Bolt has a Ferrari

[KriticalKrab]

Still accepting?

@HaltingBlooper

Yes, feel free to put up an app.

The City is still in disarray, but is it still under attack from the alien crafts or is just the mother ship now approaching?

@Master Crim

The mothership has been approaching this whole time, and the alien crafts are returning to the mother ship. Those that are still around are just finishing what they were doing.

I'll be posting sometime a bit later today.

[Asura]

Name: Aren Steele
Alias: Shockwave
Age: 16
Personality: Aren is, for lack of a better term, a smart ass. Always having some kind of sarcastic comment or quip to fire off at whoever has the misfortune to garner his attention, his snarky behaviors tends to land him in some trouble from time to time. He's jovial lad though, always looking to put smiles on the faces of others with his admittedly acquired taste in comedy. You could say he's a bit of a clown in that regard. Although he doesn't have very many friends thanks to his habit of poking fun at damn near everybody he meets, the lack of camaraderie has inspired him to be quite the loyal friend to those who can put up with him. He possesses a strong sense of personal justice, having always been the type of kid to speak out against mistreatment in his trademark vocal fashion, although it often tends to get him in a bit of a pickle thanks to his rather brash way of stating his feelings. He also fancies himself a bit of a ladies man, although whether or not he truly does try to woo the lasses of the world of simply does it for the amusement has yet to be seen, as finding the his true intentions can be quite a difficult task.

Powers: Aren possesses the ability to create and control vibrations, giving him dominion over several fields. First, and perhaps the field he is most experienced in, is the ability to manipulate sound waves by changing the vibrations which comprise the sounds themselves. With this, he is capable of dampening sounds he or others create within a radius of himself by working against the waves to silence them. He is also capable of doing the opposite and instead causing the vibrations to grow in intensity, causing a simple cough or whisper to change into a concussive blast of sound thanks to the changes in air pressure such violent vibrations cause. He is able to manipulate the direction the vibrations that comprise sound take as well, helping him direct his attacks so he doesn't blast everyone away.

Secondly, he is capable of generating vibrations himself. This can range from something as simple as causing his body to pulse softly to enhancing his physical strikes by forcing his vibrations through the opponent's body, causing internal damage thanks to the unnatural shaking it causes. With this ability, he can also cause items to 'shake apart' and if he concentrates hard enough, he's even capable of causing small, faux earthquakes by contacting the ground and channeling his powers into the earth below, causing it to shift constantly.

His third ability and one he's yet to explore very far, is the ability to influence temperature with his abilities. As heat is merely the amount of movement found between particles, he can cause these particles to vibrate quicker and in doing so, cause the heat in a particular area or object to increase, or do the opposite and cause them to vibrate more slowly, thus causing the heat in an area of object to decrease.

It is likely his powers are capable of doing more, but thanks to the complexity, he has yet to find any others, or lacks the finer control over his abilities to try some of his more outlandish ideas.

It's worth noting that, because his body literally exuded vibrations that can dissolve things from the smallest particles, his body is particularly sturdy when compared to baseline humanity. His bones more dense, muscle tissue more resilient, organs more difficult to damage. This advanced physique allows him to keep up with the more physically gifted.

Weakness: As his powers can be quite volatile, he poses a threat to his allies or the very civilians he tries to protect should he lose focus over his powers. Because vibrations are quite sporadic, he also has some difficulty attaining precise control over them. This is especially true in the offensive sense, where externalizing his abilities to harm opponents only makes it harder for him to contain them, allowing clever opponents to exploit his lack of control with underhanded tactics.

Appearance:

"Hey, I'm gorgeous. What's your name?" [+]

Bio:

Aren was born to a fairly average family within Jump City. His father, a researcher at a local chemical lab provided for the family while his mother stayed at home to keep the house in tip top shape and care for their young son. His early childhood was just as boring as anybody else's. He played with his friends, got himself into trouble but generally proved himself to be a good son. His life truly didn't deviate from the norm until he entered middle school and like so many in his age range, hit the wonderfully awful experience that is puberty. The changes to his body as he came into manhood also brought with him something truly outside of the norm; his powers.

He didn't notice them much at first. He'd occasionally feel like he was buzzing, chattering, nothing too different that couldn't be explained by his ample consumption of caffeine. It would occasionally get worse whenever he exerted himself, with a few time incidents that nearly resembled a stroke with how violently his body would shake by releasing its pent up vibrational energy. But it never impacted him, no matter how terrified the people around him were. He just... vibrated some times. He didn't truly catch on to it all until one day, in a way so many young heroes find out of their abilities, got himself into a fight with a group of other, older boys in his school. Being a mouthy little git, he managed to piss off his school's local bully not a week into his freshmen year.

The brute ended up hoisting him up against a wall after school was out, winding back to clock him in the eye for his sass. In an attempt to protect his gorgeous face, the cocky lad screamed out for him to 'STOP'... A dangerous thing to do, when your body held absolute control over vibrations. He screamed so loud, he blew the bully, his friends and every car window in the parking lot out with a blast of concussive air akin to a sonic boom. He managed to weasel himself away before anybody came looking for the source, leaving the bullies strewn about the pavement. They never came forward to say what happened, either out of fear, or because they couldn't hear a damn thing when people asked what had happened.

After that initial 'jumpstart' of his powers, they seemed to flow more naturally to him. He soon discovered he could both vibrate his body at will and control the pitch and volume of the sounds he made. After exploring them for a couple more months, he advanced them to the point where he could use them offensively. Scream loud enough to rival a jet engine in force and volume, cause brick and stone to shatter and dissolve by shaking them at a molecular level, even influence the energy between particles to heat his cocoa up or suck it away to cool his sodas down. It hadn't occurred to him, however, to try and use his powers for 'good'. Plenty of heroes existed in the world already and he was more than happy to leave the bad stuff to Superman and his league of spandex clad companions.

... Until they disappeared, of course. That was when he decided to invest in the spandex.

Arc Ideas: Jump City taken over by giant, intelligent apes.
Other: Has a tattoo of a butterfly on his left buttocks. Also, Titans forever.

Rei is... very rough in her way of speaking. ... Looking up Japanese insults for her to throw in is kind of fun.

@The Patriarch Just reading through seeing where I can come in when I saw you post about the car.

Nikolai went back to his car which was a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder that he gotten from a dealer for doing a favor in handling some dirtbags that owed him a lot of money...

you know that car is at least 7 million dollars right? Those people practically made that guy bankrupt if that was your thankyou.

@Master Crim

Let's just say that the man has a very impressive car collection and he was owed a LOT of money. Giving Bolt the car was not too much of a problem.

[Asura]

I feel like having 7 million dollars worth of car to just run around and crash it rather excessive. ... But, there are also people running around with suits of military grade power armor and armies of robots, so I suppose the suspension of disbelief on logistics needs to be raised.

@Asura

Yeah in comic book land expense is meaningless

@The Patriarch

So, he was a mob boss/corrupt politician. XP

[OwO]

So, before I post anything, I take it that alien-spear-lady just tried to stab evil-leader-man, and liquid-transform-man took one for the team?

[The Patriarch]

<Snipped quote by The Patriarch> So, he was a mob boss/corrupt politician. XP

@Master Crim

Well he does enjoy a glass of dandelion wine for dinner and when he shoots his enemies lol

[philp123]

@SilverDawn Yeah, Basoth pretty much jumped over you and took the shot for you, And now he's running full force at the door behind the big trident guy. To put it bluntly.

@philp123

Hm. I'm probably going to wait until after Kritical posts the next story. Probably because Hot Socks is too scared to move.

[ReaptheMusic]

Will we get a story post soon?
