Origin:

Horny Toad is a paranormal, a formerly normal person who was forever changed by either the White or Black Event, strange phenomenon that bathed his world in paradoxical energies. His particular parabilities seem related to frogs or other, similar amphibians.

Powers:

Clinging (a): in addition to its ability to extend great distances and be used for various purposes, Horny Toad's tongue can also stick to objects it comes in contact with. Though limited to only this appenadage, Horny Toad's clinging works at intensity 10.

Dual Respiration (s): his skin having turned olive green after the emergence of his amphibian parabilities, Horny Toad can presumably respirate both above and below the water. This process works through his skin, which is thin and highly permeable.

Elongation (a): complementing its highly adhesive properties, Horny Toad's tongue can extend great distances! Having this power at intensity 8, Horny Toad's tongue can stretch anywhere within near missile distance of his person, making it highly effective in combat.

Tongue (a): his favorite parability, Horny Toad can perform many tricks with this appendage. In addition to the above properties, he can wield it as a blunt instrument or use it to grapple others when he wishes, doing so based on his usual Strength score

Hindrances / Augmentations:

Abnormal Apperance: Horny Toad is one of the people who presumably gained his powers after the Black Event, which seems to have created an inordinate amount of so-called parabnormals. His skin is green, his tongue is froglike, and he possesses a particularly sloping brow.

Equipment:

Switchblade (s): in the event that his tongue isn't enough to help him deal with others, Horny Toad carries a switchblade with him at all times. He can use this MS 10 weapon to inflict his Strength +2 in slashing damage with every lethal strike.

Skills:

(none)

Contacts:

One of the Forsaken, Horny Toad readily does the bidding of that group's leadership, but then he doesn't have all that many scruples to keep him from doing so. Reliable to a fault, he can readily consider his fellows contacts should he require aid of some kind.

Calling:

Outcast: a monstrous lout both inside and out, Horny Toad has mainly rejected ordinary society - assuming he hadn't already even before he became a paranormal. While he's loyal to Judge Mental, Horny Toad has no qualms about abusing normals - or even his fellow Forsaken.

Costume:

The Horny Toad's typical ensemble appears simple and utilitarian. It consists of a light green vest, dark green trousers, and a pair of brown leather boots. Whether this is what he usually wears or is just what he wore when the government came calling is unknown, however.

Personality:

Like many of the Forsaken, Horny Toad is small-minded and petty. A brutish thug, he typically thinks with his fists or his tongue, and readily resorts to violence to get what he wants. Whether he was always this violent or grew that way from being ostracized is unknown.

Story:

Little is known about the Forsaken member known as Horny Toad. Like most of the others, he was welcomed with open arms into the group by Judge Mental despite his monstrous appearance, which has engendered considerable loyalty to the Judge and his schemes within Horny Toad.

Something of a brute, Horny Toad has found membership in this underground paranormal group suits him well, because the Forsaken always seem to have need of people like him. People ready to dispense violence at the drop of a hat. Or, in a pinch, without any reason at all.

Horny Toad isn't too popular with the women in the Forsaken because he tends to be more than a little pushy, often assaulting them with his distressing tongue. But he is tolerated by Judge Mental because he does what he's told when he's told to do it, and that's what the Judge needs.

When the National Security Council came sniffing around the Forsaken's lair in Coney Island, Horny Toad was one of the first to notice them, and abducted Shudderbug before he knew what hit him. Horny Toad didn't fare nearly as well against Captain Brooklyn, however.

An independent adventurer, this costumed oddball was also looking into the Forsaken, and was attacked by Horny Toad when he entered Coney Island. This didn't go well for him, however, and Captain Brooklyn beat Horny Toad unconscious when he continued to attack the hero.

Later, when the Forsaken confronted its greatest threat, Justice, Horny Toad leapt into action after the antihero shot down the Judge. Chasing his daughter alongside Jimmy the Geek, Horny Toad tried to put Angela Tensen down, but his tongue was caught in a functioning carousel instead.

Once Justice had dealt with Judge Mental and his bailiff, Seraph, it is unknown what Horny Toad got up to next. Since Justice took over the group, it is unlikely he would tolerate the boorish behavior of those like Horny Toad, but his ultimate fate has yet to be revealed.
