Here is my tentative superhero team leader/villain character:
Appearance:
Interference wears a caped, white enamel androgynous power suit that is easily mistaken for a robot. It looks something like the following image.
But the head has a single red camera in the center like the following image.
Name: Dr. Fang Ai Ling (Dr. Eileen Fang)
Quote:
"Last year, Earth had a visitor from another planet who had a grudge match that leveled a small town. We learned that not only are we not alone but we are hopelessly, hilariously, outgunned. And you're not the only threat. The world's filling up with people who can't be matched, that can't be controlled. You forced our hand. We had to come up with something."
-Nick Fury
Alias: Interference, or Dr. Fang
Age: 35
Gender: Female
Occupation: Government researcher/superhero team hero recruiter/team leader
Abilities:
Eileen has the ability to control phenomena that exhibit mathematical wave behavior starting with sound and light, possibly getting into gravitational waves in the future. She uses technology to augment her abilities relying on harmonics. The light and sound is emitted and absorbed/detected from her body (skin). She is also blessed with a very high intelligence.
Sound Wave Emission/Reception: Eileen can emit as well as absorb/hear audible sound as well as sound outside the audible range, allowing her to mimic voices, make herself completely silent, send out shockwaves, fire disorienting beams of ultrasound, produce the brown note, have superhearing, tell when people are lying, etc.
EM Wave Emission/Reception: Eileen can emit and absorb/see visible light as well as light outside the visible spectrum allowing her to fire microwaves, create flashbangs, camouflage, have x-ray vision, night-vision, etc.
Gravitic Wave Emission/Reception: Not yet.
Weaknesses:
Her power is purely offensive, her body has typical human frailty. Her armor protects her somewhat, but isn't that strong, and cannot withstand a direct punch from someone with 'peak physical condition'. Without her suit, her power is also extremely unfocused due to waves' natural behavior to dissipate in all directions and losing power as a function of distance. Her most powerful abilities also often requires specific conditions for maximum effect, namely the creation of acoustic/harmonic zones with the aid of her swarm.
Equipment:
Power Suit: Provides minor protection, mainly used to focus or augment her sound and light abilities, gives her control of her 'locusts'.
Surveillance Swarm: a swarm of microrobot drones in the form of beetles/locusts used mainly for spying and eavesdropping, though Eileen can also use them offensively by laying them around in intricate patterns that amplify the harmonics of an area, augmenting her powers.
Blast Bludgeon: a long, bat-like triangular rod that functions like a tuning fork. Eileen uses this to triangulate the harmonic frequencies of objects she strikes with it. After several strikes, she is able to determine the vibrational frequency that is most destructive to the particular material she is striking. She already knows what frequency works best for concrete and bone-through-flesh.
Bio:
Eileen went through her life as a model citizen. Eileen was obedient and went through life without incident. She was disciplined to achieve success and perfection in her studies through harsh parenting, and the occasional use of a makeshift sensory deprivation chamber as punishment for the rare times her grades dipped. Despite that, she seems well-adjusted enough. Her intellect allowed her to achieve a high profile academic career doing research for the government. Her research is in optronics: using photons instead of electrons for data storage and transfer. Optronics will be significantly faster and more powerful than electronics, so Eileen plans to make artificial intelligence based on optronic hardware. Mostly her work is in weapons development, creating efficient laser weapons and sensor technology for the military, as well as various surveillance applications for internal policing and espionage. However, to harness light and sound in this way, Eileen relies on special piezoelectric crystals of alien origin, unearthed from what seems to be an ancient crash site, secretly guarded by the government. While trying to deduce the refractive and acoustic properties of the crystals in order to create devices to harness them, an accident occurred, resulting in Eileen acquiring a mastery over the wave phenomena the crystals exhibited. With a keener understanding of sound and light, Eileen dove deeper into her research, though she now had a new goal: to use her research and her powers for the betterment of mankind. Leveraging her research position and her overall compliant nature, she hopes to receive the government's blessings to start a program to recruit and utilize superpowered individuals. Early in her life, due to her intelligence, she saw the governments of the world as inherently broken, but she did not succumb to angst and rebellion. She sees super-powered individuals as the catalyst necessary to subjugate the old conflicting governments and create a new united utopia for Earth; an Earth that can stand toe-to-toe with the allies and enemies in the galaxy and the universe at large. Her final ambition is to establish a Star Trek-esque United Federation of Planets, with Earth at the center, securing a dominant place for Earth in the universe. Her intentions are pure, but her methods may be a little extreme as she has no qualms with 'sterilizing', cleansing or purging the world of the 'old order' as she sees necessary.
Relationships: None so far
Themes:
Here's something happy~
And here's something a little more...contradictory and noisy~
Still working hard on this, so many locations to write up! Also still figuring out the power system and availability but should have it done by the weekend.
