Statistics[edit]
Real name: Graham Autumn
Code name: Mr. Eternal

Age: ??? (He lost count somewhere during the latest Ice Age. He looks like 21 though.)
Race: Human (mutant)
Power level: 10-12
Eyes: Dark brown.
Hair: Black.
Appearance[edit]
Somewhat like a deadbeat hobo. He got uncut and unruly black hair, a pair of deep brown, nearly black eyes and a always with a cigarette in the corner of his mouth. He's of medium build, neither slender nor stout. He usually wears a pair of worn jeans and a filthy khaki shirt. He requires reading glasses. And you will never EVER see him in a superhero costume.
Powers[edit]
Graham's sole power is emphatic regeneration, which made him stop aging when he reached age twenty-one, and since then he has looked pretty much the same. So far, nothing has yet been able to put him into a permanent rest. And believe me, he has tried! Lost limbs are returned, internal organs restored and fractures are repaired. The origin of the regeneration is apparently the heart, not the brain, and in case he loses his head, his body will simply grow a new one.
Graham also has several centuries worth of experience regarding orthodox and unorthodox ways of sharing the pain. He quite literally picked up a sword in the middle of a battlefield and started swinging it until he got the hang of it.
Weaknesses[edit]
Although he's literally unkillable, Graham still got several weaknesses. To begin with, the emphatic regeneration is his only power, meaning that besides the not-dying stuff, Graham is normal human. Heck, he's not even in good shape. He also still feels pain, which means that a swift kick in the crotch usually puts him down a decent amount of time. The easiest way of dealing with Graham is to imprison him though. Graham actually got about three centuries worth of jail-time by now.
His power is also that of the empathic regeneration. Note the italics. This pretty much mean that his power is as reliable as a drunk Guide dog. Depending on Graham's state of mind, he'll either completely recover from any damage in a matter of seconds or he'll be playing dead body for several minutes. As a rule of the thumb though, the angrier Graham gets, the more reliable his regeneration becomes.
Background[edit]
Graham Autumn was born in a serene suburb outside Freedom City in the year 1951, where he would grow up and live a normal person's life. Never would anyone had imagined that Graham actually was born with the extraordinarily powerful mutation of empathic regeneration! There was only tiny little problem though. Graham wasn't aware. As he never got seriously hurt during his youth he simply didn't have any reason to suspect he was a mutant!
As a result, Graham Autumn came to grow up and live an orderly life, getting an education and then a job as an accountant. Although he at age 40 (but still looking like 21) started to have serious doubt about exactly how normal he was, it would not be before his 41st birthday when his wake-up call would finally come in the shape of a drunk and disorderly hobo who savagely attacked him and gave him the beating of his life. And that was the moment, while the hobo was still kicking him in the gut, Graham finally realized that he was special. And that was the day Graham Autumn's life took a massive turn towards the worse.
The year 1992, Graham Autumn donned a superhero suit for the first and last time in his life. In what he himself calls "The most idiotic case of middle-age crisis ever seen in the fair city of Freedom" he sought fight evil and punish wickedness. Or something like that. Graham himself is a bit uncertain about his reasoning at that time. Anyway, as his first mission he sought to stop a supervillian plotting to take over the world by going back in time to take over Napoleon Bonaparte's place in the world history, or something equally silly like that. And then everything went to hell.
Through a series of unlikely and unfortunate events Graham Autumn was thrown backwards in time, ending up somewhere before the concept of time was even invented. He also got pooped on by a woolly elephant. And since then, Graham has walked the earth, getting more and more pissed of for every second that passed. High points in his life has been things like meeting the first human beings besides himself, beating the crap out of said human beings because they looked at him funny, getting overwhelmed by prehistoric humans and getting sacrificed to X amount of gods. Repeatedly.
As time passed Graham started to create his own legacy though, and somewhere during the medieval times he had become known as Mr. Eternal (the few times people didn't mistake him for Satan and tried to burn him on a stake that is). Graham hates getting called Mr. Eternal though. Actually, if you were to make a list of the things Graham hates, it would be quite substantial.
Today Graham works as a teacher Claremont Academy where he mainly teaches history, geography and biology (he also gives supplementary lessons in P.E to superpowered student, especially if they have problems controlling their powers). He spends most of his private time as a drunk and disorderly hobo.
Personality[edit]
Graham Autumn is a bitter old man in the body of an angry young man. A long life of extreme boredom and failures has made Graham into cynical wreck hardly fit being called human. Having walked alongside humanity since it's birthday has deprived Graham of his belief in humanity, and boredom has made him nearly suicidal, making him try out a lot of stupid shit just to keep himself entertained. The only thing that seems to keep him going is a solid cup of coffee every morning and a long smoke every afternoon.
Expect him to complain and make cynical comments whenever the possibility presents itself.
Motivation[edit]
Frankly, there's few people as unmotivated as Graham. Since his first disastrous attempt at superheroics he has avoided being the hero to the best of his ability, and most of his long life has been spent running away from responsibility. Or so Graham likes to think. The undeniable fact though is that deep down bellow that solid crust of cynicism and embitterment there a heart of gold. Although Graham has killed off most of his altruistic characteristics, the part that once dreamed of being super still remains somewhere deep inside of him and this little bright light in an otherwise dark room can be called upon when someone needs his help.
But in general Graham still remains a lazy cynical bastard who'd rather ignore people in peril that help them. If he ever picks a fight with a badguy, it's either because he's bored or because the badguy in question said something to piss him off. Or maybe he's just plain drunk.
Quotes[edit]
"I'm the goddamn buttmonkey!!"
"It's the bleeding part that I dislike, not the dying part."
