Here it is, go tear it apart.
Name: Adam Evans
Age: 33
Gender: Male
Appearance: Not very tall, 5’10, and rather slender, 155lbs, Adam looks rather young and is quite easily placeable; with his distinct white hair and sharp gold eyes. His vision isn’t bad enough that glasses are necessary, but nevertheless he does like to wear them. Personality: It doesn’t bother Adam that he fills the stereotypical stoic soldier image; he’ll take it over succumbing to the organization’s conditioning. He can be rather unpleasant to be around, if only because of the fact that he rarely speaks, but nevertheless has a heavy presence. It can make for a rather awkward and intimidating silence. Factor in his serious demeanor, and he makes for a no-fun-allowed individual. Or at least one who doesn’t participate.
Power/Ability: Boosted Form: A bit of an unusual power, Adam is able to absorb an unidentified form of energy from any human that dies around him. While others call them souls, he just identifies it as life-force. Currently his limit is about what 30 people’s deaths would give him.
The absorbed energy doesn’t have any sort of expiry date, simply being contained until he uses it. What for? To buff himself. At the expenditure of the gathered energy, he’s able to increase his body’s capabilities; anything from increasing his reaction time or physical strength, to even bolstering the body’s natural ability to heal. Speaking in general, a single death’s worth of energy seems to increase the affected attribute by two-fold for several hours.
That’s not to say he can simply amplify the physical strength of his body thirty-fold though. The more he buffs a single attribute, the less return he experiences. The first use would double, the second might double again, the third would likely be around a 75% increase, and so forth until there’s no additional gains. There’s also the problem of progressively shorter durations for the increases; meaning at too many uses, not only do the benefits disappear, but the time said boosts last becomes incredibly short. It’s still useful in a cinch, but it’s not ideal.
Lastly, Adam can’t simply boost one attribute of the body and expect others to keep up. Super strength is useless, nay even harmful, if his bones can’t withstand the forces exerted. A better reaction speed doesn’t mean anything if his body still can’t react with his brain, or if his ligaments and tendons tear from trying to move that fast. Essentially, he’s always forced to boost his body’s durability and endurance to the same degree before amplifying any other attribute.
Team: (I will give you this)Extras: It’s morbid, but he does need to spend time in places where people die in order to “recharge” his store; so generally hospitals. The range seems to be around a mile so he doesn’t actually have to be in buildings or the like.
He was one of the first working experiments of the mysterious organization, successfully completed in 2034. He first became active a year later in 2035, and was active up until 2044 when he dropped off the grid entirely. Guess they trained him a bit too well. Adam only resurfaced in 2049 to approach the Guardian Angel Project.
- His feelings towards the organization are mixed. They did grant him superhuman abilities, but their methods were far from humane. Some of the others he met, he grew to become friends with, while he would have killed other individuals if given the opportunity. He had to kill for the organization, but then again, he had done so before they performed their experiments on him.
- He has killed Guardians dispatched by the government before. Due to the varied uses and a lack of any markers in regards to his powers, he hasn’t been identified though. And well, it’s hard to recognize someone who was in full disguise.
- In vein with his position within the organization, Adam has been physically conditioned and trained to an extensive degree. He’s proficient with a variety of weapons, alongside being a competent fighter in melees. Also has a deep understanding of combat and tactics; generally what most would expect from an elite of a country's special forces.
Yar, this is his theme. Suitably awesome throughout; never really gets upbeat, only invigorating; has a slow, even cautious, beginning; and picks up towards the end. Satisfying.
