▼ | PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION : |
Tall and slim, Frankie has the look about her of someone that used to work out a lot, and has since let themselves go. Wiry rather than lean, she stands surprisingly tall, looking gangly rather than graceful with it. With a long neck and a thin face, her height is only exaggerated. In recent years she has begun to age prematurely, and looks several years older than her actual age. She rarely bothers to style her dark hair, often leaving it in wild curls that frame her hollow-cheeked face.
▼ | ATTIRE : |
Most often found in jeans and a t-shirt, Frankie hasn't done particularly well since leaving FAMA. It's clear that most of her clothes are older threadbare, with several now having the look of not quite fitting that thrift store outfits tend to have. These are always covered by the same, dark brown thigh length jacket, while she tends to stick to the same battered pair of combat boots for footwear. The more observant will note that the combat boots are the same model issued to FAMA agents.

▼ | BACK STORY : |
▼ | PERSONAL ARC : |
Frankie Morrow's greatest flaw is pride. She was raised in a military family, and the fact that she has since been expelled from FAMA is a source of shame. As such, she is unlikely to ever admit weakness. As such she often feels the need to prove herself to new people, whether that be through hostility or just being a general bitch to those around her. Though those that she doesn't perceive as a threat to her pride she will be relatively personable with, up to and including sharing her high as long as she doesn't feel they are representative of authority.
▼ | SKILLS : |
FAMA Agent: She may be an ex-FAMA agent, but she served for nearly a decade, that means much of the training and knowledge is still second-nature to her. She is relatively skilled in hand to hand combat and marksmanship (though a little rusty) and has experience in dealing with a variety of Deltahumans.
Connoisseur of Highs: With several years of access to the FAMA evidence locker and a thirst for knowledge, Frankie has developed a great deal of knowledge and understanding when it comes to legal and illegal highs. She may not be a chemist, but if you're looking for advice on the perfect combination of uppers and downers, Frankie's your girl.

▼ | BACK STORY : |
Frances Morrow was, to all intents and purposes, a normal human when she joined FAMA. Having grown up in a police family, it was only a matter of time before she joined a law enforcement agency. Beginning with a brief career as a beat cop then detective, she applied for a transfer to FAMA after an altercation with a senior officer. Eager to avoid the inevitable bad press should the truth come out, the LAPD brass pulled strings in the agency and her transfer was approved on short notice.
It was at some point during her years at the agency that she manifested as a Deltahuman, even Frances is not quite sure when. All she knows is the first time she successfully triggered her ability. Unlike many Deltahumans Frances is not able to call on her abilities at will, requiring a specific trigger. In this case it seemed that her trigger, or indeed, triggers, are various controlled substances.
Frances probably wasn't cut out to be a FAMA agent, struggling with the pressures and stress of the job. She somehow coped, mostly through alcohol, until her partner was killed in a confrontation with a hostile Deltahuman. That night, while drunk, she went looking for something stronger than alcohol, and found it in the form of a small yellow pill. It was the first time her ability had triggered, and she experienced a sensation of almost unfathomable power.
She went searching for the same dealer again the next day but she'd been so drunk . When she found neither hide nor hair of him she tuned into the news to discover there had been several Deltahuman related deaths in that neighbourhood. She managed several weeks clean, touching nothing stronger than wine or beer, before bringing in a Deltahuman dealer. Several packets went missing from his stash on its trip to the evidence locker. In sampling them during a weekend long bender Frances realised that her powers were triggered by almost any recreational drug she could get her hands on.
This went on for several years with Frances being regarded by her superiors as an excellent agent, almost fanatical in her dedication. Nobody seemed to detect the subtle signs that gave her away as a high-functioning addict for a long time. That was until a year before the Incident. Discrepancies were noted in evidence turned into the locker and several reports turned in by Frances and her partner. The investigation dragged on for nearly six months until Frances was summarily dismissed from FAMA in disgrace, though fortunately avoided serious jail time.

