Appearance

Thud is described as looking like a rook chest piece, with internal workings that dripped yellow phlegm. He is squat bodied, with a skinny neck and a normal sized head. He is clad in white cylindrical extensions of shell. He has a notch in one shoulder, making his arm appear to almost float as it is joined to the body at the armpit, not the shoulder.<ref>The case fifty-three had Sveta’s face in its hands. It was a weirdly shaped figure, squat bodied, but with a skinny neck topped with a normally sized head. All was clad in what looked like cylindrical extensions of shell, white and ornamented like a castle with crenellations. What the shell didn’t cover was ropy, yellow, and slick with fluids. A notch was inset into one shoulder, making it so one arm seemed to practically float in the air, joined to the body at armpit but not at shoulder.

I was put in mind of a ‘rook’ chess piece, given arms and legs, with internal workings that dripped phlegm. I was especially mindful that the arm that was barely attached didn’t seem strong, but it was gaining strength as its powers returned. Heavens 12.3</ref>

Abilities and Powers

His movement is augmented with shockwaves, in what is described as 'Kinetic extension', and any collision he produces releases blasts strong enough to knockdown people at significant distance.

He uses this ability to augment his movement speed, as he is able to lunge and maintain that lunging speed.<ref>He didn’t slow down. He lunged forward, and it was a weird lunge, a fast initial movement, yes, but the fast didn’t taper off. He ran over Bluestocking’s group, clotheslining them and possibly breaking a collarbone, shoulder, or two.- Heavens 12.8</ref>

History

Background
