05. Amber had only been gone for 5 months, when an Outbreak of Zombies began.

06. With Blue and Pink's aid, Jack learned survival techniques, stealth, and basic combat to survive the growing hordes.

07. The trio travelled 2115.8 miles in 1 year. The main time consumer was finding away across the English Channel. Under Jack's instistense of finding Amber.

08. They dealt with Bandits, New Governments, Freedom Fighters, Zombie Sympathises (they were the strangest), and plain old Bat-Shit Crazies.

09. The worst part was the Zombie adaptation. They went from Walkers, to Runners, to Jumpers, to Hunters, to Brawlers, to Slashers, it went on and on.

10. They finally managed to find Amber, but their reunion only last 4 days before Jack became infected. He died blowing a horde apart to cover the Travellers' escape.

11. Then he woke up, with regained sentience. He discovered that instead of mutating in the way others did. He could absorb the other Zombies and gain their mutated abilities.

12. He tore the world apart, in search of his love. Finding only Pink, stood before a Vortecz. He later earned the title - Black, the Unstopping Traveller.

13. His mutant abilities allow him to consume any animal or person, taking their forms, memories, and biomass.

14. He has collected so much bone, blood and flesh, his durability and strength has enhanced to phenomenal levels, and continues to do so with each victim.

15. He focuses most of his bone tissue towards his skull to protect his brain, the only vulnerable part of a Zombie.

16. He can use excess biomass to repair and regrow any missing body parts, though the more he uses this, the more strength he has give up to use it.

17. As a Zombie, being dead means no need to breathe. He cannot run out of stamina and work his body for centuries without pause.

18. The pain receptors are also completely shot, so he feels nothing, at all, ever.

19. This can be a hinderance when in battle as he can sometimes be unaware if a limb is in critical condition mid battle. 

20. He is also a carrier of the Zombie virus, if his touch, or any of his blood gets in through an orifice or wound, you are doomed.

21. During one stage his went feral due to 966 years of solitude and non-stop cross-reality hunting.

22. His senses of sight, hearing, smell increased, giving him a homing/tracking range of 794 miles.

23. He's gained oversized claws, boulder fists, a prehensile whip, a blade arm, a spiked shell, and tons more.

24. Should Black put all of his bio mass into strength, he can lift up 2 million tons and hit with the force of a nuclear shockwave.

25. In contrast, placing all of his bio mass into defence allow him to tank 150,000 psi. That's nearly 3900 kangaroos simultaneously kicking you.

26. His maximum speed is 230 mph. However his acceleration is far less impressive, taking nearly 33 minutes of constant running to reach it.

27. He can jump roughly 80 feet far, and 623 feet high.

28. His only physical vulnerability is his brain, meaning he can be defeated by electricity and disintegration. (He can also be killed by blunt force....if you can break through his impossibly thick skull).

29. He broke out of his feral stages when he killed a young ninjutsu master, who had suffered the loss of everything except his four infantile children.

30. In his guilt he spent his time in that reality raising those children, using the memories of the fallen master to train himself, and thus them in the art of ninjustsu.

31. While exploring this art, he also took them on a trip to China to learn both Taoist and Buddhist culture. He uses these teachings to keep himself from reverting to his feral mentality.

32. He has become a master of Ninjutsu weaponry. Shuriken, Naginata, Nunchaku, Sai, Manriki, a variety of swords, and many more.

33. Black is incredibly loyal to Amber, always holding her word higher than either Pink's or Blue's.

34. The only times he goes against her is if he can see huge risks, and 'if' factors in her decisions.

35. Due to his zombification, most of Jake's bodily functions have shutdown, including his digestive system. He can't eat, even if he needed to.

36. Repair and reattaching broken parts of his body naturally requires less biomass consumption than regrowth.

37. Black can alter his lungs to superhuman levels. His inhale can have the suction power of a 200 mph tornado. And his exhale can have the force of a high pressure fire hose.

38. If his limb is severed he can re-consume it, though he doesn't get as much biomass from it.

39. He doesn't have access to as much unique or iconic weaponry like the others, due to most of his power being in his own body.

40. Thanks to his birth reality and 500 years of hunting, Black has the greatest survival skills, adaptability and reflexes.

