Desriptive Words[/u]
- Cold
- Distant
- Emotionless
James is distant and tends to keep seperate from most walks of life. This is by choice, and because he simply feels it is for the best. He's always known things would turn out for the worst, and because he believes this, he's psychologically convinced himself being around other people is...bad. He can't stand being around other people for any period of time, unless they can relate in some way, in which case he can tolerate it, but still despises it. And because of this, it is extremely diffucult to get through to him in any manner whatsoever.
However, confusingly and in conflict with his views on being around other people, he can't stand to see suffering of any kind, and goes out of his way to help. He will do all he can to help and solve the problem, and then disappear as quickly as he can. And if he is forced into an extended stay in the company of others, he will try to remain distant from them, and avoid them, speaking as little as possible and not even acknowledging them if he can help it. But he isn't rude, and will speak if spoken to, and try to be civil, at the least.[/blockquote]Extraordinary Features
Powers & AbilitiesWeaknesses
- James' entire body is in a constant state of dimensional flux. As a result, he can alter his body and become intangible and semi-transparent at will, and while in this state all types of physical matter pass through him, making him quite impervious to most types of physical assaults. And with enough focus and concentration, James can render himself completely invisible to all types of sight and imaging, though it is quite mentally taxing.
- Upon contact with James in his fluxed state, a person will feel a horrible, unpleasant chill, as if Death had grabbed them. This results in numbness, sluggishness, and loss of physical strength and movement for a few moments, and general numbness and unpleasant pain for several minutes afterward.
- James is a decently powerful user of telekinesis, able to manipulate up to five tons of matter, and reconstruct it and re-shape it at his whim. He can alter the molecular level of material, to change its density and structural integrity, and can even create a barrier of sorts capable of withstanding a large amount of punishment. High-caliber gunfire, and small-yield explosives, as well as several thousand pounds worth of blunt force can be absorbed by the barriers, but they are not indestructible. He can even create platforms and walls out of the same energy, and even craft weapons and objects out of it with enough focus. And, naturally, he can assault and attack the minds of others, and defend himself from similar mental attacks, with a decent level of proficiency. His telekinetic energy takes the form of a dark purple flame-like glow when in use, and tends to glow around his hands and forearms.
- Enhanced Strength/Agility/Speed/Endurance/Stamina: James' physical attributes are all enhanced far beyond the scope of normal humans. He can lift up to 10 tons at maximum exertion, run nearly five times as fast as the finest of human athletes, his bodily movements are damn near perfect while still allowing for human error, he can survive much more punishment than the average human, including having small arms fire not even break his skin, and being able to survive a grenade going off literally in his face without any major wounds, and function at peak capacity for up to twelve hours before he even begins to show any signs of wearing out.
- James possess a handy trait called 'Dead Sight'. This allows him to see through just about anything. Physical objects become clear as air, and he can even see the dead and see through illusions and magical obstacles. It is quite useful, and his eyes glow a bright blue when in use.
- James also has an innate aura about him, which extends for roughly three meters in all directions around him. This area is called, by most who have encountered it, a 'Dead Zone'. Within this small area, all superpowers his opponents may have are slowly drained away. They are not nullified, rather slowly weakened, and generally this causes a loss of focus and a headache as well as some slight mental slowness as symptoms to show its progression. Upon leaving the 'Dead Zone', the powers will be restored completely within a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on how long they were within the 'Dead Zone'.
- To go along with his ability to create weapons, James is a skilled combatant. He specializes in using a sword and shield in combination, but he can use any type of weapon with some degree of skill, and he's no slouch when unarmed. He's proficient in several styles of martial arts, and has some knowledge and basic skill with several styles of swordplay and other armed combat types.
- James has given himself training in firearms and, as such, is proficient in most types of handguns and the like, and has basic knowledge of rifles available for civilian purchase, and some not legally available, as well. He is an expert shot with most types of handgun, and a decent enough shot with rifles and the like.
- James is susceptible to harm and injury just like any other person, it's just harder to actually cause him injury. But given enough punishment, he can be beaten and killed like anyone else.
- Magic. Any and all magic is disastrous upon James. It reacts horribly with his fluxed state of existence and wreaks havoc, throwing off his focus and weakening his powers in addition to causing him a great deal of harm.
Biography[/font][/color]
The Role-Player[/font][/size][/color]
- Current Residence: Most Likely Gotham
The early parts of James' life are, for the most part, a mystery. He doesn't remember most of his past, and doesn't talk about what he does remember. He just appear, for all intents and purposes, around the time he turned twenty. And, to the world, he had just literally showed up out of the blue. Without a record of his birth to be found anywhere, and no way of identifying himself, he was treated suspiciously and with contempt and distaste, at the least.
It grew bad enough that he became wanted as a criminal for bogus charges, and things only got worse when they discovered his powers. He had no identity as far as the system went, and therefore, was an unregistered superpowered person, and by extension, a criminal. But every time they managed to track him down, James just seemed to vanish without a trace. It was baffling, and after a while of this going on, James grew tired of it. It did nothing except reinforce his opinion that interactions with people were over-rated, unnecessary, and bad for his health and existence.
And so, after a year or two of this, James faked his own death. Quite easy to do, and quite convincingly done, as well. He hid himself from the world for several months, until circulation about him had died down, and then he re-surfaced, with his current name and went about trying to have some semblance of a 'normal' life. But somehow...trouble would always seem to find him, where ever he went. And he would always have to flee. Because fighting was futile, and would only make the efforts to find him increase.
And finally, he managed to shake off pursuit, by hiding himself away right where no one would think to look for him; right out in the open, as an ordinary citizen. He did his best to blend into life, and succeeded with some diffuculty. With how much he hated being around others, it wasn't easy, but he managed it, and eventually, the pursuit was given up for good. He would never find out the real reason that he was being sought out, but he wasn't exactly curious or eager to find out, so it was all for the best, in the end.
And so, finally being free to do as he pleased, James went back to his old life; keeping seperate and isolated from the world as best he could, but still helping preserve things as they should be. He always functions from the shadows and rarely steps into the light or lets himself be known, but he's always there, and probably always will be, for quite some time...

- Sample Role-Play Post:
"Why...do I even bother...?" James whispered. He was sitting in his favorite old chair, resting his face in his hands. "The world is not meant for those who are not nautrally abiding by its laws. Those of us with 'power' are shunned and feared unless we go out of our way to appease the world and save it... But that is not the lot of most of those with power... Most seek to abuse it and do great and terrible things..." He sighed, shaking his head as he slowly lifted his head.
"But those with power who do seek to save the world...they are the ones adored and loved, even though many of them now seem to be on the wrong side of the 'law.' If the law is so twisted and warped as to brand heroes as criminals and traitors, then it is meant to be broken." He rose to stand and walked to a window. "If the law is so idiotic..." He lightly clenched a fist, and then shook his head. "...then why does it even exist?"
He turned away and just closed his eyes, lapsing into silent thought. He would remain like that for several minutes, or even a few hours. Just thinking and mulling things over in his mind, as he was so prone to do...
