due to a mechanism a really smart evolutionary sort of guy that was elevated or another villain of the original four once employed that specifically drained the Power Cosmic from his form. Another means to be effective would be to shield his ability from being able to absorb other energy by placing him into a negative force field preventing the energy from reaching him. This will gradually starve and weaken him until death.<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''SLEEP'''</span><br>The Surfer does not run out of energy when operating normally. However, like any living being, he requires sleep every so many days to maintain a stable mental state. If he is deprived of sleep over a 7 day period, he will become unable to focus. His power control will become erratic and likely fail.<br><br><span style="color:#00CED1">'''ZENN-LA'''</span><br>When the Surfer turned on Galactus, the world eater took it upon himself to consume Zenn-La. Though it was millions of years ago (time is funky when traveling at faster than light speed) that Norrin Radd left his home planet, he still misses his people and his former love, Shalla-Bal. Many of those people were able to escape the nom-nom-nom, and they hold it against the Surfer for the act. That he betrayed his people. This hurts the Surfer's heart as he still loves his people and his home.

https://tinyurl.com/spcme4d<br><br>Silver, smooth and almost fluid in its movement, encompasses the tall man before you. Kind eyes on a soft face, but eyes that burn with Power Cosmic. His is well-built, neither bulky nor skinny, and aside from an androgynous bit of modesty, he is devoid of clothes.<br><br> At his side is a board, long as he is tall, deeply reflective and covered with the same silver material.
|History=
<span style="color:#009999">'''History:'''</span>
<br>
Silver Surfer was originally named Norrin Radd. He lived a peaceful life on the plane Zenn-La with his beloved Shalla-Bal, having been raised as an intellectual. He yearned to explore the stars, becoming restless even as happy as he was with his work, and his lover. Fate would grant Norrin his wish but at a great cost, as eventually the entity called Galactus, devourer of worlds, arrived at Zenn-La. The planet would have been destroyed had Norrin Radd not offered himself in service to Galactus in exchange for him sparing Zenn-La. Norrin Radd was forced to say goodbye to Shalla-Bal, to his people, to his planet, to his entire life.<br><br>Galactus transformed Norrin into the Silver Surfer, reborn now as the Herald of Galactus. Silver Surfer served his new master for years, seeking out planets for Galactus to consume. He was given enormous power, nearly godlike in potential, however his abilities still pale in comparison to his Master, who commanded absolute obedience from him. Silver Surfer's memories were also erased, causing him to forget about his former home, and as such his duties to Galactus were all he knew. He would at times ask Galactus about his origins but his master would refuse to comment, stating that his only concern should be sating Galactus's hunger.<br><br>Eventually Silver Surfer was attacked and captured by an alien bent on controlling Galactus in order to destroy the universe. The alien entered Silver Surfer's mind, hoping to uncover the means by which to control Galactus. But instead of finding the knowledge he sought, he ended up temporarily causing Silver Surfer to remember his life as Norrin Radd. Silver Surfer was able to escape the alien, and found his master, demanding that his memories be restored. Galactus told Silver Surfer that he was out of line. The only reason Galactus spared Silver Surfer for his defiance was because he had located a planet on his own that he could feed on. This planet was populated by billions of beings, and Silver Surfer once again found himself pleading for the fate of another world, just as he once pleaded for his own Zenn-La.<br><br>Silver Surfer tried to stop Galactus from consuming the planet, and succeeded not because he was able to overpower his former master, but because Galactus decided that he wanted to trap Silver Surfer on this planet, making it his prison as punishment for defying him. The planet was surrounded by a powerful barrier and Silver Surfer's powers were nullified. He was forced to wander the planet alone as his appearance made him unwelcome and shunned. The barrier was mysteriously destroyed after some time, allowing Silver Surfer to escape after his powers were restored.<br><br>He has since learned that Zenn-La has been moved by Galactus. Silver Surfer is searching for his home and his beloved, encountering strange beings, and adventures along the way. He is dedicated to freedom, and ensuring that others are free from bondage, and slavery of any kind. With his memories restored he can live by the virtues and teachings of peace that he was raised with. His interference with other worlds has been limited as of yet, taking some of the wisdom of the Watchers to heart. His power is great but he knows it is not his place to interfere with every planetary conflict he encounters. Greater threats like Galactus loom over the universe, and it is those foes who are more likely to force his hand. But for now his long search for his home continues..
|Personality=
<span style="color:#1f75FE">'''Personality:'''</span>
<br>
The Silver Surfer values freedom above all things. He believes that everyone should be free and when he sees people enslaved he is compelled to free them. He prefers not to use violence to achieve his goals, and there are many times in which he can resolve a matter peacefully, especially since he can turn weapons into mere paper weights. But if he is forced to engage in combat he will not shy away. He does not directly interfere with planetary politics when he encounters a new world, however he will free slaves or the oppressed where he finds them, which can at times cause him to indirectly interfere with a planet or civilization's politics, or way of life. However as a rule he does not consider himself a universal hero as such, but he does try to do good where he can. More often than not he will not consider it his place to influence a civilization's course. His attention is shifted when threats on a galactic or universal scale present themselves, otherwise he is less likely to intervene. He dearly loves his romantic partner Shalla-Bal and will never stop looking for her and the planet Zenn-La. Overall he has a very educated and wizened sounding vocabulary, speaking to others respectfully and tactfully most of the time. His primary goal is to find his homeworld and reunite with Shalla-Bal.
|Abilities=
