Appearance/Description:

Houston does not wear any kind of superhero suit or disguise, he normally doesn’t go looking for trouble unless he needs to learn information Then the only kind of disguise he would wear would be a scarf over his face.

Abilities:

I’m not crazy. YET!: Houston has a high resistance against mental attacks or attacks that attack his mind. This is due to his already cracked and damaged mind that finds only the strongest of mental attacks actually affect him. It also makes him basically immune to people reading his mind as all they will be able to see are the horrific vision he saw.

Doorway beyond the veil: Houston has opened a doorway inside his mind and tapped into the power of the Great Old Ones. It grants all of his abilities the ability to drain his opponents sanity and stamina to the point of causing permanent mental damage when exposed to them for too long. The side effects from being exposed to the Great Old One’s powers can result in Schizophrenia, Delusion, Dementia, Blackouts, Self harm, Disorientation and finally suicide or Hysteria causing them to not recognise friend from foe.

Necronomicon: Houston wields the tome known as the Necronomicon with is he can summon otherworldly creatures to possess his body granting him great strength, endurance and allowing him to twist his body into inhuman shapes without harming himself. This causes him great mental strain and is normally a last resort as he must rest after reading from and banishing the spirit that possessed him. He can also curse his enemies by reading from the book causing the afflicted to be harassed by evil entities until the curse is dispelled or the entity defeated. Houston must recite the entire passage which is three pages long.

Power of the Great Old Ones: Houston can manifest and wield the power of the Great Old Ones. This power can manifest itself in a majority of ways. Mainly it looks like smoking darkness in his hands, he can throw this mass of dark energy at someone or simply touch them causing a variety of effects. Sometimes it can do nothing other times and more then likely it will do something harmful. Houston has seen people's limbs turn to glass or butterflies. Their body age rapidly or suffer necrosis of the hit area. Or Houston has seen people’s body explode into thousands of pieces. He never knows what will happen but it always amazes him.

Skills:

Scholar: Thanks to his eidetic memory he found school very easy and has no trouble gleaming information from books or people. It also allows him to pick up basic skills fairly quickly.

Master Linguist: Houston knows over 20 different languages

Psychologist: Houston is an unofficial psychologist as he never finished his course. Allowing him to read people and manipulate them.

Master of the Unknown: The corruption that was forced upon him changed his body in many ways, allowing him to endure alot more punishment than an normal human could take and strengthened his mind against mental attacks.

Equipment:

The Necronomicon: A book crafted from human and Xeno skin it’s origin is unknown to Houston but it was a rare find during an expedition into a Great Old One cult. The book's contents are all written in the Language of the Old Ones. Reading from this book is enough to drive weak minds insane and release dangerous creature who hunger for human blood and souls. Houston can wield the book but only through sheer force of will and everytime he uses the book he must fight for control of his mind and the power the book has trapped inside it’s pages.

Taser: Its a taser for self defense.

Ranking: Rank B

Brief History:

Houston has a dark past. Since birth he has known nothing but rituals, cult meetings and murder of the worst kind. Houston was born into a cult and raised as the prophet child of the religion. According to the cults ancient text and divine imagery, a child would be born from the blood of their mother with the strength to channel the Great Old One’s power and lead them into a new world.

Houston’s birth was no miracle but fates worst joke. His mother heavily pregnant, took part in a ritualistic suicide in which her womb was cut open to allow Houston into the world. Herself performed cesarean worked but Houston’s mother did not survive the amount of damage that she inflicted upon herself. Thus the first part of the prophecy was complete, Houston had indeed been born from the dead and bloody corpse of his mother. When Houston’s eyes first gazed upon the world he saw only horror. His eye’s saw things that a normal human’s could not, he heard the harsh whisper of thousands of voices in his ear and felt a malevolent presence held back by a thin veil of light.

Houston was trained in the cults ways and was sent to school like a normal child. However Houston could never shut out the voices, or stop the creatures he saw from staring at him patiently, like dogs waiting for their owners to feed them. Houston could tell that he could not be a master to these beasts he barely kept his sanity in check when he looked upon them. For every glimpse, every whisper he heard he was pulled slowly but surely into the dark chasm of madness. He never spoke about what he saw to anyone not even his father.

Houston managed his way through school, then through university where he did a degree in mythology and the history of religion. While in his studies he discovered that names of the creatures that had plagued him his entire life. As he delved deeper into his studies he learnt more and more about his cults dark past. The rituals that his father and his cult had performed on him, the many people he had watched be tortured and killed. It was all to weaken the veil that separated their world from the Great Old One’s world.

Realising how foolish he had been he confronted his father with the knowledge he had found. his father chuckled telling his son to follow him deep into the cults worshiping chambers. Once there he found all of the cultist in a large circle made up of three rings of people, each person grasped tightly in their right hand a dagger. In the middle of the circle was a large basin built into the form. Then it all went dark. He woke up bound in the basin his father was in the circle and all of the cultist were chanting loudly. A tall slim joyous man waltz towards Houston, he bent down and cupped Houston’s chin in his hand and smiled. He spoke in what Houston now knows to be latin. The words he spoke were forever engraved in Houston’s fragile mind finally cracking him and causing that last of Houston’s sanity to leave him.