▼ | PERSONAL ARC : |
Frankie is already well on her way to being a full on junkie, so I want her to fall all the way down to rock bottom before she manages to turn things around and start recovering. There are also a lot of drugs she hasn't tried yet, so can always explore some other possible effects as well.

"Shit… if you could feel like this…"
▼ | POWER CLASSIFICATION : |
▼ | POWER DESCRIPTION : |
▼ | LIMITS : |
▼ | WEAKNESSES : |
Type-Green.
▼ | POWER DESCRIPTION : |
Frances has a rather unique ability that requires a specific trigger to activate at all. Upon ingesting, injecting or inhaling recreational substances she undergoes a change, her body using the substance in question as fuel for a variety of Deltahuman abilities. These abilities seem to be mostly stable, depending on the drug in question, and she can manifest abilities from any of the Deltahuman classifications. It is possible to combine the effects of multiple substances at once, but comes with the double risk of both overdose, and ashing. She has some degree of resistance to the effects of the drugs while using her abilities, but still experiences all of the effects, albeit to a slightly more limited degree than a normal human.
Marijuana: Frances can envelop herself in a cloud of thick smoke, anyone entering that smoke will discover it is in effect the smoke from a joint, but thick enough to at least partially obscure vision. Anyone breathing in this smoke will discover themselves experiencing the effects of marijuana very quickly.
Anabolic Steroids: Taking any sort of anabolic steroids has a noticeable effect upon Frances, firstly she grows six inches and bulks out considerably. Secondly she gains increased muscle mass and density which has the effect of increasing her strength and resilience to roughly four times that of the average Olympic weightlifter. She is tough enough to shrug off punches and even small calibre bullets that hit at an angle. Unfortunately this increased mass means she moves much slower, she might hit a lot harder, but it's easier to avoid her blows. She also suffers from increased aggression and a difficulty in moderating her anger while under the effects of this particular ability.
Amphetamines: Most amphetamines enhance France's senses and reaction speed by a factor of five. She can hear a whisper across a football stadium and move fast enough to dodge a bullet. On the other hand, she is not particularly accustomed to these hyperactive senses and can suffer from overload very easily in this state.
Cocaine: Frances gains the ability to generate and control white flames while high on cocaine. She is immune to these flames, and is able to project them from her hands in streams of fire or as fireballs. However, once the fire has caught somewhere she has no control over it. These white flames will then slowly become normal fire, to which she has no immunity.
Opiates:Opiate's such as heroin or morphine allow Frances to project her mind out of her body and travel up to a mile away as a mental projection. This projection can be visible or invisible, but has no way to physically interact with the world, though she can speak in this form. Her body is left effectively defenceless while she is mentally projecting.
Ecstasy: Taking ecstasy grants Frances notable empathic abilities, she can sense the emotions of those around her and even influence them to a certain extent. She is capable of affecting an area up to thirty feet in diameter, though the more people in that area the more dilute her effect. Thirty people would barely feel any difference at all, while one might well have their emotions forcibly changed. Unfortunately Frances is often unable to differentiate the emotions coming in from her own, and can quickly grow confused and agitated from the conflicting emotions.
Ketamine: Frances gains a limited ability to distort space, allowing her to increase or decrease distances, walk on walls and make eternal corridors. The more drastic the changes the more time she needs to spend in an area or the more ketamine she needs to have taken.
LSD: Tripping on LSD is always fun, it's more fun if you can share those illusions at will. While Frances will be unable to control what hallucinations are appearing to her, she will be able to share those hallucinations with others. The more potent the LSD, or the more she takes, then the more real these illusions become until they have an actual physical presence. Unfortunately Frances has only limited control of these hallucinations, it is almost as likely that they will hurt her as anyone else. They must also always stay within her field of view, once she cannot see them, they simply blink out of existence, though they may simply reappear when she looks in that direction again.

