Name: Rucker Estes
Alias: Macavity
Age: 24
Alignment: Himself
Loyalty: Independent
Appearance:Slim, well-toned, and rather handsome. Rucker reaches to the height of 5’11 with a head of brown slicked back hair, white fair skin, and light blue eyes. He is generally looks like he belongs to a high social standing, but acts the exact opposite in how one should act. For clothing, he wears business casual clothing, underneath a white colored shirt with a gray suit that fits perfectly for his body. He doesn’t have any costume as he can turn invisible at will, leaving his undetectability his costume.
History: Coming from poor family, he didn’t have much to his name growing up. Living off the bare necessities to live for a family of three. Obviously, Rucker didn’t like this situation one bit as he was growing up. He didn’t like being poor, he didn’t like being bored, he didn’t like his parents for being this subservient to their life. He wanted to have more than this boring life, he wanted to have everything that he didn’t have in this life! He left his family later on, stole every valuable in their home before ditching his good for nothing family, wanting to make something of his life at the ripe old age of fourteen.
He didn’t get a very good education or anything that would get him in a good college, but he did know how to survive off the misfortune of others. Doing everything by himself, he managed to make a good sum of money for a barely aged teen, living in a rather shady complex with even shadier tenants, defending himself from those shady dealers while simultaneously stealing from them as well. It wasn’t the best life, but it was exhilarating by stealing from anyone that bothers him and also making a ton of cash in the process. As he grew older, his ability of petty thievery started to morph into high scale burglary making him more money and the act even harder to manage. Though, it was determined that he wasn’t out to actively harm anyone, he didn’t think beating someone to death to steal their stuff was very entertaining, but stealing right under their noses was the biggest thrill.
As time grew, Rucker started to grow as well with his insatiable appetite of greed and lust. He grew rich, but there were some objects that money just couldn’t buy! Schemes were starting to grow larger and much more dangerous. Stealing priceless items from almost any type of setting! It was just a blast, and his crime spree wasn’t just going to stop at the normal people. Rucker intended to steal from the parahuman organizations as well! Though, not directly, he wasn’t skilled enough to steal from people that could turn someone into ash with their minds. Tracking down individuals, secured areas, and various other hot spots of information and items, Rucker stole everything that he could get his hands on. It was dangerous, and it was fun for the thief, but something rather interesting happened on one of his goody runs. It was information, about a secret organization, an organization that could give people parahuman powers.
This sparked his interest quite a bit, and made him wonder how much better it would be if he could steal from parahumans personally. Entering their homes, knacking all valuables while facing a looming death by their superpowered hands. It was all so entertaining in his mind, and this fantasy was going to happen for the individual. He didn’t know how to contact this organization, but nothing like more stealing to help gather information on the shady organization. Though, in his runs, it didn’t take very long to figure out that barely anyone knew this Cauldron.
However, Rucker would soon know their presence as one day he woke upon a shadowy figure looming upon his bed. It was quite a shock for the criminal, and almost thought that he was about to get murdered for all the things that he had done in the past. Though, it was quite the opposite, something that he had been looking for had come to him instead! A Cauldron informant, wanting to know why Rucker was so interested in the group, and it was obvious on what the thief wanted from the group. Stolen pieces of art, solid gold statues, and currencies from around the world was his payment for superpowers, and they accepted his wish.
Rucker can’t say any further into the whereabouts or how he had gained those powers, but at the end of the day, Macavity had his powers. It was interesting, very interesting to have something other than just pure skill, Rucker now had powers beyond mortal limits and was now going to use those powers to steal everything.
Motivations: Simplify to enjoy oneself, usually in the terms of burglary.
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Likes: - Stealing
- Watching people
- Fun
Dislikes: - Being caught
- Being touched
- Being watched
Derangement: This extreme version of invisibility has made Macavity extremely hard to read. You can never truly know what he is going to do as he follows his whims to a childish level, and that can make him quite indecisive, rather annoying to anyone that would work with him.
Skills: Rucker is very good at the sleight of hand, even outside of his power and an excellent lockpicker. Decent at close quarters combat and aim, nothing to really talk about, but is an excellent sprinter, contortionist, and generally just everything that requires one to be a thief to reach those really hard to reach places while being guarded by parahumans.
Classification: Stranger
Details: This power allows Rucker to disappear completely, there is no chance of being detected by any normal or rarely parahuman means. The power works by affecting the minds of everyone around him at fairly long distances, but it could never work against people almost miles away from the vicinity of himself. Once he turns on his power, the minds around everyone can neither perceive his body or actions at all. Even while being touched, the person's mind wouldn’t be able to recognize the feeling of his body, merely thinking they will be touching air. Also, anything that Rucker wills can disappear in the same manner, but small non-moving targets are easier on the thief than a moving car. So, as a rule of thumb, if a person can actively perceive the user in person while his power is on then they will most likely not be able to perceive himself unless they are miles away and still able to spot the figure with either their senses, parahuman powers, or technology.
Limitations:Simple, Rucker is still in the physical world. Even though if he can’t be perceived, he can still be simply stabbed or shot if someone was randomly swinging or shooting weapons around him. Prerecorded videos can detect him as well, though anyone actively searching him through present means as he is still in the area, they would only be able to detect him after he had left that area. Finally, physical traps still work on him, trigging systems such as wires, pressure plates, or lasers still activate the trap even if nobody knows the whereabouts of the person triggering them.
Equipment: Other than the clothes on his body, Rucker always carries around a tote bag on his body. This bag contains lockpicking set, an electrified police baton, and a 9mm handgun. Other than miscellaneous supplies in the bag, it is mainly for snatching any objects that he deems that is worth stealing while keeping his hands free from all the stolen knick-knacks.
