Pulse

Pulse was an RHG created by Loopy. He is a grey stick. He was created during the Stickpage era. He is the fourth of four RHGs created by Loopy, the first being Orbit, the second being Loopy, and the third being Blot.

The Science and Story of Pulse
Before reading this, you must understand two things: one, light and darkness are living things, and two, they are in constant, never ending conflict. Light is naturally the "good" half. Without light, there would be no life. As time progressed, light particles took a form of their own. In this "evolution" they gained form and sentience. Light then split off, becoming individual forms that resemble humans in form. However, their bodies being composed of light particles, do not take a "solid" form. Individuality is expressed by the way the light particles pattern themselves. For example, one Light's body might strobe while another's pattern is a sequence of flashes.
However, as Light evolved, they started to develop a life span. It can be explained much like the mitosis of human body cells. The light particles on a Lights body are like the cells that compose our bodies. When the light particles flash the pattern the Light's body makes, those light particles die out, but are quickly replaced by new ones. But, the more times the lights flash and they renew themselves, the more energy is needed to renew the new particles. When a Light's body can no longer produce the energy to continue the "Light Mitosis" process, the Light will go super nova, destroying everything around it in a blaze.
The Lights realized that they were a danger to life, and moved away from any planet that could support life. But life continued to appear on more and more planets, so the Lights would need to come up with something else to prevent the disaster that would eminently follow the end of their life cycles. The answer was to find a "solid" being and make it the Light's host. The solid creature would absorb the Light's energy and quickly die. The Light' decided they would only inhabit the elderly and sickest of animals, but under no circumstances would they EVER inhabit a creature with a soul or true sentience. This whole process is how Light's have lived for millennia.
Darkness developed much simpler but much worse. Darkness, while living, never truly became sentient. It instead remained as an amoeba, whose sole purpose in its existence is to consume everything. Light can always beat darkness, for a light is brightest in the dark. But light can only shine so far into darkness. Because Darkness's only concern is for its continued existence, it naturally decided to do the only thing it could to combat the light: consume everything in the universe and become so large that not even the Lights could shine all the way through it. So Darkness's mission became to enshroud everything in the universe.
Humanity came around only recently. They called the Lights "stars" and the Darkness "space." Never would they have thought that the empty "space" and the distant "stars" were living things in their own right.
Now Darkness had nearly filled the universe. All the emptiness of the universe was filled with it, but the Lights had successfully kept at bay. Light had no need to further evolve because it was successful at fighting the Darkness. Unfortunately, Darkness HAD a reason to evolve, and it did.
It caught the Lights completely off guard. The Darkness realized the threat the Lights posed to its consumption of the universe, and became hostile. Never before had Darkness targeted Lights, but it did. Darkness began unnaturally consuming Lights.
But the Darkness would not have been able to react to the birth of a certain Light. Pulse. The first to have a pulsating light-form, Pulse was doomed to die quickly. His lights gave off so much energy when they pulsated, there was no possible way for his body to keep up with the energy used. Pulse was flying to find a host when the Darkness attacked. It started to pursue Pulse after it had killed all the other Lights, and wasn't far behind him. Pulse knew he didn't have time for this; he was too close the planet Earth, and he was essentially a ticking time bomb. Pulse acted fast, and started blasting the Darkness with pulses of light. The use of that energy would have lowered the time Pulse had left by a long shot; there was no more time and Pulse needed a host now.
The only nearby planet was Earth, home of the humans. Pulse made his way towards the blue planet...
Leo went out that night to get some night time parkour practice in. The city was his playground, and he made his way silently across the rooftops. Using a homemade grapple, he scaled a seventy story building with ease. It was a beautiful night, and he wanted to get a good view of the unexplained astronomical anomaly that was occurring. The stars were flashing and then disappearing, putting on a brilliant light show. From the top of the skyscraper, he had the best view in the city. Nothing up here to obstruct his view...
"What's that?" he asked himself as a star brighter than the rest appeared in the night sky.
"Strange...that shooting star appears to be getting bigger..."
Leo won't remember clearly what happens next. As Pulse flew across Earth looking for a proper host, he decided it would be good to fly over the city. He wasn't expecting there to be a human male in his flight path. Completely by accident, Pulse collides with him and makes him his unfortunate host.
"It would figure that I'm the last Light and the first one to break the rule of not bonding with a soulful creature. I hate to die knowing I killed this innocent human..." Pulse thought to himself as he and Leo began plummeting towards the concrete below.
But neither Leo nor Pulse would die. A strange miracle happened instead. The two "fused" and instead of Leo's body rejecting the massive amounts of energy, thus causing both him and his Light counterpart to die, he merged with the energy. As they fell all of Pulse's memories flashed across Leo's brain, and all of Leo's memories flashed across Pulse's. The two became one. Just before they hit the ground, Leo reacted and pulled himself up and flew right passed the city skyline. Pulse's powers were now Leo's to command.
Because Pulse's body gives off massive amounts of energy, Leo has to use his new powers to vent the power or else his body will back up and explode, going super nova. Because of this necessity, Leo, now going by his alias Pulse, joined RHG to use the power.
Pulse, however, is not just absorbed into Leo. While Leo has control over the power and body, Pulse acts a presence in Leo's mind, and communicates to Leo through his head.
The two are now one, and go by Pulse, the RHG.
Because of the possibility of him going super nova, RHG officials have deemed him extremely dangerous. Powerful RHGs are sent after him to get him off the planet to prevent the destruction of earth. He is therefore targeted by some particularly high powered individuals.
He is also being constantly hounded by the Darkness. As a Light, and the most powerful of all Lights at that, the Darkness has him at a high priority for consumption.
== Powers/Abilities ==
=== Light ===
Pulse has the power to expend light energy, NOT control it. He can use the light his body generates but not the light generated by anything else. Pulse's body, of course, expends this light energy in pulses, giving a pulsating aura to his body. He can shoot light off himself, but his light form restricts him to use only pulses, which affect a wide area but are stronger the closer they are to Pulse. If Pulse is over exerted, his energy will back up causing him to go super nova. Because Pulse is no longer a being of light, Leo's human body naturally causes him to be vulnerable to anything that would kill a human being.
=== Wrist Cuffs ===
He has 2 black wrist cuffs made of a mysterious metal, he can use the cuffs like putty, he can mold them to any shape/weapon.
=== Evasion ===
He has amazing evasive abilities. Being evasive, he likes to go for precise points when in hand to hand, so while fighting he will sometimes go for pressure points to do even more damage, or just points that are weak or vulnerable to do more damage. Despite this, he likes to evade more than attack, sometimes to the point of playing with his opponents, and prefers quick, precise strikes, because he can be knocked down quite easily, so a few very strong blows and he would be finished. He is capable of using the environment to his advantage.
