Character Info:

Full Name: Doctor Mohinder Suresh
Called By: Mohinder or Suresh
Age: 33
Canon: Heroes. Canon Point is 3x1 (Second Coming, post injection, pre waking up on the dock.
History: Here

Personality: Mohinder is a professor and a geneticist from Madras, India. He has a PhD in parapsychology and use to teach at the University of Madras. He has always attempted to follow in his father's footsteps, trying to get recognition for his own work while building off of his own father's research. Mohinder and his dad have a very rocky relationship stemming from the death of his older sister. Mohinder was conceived to produce antibodies for his sister, who had contracted a virus that attacked and killed any evolved human being. Though he was born with those antibodies, it was too late to save his sister.

Despite Mohinder's clash with his father, who had run off to America to try and find other evolved human beings, Mohinder still defends him. When he is told that his father died, Mohinder takes a leave of absence from his teaching position, packs up what he can of his father's work, and goes off to New York City to discover why his dad was killed and to continue his work.

Mohinder is a born skeptic, as any good scientist ought to be. Though he does believe his father's theories about evolved humans and super powers, he needs to see them for himself, first hand. He is quick to dismiss other people at first that claim to have powers but can't reproduce them. Conversely, he is also extremely gullible and easy to dupe. Over and over again, Mohinder's want-it-to-be-true nature has gotten him into trouble. He rarely stops to think through certain situations and is caught up in the plots of others because he feels himself powerless to do anything else. Despite all of his book smarts, Mohinder rarely shows signs of having common sense.

Mohinder has an inflated sense of morality. Though he is sometimes forced to do things outside of his comfort zone, more often than not, he rebels when pushed too far even if that gets him injured. As a former employer put it, Mohinder's moral compass points true north. He tries to be heroic and though he is far from cowardly, he is very easy to spook. He can be annoyingly persistent at times and is willing to drop his entire life for causes he believes in with very little provocation.

That said, Mohinder finds it very hard to forgive people that have wronged him. Though he is a religious man (the Hindi faith does not conflict with science as some monotheistic belief systems do), he also embraces revenge. Mohinder can be as cruel as he is kind and generally takes it upon himself to deal with problems (and usually in somewhat stupid ways that puts him into more danger than it is likely worth). He gets very focused and sometimes can refuse to see reason.

Though Mohinder has had long term relationships, and actively accepts romances, he has never been married and is childless. Just the same, he considers himself a father to Molly Walker, a little girl he helped to save from the same virus that killed his sister. For a few months, she lived with him in his apartment in New York along with Matt Parkman, who Mohinder took in to help him recover from his gun shot wounds during a battle against the super powered villain, Sylar, at the final show down of Season One.

Mohinder genuinely loves Molly and has since sent her off to stay with his mother in India where he thinks she'll be safe.


3 Interesting Character Facts:
1 - Mohinder struggles with his faith, though Hinduism is very accepting of science.
2 - He is a vegetarian in reverence to his upbringing by his religious mother.
3 - He speaks Hindi and English fluently and can also speak a little French and Spanish.
4 - He's entirely too pretty for life.
5 - His accent is British because he attended school at Cambridge and learned to speak English through British teachers when very young.

Powers: A detailing of Mohinder's abilities can be found here. As he will be coming into the Station just having injected himself. His first manifested power is extreme super strength (he crushes a gun and throw people several yards with a back hand). In a few days, he'll discover he can crawl up walls, has improved senses, flexibility, and excessive stamina. He can fall from at least two stories and land on his feet, uninjured.

However, as time progresses, he will also realize he's made a serious error in his calculations. He'll first grow sporadic scales that slowly creep over his back and shoulders and then around his eyes and face. His breathing will become impaired. He will also start excreting a sticky, spiderweb-like substance and have a drive to start caccooning people as he becomes more animalistic.

Special Skills: Mohinder is able to cook, speak four languages, and lecture like a pro.

Action Tag Sample:
Now I don't want to alarm anyone... [People always say this just before they say something alarming...] But I've detected something strange and...well...living...in the air being recirculated throughout the station. I would highly suggest--

[A klaxon cuts him off and there's a sudden shift of the image as Mohinder picks up his papers and the comm. The picture resituates itself on his face before he grimaces.]

Everyone needs to get to the medical labs. There are higher level of biological filters there. Try only to breathe when you must until you arrive and go through contamination!
