Basic Information
Name:Joseph Uwais
Age:25
Gender:Male
Appearance:Joseph is a Male in his mid-twenties, who is of Avg height (5’10) and has an average weight.(180 pounds) He’s not exactly athletic, but Joseph isn’t obese either. While Joseph can not run extremely fast, or lift several hundred pounds, he can hold his own. His muscles are built well enough that Joseph can have some power behind his swings and also take a few hits. Joseph is also of Indonesian ancestry; though he considers himself completely American. He’s somewhat tan though Joseph is not completely dark. Like any typical Asian, he has brown eyes and black hair. As for his clothes, he doesn’t wear much flashy. Though he wears suits to work, usually Joseph will wear something casual when he’s not at the office. A simple jacket, t-shirt, and jeans.
Skills/Talents: Joseph knows his way around computers.Due to spending years at the office, he’s pretty good with computers. Now, he won’t be able to hack into the NEST database or anything, he’s not some prodigy, but he can probably break into a simple personal computer. Joseph is also subtle enough that people will generally ignore him. He’s learned how to become just background noise, the kind of person that looks like he belongs there but generally looks like the type who’s just there.
Brief Backstory:Joseph grew up on your typical Asian family. The kind that prioritized school over everything else, getting the best grades, getting into the best schools. There isn’t much to say about his family life. While he wasn’t close to his family due to their narrow-minded viewpoint towards him, Joseph never really hated them either. Just.. indifference. They didn’t show much love towards him, but at least, they took care of him. How could he complain when they sheltered, fed, and clothed him? Granted, he got decent grades in school, so there wasn’t much his parents could really get mad over. There might have been a fight or two, but nothing serious enough to get him expelled. It was enough to get him into a state college and major in computer science. Joseph wasn’t very active on his college campus, just going on campus to attend class. His college life was remarkably dull. After his four years, he got a degree and went into an internship.
The job was horribly boring. What ended up happening is that Joseph sat in the office every day, typing up some report or something. As such, he became depressed and angry. While he never wanted a glamorous life, a monotone office life was not something he was keen on either. But he kept quiet. In fact, Joseph would have probably stayed there, miserable and broken.
His boss knew this too and tormented him with it. It might have been a curse… or a blessing. It was on one fateful day when his boss was tearing him a new one, and Joseph screamed back. The windows and computer screens in the office began to crack, then explode violently, with glass pieces flying everywhere like shrapnel. A few workers were killed, dozens more injured. The local police didn’t know what to make of it. Some freak accident? Some strong wind? There were several theories but none of them fit.
Even Joseph wasn’t sure, at least until he had tested his newfound power out. Broke a few windows in the process, but Joseph found he could move glass with his mind. Even put glass shards back together perfectly with enough willpower. He also found he could shape glass, albeit crudely. Fearing NEST could have caught wind of the incident, Joseph decided to take a job offer in New Rivière City, putting a lot of distance from his former employers.
Power Information
Power Class:Elemental
Power:Vitrikinesis- Fancy wording for the power of manipulation of glass. Joseph is able to sense, create, shape and manipulate glass. This can take form in the basic form of manipulation, such as throwing glass itself at people or objects. For example, he could break a few glass windows, then throw the glass shards with his mind, which would be very effective against soft targets. Or he could shape glass into a crude weapon to have a makeshift weapon, providing versatility to his skillset.
Limits:Generally Joseph can only manipulate glass he can actually see. The event in his former office was a bit of a fluke. Any attempt to control glass on such a big scale will usually end badly. Breaking glass also takes a second, so anyone fast enough can probably catch him off guard if he hasn't started manipulating beforehand. While he can shape glass weapons, glass is still extremely brittle. The maximum he could probably use these improvised weapons is probably 2 or 3 times.
Weaknesses/Drawbacks:The glass Joseph manipulates is really still glass. Any extreme heat or cold would be an issue, as well as certain vibrations or sound frequencies. He also is more fragile whenever using his powers.
Relationships
Family:Dynamics:Basically your character's relationship with other characters.