The words are as followed:
Though they sleep beyond the veil
Though they are trapped behind the veil
Though they look into this world
They may never touch the world they see beyond the veil
This child has been born from blood
This child has seen they who lie beyond the veil
This child is ready to become the doorway from this world to theirs
Let your blood fill the basin mortals and grant this human your strength to ascend and tear the barriers of this world down!

The man raised his hands in the air as all of the cultist slit the person to their lefts throat causing the blood to gush from them into the basin bathing Houston in the blood of the cultist who despite their excessive blood loss, remained upright head bowed toward Houston until their final drop of blood was spent. Houston screamed as he was lifted of his feet above the basin the blood below him writhed and whipped at his ankles. His scream of pain became silent his mouth agape as his mind was torn open revealing to him the secrets of the world that humans inhabited. His brain overflowed with every detail of earths history from its birth to its death. He saw the Great old ones awakening from their slumber and breaking through the veil that had protect the human race for so long. He watched as the universe was enslaved and set upon by these monstrous creatures.

Then it stopped, the vision disappeared and Houston dropped into the now empty basin. The tall man looked down at Houston fascinated at what the man had become. Houston was a door waiting to be unlocked and thus the tall man turned around and disappeared into darkness saying one final speech to Houston before he lost consciousness: The most merciful thing in the world... is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents but you. You can see the world and its barriers. You alone can stop what you have forseen and what will happen if you fail. Use these gift wisely. That reminds me. You are but one part of a seven piece door they have the key but they must influence the mortals here to create the doors they need to enter this world. Good luck Houston. And the tall man disappeared in a sea of darkness as Houston’s body fell into unconsciousness.

Houston managed to piece his sanity back together but he still finds it hard to control his delusions, however his delusions granted him powers he could've never imagined which he plans to use to stop the Great Old One’s from using him or anyone else as a conduit to enslave this world.

Name: AKA 716-ES (Advanced Kinetic Assassin 716 Enhanced Speed)
Alias(s): Blur. (self designated)
Age: Ages at 1/4 rate of normal. 23 years 5 months 17 days ( 5 hours, 47 minutes and 12 seconds...14...15)
Affiliations: Has friends within the Mercs.
Factions:N/A

Description

Description: Blur has his coded name imprinted on his right shoulder. His blue eyes shift and dance like flames, but can be doused with tinted lenses with the click of a switch on his hood. He stands at 5'9" and has a well built athletic physique. His left forearm (primary knife arm) has robotic augmentations and is slightly larger than his right (primary pistol arm). Small metal sheaths with attached hooks sit on the underside of both his wrists, containing his throwing knives.

Powers/Weaknesses

Powers:
Gravity manipulation : Blur can manipulate or generate gravitrons, as well as other types of gravitational interactions but must be able to see the target. The force available when generated or manipulated is directly proportional to how close it is to Blur - standing in the middle of a large building and generating a gravitron at his feet would crush the building to dust. Blur is immune to the effects generated unless he chooses not to be. The generated fields last only a few seconds, manipulated fields stabilize after the same amount of time.

Kinetic Immunity : Blur is immune to any form of kinetic energy that he can register before it hits. His brain immediately generates a gravitational field to disperse/absorb the energy as a reflex.

Super Human speed : Blur moves at around 10 times faster than the average human.

Weaknesses: Blur has an extremely weak immune system and so cannot be without his respiration mask for more than a few hours before the risk of death. If exposed to an electrical current of more than 100 volts Blur cannot see.

Skills & Equipment

Skills:
- Excels at parkour style gymnastics (wall running etc).
- Techno whizz.
- Subtlety, stealth/ silent kills.
- Superior Geological Knowledge.
- Excellent shot with any handgun.
- Knife combat expert.
- Multi-linguistic

Equipment:
2x Kinetic-manipulation Pistol.
His own creation, the pistol has been altered to his neurosynaptic map so that he can use his gravitational manipulation to fire pure kinetic energy instead of bullets. The resulting damage is similar to that of the original pistol.

2x Military Tactical knives. Particularly sharp, and particularly dangerous in Blurs hands. Can be attached to Blurs wrist hooks with carbon fibre wiring.

6x Merc Standard throwing knives. Can be thrown and retrieved with the boosting force of kinetic manipulation.

Ranking: Rank B?

Brief History: Blur is human with augmentations, it is all he really knows about himself. He honestly cannot explain his abilities and only uses them for good, unless he is great pain - then he can become manic. He remembers a torturous laboratory, waking up on the bed and killing the guards. Since then he has been surviving, as well as hunting down people like those he escaped from, doing what he can. He's done a few covert operations by himself, he enjoys the rush they bring.
