Sound Barrier

**Debut** | TBA

**Sound Barrier** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Strigvisager from the planet Obstriekt.

## Appearance

Sound Barrier is a humanoid, muscular, owl-like alien with a large head and eyes. His body is mostly covered in tan feathers, with lighter tan feathers on his face, underbelly, and stripes on his arms. His hands are built with five digits, while his feet have two in the front and one in the back. He has a tiny beak. Sound Barrier wears black pants with red details.

Sound Barrier wears the Simplicitrix on his belt.

## Powers

* Sound Barrier can project outwards perpetually vibrating fields of sonic energy that amplify all soundwaves that pass through any of them. Engulfing the amplification field around himself can turn even anything he says into a concussive sonic screech, and engulfing the field around opponents can violently stun and deafen them once sound reaches them.
	+ Sound Barrier can alternatively negate the passive effects of his amplification fields through solidifying the soundwaves currently inside of them, allowing nothing else to enter through them while also turning them into durable force-fields.
	+ When shrouding himself in his amplification fields, Sound Barrier's echolocation skills become incredibly precise, allowing him to detect the faintest of sounds up to several miles away from him.
* Sound Barrier has parabolic hearing, allowing him to focus his hearing onto certain areas around him, muting any unwanted sounds, thereby also making him selectively immune to being deafened by his own powers and any other sonic-based attacks.
* Sound Barrier is capable of very limited flight through flapping his wingless arms, although he can keep himself in the air and quickly change direction through propulsion of his sound amplification.
* Sound Barrier has enhanced durability, agility, balance, reflexes, and senses, specifically hearing and vision.
* Sound Barrier has a sharp beak and talons.

## Weaknesses

* Although immune to being deafened, Sound Barrier is not immune to being thrown back by his own ability, meaning he must anchor himself to the ground with his talons before releasing such a powerful attack.
* Sound Barrier can remotely control where his sound amplification fields can appear, although they take a second to change positions.
* Sound Barrier must have enough sound inside his fields for him to solidify them into force-fields.
* Sound Barrier's powers can be completely absorbed and nullified by Tacetaceans.

## Etymology

* Sound Barrier's name is a play on the sound barrier, and a literal barrier such as a shield.
* Sound Barrier's species name is a play on the Latin words "strigis," meaning shriek, and "vis ager," meaning force field. "Strigi" is also present in Strigiformes, the order of the owl.
* Sound Barrier's planet name is a play on "obstruct" and the Latin word "striek," meanign shriek.

## Trivia

* Sound Barrier's powers and weaknesses were made by WTB.
	+ Sound Barrier's abilities were originally just sonic force-fields as a literal definition of his name, although upon realizing Ultimate Echo-Echo can do the exact same, they were changed into the final product, but with the original idea still intact as an additional ability.
