### Skills

**Self-Levitation:** Foster has the ability to use their energy/life force to pick their feet up off the ground and hover/float. He can also essentially fly using this ability.

**Telekinesis:** Foster also has the ability to lift objects. The size and weight varies on their energy level and temperament.

**Electronic Manipulation:** A parallel to telekinesis which manipulates any object externally, Foster also has the gift to manipulate electronic devices internally. Foster can only manipulate electronics in the same room as him, and the time of how long he can internally control and manipulate varies depending on the complexity of the object in question. In theory, Foster can lift his hand and close his eyes to know the exact structure of the device in question.

**Electrokinesis:** Foster is able to create, manipulate, and project bolts of electricity aka lightning bolts from their own energy source.

**Restoration:** Foster has the ability to understand how technology and electronics are assembled. He can use this ability for either construction, destruction, or reconstruction. However, if something is completely destroyed - Foster cannot restore it.

**Electricity Absorption:** Foster can create and manipulate his own electric current. It is the foundation of his abilities and how everything works.

**Ability Replication:** With only a touch, Foster could potentially "copy" an ability that he likes. It depends on how compatible the ability is to the rest for how long it may stay.

**Psychic Shield:** Because Foster's abilities all rest within his mind, Foster is less prone to psychic intrusion than most. He is still vulnerable to those with higher psychic ability. This is also very taxing for Foster so it weakens the more it is provoked or attacked. It is not controllable by him at all.

**Appearance Alteration:** Foster has naturally blonde hair and blue eyes but with this ability, can change some features with nothing more than a blink and a flick of the wrist. He typically only uses this ability to change the color of his hair, changing it whenever it suits him to do so. If Foster is in the crying stage though, all appearance changes will be undone and Foster will return to his normal appearance. This also cannot cover any scarring to the "base form" so all scars, any tattoos he chooses to have, and any other distinct markings will remain unchanged.

**Black Eyes:** If he overuses his abilities, Foster is prone to black goo leaking from his eyes. If he continues after that, he will leak black goo from his ears and mouth before he could potentially die.

## Background

### History

*"You see, before Wilder was gone I had a layer of protection between myself and the world around me. He filled my life with games and jokes and fun. And when he was gone, it was all stripped away. He could not protect me anymore. That is when the guards began to…and that is when I first questioned who I was. I was six years old when that happened. And that was when the experiments grew in intensity. I had always had Wilder to explain the experiments to me, the exercises. But suddenly, I had to learn them on my own.*

*The guards would call me names that I did not fully understand for many years. They would call me stupid, slow, defected, incomplete, a burden. Many things. That was when I learned that sometimes you do not need the definition of a word to find them harmful and cruel. I tried my best to hear Wilder in my head. He used to tell me that I was not stupid, I was unique. My brain worked differently and that made me special. But the experiments did not care if I was unique. They did not care that bright lights made me want to run away and hide. They did not care that I flinched each and every time a guard yelled in my ear with no remorse. They simply did not care about anything that they did to me.*

*At eight years old, I had been alone for so very long. I did not speak anymore. I did not smile. I did not cooperate with experiments which made the abuse worse. I just hoped for the day when either death came for me or someone came to rescue me. Whichever came first did not bother me. It was then, when I was at my lowest, that Wilder and my mother came back for me. I will never forget that cell door opening and Wilder walking through the door like he had just come back from training.*

*He was older and so was I. But for the first time in three years, I felt complete again. He took me out of there and that was when I learned that I had been born a twin. My twin, Maverick, had been raised separately from us. But as soon as I knew about them, and met them…it was like I had always known him. I trusted him immediately. And it was also at that time I met my mother for the first time. My mother was powerful, beautiful. I also learned that I was different from my brothers. I abandoned the name Morgan and chose Foster from a book of names.*

*Foster was special. Foster was me. It fit me more than any name I had heard before. I felt safe. I felt happy as Foster. Even if people would look at me in confusion when Wilder would talk about his brothers and then they saw me. My mother did not understand what had happened to her baby girl. But her baby girl had been me all along. I feel no sadness about this. It is simply who I am. I know who I am. My own definition never changed. It was just better defined.*

*We spent the next several years living in Washington, Wilder and my twin. Our mother was in and out of our lives but I do not mind. It is simply how our lives were. Wilder has recently decided to explore the Nexus but I cannot wait any longer. It is my turn now. My disabilities will not limit me. I am coming to protect my brother."*

### Motivations and Goals

Explore a new world, meet back up with his brother, learn new skills

## Room

Foster Black's room in the Harmony Quarters of the Nexus Hub beautifully balances elements of nature and technology, mirroring his deep appreciation for both realms. Upon entering, you're greeted by a vivid burst of colors. The walls are adorned with lush greenery, and hanging vines cascade down like living curtains, creating an almost ethereal ambiance. The vibrant blues and electric greens adorning the room's walls infuse the space with a sense of dynamic energy and vitality.

In one corner of the room, you'll find an impressive collection of potted plants and succulents. These verdant companions thrive under Foster's care, their leaves resplendent in shades of green that resonate with his profound connection to the natural world. The plants are thoughtfully arranged, imbuing the room with a tranquil and soothing atmosphere amidst the Nexus Hub's bustling energy.

A classic radio, lovingly nicknamed "Beethoven", rests on a wooden shelf. Beethoven stands as a symbol of Foster's fascination with electronics and his knack for fixing things. This vintage radio often plays soothing melodies, providing Foster with a familiar and comforting backdrop to his activities. It's a space where he can unwind and dive deep into his passions, embracing both the organic beauty of nature and the boundless possibilities of technology.
