What Makes You Tick?
Powers:
- The Hunger - Simply referred to as "the Hunger", Connor is unable to survive or use his other powers without leeching life forces, physical energy, or positive emotions from other organic beings.
- Electrokinesis - Connor is capable of manipulating electricity; his use of this ability ranges from mild, numbing shocks to devastating electrical fields that can stun or surround an object or enemy. He can also use a form of chain lightning that leaps from target to target, shocking them.
- Emotional Manipulation - Connor is able to manipulate the negative emotions of a target, including fear (causing anything from slight unease to sheer terror; can cause an opponent to flee in panic or remain rooted to the spot in horror), anger (ranging from mild irritation to consuming rage; allows him to turn allies against each other), and sadness (from slightly unhappy to severe depression; can result in enemies breaking down in tears), as well as other similar feelings.
Weaknesses:
- As stated previously, Connor cannot survive or use his other abilities without frequently draining life force, physical energy, or positive emotion from organic beings.
- Connor can take damage just as a normal human can, and can be killed in any number of ways, including asphyxiation, drowning, being shot to death, being stabbed to death, being beaten to death, decapitation, falling from a great height, being thrown to the lions, etc...
- Psychic assaults have a devastating effect on Connor.
Weapons:
- None
Unique Skills:
- Master Strategist - Although Connor has no issues with diving into the fray, he is equally skilled in the area of strategy, turning guards and prisoners against each other and manipulating those around him so that he can achieve power in the Abyss. He is currently creating a "Master Plan" to take over Gehenna.
Character Information
Character Personality: Having grown up in the Abyss level of Gehenna with abusive serial killer parents, Connor is not exactly a model citizen; in fact, he is a cruel, brutal person who kills or attempts to kill whoever gets in his way or irritates him, even mildly, even killing for the sole reason that he feels like it. An incredibly cunning and manipulative person, he has many of the guards and prisoners in the Abyss under his thumb. Connor also has a complete and utter lack of sympathy for anyone, and has no remorse for the horrendous actions he commits. He is a brilliant strategist and an arrogant lone wolf; despite his armada of guards and inmates, he rarely speaks to them unless delivering orders, and refuses to fight alongside them, believing them to be unworthy of fighting with him.
Character History: Connor's parents were a pair of serial killers, who, after several years of being on the run, were caught, arrested, and incarcerated on Gehenna. It was there that Connor was conceived, in the darkest corner of the Abyss. His parents were abusing him from as soon as he was four years old, regularly beating him with straps in order to "toughen him up". At the age of 12, Connor had had enough, and murdered his parents by electrocuting his father to death, and inducing such severe depression in his mother that she committed suicide.
At 14, Connor used his electrokinesis to fry a guard from the inside out, earning him the respect and fear of the other inmates. From this point on, he began to murder guards and prisoners on a regular basis, essentially building himself an empire in the Abyss. Eventually, Connor began to develop the first stage of his "Master Plan" to take over each level of Gehenna, eventually hoping to claim the planet as his own.
Currently, Connor is at the age of 29 and has killed more than any other prisoner in the Abyss. He is still in the process of fully devising his Master Plan, and intends to begin the takeover as soon as he has finished the last stage.
Sample Post
The Sample: Connor leaned back in the uncomfortable chair provided for him by a guard, clasping his hands together, eyes clamped shut. He was dwelling on how to successfully pull off the first stage of the Master Plan: escape from the Abyss. He could always try and force the guards to set him free, but he really preferred to figure out a way himself. Sighing, he stood up and glared at the nearest inmate. "I need some entertainment," he muttered, raising his hand and pointing a finger at the prisoner.
The man instantly began to tremble in terror, for reasons he couldn't understand. He turned and began to race down the hall, when a burst of electricity shot from Connor's hand and struck him in the back, causing the man to collapse, fried. Connor quickly turned to a nearby guard and glared at him. "Clean it up," he said. "Or you'll be next." The guard, fear in his eyes, rushed to the body and began to drag it away. Connor stepped back into the shadows, a small grin on his face.