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Immortal:'''</span>
<br>
Silver Surfer has not aged since being transformed by Galactus. As such he does not have to worry about time as he wanders the universe.<br><br>
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''The Power Cosmic:'''</span>
<br>
The Silver Surfer wields "the power cosmic", which allows him to absorb and manipulate the ambient cosmic energies of the universe. He is able to increase his strength to incalculable levels, even to the point of parting a large crack in the Earth after he was swallowed up by an earthquake. The true potential of his strength is unknown.<br><br>This power also makes him almost entirely indestructible, having been shot at by missiles, bullets, attacked by incredibly strong creatures, and even falling into a planet's atmosphere, all unscathed except for some aches and pains in the latter case. But generally he is unharmed by all but overwhelming force, such as the power of Galactus. He is able to navigate through space at near limitless speeds on his board. By utilizing hyperspace and dimensional barriers he can move faster than light. Once he accelerates beyond light speed he enters hyperspace.<br><br>He is also able to analyze and manipulate matter and energy as needed, and restructure or animate matter using his power. He can also transmute elements as needed, such as turning a powerful ray gun blast into rain. He is able to heal even the most grievous wounds, disease, and ailments, however he -cannot- bring back the dead to life.<br><br>He is able to revive and evolve life on a planet wide scale if he wishes, allowing him to accelerate the development of a planet's formation of life, or heal a devastated planet (This would weaken him severely, not to mention it would be rare for him to do this unless he caused widespread devastation to a planet by accident). He possesses the power to change his own shape as needed, and the shape of other matter or beings.<br><br>He can create illusions to fool enemies, which can allow him to peacefully resolve conflict so he can escape, or help others escape. He can fire energy blasts as an attack if he is forced into conflict. These blasts are very powerful, able to lay waste to entire battlements, weapons arrays, and star ships with little effort. Obviously there is technology powerful enough to resist these blasts. He was not able to harm Galactus with his energy blasts for example.<br><br>He also has limited telepathic ability and is able to influence a being's emotions and sensations, but given the high value he places on freedom, he is not likely to do this unless there is need since such an ability could violate someone's free will (Not to mention that it would require PC consent).<br><br>The Silver Surfer does not need to consume food or drink, nor does he need to sleep as he is sustained by the energy around him, such as retrieving energy from a star or other matter, and converting it into energy, similar to what Galactus does but on a much smaller scale. Of course he only takes what he needs and does not harm anyone or anything in the process.<br><br>He is also immune to extreme temperatures that would kill other life forms. He is also immune to most radiation and is able to survive in a vacuum environment, which is why he is able to travel through space and hyperspace. He does not need to breathe after all.<br><br>He is also capable of forming and manipulating energy constructs, manipulating gravity, absorbing and discharging most forms of energy, and he is able to phase through solid matter to escape, move through obstacles, or pursue an enemy. He also has powerful senses which allow him to detect objects and energy even light years away, and to perceive matter and energy on a subatomic level in terms of detail.
|Skills=
<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Education:'''</span>
<br>
Silver Surfer was educated in the sciences and has an understanding of various branches of science. While he is not a researcher, or inventor, this knowledge helps him apply his powers in the most effective way, and it also aides him as he travels through space, and to other planets.<br><br>
<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Fighting:'''</span>
<br>
Silver Surfer rarely has to fight hand to hand but when he does he can more often than not hold his own by sheer physical strength. If he is fighting someone of similar or greater strength he is not an expert fighter, he does not have any martial arts training. He knows the basics of fighting and brawling simply due to experience. His might is in his power more than his skill.<br><br>
<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Philosophy:'''</span>
<br>
Silver Surfer is well versed in the philosophies of his people and they guide him daily. He often ponders the mysteries of the universe and of life in general.
|Resources=
<span style="color:#228B22">'''Allies:'''</span>
<br>
Silver Surfer does not use money, he does not string together networks of contacts, but he does have allies of sorts. He is on good terms with the Guardians of the Galaxy, mostly due to their run ins with Thanos. Thanos being an arch nemesis of the Silver Surfer, has naturally brought Silver Surfer into contact with the Guardians before. He cannot call them at will, they do not work for him, however they have mutual interests and they may call on each other to help avert a galactic or universal threat.<br><br>Silver Surfer is also an acquaintance of a being named Mantis, who although from Earth, has encountered Silver Surfer before. They worked together when the Elders of the Universe tried to destroy the universe in order to become its' new rulers. It is certainly possible that they may encounter each other again one day if another threat reunites them.<br><br>
<span style="color:#228B22">'''Board:'''</span>
<br>
The Silver Surfer travels the universe on his board which he can call at will if he is separated from it. It is what allows him to fly through the air, through space, or through hyperspace. It is as indestructible as he is, however if it is damaged, or destroyed by some extremely powerful force, the Silver Surfer can repair it, or even recreate it by his own will. It is made of the same material that his skin is made of.<br><br>He is also able to use this board as a projectile weapon by directing it remotely at an enemy, and it is also capable of temporarily absorbing, or imprisoning an enemy, however this is not done often. The Silver Surfer values freedom above all else and would not do so unless there was no other choice. The board is controlled by the Silver Surfer's thoughts, it is an extension of his will.

