The Blessing of a Curse

Name: Mathew Derrickson (he pervers to be called Matt)
Age: 16

Appearance: A smallish, round, almost always angry looking face is hidden below a short cut of dark blonde hair. He is somewhat tall for his age, standing at roughly 175cm.
His body is slender, yet muscular. probably the result of years of little food and rough conditions. Usually he wears the light blue uniform provided for him.

On his right wrist he wears a simple metal ring made of lead. It has only one defining feature, which is its locking mechanism. He was forced to wear this bracelet when he was still a patient, to keep him from escaping.
These days the bracelet unlocked as a sign off good faith, but Matt is only allowed to take it off, in case of emergency.

Personality: Once upon a time, Matt was a kind and rebellious little man. Always thinking about escaping the and discovering the world beyond. Him AND his 'friends'. But those days now seem like a distance past, or perhaps even a childrens dream.
It is amazing how quickly one can grow up given the right circumstances. He has seen enough death and tragedy for more than a lifetime, let alone more than a single teenager should have had to bear.

These days Mathew is hard on everyone, especially the patients. He probably still has a good hearth somewhere, but if he does, he rarely shows it. Or perhaps being hard is his way of being kind, making sure nobody else would be foolish enough, and suffer through his fatal mistakes. Between his cold attitude and the fact that he is quick to anger, some people may even call him unreasonable at times.

Class: Corrupted
Weapons/Abilities:

-Phasing-

Matt has the ability to shift the atoms in an object/person he touches, in such a way that it can move trough another solid object with ease. This even works if said object is his own body.

However there are three main downsides to his phasing.
The first is that for unknown reason zink and lead are immune to his powers. Nor can he swift another object trough these materials. (basically there is no way for him to use his phasing on lead or any objects containing zink, like common batteries.)

Secondly, there is the drain. It is impossible for him to move a object the size of his own body trough a concrete wall for more than 4 times in the span of an hour, or risk collapse due to exhaustion.

Finally there is the willingness rule. Objects may not have free will and can't 'object' to his manipulation, however for some odd reason, if he intends to use his abilities on other people, that person needs to be WILLING and UNAFRAID to do walk through a wall, if this person doesn't want to, or if he/she is afraid to do so, they would simply hit the wall like they would have otherwise.

-Ghostly senses-

Matt can see and hear trough walls and other solid objects as if they weren't there at all. Making it easy for him to follow a conversation on the other side of a wall, or ever two rooms down. Distance is of coarse still off influence, like it would in the open air. In order to see, light -even if only a tiny bit- needs to reflect of an object. This is no different for Mathew. Meaning that he cannot see into places that have no source of light.

This power does have some other strange limits as well.
For one, Matt has to make a conscious choice what he wants to see. (for example: I want to see what's behind this wall/in this box') This means that it is still possible to hide things from him, because he has to know the place exists in order look in it. (if that makes any sense.)

And for some reason, objects made of lead block his powers. Even he cannot peer trough those. Sounds are less straightforward and therefor only stop him from hearing if source of the sounds is concealed in lead from every angle. Though it may get muffled a bit.

Other: When you have been inside these facilities for as-long as Matt has, you cannot help but loose a few friend along they way.
Some may have died on the operating table, other where shot in an act of defiance. Matt has tried to escape several times, each time less and less friends remained.

'there are only two ways out of this place: either as one of their own... or in a body bag.'

@RokkuHoshi Thank you, I thought so too.
There were already a couple of interesting characters submitted, and I definitely did not want to lower the bar, my pride was at stake, hehe.

As for his weaknesses, I figured I'd take a power that would be more like a tool, perhaps even a piece in a puzzle. But never THE answer to the plot. So the extreme limits where necessary to keep the pieces nice and tidy. ;)

In anycase, can you give me an ETA on when we are going to start this?

The Blessing of a Curse

@BelwicketI updated my character sheet.

I honestly thought I had done so already, but I must have forgotten to press the save button.
...I keep trying to press the edit button for a second time (sigh) I never learn!

EDIT: Doubt anyone has seen the old version, but.... I manged to change the secondary power into something a bit more fitting to his first one.
-It still needs a better name though, anyone?

Also... I feel like anyone with any kind of 'copycat' should probably get some additional 'precautions' installed upon him.
@ScarifarI'm looking at you Alex Gardinar!
We wouldn't want him to steal Math's powers and run off now, would we?

I hope this character is not too dark...?
in anycase let me know what you think.

The Blessing of a Curse

This sounds a lot like something I tried to run a few years back... god I feel old just thinking back that far...
I feel so nostalgic, I almost want to drag up my old files again, and see if I can do things better this time around...
but.. let's not do that shall we?
Yours seems like there has been put much more thought into it anyway... no need to compete.

In fact, I might end up joining...

Yes! I think I will do that!

Where do I sign up?!?

Trionfi - A Fool's Game

This sounds interesting.
not to sure how this will shape up when people actually start to play.
But I'm definitely up for the ride, wherever it may lead.

Threads of Power

"sorry I'm late." A man dressed in worn-out monk garbs said, rubbing the back of his head as he entered through the door. there was a sense of sincerity in his voice, that wasn't really reflected on his calm yet playful facial-expression. On the other side of the door there where two guards who looked rather annoyed, but the man paid neither of them any attention as he closed the door in front of them. Without saying anything else, the man casually swung the heavy looking book he had been carrying on his back over and let it drop softly on the ground against a nearby wall. He then turned to the group. "My name is Marcus Thanis." He stated with the emphasis on his last name and then paused. As if his last name was supposed to mean something to these people. "I am the keeper of the great library of this fine city, and the master of all the knowledge it contains."

For a man living in the capital, It may be embarrassing to be late in a group of people who had come from all over the country, or perhaps even further. Sure, some may argue that 'the closer you live, the easier it is to underestimate the time spent travelling.' but, not only is that a poor excuse, and In Marcus his case, it may be true, but it really had become a bad habit of his he had developed in the last few years. Of the few appointments he had to keep, he probably had not been on time for a single one. Yet, there was no sign of him trying to change it in any way.
