[b]Code Name:[/b] Revel [b]Real Name:[/b] Mòric Syg [b]Age:[/b] 29 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Nationality:[/b] Hungarian [b]Powers:[/b] The only superpower Revel has is a limited form of precognition. Though he can't see the future, technically, Revel simply [i]knows[/i] it. Knowledge from the future simply manifests in his brain, like a hidden memory suddenly provoked. Revel is able to identify that said information is from the future, as well as from how far forward it came. The longest he's ever been able to know something before its occurrence is two hours. After developing this power for a while, Revel realized that this knowledge comes from futures that [i]can be[/i], not futures that [i]are[/i], and grew to be able to figure out the consequences of certain actions before performing them. Revel wields two bracers that each contain lengths of cord. In response to certain nerve impulses, the cords can be extended, retracted, or electrified. This is not a power; merely a weapon. [b]Origins/History:[/b] [hider=The String Puller] Though he was born in Hungary, Mòric's parents had no intention of keeping him there. The road to the United States was a hard one, but in the end the little family departed for the new world. They had heard tales of a land of opportunity, where even the poorest men could become legendary through the strength of their will and the work of their hands, but after arriving they found another side to the story altogether. Nowadays Revel remembers little, particularly the circumstances leading up to the defining event of his youth, but he keenly recalls the stinging abandonment. Though Revel inwardly suspects they couldn't take properly take care of him or provide for him, an acknowledged possibility is that they simply didn't want him after all. Luck smiled upon the fair-haired dark child, however, and a traveling carnival of dubious repute took him in. A childhood spent among such a wacky assembly greatly influenced his character; Revel learned hierarchy, trickery, theatricality, deception, and how to manipulate. As a teenager he served as the ringmaster, the youngest to date, introducing and playing a part with incredible feats to keep the crowd enthralled and its money in hand. In his spare time, he attended several schools as the circus traveled, getting expelled from one after another but never giving up his quest for knowledge. Revel's own psyche, already decidedly misaligned, continued down its skewed path. His ambitions and intellect reached far, far beyond entertainment. It was during this time that he realized he had supernatural ability to see a short way into the future, and without either questioning or hesitation he accepted his gift and put it to use. Years later, a new boss took over the carnival, despite the rumors of abductions and experimentation. Willow, daughter of a recent immigrant to the United States from Vietnam and a self-made woman, was determined to set the despicable community to rights. Slowly, her enlightening, positive influence and vast intelligence permeated every carny of the lot save one: Revel. After weeks in seclusion, avoiding his boss while devouring company funds at an incredible rate, he emerged from his mobile laboratory bedecked in strange clothes and wielding sinister technology. He approached Willow at her desk and let loose a swarm of nanites upon her. The microscopic swarm of robots integrated themselves with the woman from head to toe, placing her squarely under Revel's influence. Revel's first triumph catalyzed a wave of terror as the entire carnival collapsed, all resources heading straight to the String Puller as he weaseled his way into infamy. Shortly thereafter Revel disappeared, and began in secret a cult using his precognitive abilities to gain followers. Guessing that he wasn't the only superpowered person in the world, Revel set about making armaments for himself and his followers, and endeavored to learn more about others like him. When Revel caught wind through an associate named Quaily that the MetaOps project and been formed and was combing the country for suitable recruits. With this in mind, Revel severed ties from his cult, making sure his past was well hidden, left his second-in-command in charge, and allowed himself to be captured by MetaOps operatives during a feigned robbery. When offered a chance for redemption by project administrators, he grudgingly conceded. [/hider] [b]Personality:[/b] Revel is slimy and secretive, with little to no morality limiting his ambitions and the meeting of his goals. He is outwardly charming but inwardly misogynistic and narcissistic. In fact he is incredibly sexist, enjoying having control over females in any aspect from their fear to their form. His ultimate passion is to control and contort, and he has a curiosity that has led him to experiment. The fact that he has created a cult with him as the head is a testament to his manipulative ability and charisma. Revel is the ultimate ringleader, the shadow and the plot behind the front lines, the cult leader playing chess with people. A knack for adapting to the situation at hand and learning from his failures make him particularly dangerous. In everyday circumstances, he is very capable of feigning ordinary emotion, and hides his...eccentricities. One thing he greatly enjoys is to guess what other people are going to say before they do so, and then be right. [b]Appearance: [/b] Revel wears the same gear he wore during his feigned robbery, reasoning that it will 'remind of the past self he's trying to redeem'. He is slightly farsighted and speaks with a hint of a Hungarian accent. [img]http://th09.deviantart.net/fs71/300W/f/2014/214/9/0/untitled_by_mistermiener-d7tcvr1.jpg[/img]