Silver Surfer has encountered various powerful enemies as he has wandered the universe in search of his homeworld. These enemies include Thanos, worshipper of chaos and death.

Another enemy of note is the being Tyrant, who was created by Galactus who has a great hunger like his creator. This being would enslave the entire galaxy if he could, and he once possessed an intergalactic empire long ago. Tyrant's power is far beyond the Silver Surfer's, and it was only by Galactus' intervention that Tyrant has not destroyed him. When Tyrant gets out of control, Galactus has the power to stop him. It is not because Galactus cares about SS, or anyone else for that matter, it is because Galactus needs the universe to exist to feed his hunger.

<span style="color:#EE204D">'''Energy:'''</span>
<br>
Silver Surfer must replenish his energy after extended use of his powers. Indeed as powerful as he is, his energy is not self sustaining, and he must convert matter into energy to replenish himself. This energy is usually taken from stars. If Silver Surfer does not replenish his energy, he will weaken, and fall unconscious.

<span style="color:#EE204D">'''Galactus:'''</span>
<br>
Not only is Galactus profoundly beyond Silver Surfer in power, but Galactus could take away Silver Surfer's power if he wanted to, leaving him a normal Zenn-Lavian again. This is unlikely to happen since Galactus left Silver Surfer empowered as a curse, however Galactus is Silver Surfer's greatest foe and his greatest weakness.<br><br>
<span style="color:#EE204D">'''Morality:'''</span>
<br>
While Silver Surfer does not see it as his place to interfere with any civilization's culture, politics, wars, or evolution, he has happened across individual people who may be involved in such matters. He has helped such people on occasion if they are in danger and if he is in the immediate vicinity, especially when he has indirectly caused them to fall into danger, even when he himself stands to lose. He would even sacrifice finding his homeworld if it means rescuing someone he has put in danger. This can derail his primary goal, which is to find his people again. It could potentially put him in peril as well depending on the enemy in question.<br><br>
<span style="color:#EE204D">'''Reputation:'''</span>
<br>
Silver Surfer is known in many solar systems after having served as the Herald of Galactus. He was once an omen of doom for any planet he encountered, as he would be leading his former master to them soon after. Even though he no longer serves Galactus, there are beings who know what he looks like, and they know who he once served. As a result he is hated by many who have lost their planets to Galactus. Silver Surfer is someone they can blame since Galactus is not much for listening to those whose lives he has ruined. Silver Surfer at times faces rejection, hate, and scorn. He is shunned and unwanted in some places. Even where he is not known, or where some have forgiven him, the stains and scars of his past haunts him.

