==Powers and Stats==
Tier: , up to with weapons
Name: Keith Baring
Origin: The Boogie Man
Gender: Male
Age: 38
Classification: Male, Police officer
Powers and Abilities: Peak Human Physical Characteristics, Superhuman Lifting Strength and Speed, Martial Arts and Weapon Mastery (Keith is a policeman with 15 years and several tough cases of experience. Fought and defeated the Boogie Man both with a fire axe or barehanded after heavy blood loss), Limited Surface Scaling (Could rapidly climb a vertical wall), Subjective Reality (Non-combat applicable. Humans' collective will is what creates fairies and even make the Earth flat or round), Limited Stealth Mastery (Quickly found a hiding spot to sneak up to the Boogie Man as he realized he was coming), Social Influencing (Managed to redirect Keith's anger towards him to prevent him from walking into a trap. Can taunt the Boogie Man while fighting him to provoke him into attacking)
Attack Potency: Street level (Fought The Boogie Man, who could hurt him. Hit an attack dog so hard that it kept shaking for several seconds, scaring off the rest of the pack. While tired and wounded, casually dragged the Boogie Man and himself through a large window. Could fight Edward Hayes), up to Wall level with weapons (Destroyed different doors with various large weapons)
Speed: Superhuman (Has faster reflexes than David Hoover)
Lifting Strength: Likely Class 1 (Was able to wrestle with Edward Hayes while wounded. Effortlessly dragged the Boogie Man through a window with one arm while wounded)
Striking Strength: Street level
Durability: Street level (Survived a long fall while shielding Sophie Grundler. Survived parts of the ceiling falling on his head)
Stamina: Peak Human. Keith can keep investigating and even fighting after heavy bleeding from his arm (Heavy enough that without that towel, the wound would have been immediately lethal). After suffering that wound and fighting the Boogie Man, Keith survived even after being stabbed in the stomach, although that put him out of commission. Keith was hit by a large block falling on his head, which knocked him out and caused heavy bleeding, but minutes after this he was able to get up and shoot Ed then force himself to get up to follow him and Will through the building and the forest surrounding it or even stand up and physically wrestle with the former evenly.
Range: Standard Melee Range, from Extended Melee Range to hundreds of meters with weaponry
Standard Equipment: None notable
*Optional Equipment: Gun, wrench hammer, a large saw, sledgehammer, rope, knife, fire axe
Intelligence: At least Gifted. Could save Lance from a trap in less than two minutes despite the amount of distractions places there by the Boogie Man. Able to precisely pinpoint the moment a dead person had been first wounded without the time for an in-depth analysis. Quickly thought up an unconventional strategy to get past an automated sentry. Managed to think outside the box and find a third option when forced to choose one hostage to sacrifice out of two. Managed to find a way to douse a gas fire in less than three minutes. Realized that the vacation he was invited to might be a scam even before taking part in it, and understood that the Boogie Man was lying about having captured Sophie because of a minor inconsistency in his behavior. Memorized David's handwriting after seeing it once and was able to recognize it several months after.
Weaknesses: Keith will always focus on ensuring the safety of innocents over capturing criminals even when unnecessary and suffers from hallucinations, although he has gotten better by The Sandman (73)
