Power Outage

**Debut** | TBA

**Power Outage** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Narushatoid from Yyvtsrehc, the shared moon between the planets Hominis and Amperium.

## Appearance

Power Outage is a gangly, scrawny humanoid creature with elongated, curled fingers and pointed shins in place of feet, mostly covered in a thin black and red containment suit, with a thick collar, large shoulder pads, compartments around his hips, and three small spikes coming off each of his calves. Visible through his head, hands, and elbows, Power Outage's true form underneath is made of translucent white gel, spotted with large bright gray dots and surrounding a dark pink blob of membrane tissue that acts as his "head," possessing wrinkles and small eyes.

Power Outage wears a Simplicitrix symbol on each of his shoulder pads from where his arms emerge from.

## Powers

* Power Outage can completely nullify and negate the powers and abilities of anyone that comes in contact with and becomes contaminated with his translucent gel, such as disrupting one's ability to summon and conjure elemental attacks, penetrating through force-fields and various kinds of defense, and rendering opponents weakened by negating regenerative factors or specific immunities.
	+ Power Outage can radiate his power nullification in an energy field, although its radius is very limited and only a few feet around him.
	+ Power Outage can fully deactivate and remove temporary abilities, such as the randomized superpowers of a Omnibusveraxisapien, or the bestowed powers from a Corvirapteryx.
* Power Outage can detect and differentiate the superpowers and strengths of his opponents after he has used his power negation onto them at least once before, referring to them with their "kinesis" terms and calculating their applications, limitations, and potential counters.
* Power Outage has limited shapeshifting and regeneration, the former enabling him to solidify his elongated fingers into stiffened claws to slash into defenses to disable them.
* Power Outage has enhanced stealth, allowing him to get the jump on opponents.

## Weaknesses

* Power Outage's body makes him nimble, but gives him mediocre strength.
* Stated above, Power Outage's power negation field has very limited range and only really works best for when he is near someone, but cannot make physical contact with them, such as intangible opponents.
* Power Outage can only detect powers, not weaknesses, although may be able to calculate what they could be judging by their abilities.

## Etymology

* Power Outage's name refers to his power disruption abilities.
* Power Outage's species name comes from the Russian translation for "disrupt."
* Power Outage's planet name is a play on the word "callous," meaning to disregard feelings, just like how Power Outage disregards powers, while also nodding towards the last name of his *RWBY* inspiration, Tyrian Callows.

## Trivia

* Power Outage is the third member of the power manipulation aliens, with the first being Power Gel and the second being EmPowerment.
* While EmPowerment's abilities are inspired by the *Aura Amp* Semblance of Jaune Arc from *RWBY*, Power Outage's own abilities were inspired by the unnamed *Aura Disruption* Semblance of Tyrian Callows.
	+ His species name being a Russian translation was because the earliest known documentation of *The Scorpion and the Frog* is within a 1933 Russian novelization, *The German Quarter*, by Lev Nitoburg, alluding to the fact that Tyrian's fairytale allusion is that of the Scorpion.
* Power Outage's base was originally outlined by Shark for one of his own fanon aliens, and with his permission, was reused for Power Outage, where WTB suggested his name, abilities, and the idea that he was related to Power Gel and EmPowerment.