▼ | LIMITS : |
France' ability is entirely dependent on the drug she has taken, the effects of each will last for no more than an hour. On top of that, without a supply of recreational substances she is effectively a normal human being. That is in addition to the limits of each individual ability.
▼ | WEAKNESSES : |
Frances' abilities only last as long as her supply does, and for a maximum of one hour. She also has the disadvantage that she's often dealing with the effects of being high while using her powers, which makes her far less effective as a combatant as a rule.

"Penis."▼ | POWER CLASSIFICATION : |Type-Blue
▼ | POWER DESCRIPTION : |
Phantasm Puppetry.Yoo In-Ah has the ability to create translucent copies of herself that mimic her current appearance down to the clothes. These Puppets are capable of a wide range of feats and she can control them to do whatever she wants them to do. They're seemingly connected to her by a tether (that takes the appearance of a near-invisible cable) that connects to her hands (hence, puppets) and she can create one puppet for each finger. One major aspect of them is that they're nearly impossible to see, when people look at them they'll appear like vaguely shaped masses of blurry air. Except under certain kinds of lights and then they appear white. Now onto their capabilities; first and foremost they can interact with the environment like a person - they can attack, grab stuff, etc, etc - using a telekinetic ability. They're no stronger than Yoo In-Ah, however, but when people touch them they feel like glass (and when they're touched they feel like glass). The other major ability they have is flight; they can float freely in Yoo In-Ah's range and she can see, hear, and feel what they do.Levitation.Yoo In-Ah (a lot of shit) has a limited self telekinetic ability that allows her to float up to twelve feet into the air. It's not Superman flight; she won't be able to travel any faster than she normally could run, but it's still a useful ability.
▼ | LIMITS : |First and foremost, the puppets are attached to Yoo In-Ah by a string, and can travel up to thirty meters away from herself. Afterward, they won't be able to go any faster (and will actively yank Yoo In-Ah). The Puppets aren't completely invisible, just hard to see. Any type of UV light will reveal them, and they are easier to see up close than say a mile away (where they'd be impossible to see). Yoo In-Ah can only create ten at a time, but if one gets destroyed she'd have to wait an hour or two before she can summon them again. If she tries to go beyond her limit they'll instantly shatter and it'll hurt. The Puppets max speed is as fast as Yoo In-Ah can normally run.
▼ | WEAKNESSES : |The primary weakness of the Puppets is the tether that connects them to Yoo In-Ah. If it's attacked and severed the puppet will disappear (but she'll be able to instantly remake them), but that's not the major weakness. The tether is one aspect of her ability that she cannot alter and will follow the Puppets where ever they go. The tether is attached to Yoo In-Ah as well and can be used to yank her around as well, as well as manipulate the Puppets. The Puppets are as durable as glass - regardless of what size they are - all it'll take is one solid hit can shatter them instantly. She also feels a phantom pain whenever they get damaged. Also, seeing through their eyes means she can't see through her own eyes and her senses are dead as she uses the ability long.

▼ | PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION : |
Mason exhibits an aura of stillness and calm; he walks with his shoulders relaxed, arms hung out of the pockets of his loose, comfy jacket, and a serene, almost sleepy expression worn on his face. He’s fairly tall at 6’ 2”, with a half-decent build (somewhat fit with a bit of a gut because of his desk job), and is covered in piercings and tattoos that he makes no effort to hide. In spite of that, his presence in a room is barely above that of furniture, and he’s happy to keep it that way.
He has naturally tanned skin - owing to his half filipino background. His face is semi-sharp in frame, completed with an unremarkable nose and mouth, eyebrows thick and dense, and a strong jawline lightly peppered with a bit of facial hair. Dark circles permanently sit below slightly thin, upward slanted eyes thanks to a harsh combination of working late nights and insomnia. His hair is styled in an undercut and unkempt textured top with a bit at the front having grown long enough to brush just above his non-prescription black rimmed glasses. Behind his left ear is a scar that runs down his neck from a surgical operation due to a skin defect at birth.
Apart from basic hygiene, he’s not one to care too much about his appearance on a day-to-day basis, though it’s mainly because it’s too much extra work for him to be bothered with rather than a lack of interest. Coloured contacts are the one exception for him. He enjoys sporting a pair of glasses or sunglasses for their look, so he’s willing to put in a bit of effort for that by regularly wearing contacts.

