Name: Resten Wiles (pronounced why-ills)
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance: This but no cross and silvery blue eyes.
Personality: He has an aloof, serious persona, seemingly uncaring and able to use others for his own purposes. However, he actually does try to be a good person when able. It's simply that, as he believe the ends justify the means, he's willing to do some things that seem bad for the purpose of the greater good and won't let the small things distract him. He knows that he cannot save everyone so doesn't even try. He just does the best that he can given what he has to work with. He has trouble making friends so seldom makes the effort, but when he does make them they can see his compassionate side. He might push them away, but only for their safety.
Abilities
Physical Enhancements- Under normal circumstances he's like a normal, albeit very well trained human being with an all around balance of strength and speed.
Brains- He's very intelligent and quick witted.
Weapon Training- He can use swords and daggers (normal or throwing) very well; not as much as an expert who only focuses on that, but still a force to be reckoned with.
Hand-to-hand- He fights with swift and forceful jerking movements, not meant to be aesthetically pleasing. Rather, it has ruthless efficiency fitting of his personality.
Powers
His powers involve wiring inserted into his body from the top of his left hand all the way to the middle of his chest. A circular device serves as it's entry point on the hand and there's five more devices inside his body running along the wire, the largest one by far at the end in the center of his chest. Each device stores energy from his body and converts it into magic. Opening up the channels requires him to rotate a pin in the device in his hand (called the igniter) around in a clockwise manner to five different openings not including the resting position. Moving it to the first opening unlocks the first device, moving it to the second unlocks the second while keeping the first unlocked, etc., keeping all previously opened devices in the chain unlocked when moving to the next device, but not allowing him to use the powers from the previous devices during that time. This chain allows the more inward devices to draw more power from the entire chain, but as a result leaves him drained of energy much quicker. Each device requires a second to open to the magic flow, so to get to his most inward device from resting would require 5 seconds. One would think that you can just have wiring straight from the igniter to each one individually, but breaking the chain in such a way would drastically reduce and mess with the flow of magical energy through the body. Luckily, once the device is open he can use the magic from within almost instantaneously and as many times as he has the energy for. Each device will be named something cool once I come up with it, but for now I'll be lazy and call them what they do.
Physical- The 1st device. Allows his left hand to hit 3 times more powerfully and surround himself in an aura that allows him to move 3 times as quickly.
Flame- The 2nd device. Allows him to shoot flames from his left hand as large as an average bedroom and as hot as an average flamethrower.
Spark- The 3rd device. Allows him to send out a flexible "whip" of electricity from his left hand up to 30 feet in length. It can cut through things at his highest "setting" as well as simply zap them as lower settings.
Gravity- The 4th device. Allows him to surround himself in an anti-gravity field aura. He can't control his path in mid air without acting on anything, so if he were to activate it and push upwards then he will just keep going straight up, for example, until he releases the power and falls back down. If he touches something in the palm of his left hand then he can make that anti-gravity as well.
Life- The 5th device. Any living thing he touches with his left hand is drained of their life's energy. He's rumored to be able to steal one's soul with this, although he simply drains all their energy so that their soul leaves their body (completely unaffected by him directly).
Weaknesses
*If his left arm is wounded too badly then he looses his powers and might have to fix the wiring and devices inside through surgery to regain it. Depending on where the damage is it can cut off some or even all of his powers.
*Certain things can jam his device from activating his powers. However, most random enemies wouldn't have access to such things.
*He can tend to be overly cocky and a loner.
Equipment
Weapons- A sword made out of a metal similar to steal in durability but light and can fold up to half it's size for easy carrying. He also has five steel throwing daggers.
History
He was on the verge of death after a random accident, and when they had his chest open they gave an unauthorized operation of adding in the magical devices after the doctor got a call saying that he was special. The power of the central device in his chest, life, in fact saved his life by absorbing the life's energy from others, including those involved in the operation. Those who gave them this power, a secretive branch of the government, wanted him in his debt so that they could have a powerful soldier working for them. His body was one of the few determined to be able to withstand that specific device being implanted in him, after all, and it's power is said to be the greatest of any magical device every manufactured, even if he can't properly use it to it's full effect yet. He declined to help, and when one of them tried to rip it back out of his chest, he managed to activate his first device, giving him enough speed to escape with the aid of his intellect. They didn't think he knew how to activate said devices, revealing that he must already have some insider information. The general public was aware of the magical devices being implanted in elite soldiers but it was never revealed how they work. Also, it became clear that he already had a grudge against them before this unwanted surgery. However, Resten soon realized what a blessing in disguise this was. Now he could get his revenge.
