Pokerpine the Porcupine

## Appearance

Jonathan is a pale purple porcupine with white stripes on his quills. He commonly wears a tuxedo with a green jacket when out in public, and has violet irises.

## History

Jonathan's mother worked closely quantum technology experiments. During one of such experiments, she wasn't able to clear the room in time, and was caught in a laboratory experiment. She was immediately brought into medical care to test for an examination. Unfortunately, she was found to have become sterile from the experiment.

.... or, well, at least that was thought.

A few years passed since that incident, with her mother getting married, and miraculously, the odds were beaten as Jonathan Vorcher was born.

That wasn't the end of his lucky streak though, he also seemed capable of good luck throughout his life, such as narrowly avoiding a knife impaling his head when he pulled it off the counter as a toddler, watching a bully trip and damage his neck when the bully was assaulting him, managing to duck his head coincidentally at the right time before getting hit by a football, and even being lucky enough for him and his family to come unscathed in a major traffic accident.

Not really the academically gifted child like his mother was, and definitely not a goody-two-shoes, Jonathan turned to gang activity in his late teens as a way of making quick cash. Whenever events got dangerous, he always seemed lucky enough to escape what would otherwise be a likely cause of death. He's been getting good recognition for his work, and rising in the ranks to make more cash, eventually enough to the point of being able to invest in the right businesses to start a casino.

It was this casino that caused his career to explode, and he made much more money than he originally intended to make, very rapidly becoming a multi-millionaire. The casino started being used as a hub for gang operations and the likes, but that business swiftly grew into several Vorcher Casinos, bring coined the nickname of Pokerpine Vorcher.

## Personality

### Mannerisms

Vorcher is a cocky individual, for good reason. He's rich, well known, and seemingly untouchable as he lives his successful life of crime.

He'll jokingly belittle or flirt with people on occasion purely to see their reactions, and his form of compliments usually revolve around throwing his money away and giving people free cash.

His whole demeanor is hidden in public of course, so that he keeps a good public reputation.

### Likes

* Making money
* teasing others

### Dislikes

* people who tend to be serious all the time
* competition

### Habits

Vorcher tends to lose his attention to relatively boring topics rather easily, and he would usually solve this dilemma by interrupting the person talking with a topic change.

### Hobbies

* Playing poker, obviously
* Relaxing in fancy bars
* Swimming in his Olympic sized pool
* Flirting
* Hosting Parties

## Equipment

### RHG-2

A pistol-sized railgun specifically designed to reduce recoil, Jonathan makes sure to always keep one on hand, magazines filled, in the case that he ever needs to get lethal.

## Strength

### Equipment Might

Street Tier with pistol (fires 40 grain bullets at 2 kilometers per second, carrying more kinetic energy than a 12-gauge shotgun)

## Speed

### Projectile Speed

Hypersonic with pistol (bullets move near Mach 6)

## Abilities

### Quantum Reality Probability

Whenever he feels like he is threatened, his passive ability kicks in to find a nearby outcome that would make him feel 'safe', altering the near vicinity around him in order to achieve it. This ability is most effective when there is a threat to Vorcher's life, or if his adrenaline kicks in.

People can walk in the way of pursuers at convenient times, technology could fail to function, dust can get into people's eyes, things can conveniently fall around but not on him, weapons can be found within reach, enemy weak spots can conveniently be hit, and the list goes on.

With determination, Jonathan's ability can also be used in non-life threatening scenarios as well, though this takes active thinking from his part. It could increase his probability of good fortune to the point of winning multiple gambling games, or even using the right dose of charisma to persuade others into getting what he wants.

## Flaws

Jonathan is not invincible with this ability. It does not increase probability of events going in his favor to 100%, meaning he has to actively put in work to make sure the best case scenario for him comes out. This means he can't just sit still when a gun is being fired at him and always expect it to be guaranteed that the gun fails.

This ability is focused around Jonathan only. This means it could potentially negatively affect his allies in an attempt to defend himself.