Mason prioritizes comfort and convenience above all else, but he makes an effort to look decently presentable, if not a bit too casual. His workplace being a tech startup, this isn’t a problem.
His typical outfit consists of a slightly loose t-shirt or sleeveless, a light puffy jacket (air conditioning at work is unreasonably strong), cargo pants, and a pair of sneakers, each of which he has about 2-3 of at home that he cycles between.

▼ | PERSONAL ARC : |
On the outset, Mason has a bit of a ghostly disposition that he likes to embellish for fun; calm, secretive, and has a tendency to walk in and out of people’s presence without them noticing. In spite of that, he’s quite friendly; his relaxed and patient temperament make him easy to talk to, given that his enigmatic nature doesn’t scare you off. However, while he is amicable, he’s not exactly a smooth talker. He can only speak in an articulate manner when he’s making a conscious effort to do so. When he lets loose a bit , he’s much more emotive and bumbling - almost childlike - and is easily flustered.
His secretive behaviour is rarely intended to be malicious or deceptive however. Apart from the comfort in having his motives under wraps, he’s thoroughly uncomfortable with other people - even those he’s closest to - knowing about his internal problems. In contrast to how he presents himself to others, he is far more prone to negative emotions than he lets on, but chooses to suppress and bottle them up. He’s well aware of his problems but will at most, use them to joke about himself.
Mason has a strange but close affinity for unnecessary complexity; he loves fiction with layers of symbolism, and much of the tattoos on his body reflects that. He sees this affinity as a representation of himself as well, best illustrated in his tendency to overthink his actions in even the simplest of social interactions. Mason is deeply perceptive of other people’s behaviour, but he can’t apply his observations without a plan; forced improvisation will cause him to overwhelm himself with his own thoughts.
On the upside, when he does have to put this to strategic use and has the preparation time to do so, he can be very effective at subtly getting others to do what he wants. Unfortunately, this natural inclination for manipulation bleeds into his behaviour with people he’s close to as well, the guilt of which weighs heavily on him.