"I am not a god. I have never created life... but I have lived. That is enough. So I will fight to preserve that same opportunity - to love, to dream, to soar among the stars -- for all those yet to come. Many lives will be lost in the battle ahead -- but their efforts will ensure that some remain to remember their deeds. And, like the gods, the will truly live forever... even after they are gone."

Profile

On Zenn-La, there is no crime, there is no disease, there is no hunger, there is no poverty, and there is no want of any kind. Galactus would have seen the end to their utopia, save for the efforts of Norrin Radd. He approached the Devourer of Worlds, and bargained for its continued existence. Zenn-La would be spared, but Radd had a terrible price to pay. He gave up Zenn-La. He gave up being Radd. He was imbued with a fraction of the power cosmic. He would serve as a Herald of Galactus. But just as he once pled for Zenn-La, another would plead for their own world. Radd turned on his master, and as punishment, he was banished to that wretched little planet. In time, he was able to escape. Now he rides the cosmic waves as the Silver Surfer.

Description:

https://tinyurl.com/spcme4d

Silver, smooth and almost fluid in its movement, encompasses the tall man before you. Kind eyes on a soft face, but eyes that burn with Power Cosmic. His is well-built, neither bulky nor skinny, and aside from an androgynous bit of modesty, he is devoid of clothes.

At his side is a board, long as he is tall, deeply reflective and covered with the same silver material.

History

Click to expand.

History:

Silver Surfer was originally named Norrin Radd. He lived a peaceful life on the plane Zenn-La with his beloved Shalla-Bal, having been raised as an intellectual. He yearned to explore the stars, becoming restless even as happy as he was with his work, and his lover. Fate would grant Norrin his wish but at a great cost, as eventually the entity called Galactus, devourer of worlds, arrived at Zenn-La. The planet would have been destroyed had Norrin Radd not offered himself in service to Galactus in exchange for him sparing Zenn-La. Norrin Radd was forced to say goodbye to Shalla-Bal, to his people, to his planet, to his entire life.

Galactus transformed Norrin into the Silver Surfer, reborn now as the Herald of Galactus. Silver Surfer served his new master for years, seeking out planets for Galactus to consume. He was given enormous power, nearly godlike in potential, however his abilities still pale in comparison to his Master, who commanded absolute obedience from him. Silver Surfer's memories were also erased, causing him to forget about his former home, and as such his duties to Galactus were all he knew. He would at times ask Galactus about his origins but his master would refuse to comment, stating that his only concern should be sating Galactus's hunger.

Eventually Silver Surfer was attacked and captured by an alien bent on controlling Galactus in order to destroy the universe. The alien entered Silver Surfer's mind, hoping to uncover the means by which to control Galactus. But instead of finding the knowledge he sought, he ended up temporarily causing Silver Surfer to remember his life as Norrin Radd. Silver Surfer was able to escape the alien, and found his master, demanding that his memories be restored. Galactus told Silver Surfer that he was out of line. The only reason Galactus spared Silver Surfer for his defiance was because he had located a planet on his own that he could feed on. This planet was populated by billions of beings, and Silver Surfer once again found himself pleading for the fate of another world, just as he once pleaded for his own Zenn-La.

Silver Surfer tried to stop Galactus from consuming the planet, and succeeded not because he was able to overpower his former master, but because Galactus decided that he wanted to trap Silver Surfer on this planet, making it his prison as punishment for defying him. The planet was surrounded by a powerful barrier and Silver Surfer's powers were nullified. He was forced to wander the planet alone as his appearance made him unwelcome and shunned. The barrier was mysteriously destroyed after some time, allowing Silver Surfer to escape after his powers were restored.

He has since learned that Zenn-La has been moved by Galactus. Silver Surfer is searching for his home and his beloved, encountering strange beings, and adventures along the way. He is dedicated to freedom, and ensuring that others are free from bondage, and slavery of any kind. With his memories restored he can live by the virtues and teachings of peace that he was raised with. His interference with other worlds has been limited as of yet, taking some of the wisdom of the Watchers to heart. His power is great but he knows it is not his place to interfere with every planetary conflict he encounters. Greater threats like Galactus loom over the universe, and it is those foes who are more likely to force his hand. But for now his long search for his home continues..