41. Those skills have proven to make him the Traveller's best combatant.

42. He has the best, most offensive wit. Which he always uses to shut down Blue and Black.

43. Amber is also a victim of his harsh humour but a very one.

44. 50% because of his devotion to her, 50% because it ends up with him decapitated and the head locked away.

45. Blue and Pink sometimes counter/payback Black by treating him like a pet. However this only mildly annoys the mutant.

46. The most annoying time was when he and Blue were running from a storm, and Blue hopped into horseless carriage and threw the reigns around Black's neck, and began screaming "HYAH!".

47. Consuming wild animals has given Black mainly natural talents to exploit.

48. He is able to use active camouflage, liquefy his body, and heal himself without using his biomass, BY PURRING. (Though this method isn't as effective.)

49. Black discovered and consumed a creature called the Planarian Flatworm. Which can regrow any body part including it's head.

50. While this power is nothing special to Black, the important part is that the new head can retain the former's memories. Black is able to make clone of himself when his head is cut off.

51. Ninja stealth, body manipulation, and the ability to morph into those he kills make Black the stealthiest member of the Travellers.

52. It's unclear who out of Black and Pink can take the most hits, with their density shifting and wards respectively. Testing them against each other is what lead to their competitive nature to one another.

53. He has consumed the greatest and most dangerous minds of history. (Einstein, Nietzsche, Jim Jones and many others.)

54. His opinion is like a fly's eye, it has thousands of perspectives.

55. When mediating, Black can zone out completely. Appearing in Rigor Mortis until disturbed or finished.

56. Mediation also allows Black to achieve perfect Zen. He has even discovered away to radiate tranquillity. His presence causes all creatures to calm, stops storms, earthquakes, and natural disasters. His touch can even still the ocean. His son christened this state with the name, Bodhisattva.

57. Black claims that its during this state that he can actually feel the sensations of touch again.

58. His son's name choice for the Bodhisattva inspired Black to call his feral side the Guai Mo. As a sort of opposition to his Bodhisattva state.

59. Black's utility and balance between these personas makes him both a feared and respectable being. Able to intimidate giants into servitude, and amass thousands of disciples. 

60. Being dead means that he technically has no physical soul. Essentially making him a Golem with human sentience.

61. This had no real significance until they came across the Soul Mate Reality. In this reality, the souled could temporarily leave their body and fuse with the soulless, creating an embodiment of their power and relationship. All the Travellers have attempted to fused with Black:

62. Blue's attempt at fusion with Black failed, due to his electric abilities being connected to his soul and electricity is incredibly harmful to Black. They have yet to find a way to fix this.

63. When fused with Pink, Black becomes a grotesque draugr/skeletal being, standing 270 feet tall, with magenta glyphs across his body. The size increase comes with great strength and durability. His most unique ability is his Enchanted Epidemic. He breathes out a thick gas cloud of enchanted viral germs that lay dormant until activated. Depending on choice, activating the enchantments can cause the victims to freeze, combust, paralyze or become infected with Black's virus. This fusion was named after the magical justice-seeking corpses of irish legend, The Revenant.

64. His favourite fusion is with Amber. This fusion is a 9 foot divine, beauteous, curvaceous ravenette who is......completely nude (though to maintain some decency, is a Barbie doll). She has superhuman strength; speed that far surpasses what Black naturally possesses; and an absolutely gorgeous singing voice. But her most important feature is her Perfection. Her body is hydrophobic, super repellent, and INDAMAGABLE. She does not burn, bleed, bruise, or break. Her invulnerability only lasts as long as Amber's soul can stay in Black's body. This form is named after the sensual Greek spirits of nature, The Nymph.

65. The human soul can only exist out of its natural body for roughly 2 hours, and needs to wait twice as long to recuperate.

66. Amber and Black have been training to maintain this form for longer, and return to it faster however. They've only managed to increase the duration of fusion by a few minutes, giving them more emergency return time. However recovery still takes the normal 4 hours. They did this because:

67. Each fusion's personality embodies the shared relationship of its components. And the fuser and fuse states that it feels like doing what they love to do/would love to do with each other.

68. Revenant loves to intimidate and scare mobs. He relishes in fighting armies, and detests single opponents. He's loud and obnoxious, but also patient and unfazed by death. Pink and Black states that being Revenant feels like hunting, sparring, and having dumb competitions (e.g. Arm Wrestling, Shouting Contests and Headbutt First Blood).