▼ | SKILLS : |
Programming: He taught himself programming at the age of 15 as a hobby, continued his education of it through a Computer Science program in college, and currently has had a total of 3 years of professional experience as a developer (please ask to see his resume). He specializes in backend and his favorite programming language is Python.
Housework & Cooking: He’s had to manage the household and take care of his siblings since he was a child so it comes naturally to him.
▼ | BACK STORY : |
Mason was born in Brooklyn, New York, in a family of 6: mother, father, a younger sister, and two younger brothers. Both his parents had 9-5s, so he and his siblings were latchkey kids since they started school. On an average weekday, his parents would leave before their children woke up. Mason would get up before the others to make breakfast and help get his siblings ready to head out. Their neighborhood wasn’t particularly dangerous and their school was only a few blocks away, but as a small child walking to school with no one but several smaller children he was responsible for, he couldn’t help but be scared and anxious. By 7, his parents would be back home with takeout for dinner, though it was sometimes only their mother.
Their mom, who worked as a waitress at a local diner, felt guilty about having to leave her children alone for so many hours of the day, and did her best to spend every hour of her freetime with them. Unfortunately, this gradually takes a toll on her health - not helped by her history of heart problems, but she refused to tell her children in her efforts to not worry them. Their father was cold and emotionally distant from what Mason could remember, but loved his wife. When their mom grew too sick to work, their father started to resent the children, but kept it internal.
Mason slowly learned to read his parents from their faces and body language; he was still a child so his observations weren’t very concrete, but the way they acted made him extremely uneasy. He had his own share of issues (stress and anxiety from school and having to take care of his siblings), but he refused to overburden his mom, he wasn’t close to his father, and he couldn’t relate to his peers at school. Everyone was tired and depressed, but nobody said a word, and that was how they lived for years, until their mom died.
Ever since then, their father would start coming home later, then, for days, and sometimes, weeks at a time. They had to move into a smaller apartment. Mason assumed the role of the guardian in the family, managing the household, helping out his siblings, and working part-time to help pay for living expenses. Fortunately, as they grew older his siblings were empathetic to the responsibility he had and a lot of work was taken off his shoulders. His father was incredibly neglectful, but at the very least, he kept paying the rent until the youngest child turned 18.
Mason had his first serious relationship in his first year as a Computer Science student at community college, but it wasn’t a healthy one. His partner had a worse life at home than he had, which he let be the excuse for her toxic behaviour as he allowed himself to be gaslighted and emotionally abused. Thankfully, he broke up with her after a year with support from his newly made friends in college.
After graduation, he realized that his experiences in his hometown had made the place seem bleak and depressing, so he decided to apply for a full-time job in other states and countries. One of his old bosses was acquainted with the owner of a startup in Los Angeles, who was hiring a backend developer; they got in touch the next day. Pay was suboptimal, but the two got along well, and he was more than willing to accept a low but manageable salary if he liked the people and environment.
Mason never knew of the existence of his Delta power until a few months after his move to LA. The Delta-Point energy in his body slowly built up over time, helped in part by the amount of stress he endured since childhood. One of his co-workers was a Type-Blue Deltahuman with moderate telekinetic abilities. He kept it a secret from those he wasn’t close with so nobody at work knew about it at first. One night, when him and Mason were walking to a bar, a drunk driver was about to run his car into them, but his co-worker stopped it with his Delta power, a feat he was previously far from capable of. He divulged his secret to Mason that night and after a bit of experimenting, realized that Mason’s presence doubled the weight limit his telekinetic ability would’ve allowed otherwise. The panic during the moment the car was about to hit them had activated Mason’s Manifestation Event.
Turns out, their boss witnessed them in action; in fact, he was a Deltahuman too - a Type-Red low-level pyrokinetic. Mason explored and developed his control over his abilities with the two during his years working at the startup. He often wondered how and when he was exposed to Delta-Point energy. Neither of his parents were Deltahumans as far as he knew; it could have been kept a secret from them but he couldn’t identify a reason why they would do that. Perhaps one of his parents weren’t biologically related to them, though he didn’t care enough to clarify that theory*.
*This isn’t relevant to his arc (because he never finds out the truth nor does he care to), but to clarify, his biological father is a Deltahuman and he’s not the same one he grew up with. He was also a Type-Green Deltahuman whose energy was left in the house Mason was born in, allowing him to be further exposed at a young age even when he wasn’t around.
Their mom, who worked as a waitress at a local diner, felt guilty about having to leave her children alone for so many hours of the day, and did her best to spend every hour of her freetime with them. Unfortunately, this gradually takes a toll on her health - not helped by her history of heart problems, but she refused to tell her children in her efforts to not worry them. Their father was cold and emotionally distant from what Mason could remember, but loved his wife. When their mom grew too sick to work, their father started to resent the children, but kept it internal.
Mason slowly learned to read his parents from their faces and body language; he was still a child so his observations weren’t very concrete, but the way they acted made him extremely uneasy. He had his own share of issues (stress and anxiety from school and having to take care of his siblings), but he refused to overburden his mom, he wasn’t close to his father, and he couldn’t relate to his peers at school. Everyone was tired and depressed, but nobody said a word, and that was how they lived for years, until their mom died.
Ever since then, their father would start coming home later, then, for days, and sometimes, weeks at a time. They had to move into a smaller apartment. Mason assumed the role of the guardian in the family, managing the household, helping out his siblings, and working part-time to help pay for living expenses. Fortunately, as they grew older his siblings were empathetic to the responsibility he had and a lot of work was taken off his shoulders. His father was incredibly neglectful, but at the very least, he kept paying the rent until the youngest child turned 18.
Mason had his first serious relationship in his first year as a Computer Science student at community college, but it wasn’t a healthy one. His partner had a worse life at home than he had, which he let be the excuse for her toxic behaviour as he allowed himself to be gaslighted and emotionally abused. Thankfully, he broke up with her after a year with support from his newly made friends in college.
After graduation, he realized that his experiences in his hometown had made the place seem bleak and depressing, so he decided to apply for a full-time job in other states and countries. One of his old bosses was acquainted with the owner of a startup in Los Angeles, who was hiring a backend developer; they got in touch the next day. Pay was suboptimal, but the two got along well, and he was more than willing to accept a low but manageable salary if he liked the people and environment.
Mason never knew of the existence of his Delta power until a few months after his move to LA. The Delta-Point energy in his body slowly built up over time, helped in part by the amount of stress he endured since childhood. One of his co-workers was a Type-Blue Deltahuman with moderate telekinetic abilities. He kept it a secret from those he wasn’t close with so nobody at work knew about it at first. One night, when him and Mason were walking to a bar, a drunk driver was about to run his car into them, but his co-worker stopped it with his Delta power, a feat he was previously far from capable of.

