Thread: The Gifted (Character Profiles)

-Username Midnight -Name Adrian Frost -Alias Raijin Japanese thunder god -RacePower Electricity manipulation, Electromagnetic manipulation -RacePower Details Adrian is a metahuman with powers over electricity. He is able to generate, absorb, store, and discharge electrical energy at will, and with the ability to manipulate electromagnetic fields, control it to a degree. The first aspect of Adrian's power lies in raw electrical energy. Adrian is able to manipulate electrical fields, absorbing, storing, and releasing them at will, discharging them as raw electricity. Adrian commonly unleashes stored electricity at foes through his fingertips as lightning, quickly incapacitating most enemies, knocking them unconscious, or killing them depending on how powerful the bolts are. Adrian is capable of doing more than just firing bolts of electricity from his fingertips, he had numerous tricks he can perform with electricity that vary depending on the method of release, power and voltage of the energy, and the medium he releases it through, Examples of variations include charged bolts of electricity, arked bolts, or lightning formed into a ball and thrown at a target. Normally, Adrian's electrical powers come from amplified bioelectrical energy his body generates, though Adrian often absorbs electricity from outside sources, batteries, live wires, anything that holds a charge to gain extra power to use, it isn't uncommon for Adrian to cause small blackouts when he recharges. The electricity Adrian releases is very powerful, causing great pain and burns and loss of control for the lowest powered attacks, capable of knocking human beings unconscious with medium power attacks and killing them with high powered ones. The second aspect is that recently Adrian has discovered he can use his powers to manipulate electromagnetic fields, giving him powers over magnetism. Adrian can use electromagnetic currents to attract and repel metal objects. The size and strength of these fields are unknown, though the potential for their strength as can be seen in the young man's growth is staggering. Currently Adrian only really uses his electromagnetic powers to aid in control of electricity and personal defense, he can also use it to levitate using the various iron nodes inside his suit. Adrian is always discovering new ways to use this ability, practicing using it to lift metal objects, heavier and heavier into the air. Adrian uses quite a few gadgets in his career of a vigilante. He is a skilled welder and is quite talented when it comes to inventing things that make his perceived Job easier. Adrian utilized a metal pole as a staff, charging it with electricity and using it as a melee weapon, he also uses a metal cestus on his right hand to enhance his punches with an electrical change. Adrian also carries other gadgets, and uses a special set of clothes that has a set of iron plates in it, allowing him to levitate himself into the air with magnetic fields. Adrian's primary weakness is water, he cannot use his powers underwater, and though he doesn't lose any stored electricity if he is submerged, any attempt to discharge electricity underwater or in contact with a body of water or wet would be rendered useless, and possibly even harmful to Adrian himself. Adrian also has a limited supply of electrical energy he can release at a time, if he releases too much, he fizzles out and cannot release any more until his body generates more, or he takes more from an outside source. Also, non conductive materials can protect a person from his attacks, and foes like the man who killed his mentor, who absorb Adrian's energy are even more of a threat. It should be noted that Adrian is highly claustrophobic, afraid of tight spaces. -Background known Raijin appeared a few years ago in Metropolis, a powerful vigilante weilding lightning at his fingertips. The young man briefly worked with another hero, and when that hero vanished began working solo. Raijin moves quickly and doesn't stick around, fleeing the scene before police arrive, though witnesses describe him as an awe-inspiring sight. Raijin is a vigilante, and is wanted by police for his vigilante acts, and the fact that he is not afraid to kill more violent criminals -Background unknown by the populous Adrian was born in tokyo and raised in metropolis, the son of a successful American businessman and a japanese businesswoman was always energetic, always full of life. Adrian's parents died when he was ten, the family was visiting a local firm, investigating a recent breakthrough in a machine that could possibly power the entire city, lowering electricity bills all around the city. Initially the machine seemed to be a success, but an error made by one of the engineers proved deadly. The machine overloaded, killing everyone in the room save for little Adrian, who was shielded by his parents at the fateful moment. That moment branded the boy, and when his parents' company was taken over by the board of directors, Adrian was excluded, the company his father started would be handed over to him when he was twenty, though his school was already paid for, and his family's home, though empty belonged to him. Adrian has yet to receive many of the things that were to be left for him, as he has not yet graduated from the university. The explosion effectively ruined Adrian's life, branding him with several scars on his chest and face, the accident also gave him strange abilities, when he was angry, his fingers would spark, and he always seemed to carry around static electricity, Adrian discovered his powers fully when he was fifteen, and when he used them to stop a mugger from hurting a young women with a blast of electricity that killed the man instantly. The young male fled the scene, horrified with what he had done, and shortly after was found by a superhero named Aeon. Aeon trained Adrian and taught him how to use his powers to help people, how to hold back and where to strike for incapacitation and to avoid accidentally killing some one.Two years into the training Adrian had taken the name Raijin, after the Shinto god of thunder, and had became a skilled user of his powers. Aeon himself went missing, captured by a shadowy man who called himself Nihl, and killed by the same person. Adrian swore revenge that night, though Nihl seemed largely immune to his powers. Currently Adrian attends the university by day, and is a vigilante by night, he resides in an old building that has been long since slated for demolition, though hasn't been, and likely never will be, using his powers to reach the penthouse unnoticed, and using it as his home. -Appearance Civilian attire Image of upper bodyhair length scars Please ignore the katanas.
