Necroplast is pretty much a simple vagrant cape-for-hire. His bodily appearance is publicly known, as he hasn't put much effort into concealing his body. His face, however, is usually covered. He tends towards urban environments, and the telltale sign of him being in a location previously is the presence of empty pockets of space where something solid used to be. Though known for criminal activity, his committal to his own personal code over the conflicts of heroes and villains have kept him from notable success.

He usually attempts to cover his face, though the dangerous roles he takes in combat combined with the indiscrimination of his power's effect have forced any mask he obtains to fail in its function oftentimes. Though he does continue covering his face, this seems to be done more-so because 'It's what capes do,' rather than any genuine attempt at preserving a secret identity.

'''Reclaimers:'''
 
Necroplast receives an alert to the Reclaimer appearance and subsequent attack on Imperial Street against Protectorate Tinkers: Zipdash and Magnum Opus. Shortly after arriving, he falls victim to the Reclaimers pretending to be civilians caught in a shaker field and is shot. He then proceeds to kill one by stabbing them in the heart with lead claws, stealing the shotgun and attempting to shoot the Reclaimer Cape in a white bodysuit. He misses the shot from being shot in the face himself and retaliates by pouncing on the culprit and killing them in the same manner. Exposed to the shaker field for too long, Necroplast groggily flees, frustrated that he couldn't help as much as he wished. He assists with the cleanup after the Reclaimers flee and receives a $10,000 bounty for his actions. The Kevlar vest he was given by the Devilfish Mafia was absorbed by cracked ribs, bullet wounds and various other wounds.

Necroplast doesn't put too much stock into self-reflection. An "it is what it is" type, he often takes any job he can get within the unwritten rules' parameters. Usually utilized by employers as a living shield, he acts much like a simple thug doing a job. When between jobs or traveling, he often mingles with local civilians, offering to do small favors for those that need the help. He tends to have a temper, though, and gets into fights when pissed off.

Famine:

Assigned by the PRT to Rescue Team 5, Necroplast accompanies Retcon, Witness and Buckler to a multi-story school to evacuate survivors. Acting mostly as distraction in conjunction with Buckler and Retcon, the team succeeds with no casualties, largely thanks to Retcon's healing power and Witness' leadership of the support troops. Necroplast sustained heavy damage during the battle, the metal he 'borrowed' from the air base to utilize in his body replaced with chunks of glass, dirt, concrete, etc. He seemed unfazed by the events of the day both physically and mentally on the ride back.


Reclaimers:

Necroplast receives an alert to the Reclaimer appearance and subsequent attack on Imperial Street against Protectorate Tinkers: Zipdash and Magnum Opus. Shortly after arriving, he falls victim to the Reclaimers pretending to be civilians caught in a shaker field and is shot. He then proceeds to kill one by stabbing them in the heart with lead claws, stealing the shotgun and attempting to shoot the Reclaimer Cape in a white bodysuit.