▼ | PERSONAL ARC : |
Mason doesn’t have any external goals for now; his siblings live on the other side of the world, so the most he can do at the moment is try to contact them.
His main arc will be primarily an internal battle, where his facade of unending patience and calm is repeatedly challenged and worn thin over time, and his emotional suppression and passive hero complex grow more and more self-destructive. This could end tragically for him if he doesn’t have the willpower to pick himself back up at his lowest moment, but it’ll depend on how the story goes.

Power Buffing
Mason’s power is being able to temporarily loan others some of his Delta-Point energy, in order to boost their own Delta power. What this does to different Deltahumans changes from person to person as it depends on how a boost in energy will affect their abilities.
In order to exert his buff on someone he has to be able to see them. His irises will emit a subtle lime-green light when it’s in effect, only really visible in the dark so it’s generally easy to hide (especially with sunglasses). The glow does grow brighter the stronger the buff is however, and if he is straining himself, veins on his body will bulge through the skin and emit the same light. Once he loses eye contact with the person for 10 seconds, their borrowed energy will return back to him. This makes it much harder to buff multiple Deltahumans with this particular function.
The target of his energy loan isn’t limited to Deltahumans; he is also able to infuse objects with them, but instead of eye contact, he simply has to touch and hold onto the object (he refers to this as charging the object). When an object is charged, it acts as an extension of Mason himself. When held by another Deltahuman, the buff will activate like an external battery. Its strength and duration of buff is fixed depending on how Mason charged it and the amount of energy will only decrease when in contact with a Deltahuman (it runs out much slower if the Deltahuman isn’t using their powers). This ability consumes much more time than regular buffing, but it covers the limitations of eye contact. He keeps this a secret from others until the situation calls for it.
A currently unknown function of his power is the ability to transfer some of his energy to another Deltahuman and give them a permanent boost in power. He’ll discover this ability during the story.

▼ | LIMITS : |
How his power works pertaining to Delta-Point energy is as such:
His energy is divided into 2 parts: energy to loan for the buff (strength energy), and energy used up during the buff (duration energy).
E.g. If he loans 80% of his Delta-Point energy (strength energy) to someone, this will nearly double their abilities. However, the rest of his energy (duration energy) is used to keep this effect going, and with 20% left, he’d only be able to hold the buff for about 30 seconds before he risks ashing. The difference in strength of buff + duration given the amount of input is closer to exponential.
Short, heavy buff: 80:20 => about 2x power, 30 sec duration max
Average buff: 50:50 => about 1.5x power, 10 min duration max
Long, light buff: 20:80 => about 1.125x power, 1 h duration max
If these buffs are used beyond his time limit, he’ll risk ashing, in addition to a few other side effects (see weaknesses below).
This isn’t mathematically calculated because I want there to be a degree of flexibility and quantifying it to such an extent may not be fun. I’ll let the writer decide what each buff means for your character’s powers given the approximation above.
His buff will have no effect on permanent transformations, but the Deltahuman will still gain a boost in the amount of energy they have stored.

