Trakar — Description
I'm beginning to become suspicious when I'm able to post two pieces in two weeks without some major catastrophe occurring . . . that or I'm procrastinating when I really should be working on my college assignments. I dunno. I'll let you be the judge of that.

Either way, this here is an alien requested by the always awesome and always amazing . And for those that might be confused by the following flavor text, yes, I already did my personal interpretation of what the Martian species might be had they ever appeared (or might appear) in the Ben 10 franchise; this is 's own vision for what they might look like (though I will admit, I had some influence on the design).

With that said and done, onto the facts!

Name: Trakar

Species: Martian

Homeworld: Mars

Powers/abilities: Trakar's main abilities involve the use of his incredibly powerful senses, allowing him to hunt down targets from miles away in some of the worst conditions imaginable; these include keen senses of hearing and smell. His most developed sense however, is that of his sight, which allows him to read the auras of his opponents in order to gain a tactical vantage over them; the blue markings on his body glow when these powers are activated.

Martian's are very muscular and flexible, allowing them to throw themselves great distances by coiling their serpentine body up like a spring and catapulting themselves at their target. This also grants them a degree of strength superior to that of a human.

Being a troglodyte, Trakar is especially adept at digging, squeezing, and forcing their way through tight spaces despite his over all size, that being significantly larger than a human. This is due in part to his ability to temporarily dislocate and relocate just about any bone in his torso, shoulder, and chest in order to fit through just about any opening.

A Martian's long tail/body can be used like a whip to incapacitate foes.

Contrary to his appearance, Trakar is warm-blooded and can tolerate fairly freezing temperatures.

Coming from the inhospitable barren wastelands of Mars, the Martians are capable of surviving toxic and otherwise uninhabitable environments.

Weaknesses: Because Martian's live underground, they have trouble adapting to bright lights and foul odors that can over power their highly sensitive senses.

Trakar can only read and/or following auras for a short period of time before "the reception gets fuzzy", as Ben puts it. According to him, this lasts anywhere between five and ten minutes. Trying to track an opponent's aura in large crowds of like-minded individuals can also render Trakar's aura-reading skill useless.

There is a limit to how small of an opening Trakar can fit or force his body through. He won't be able to fit through any hole smaller than the width of his shoulders if they were dislocated.

Etymology: Trakar's name is a misspelling on the word "tracker", a person who's job it is to hunt and follow targets through various means.

Trivia: The Martians were considered a peaceful and hospitable species to the rare few that ever swung by the "unfashionable western spiral arm of the galaxy" they called home, with the highlight of their year being the visitation of a species of aliens . Nicknamed the "Popcorn Planet" by their guests, the Martians would provide them with an endless supply of the delicious treat until their guests ultimately brought the downfall of their civilization.

While most members of the species perished in the ensuing devastation, a handful of individuals retreated to the network of underground caves on Mars' surface and adapted to their new environment over the course of my generations. Since then, they have become mistrustful of outsiders and have a special hatred in their culture towards the species that led to their primitive state of being. In fact, they hate the aliens so much that they have a yearly tradition in which they will build a statue of the individual that destroyed their civilization and proceeded to burn it to the ground before frolicking about in the ashes.

Up until Trakar's debut, the Plumbers were completely unaware that the Martian's were still alive, as they were thought to have been completely wiped out long before Azmuth started collecting DNA samples for the Omnitrix. Therefore their DNA was thought not to originally be in any known Omnitrix DNA database.
