PERSONALITY
Bright and extroverted, Radovan enjoys spending time with toher people and surrounding himself with anyone that'll spare the time to get to know him, he highly values people's opinions of him which can affect his decisions sometimes when he is trying to take into account the feelings of other people - he forgets his own feelings in favour of this though. He's enthusiastic and wears his heart on his sleeve. Curious and imaginative, Radovan sees the best of everybody he meets and will try his best to help people see the good in themselves too. That being said he is also quite good at reading people and picking up on little cues that may go unnoticed by the untrained eye. Self-assured, even-tempered, and resistant to stress, Radovan refuse to worry too much and opts to instead be self-confident when striving to achieve goals.

Empathetic, nearly to a fault, Radovan finds himself following his heart more than his head, even if that lands him in trouble along the way. He's adaptable and seeks out opportunities to better himself and other people, able to improvise on the spot when plans inevitably go haywire but also struggles to fit into a strict box, having trouble following instructions down to the T and more often than not making up his own way as he goes along, never really planning too far ahead.

Relationships are important to Radovan, he desires emotional connection with people and values having genuine and heartfelt connections rather than shallow interactions. He believes everyone deserves to express their own feelings and tries his best to be a person who can allow that space to be flexible and open with others and yourself. He's warm and friendly with anyone he meets, always trying to encourage the best out of people.

DISPOSITION

BODY MANIPULATION

Simply put, Radovan is capable of manipulating his body in various ways either entirely or only affecting sections of his body such as limbs. It isn't like shapeshifting where he can change his appearance to look like someone entirely different [i.e. hair, eye and skin colour] but can freely alter his body in other ways such as his size and height.

His body can be contorted and stretched, posessing traits similar to rubber. This allows Radovan to stretch, flatten, deform, expand, and contract his whole body and parts of his body, including limbs, torso, neck, etc. Radovan can alter sections of his body independently but it can become challenging for him to do too many different things at once. His body is able to absorb most damage from weapons like bullets but his skin can be pierced and sliced by sharper items like knives.

HERO PERSONA: RUBBERHOSE

When he is not a civilian, Radovan adopts the persona of Rubberhose, utilising his abilities to help the general public and deal with crime. He behaves like himself when acting as the hero, but turned up a notch with the self-confidence which some of his critics consider arrogance. Radovan makes quips and jokes often and does play it up a bit when the media is involved, however he also does do things on the downlow as well; it isn't all about the publicity and the fame. When he gets the downtime he does take time out of his day to put on the suit and to help with 'smaller' things, like volunteering at hospitals and homeless centres, for example.

The name takes inspiration from the rubberhose animation style.