▼ | WEAKNESSES : |
Mason needs a moderate level of concentration to be able to buff someone. If he’s aggressively interrupted (e.g. being attacked), he will likely experience a side effect called "leakage" in which his Delta-Point energy will overreact and start slowly seeping out of his body. This will not only reduce the maximum strength and duration of his buffs, but blur his vision, rendering his power much less effective overall. Continued use of his power in this state will also worsen it. This state will gradually lessen and go away within 3-6 hours, depending on how much he worsens it, and his Delta-Point energy will then return to his body.
Leakage can also occur if he overexerts himself, but it’s less likely. Apart from ashing, what’s more likely to happen if he uses over 97% of the energy in his body is that he may not be able to take back all the energy he loaned. A unique characteristic of his Delta-Point energy is the ability to adapt to other Deltahumans while retaining its connection with him. However, this characteristic will weaken exponentially when he has less than 3% of the energy left in his body, causing a small amount of it to be stolen by the Deltahuman being buffed. Naturally, he keeps this a secret.

Cesar looks younger than he is, with an air about him that suggests immaturity and childishness. Blessed with the kind of metabolism that allows him to eat absolutely anything and get away with it he is fairly slim, skinny might even be appropriate. His dark hair is usually messy, mainly because all he does is run his fingers through it as he rushes out the door. Defined cheekbones and a square jaw complete his boyish good looks, though heavy brows lend an air of poor temper to him that is probably not entirely fair.
▼ | ATTIRE : |
Whatever he found on the floor that didn't smell too bad. Again contributing to his appearance of immaturity, Cesar tends to just grab whatever is in arms reach and throw it on. He always wears comfortable sneakers and usually t-shirts with large, colourful logos on. Yes, he might be in his mid-twenties, but he still dresses like a child.

Hyperactive would probably be the first word that springs to mind when considering Cesar. He almost never seems to stop talking and certainly doesn't stop moving. If he's not fidgeting with something then it usually means something is very wrong. Well meaning, he's usually trying to do the right thing, even if he's annoying in the way he goes about it.
Seeing the best in everyone, it's pretty hard to get under this idealistic, naïve young man's skin. He tends to brush past other's faults and acts as though it is his personal mission to be everyone's best friend. With this comes an eagerness to help, he'll follow instructions to the letter, and beyond, probably getting under people's feet until they set him another task.

Medical Training: Cesar is a medical school graduate, which means he has an excellent grasp of human anatomy, medical procedure and the theory of how to treat a whole variety of maladies and injuries. Unfortunately the Incident occurred at the beginning of his internship, leaving him with virtually no practical experience of any of this.
Bilingual: As a proud Hispanic, it's only natural that Cesar would speak Spanish along with English.
Speed Chess: While Cesar's hyperactive nature meant he rarely sit's down for something so sedate as a board game, he was introduced to Chess by his grandfather. Cesar is an able player, though tends to rush headlong into it, relying on instinct rather than strategy.

▼ | BACK STORY : |
Cesar was been born into a successful family, albeit a success that lasted . His grandfather was a respected surgeon, his parents successful entrepreneurs. Unfortunately misfortune only seemed to follow misfortune. The dot com bubble burst, destroying his parent's investments, followed by the revelation that his grandfather had been falsifying records in order to treat patients without the appropriate insurance. Noble perhaps, but enough to destroy the old man's career.
A gifted young man, Cesar could easily have been held back in school due to his hyperactivity, but somehow managed to parlay his boundless energy into ever more boundless achievement at school and College. Graduating a year early from High School, he had already made it clear that he intended to follow in his grandfather's once respected footsteps and become a doctor.
Though there was little hope of financial support from his family, Cesar managed to gain a scholarship that paid for his full ride through College and medical school, especially considering he managed to move a further year ahead when he graduated from College early. Medical school was a challenge for him, especially considering his youth and relative immaturity compared to many of the other candidates, but he did well there, thrived even.
It's just unfortunate that the Incident occurred on the day that it did. Caught up in the chaos, Cesar was one of many who missed the evacuation, though in his case he wanted to stay and help. Field hospitals wanted people with more experience, at least at first, and when they pulled out they went without him, leaving him stranded in the warzone LA seemed to have become.

