Name: Old Man
Alias(s): Old Man (Real name unknown)
Age: Again, unknown. He claims to be well over one hundred. In fact, some have claimed to have found records of him as a man well into his adult hood in the 1860's. Anyone claiming to have found records of his actual identity have mysteriously disappeared.
Affiliations: Mercenaries
Description:
He is a private man who only discusses trivial things if the conversation turns personal. He occasionally mentions his children and grand children, only giving first names. He is a time manipulating Hero who uses his powers to maintain some kind of balance in the world, mostly of the benevolent kind. He takes down Third World regimes, tin pot dictators and that sort of thing, and rescues Metas from problems they can't deal with.
He has saved many of them from Communist China, the former Soviet Union and other areas around the world.
Powers:
He has time manipulation. Although he claims to be more than 160 years old, he only appears to be 75 years of old in appearance, and is as spry and healthy as people in the prime of their life are. He can open portals to travel though space by time space manipulation, slow enemies and the area around him through time manipulation, temporarily age opponents by decades of time in only a few seconds, rust metals, heal wounds of himself or others, or even speed up fertility cycles.
He has post cognition when touching objects (Which means he can see into the past by touching objects), precognition (This only extends into the future by seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks or maybe months. He's only ever managed to make it to a handful of years into the future once, and that was the defining moment of his life as a Meta). In addition he is supernaturally intelligent, possibly having more than four hundred IQ points.
To some extent he can even cause Seasonal changes, such as winter and storms by time space manipulation, but he rarely uses such powers, and can only do such things a few times a day at most. He has even mastered his powers enough as to create a house sized storage space in an alternate dimension. He can retreat into it for emergencies. Sort of like an invisible TARDIS. It should be noted that Old Man occasionally has blank spots in the Time Space Continuim that make it difficult or even impracticle to try time travel into the future, and time travel into the past for the express purpose of changing it is restricted, limited and treated like a very precious resource rather than just a repeatable opportunity.
Old Man has the power to create confusing circumstances for his enemies, making it appear as if he is shrugging off impossible wounds and surviving impossible things when they aren't even happening in his time line. He can only do such things on a limited basis, but they renew every 24 hour period. He can technically earn more benefits and advantages through time space manipulation but the key word is earn. If he fails, he is simply sent back to the present time line and must wait for a 24 hour period before attempting again. ((Not to mention, he can't just cheap skate his way through challenges. Most of the time he must deal with his defeat with challenges he fails to pass, but he can still only attempt to learn a sort of Time Space manipulation "spell" for lack of a better word, once every twenty four hours, and he cannot circumvent that restriction.
Skills:
He is an apt hand to hand expert, a sniper and gunslinger, as well as a physicist, master of medicine (surgery included), and chemist.
Equipment:
scalpel
sniper rifles
magnum .50c
ammo
first aid
Ranking:
A Rank.
(Without his time space manipulation he pretends to be D ranked, but is equal with C Ranked Metas. The only B Ranked power he has without his Time Manipulation Powers is his youthful health/physical power and agelesness).
(Optional) Brief History:
Born in the early 1800's. He discovered a Time Machine in a subterran place under his Manor in the English countryside and was irrevocably changed into a Meta. In fact, he says he was supposed to be Meta to begin with. He can only speculate why he was a Mundane before discovering the machine in the first place. Eventually his time machine, which was probably another person's property, had been in use enough for "Old Man", to develop supernatural powers over time space manipulation that are entirely his own . He is now more than Human, and lives in more than one temporal state of being at once.
It's impossible for anyone to tell if this has been more good than bad, and when asked if his powers of space and time are more of a gift than a curse, he is nearly always incomprehensible in whatever answer he responds with.