69. Nymph has a sultry voice, and a seductive walk. She is very physically expressive, almost always moving her body sensually. (It even makes Pink uncomfortable sometimes). She likes to tease flirts and opponents alike. Black and Amber refuse to inform us what being Nymph feels like they are doing together.

70. Black has night vision, aura vision, all the EM visions, Fisheye Vision and Eagle Vision.

71. He even has tiny eyes on the back of his skull. Literal eyes in the back of his head.

72. Black never transforms his legs, only his arms.

73. He says that because of his lack of touch sense, he sometimes loses track of what he's doing with his legs. Using new legs types would just be a new more annoying way to inconvenience himself.

74. Fusing some of his arm augments to make new weapons. (e.i. Hammerfist + Whipfist + Secondary Hand = Knockerfist | Bladearm + Clawfist = Slashfist | Whipfist + Clawfist = Barbfist).

75. Black and Blue love to play board games and are complete geeks. They love to play D&D together. Black is a Half-Orc Wizard - Chaotic Neutral. Blue is a Gnome Rogue - Lawful Good. They have played thousands of dungeons together.

76. Black fanboyed when he met Wee Jas, Suel Goddess of Death, Law, Vanity & Magic. As a token of appreciation of his praise and loyalty, she gave him an enchanted mark. Granting him immunity to intense heats.

77. Black has had to deal with numerous Death Gods due to his "condition".

78. The one "member" of the Travellers that Black truly hates is White. And for good reason.

79. He often blames Amber's cold attitude, and the low points in their relationship on her freeloading psycho brain neighbour.

80. Black's favourite weapons are Ballistic Knives. Silenced Range; Sharp and Stabby; Make you look badass; What's not to love?

81. The Travellers came up with the code "Pin" for Black. This is an order to hold, block, or secure something until what he is containing gives up or dies. Because Black can hold on forever without aging.

82. Black is often very gullible at least compared to the others, it still takes some convincing, and powerful (but easily falsified)evidence. The Travellers have often come to a world where Black is fighting on the opposite side.

83. This is due to his weak mind. He is easily hypnotised, controlled, and manipulated by those with the most silvery tongue and mental skill.

84. Because of this, Black has developed Pistanthrophobia and hates seeing those he considers friends being betrayed.

85. Black had one solo Jump which he refuses to talk about. All we can get out of him is:
        - Nuked Everywhere
        - Bob
        - Killer Indian Bunny Rabbit
        - Sparky
        - Go Compare Man
        Most Repeated Phrase: "Why couldn't that Rabbit Die?"

86. Black has terrible comprehension of Time. He can't keep track of when and how long ago something happens. It often leads to him being late, or early and makes him unreliable to keep track of things.

87. Despite this he has amazing comprehension of Time Physics. Paradoxes, Time Loops, Quantum Displacement; he knows it all.

88. He can do this, thanks to training from Chroniclers who taught him to be a Time Charter, able to read Timelines and detect, analyse and identify anomalies with ease. (Still terrible at keeping track of personal time).

89. Being able to shift genetic code and body structure, means Black is every gender and race. He's a Trans-Human.

90. Despite being undead and the tank of the group, Black has come close to death more times than the others, Blue in second place by about 50 less. 

91. Several of those times he did die, but was fortunate enough to be brought back by a Death God, or some of Pink's Necromancy and Rule Braking Tattoo.

92. Black never sleeps, being dead and all, so he often jumps onto Night Shifts and Jobs, also first choice for stakeouts.

93. Black has a string technique, where he leaves a thin trail of biomass, allowing him to "teleport" back to place he has previously been.

94. Sometimes the others find clues and instructions from Black within the reality's history.

95. The fact that Black has never been killed (permanently) has shocked scientist and scholars who have experiment on him.

96. Everyone is scared when Black is angry, even Amber.

97. Black also insists that during meditation, he sometimes see a red nebula that he can feel calling to him, but can never understand what it is saying.

98. He is called the Body of Memory and Will. Due to his stubborn refusal to die or let his allies down, and his recollection of ages from personal and "borrowed" experience.

99. Whenever he becomes a legend in worlds with superhuman people in them, he challenges them to force him into using 100% of his power.

100. He is confident, certain, no he damn well knows, no one can do it.
