Somewhere in a downtown apartment building a cockroach is squashed by an alabaster hand belonging to Poltergeist, the spectral guardian of Thomas Chandler. A random thought of disgust that wasn't his entered his mind. Since their minds and bodies were reflections of each other, things like this would happen regularly. While Thomas has never heard Poltergeist speak, his mind would often be filled with feelings and experiences that actually belonged to his ghostly protector. He wasn't sure how he always knew what Poltergeist meant, he just somehow...knew.
Thomas turned his electric wheel chair around, heading for their apartment door to go down for his mail, as he 'deactivated' Poltergeist. He had asked his roommate to grab some groceries earlier for lunch and had expected him to be back by now. Thomas grabbed the key for their shared safety deposit box as he went out into the apartment hallway. He rolled around the corner and headed into the elevator, pressing the yellowed ground floor button with his thumb. The elevator closed with a ding as the speakers began to play.
Less than five minutes later and Thomas had finally reached the ground floor. As the elevator doors slowly opened, Thomas rolled out of the small area, offering a respectful nod to the manager of the apartment, and the few people loitering around the head desk. The mail room was only a door away from the main elevator, and after pushing open the door with a pale hand, Thomas entered the room and headed straight for their safety deposit box...Number 52. He reached into his pocket, and grabbing the key, Thomas unlocked the box and grabbed the small pile of mail. A small, rubber-banded package and a small letter, labeled to Jason, was the only two things that really caught his eye. The others were just bills, expenses, and tax reductions or something.
With mail in hand, Thomas turned round back into the elevator, pressing the 5th button, and headed up back to their home. Before he could place his key into the door, his ears pricked to the sound of hushed whispering around the corner. Rather than go around himself, Thomas instead brought out Poltergeist, turning itself invisible before sending it around to see the commotion. Through his Guardian's eyes, Thomas saw two large men huddled over one of his neighbours doors. Poltergeist went in closer; even if Thomas was just being paranoid, he wouldn't be doing any harm by looking. "Come on, man. Hurry the fuck up, we don't know when they'll get back." muttered one of the unknown men. The other man appeared to be fiddling with the lock. Having decided that the two men were clearly attempting to break in, Thomas commanded Poltergeist to hover right behind them, dropping its invisibility. Poltergeist extended a single bone-white finger and tapped the first man on his shoulder. He froze like a deer caught in headlights, and slowly turned around to face him, his features changed to show intense fear as he saw what was behind him. He panicked and ran, not even bothering to warn his fellow criminal. "Hey, where do you think you're goin'?" he shouted, before turning around to see a menacing Poltergeist. He whimpered as Thomas smiled around the corner and unleashed a barrage of punches, knocking the man out cold. Leaving him lying there, Thomas retracted Poltergeist before calmly wheeling back into his apartment.
Name: Thomas Chandler Age: 19 Gender: Male Ethnicity: Caucasian American
Thomas appears frail and sickly due to his condition, with pale, short-length blond hair and green eyes. His somewhat scrawny frame makes him look younger than he really is. Thomas feels a total lack of apathy towards choosing what he wears, he just throws on whatever's there - which is usually casual clothes, such as sweatpants, jeans or plain t-shirts.
Poltergeist manifests as a male, wraith-like humanoid, wearing what seems to be a white gas mask along with a tattered jumpsuit, with a total absence of skin pigment and green glowing eyes. Not even Thomas knows what lies beneath Poltergeist's mask...
Alias: N/A
Costume: N/A
Meta-Human Power:Materialized Protector - Thomas can manifest a guardian that is capable of defending and fighting for Thomas, which he calls Poltergeist. Poltergeist is a part of Thomas, and damage is reflected between the two. For example, if Poltergeist's arm is cut off, Thomas will lose their arm as well.
Invisibility - Poltergeist is capable of rendering itself and Thomas invisible to the naked eye, allowing both of them to accomplish tasks unseen.
Healing - Poltergeist can accelerate the healing time for cuts and broken bones on itself/Thomas and other people. It cannot heal missing limbs or mental damage. Using this ability accelerates the amount of time Thomas can bring Poltergeist out.
Weaknesses or Side-Effects: Thomas cannot walk far on his own without assistance as he is partially disabled. Thomas' power can cause severe optical hemorrhaging if Poltergeist is brought out for too long. The further away Poltergeist is from Thomas, the weaker it becomes.
Personality: Thomas could only be described as inhumanly tenacious, and persistent; once he is committed to something, he will not back down until the deed is done. Though courageous and willing to help at times, this is easily dispersed when Thomas' worth is put into question. When the need arises though, he can be driven by a dark determination, which is attributed to his stubborn and strong-willed nature.
Although his stubbornness might be described as a good thing by some, others might say it's a hindrance as his pride might prevent him from accepting help, even when he clearly needs it.
Background: At the very moment the cargo ship exploded, Thomas was in the passenger seat of his friend's car, driving somewhere near the coast. The blinding flash of light caused the car to spin out of control, crashing into a wall at high speeds and killing his friend, while Thomas suffered paralysis. Thomas woke up in a hospital a day later, now permanently paralyzed from the waist down.
That night when he went to sleep, he was woken by the eerie glow of two bright green lights attached to a bone-white figure hovering over his hospital bed. Understandably, Thomas was terrified, his heart rate spiking, causing the nurse to check in on him. By the time she had arrived the apparition had vanished. Thomas made some excuse about a nightmare, which seemed to assure the nurse that he was fine. Thomas never slept that night, fearful that the specter would reappear. A stream of questions ran through his mind. Most of them involved him questioning his own sanity. Was the apparition really there? Was it actually a hallucination brought on by the painkillers Thomas was taking?
The next day, Thomas attempted to reach for a glass of water, only for the phantom to materialise again and gently handed him the glass. It was then that he realised that he wasn't hallucinating, that the mysterious wraith was actually somehow under his command. Thomas spent the rest of the day practicing his new found abilities, commanding it to do minor tasks out of view until he became competent in using it. Eventually he learned how to use his Guardian's other powers in that hospital room, including healing - which is currently slowly healing his legs, now allowing him to barely walk a couple of steps - and nicknamed it Poltergeist after its appearance and abilities.
Thomas was eventually discharged from the hospital, along with Poltergeist, following close behind. Thomas then moved in with his old high-school friend, who offered to let Thomas to stay with him.
Other: Thomas is slowly regaining the use of his legs and is currently able to walk a few steps unaided.
