[center][h2][color=goldenrod][i]"How cute. You think I'm alone?"[/i][/color][/h2] ~[/center] [b]Name:[/b] Tadashi Moritomi [b]Nickname:[/b] the_C0rsair (Hacker callsign) [b]Age:[/b] 19 [b]Eyes:[/b] Gold [b]Hair:[/b] Black [b]Description:[/b] In a word, disheveled. His clothes, while matching, are rumpled and worn in places. His hair is half-assedly pulled into an untidy ponytail, and he bears a scruffy half-grown beard on his angular face. It's a miracle his glasses aren't similarly askew, if only because he needs them to see. Underneath the shabby exterior, however, there is much more to find. His eyes are clear, bright, and calculating, piercing associates and prospective clients where they stand with his gaze. While slim and somewhat short of stature, his body is toned, lithe, and strong for someone of his size. It's clear that the slovenly appearance is at least partially a ruse to catch the unwary off-guard, but to what extent is uncertain. [b]Country of Origin:[/b] Ethnicity- Japanese; Birthplace- Hawaii [b]Condition:[/b] Adept [b]Biography:[/b] Tadashi Moritomi hasn't been "normal" since as long as he can remember. Even as a child, there was something almost unnerving about his demeanor- quiet, solemn, piercingly observant. He preferred to stay inside and read and learn to going outside with other children. His parents watched his development with concern; though he seemed polite and well-adjusted enough, his seeming aversion to socializing with others threw up a number of red flags. Whatever the case, things only got worse when his Adept powers manifested. While his parents did their best to support their child, even being an Adept, the rest of the world wasn't as forgiving of Tadashi's apparent sin. In school, he was bullied and ostracized by his peers. Other places, he was looked upon with scorn and fear whenever it was discovered that he was an Adept. Some- very few, but enough- threatened or even tried unsuccessfully to hurt or kill him, for no reason other than being who and what he was. In any case, Tadashi's life suffered upheaval after upheaval, as they were forced to move often to try and protect their son whenever the bullying would become too intense. In this, Tadashi's introverted nature was more of a blessing than a curse- after all, he couldn't miss what he never really had in the first place. Finding that his spurning of his peers was justified by their treatment of him, Tadashi turned his attention inward, to his Septimal powers. In private, he began developing them, learning more about how to control them. He learned to sense and read the signals on the air, and then how to control them. He voraciously sought after knowledge, using his powers to effectively funnel information directly into his mind. His fellow students' ire meant less than nothing to Tadashi- he knew he was better than them in every way, and he was secure enough in that knowledge that he never needed to prove it. As intelligent as he was, however, it would almost prove for naught- after graduating, Tadashi found his future seemingly closed off to him in all ways because of his Adept status. No one wanted to hire him, no college or university willing to grant him admission. He almost gave up hope... until Sumeragi caught wind of his abilities. They offered him a job working for their technical department, developing surveillance and power technology for them, which, having no other options available, he accepted. But perhaps hiring an individual with near-omniscience was not the most sound of ideas. As Tadashi worked with Sumeragi, he kept the wider scope of his powers a closely held secret, trying to distance himself from the Sumeragi leash as much as possible. Each day, he secretly probed around the company's files, trying to gain the transparency that he knew the company would not provide. His natural distrust and paranoia ended up paying off, stumbling upon a secret so horrific, that even he was repulsed by it. Knowing what he knew, he could not, in good conscience, continue working for them. Cutting his losses, Tadashi broke away from Sumeragi, taking enough equipment with him to sustain himself. Nowadays, Tadashi has used the "startup" he stole from his former employers to make a name for himself as the hacker and mercenary known as "the_C0rsair," taking only jobs that aligned closely enough to his newfound moral scruples. And with each successful mission and each paycheck, Tadashi is planning, plotting, scheming. Building weapons and tools for the sole purpose of fulfilling his newly found life goal: cutting Sumeragi down to size.

Using his powers, Tadashi can increase the power of his pistols' shots far beyond their normal capabilities. He can also fire special bullets that directly link Tadashi to whatever technological device they strike, allowing him to control them with far greater ease.

They can be used for surveillance, defending choke points, direct combat, fire support, and more. [*] [b]Astral Mind [Remote Manipulation: Mass] (50)-[/b] Tadashi can sense, understand, and manipulate various electronic signals, allowing him to telepathically survey through camera feeds, internet signals, and the like. He can also access and hack into computers in this way. The effect is amplified on any target he's struck with Buidhe or Dearg's special bullets. [*] [b]Can't Stop The Signal [Remote Manipulation: Animal] (75)-[/b] By concentrating, Tadashi can override control over any non-sapient robot, drone, or similar entity, binding them to his control. Depending on encryption strength, this process can take time. This power's effectiveness increases when used on any target he's struck with Buidhe or Dearg's special bullets. [*] [b]High Capacity [Remote Manipulation: Group] (50)-[/b] Tadashi can control large groups of robotic subordinates at once, either those of his Astral Legion, or those he's taken control of using Can't Stop The Signal. His limits aren't well-defined, though it does depend on his EP reserves how many he can bring to bear at once, and for how long.