Personality

Click to expand.

Personality:

The Silver Surfer values freedom above all things. He believes that everyone should be free and when he sees people enslaved he is compelled to free them. He prefers not to use violence to achieve his goals, and there are many times in which he can resolve a matter peacefully, especially since he can turn weapons into mere paper weights. But if he is forced to engage in combat he will not shy away. He does not directly interfere with planetary politics when he encounters a new world, however he will free slaves or the oppressed where he finds them, which can at times cause him to indirectly interfere with a planet or civilization's politics, or way of life. However as a rule he does not consider himself a universal hero as such, but he does try to do good where he can. More often than not he will not consider it his place to influence a civilization's course. His attention is shifted when threats on a galactic or universal scale present themselves, otherwise he is less likely to intervene. He dearly loves his romantic partner Shalla-Bal and will never stop looking for her and the planet Zenn-La. Overall he has a very educated and wizened sounding vocabulary, speaking to others respectfully and tactfully most of the time. His primary goal is to find his homeworld and reunite with Shalla-Bal.

Abilities

Click to expand.

Immortal:
Silver Surfer has not aged since being transformed by Galactus. As such he does not have to worry about time as he wanders the universe.

The Power Cosmic:

The Silver Surfer wields "the power cosmic", which allows him to absorb and manipulate the ambient cosmic energies of the universe. He is able to increase his strength to incalculable levels, even to the point of parting a large crack in the Earth after he was swallowed up by an earthquake. The true potential of his strength is unknown.

This power also makes him almost entirely indestructible, having been shot at by missiles, bullets, attacked by incredibly strong creatures, and even falling into a planet's atmosphere, all unscathed except for some aches and pains in the latter case. But generally he is unharmed by all but overwhelming force, such as the power of Galactus. He is able to navigate through space at near limitless speeds on his board. By utilizing hyperspace and dimensional barriers he can move faster than light. Once he accelerates beyond light speed he enters hyperspace.

He is also able to analyze and manipulate matter and energy as needed, and restructure or animate matter using his power. He can also transmute elements as needed, such as turning a powerful ray gun blast into rain. He is able to heal even the most grievous wounds, disease, and ailments, however he -cannot- bring back the dead to life.

He is able to revive and evolve life on a planet wide scale if he wishes, allowing him to accelerate the development of a planet's formation of life, or heal a devastated planet (This would weaken him severely, not to mention it would be rare for him to do this unless he caused widespread devastation to a planet by accident). He possesses the power to change his own shape as needed, and the shape of other matter or beings.

He can create illusions to fool enemies, which can allow him to peacefully resolve conflict so he can escape, or help others escape. He can fire energy blasts as an attack if he is forced into conflict. These blasts are very powerful, able to lay waste to entire battlements, weapons arrays, and star ships with little effort. Obviously there is technology powerful enough to resist these blasts. He was not able to harm Galactus with his energy blasts for example.

He also has limited telepathic ability and is able to influence a being's emotions and sensations, but given the high value he places on freedom, he is not likely to do this unless there is need since such an ability could violate someone's free will (Not to mention that it would require PC consent).

The Silver Surfer does not need to consume food or drink, nor does he need to sleep as he is sustained by the energy around him, such as retrieving energy from a star or other matter, and converting it into energy, similar to what Galactus does but on a much smaller scale. Of course he only takes what he needs and does not harm anyone or anything in the process.

He is also immune to extreme temperatures that would kill other life forms. He is also immune to most radiation and is able to survive in a vacuum environment, which is why he is able to travel through space and hyperspace. He does not need to breathe after all.

He is also capable of forming and manipulating energy constructs, manipulating gravity, absorbing and discharging most forms of energy, and he is able to phase through solid matter to escape, move through obstacles, or pursue an enemy. He also has powerful senses which allow him to detect objects and energy even light years away, and to perceive matter and energy on a subatomic level in terms of detail.

Skills

Click to expand.

Education:
Silver Surfer was educated in the sciences and has an understanding of various branches of science. While he is not a researcher, or inventor, this knowledge helps him apply his powers in the most effective way, and it also aides him as he travels through space, and to other planets.

