[b]Real Name:[/b]
Bailey Cooper

[b]Superhero Alias:[/b]
D-Code

[b]Age:[/b]
16

[b]Gender:[/b]
Male

[b]Species:[/b]
Human

[b]Powers:[/b]
[i]Technological Possession[/i]: Bailey has the ability to merge his physical form with any form of technology, gaining complete control over it. The possessed technology turns a deep crimson in color with various black circuits spread over the surface. Bailey is able to alter the structure and function of the afflicted machinery beyond it's intended purposes, within reason. For example, he can take control of a desktop computer and grant it the ability to fire lasers from the screen.

While possessing a machine, Bailey is weak to anything that is generally bad for technology. Electricity can fry his circuits, an EMP can temporarily shut down his control of the machine and he can even be susceptible to cyber-viruses that will disorient and afflict him like a common cold would a human. Needless to say any physical damage to the machine will also hurt him.

[b]Abilities:[/b]
[i]IT Nerd[/i]: Bailey is a very tech savvy young man and can work his way around a computer with exceptional skill. His ability to code and program is top tier and his superhero alias, D-Code, is well known across the country as a fearsome hacker. He exposes corrupt politicians, CEO's and other influential figures by cracking their personal accounts; bringing light to their corruption and sharing it with the world. He's also quite good at video games, which he likes to brag about to the other Sentinels. He maintains a gaming blog/stream in the majority of his off time which he is very proud of despite his lackluster popularity.

[i]Photographic Memory[/i]: Bailey has very high rote memory capabilities, able to memorize most things he sees in great detail after only seeing it once or twice. However he tends to be quite a space case and rarely recalls anything actually useful unless there is a sufficient visual or audio prompt for him to go off of.

[b]Equipment:[/b]
[i]Lil' Slugger[/i]: Bailey doesn't usually rely on fighting without his power, but he does carry around his trusty aluminum baseball bat just in case he needs to whack a baddie.

[i]Smartphone[/i]: Bailey wouldn't be caught dead without his phone.

[b]Personality:[/b]
Bailey is your stereotypical dissatisfied teenage youth who thinks he's so much more cooler than you because he posts long-winded essays about his opinions onto random internet message boards. He has a smug aura about him and likes to talk a big talk to the other Sentinels, but lacks the physical strength or motivation to really follow through. Even despite his lack of ambition, Bailey is extremely competitive and easily jibed into aggressive contest with his peers with a few throwaway remarks regarding his skills. Though his tendency to get distracted easily usually leads to him losing said contests.

Even despite his rather egotistical attitude, he is perceived as quite shy when not hiding behind the anonymity of a computer screen. He has a habit of speaking using internet slang in normal conversation, which most find rather perplexing. He'll even make obscure references to video games in real life as if his own existence is a game to be won. There is a nagging persistence in the back of his mind to be useful to the other Sentinels; an insecurity which usually leads him to not taking criticism from them very well.

Truthfully, Bailey is only known to really give his all to the select few interests he devotes most of his time to; blogging, hacking and gaming. While most will write him off as an unmotivated slacker, his fellow Sentinels have seen the fiery glint in his eyes as his fingers fly across the keyboard to secure some valuable intel for his team's latest mission. His addictive personality turns him into a force to be reckoned with when he decides to devote himself entirely to a cause.



[b]Brief Backstory:[/b]
Another foster child raised in the bustling heart of Rush City, Bailey wasn't what you'd consider a particularly eye catching kid. Yet despite his generic appearances, the young boy was born with a natural affinity towards technology. It was as if his physical body could deeply resonate with the machines; a strange power which he honed over the years. Unfortunately, Bailey did not originally use his powers for good. Rather, he would use his ability to hack and manipulate technology for petty vengeance against any kids who bullied him or anyone on the various online communities he frequented who annoyed him.

Eventually his petty crimes caught the attention of the Sentinels, who easily found him. In a rather pathetic display, the young man bawled his eyes out and begged for their forgiveness. Seeing Bailey as simply a young man led astray rather than a villain, he was taken under their wing. With the Sentinels, Bailey would turn a new leaf and become known as D-Code; a hacker famous across America as a Sentinel who exposed the various scandals among the political and business world.

While he likes to act cool, the Sentinels are the first real family Bailey has ever had and he cares for them deeply.

[b]Arc Ideas:[/b]
[i]Hack the Planet[/i]: Tensions rise among the Sentinels as a series of cyber crimes begin terrorizing the citizens of Rush City. To make matters worse; Bailey's superhero persona, 'D-Code', is being labelled as the prime suspect. Desperate to clear his name, and worrying that his team mates will accuse him of returning to his old ways, he begs the Sentinels to help him catch the true culprit behind this hacking spree.

[i]Big Boys Don't Cry[/i]: Bailey begins to question his place in the Sentinels after a series of screw ups on the groups latest missions cause the team to grow more frustrated with him. Bailey, wishing to be seen as a valuable member of the team, recklessly attempts to go after a major villain on his own. He ends up being caught and held hostage by said villain, who uses him as leverage against the Sentinels.

[b]Other:[/b]
Despite being a shut-in, one of Bailey's favorite things to do with the other Sentinels is have a fun game of baseball.

Bailey's role in the Sentinels is less of an offensive one, and more akin to that of a Navigator. He provides them with Intel as well as uses his abilities to ensure that the teams missions run smoothly. He does have combat potential, but is not nearly as effective as his teammates.