▼ | POWER CLASSIFICATION : |Type-White
▼ | POWER DESCRIPTION : |
Hole-Maker.Caesar's Type-White ability manifests in the form of a spatial warping power. It's hard to describe how his power actually functions because it ignores most laws of physics entirely - they're actually holes in reality itself. At will, Caesar can make space-warping holes appear in his environment (mainly on all inorganic objects). These holes are merely ordinary holes in the shape of a circle which gives the idea that a cleanly cut hole has been made into the object and will always lead to the other end of the object. This ability affects a wide range instantly (about eleven meters) and if he remains in one area while the effect persists it'll stretch out to about fifty-five meters. He can focus the effect on one area or object by touching it and channeling his power. These holes are seemingly harmless as, when Caesar drops the effect, they return to normal. Theses holes start out the size of a penny but they'll grow to be six feet in diameter - about wide enough for a person to fit through. If he touches the environment and channels his power he can instantly create a singular hole wide and deep enough for him to fit through. Caesar can bifurcate something if they're through the hole and he closes it.
▼ | LIMITS : |Caesar's power can't affect organic matter, so that means people and trees and stuff are out of the question. While he can instantly create holes in the environment, they start out the size of a penny and he needs about thirty seconds to make them wide enough for him to fit through. Other than by touch, there's a distinct lack of control behind this ability. It'll instantly create holes in eleven meters that'll grow wide enough for him to fit through quickly. Unless he touches it of course and he can instantly create a hole wide enough for him to fit through.
▼ | WEAKNESSES : |Caesar has to be careful if he's hurt or weakened in any way the holes will become unstable and close. And, unfortunately, friendly fire wasn't turned on so he or a friend can lose a limb. In addition, it'll create holes in all objects in the area if he activates his area of effect ability - and he can inconvenience a friend this way.

Caesar's Type-White ability manifests in the form of a spatial warping power. It's hard to describe how his power actually functions because it ignores most laws of physics entirely - they're actually holes in reality itself. At will, Caesar can make space-warping holes appear in his environment (mainly on all inorganic objects). These holes are merely ordinary holes in the shape of a circle which gives the idea that a cleanly cut hole has been made into the object and will always lead to the other end of the object. This ability affects a wide range instantly (about eleven meters) and if he remains in one area while the effect persists it'll stretch out to about fifty-five meters. He can focus the effect on one area or object by touching it and channeling his power. These holes are seemingly harmless as, when Caesar drops the effect, they return to normal. Theses holes start out the size of a penny but they'll grow to be six feet in diameter - about wide enough for a person to fit through. If he touches the environment and channels his power he can instantly create a singular hole wide and deep enough for him to fit through. Caesar can bifurcate something if they're through the hole and he closes it.

▼ | LIMITS : |
Caesar's power can't affect organic matter, so that means people and trees and stuff are out of the question. While he can instantly create holes in the environment, they start out the size of a penny and he needs about thirty seconds to make them wide enough for him to fit through. Other than by touch, there's a distinct lack of control behind this ability. It'll instantly create holes in eleven meters that'll grow wide enough for him to fit through quickly. Unless he touches it of course and he can instantly create a hole wide enough for him to fit through.
▼ | WEAKNESSES : |
Caesar has to be careful if he's hurt or weakened in any way the holes will become unstable and close. And, unfortunately, friendly fire wasn't turned on so he or a friend can lose a limb. In addition, it'll create holes in all objects in the area if he activates his area of effect ability - and he can inconvenience a friend this way.