Fighting:
Silver Surfer rarely has to fight hand to hand but when he does he can more often than not hold his own by sheer physical strength. If he is fighting someone of similar or greater strength he is not an expert fighter, he does not have any martial arts training. He knows the basics of fighting and brawling simply due to experience. His might is in his power more than his skill.

Philosophy:

Silver Surfer is well versed in the philosophies of his people and they guide him daily. He often ponders the mysteries of the universe and of life in general.

Resources

Click to expand.

Allies:
Silver Surfer does not use money, he does not string together networks of contacts, but he does have allies of sorts. He is on good terms with the Guardians of the Galaxy, mostly due to their run ins with Thanos. Thanos being an arch nemesis of the Silver Surfer, has naturally brought Silver Surfer into contact with the Guardians before. He cannot call them at will, they do not work for him, however they have mutual interests and they may call on each other to help avert a galactic or universal threat.

Silver Surfer is also an acquaintance of a being named Mantis, who although from Earth, has encountered Silver Surfer before. They worked together when the Elders of the Universe tried to destroy the universe in order to become its' new rulers. It is certainly possible that they may encounter each other again one day if another threat reunites them.

Board:

The Silver Surfer travels the universe on his board which he can call at will if he is separated from it. It is what allows him to fly through the air, through space, or through hyperspace. It is as indestructible as he is, however if it is damaged, or destroyed by some extremely powerful force, the Silver Surfer can repair it, or even recreate it by his own will. It is made of the same material that his skin is made of.

He is also able to use this board as a projectile weapon by directing it remotely at an enemy, and it is also capable of temporarily absorbing, or imprisoning an enemy, however this is not done often. The Silver Surfer values freedom above all else and would not do so unless there was no other choice. The board is controlled by the Silver Surfer's thoughts, it is an extension of his will.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

Enemies:
Silver Surfer has encountered various powerful enemies as he has wandered the universe in search of his homeworld. These enemies include Thanos, worshipper of chaos and death. This Titan native seeks to wipe out all life. Silver Surfer has encountered this being more than once, finding Thanos more than a challenge each time. Thanos has enough power to fight Silver Surfer toe to toe and even win. This makes him incredibly dangerous.

Other enemies include Reptyl, a reptilian being who hates all mammals, and who is able to survive in the vacuum of space, and who possesses great strength of his own. His tendencies to cause suffering and death have drawn Silver Surfer's attention before. While Reptyl is not as powerful as the Silver Surfer, his abilities are strong enough to challenge him.

That Silver Surfer or anyone else in conflict with Tyrant, was coincidentally "rescued" by this intervention was sheer luck. Tyrant could easily destroy Silver Surfer otherwise.

On one occasion the Silver Surfer came into conflict with the Elders of the Universe, who once attempted to destroy the universe in order to eliminate Galactus, and by default become the new rulers of the universe. Silver Surfer thwarted them with the help of a being named Mantis, who he briefly worked with at the time.

These beings are simply the ones whom the Silver Surfer has encountered so far. Their interests clash with his own, and as such he finds himself in conflict with them the most as they are powerful enough to warrant his attention. But the universe is a big place and the Silver Surfer certainly has not met every evil force whose goals involve mass enslavement and destruction. Silver Surfer will be duty and moral bound to fight them, even if they are more powerful than he is.

Energy:

This energy is usually taken from stars. If Silver Surfer does not replenish his energy, he will weaken, and fall unconscious. That would make him vulnerable and helpless before an enemy.

Also enemies who are powerful enough to drain cosmic energy from him will have an advantage.

Not only is Galactus profoundly beyond Silver Surfer in power, but Galactus could take away Silver Surfer's power if he wanted to, leaving him a normal Zenn-Lavian again. This is unlikely to happen since Galactus left Silver Surfer empowered as a curse, however Galactus is Silver Surfer's greatest foe and his greatest weakness.

Morality:
While Silver Surfer does not see it as his place to interfere with any civilization's culture, politics, wars, or evolution, he has happened across individual people who may be involved in such matters. He has helped such people on occasion if they are in danger and if he is in the immediate vicinity, especially when he has indirectly caused them to fall into danger, even when he himself stands to lose. He would even sacrifice finding his homeworld if it means rescuing someone he has put in danger. This can derail his primary goal, which is to find his people again. It could potentially put him in peril as well depending on the enemy in question.
