I present: Dr. Gate, my villain. Let me know if I need to adjust or tone down her abilities. Thank you! [hider=Dr. Stella Gate][b]Number:[/b] #005 [b]Code Name:[/b] Wormhole [b]Classification:[/b] Volatile || [b]Risk Level:[/b] Extremely High [b]Legal Name:[/b] Dr. Stella Gate [b]Preferred Name:[/b] Stella, Dr. Gate [b]Age:[/b] Physically: 24, Literally: 34 || [b]DOB:[/b] 10 September [b]Height:[/b] 5'8" || [b]Weight:[/b] 96 lbs [b]Sex:[/b] F || [b]Gender:[/b] She/Her, They/Them, It/Its [b]Ability(ies):[/b] [list][*] [b][u]Spatial Displacement:[/u] -[/b] Dr. Gate’s body and mind drift in and out of this reality in both random and controllable ways. It creates an isolated wormhole effect which allows Dr. Gate to manipulate herself in space. Using something to ground herself and a manipulation of logic, Dr. Gate is capable of ‘teleportation’ through space. An example is doors. Dr. Gate, using doors as a source of ‘logic’, is capable of walking through one door and exiting out in another, even if those doors are not connected. All spatial movement must be centered around theirself. For instance: Teleporting a plate of food from one table to another will not work. However, through thinking of herself as having a meal, she is capable of bringing herself to either plate in the blink of an eye. However, this logic works both ways. If she is perceived while performing these skills, it can often cause difficulty. If the perceiving person does not believe that she can simply teleport, then she cannot. It is, in large part, why she is a purposefully deceptive villain. It allows greater flexibility for her powers. [*] [b][u]Temporal Displacement[/u] -[/b] Dr. Gate’s body ages at a slowed rate, though use of Spatial Displacement can speed up this rate or slow it further. This means she is capable of living for a far extended period of time. Unfortunately, it means it takes her body longer to recover from wounds and illness. They have reason to believe their Temporal Displacement could allow for more power, but as most people perceive time at a steady rate, the logic manipulation is nearly, if not entirely, impossible with any amount of people within an unknown but miles long radius. [*] [b][u]Universal Drift[/u] -[/b] Both an ability and a detriment: Universal Drift allows Dr. Gate to occupy two universal places and/or times at once. What this means for her as a positive is that it allows her to have the increased intelligence of both versions of herself. Additionally, if she has drifted far enough, it is very difficult for something that isn’t a meta-ability to hit her. She shares the mental capabilities and, depending on how far she has drifted, the memories of this other universe. Unfortunately, the longer she spends drifting without being grounded, the more likely she is to slip into that other universe. That universe is decidedly worse than this one from the memories she has received and, sometimes, the parts of that universe that she can see. Often, these memories can confuse her and it can be difficult to tell what is this reality and the other. It becomes more difficult for her to hold and interact with this reality the further she drifts. Dr. Gate does everything she can to avoid drifting very far.[/list] [b]Physical Description:[/b] ​Dr. Gate is scrawny due to regularly forgetting to take care of her body properly. Her hair is a mess of long, curly silver locks. Her eyes are similarly silver, though depending on how grounded she is, they turn more blue. This weak body is covered by an oversized lab coat and gloves which make her appear much larger. Goggles hold her hair out of her face. Dr. Gate always carries a pocket watch that bears similarities to nixie-tube clocks. [b]Procedure:[/b] Dr. Gate, while in containment, requires constant observation over two different cameras to ensure that she follows the current time and space flow. Physical confines include arms and legs chained to the ground. The less allowed movement, the better. It should not be allowed to perceive the door to the room at any point. Its room must be featureless, save for a single, non-electronic light source. While outside of containment, Dr. Gate’s pocket watch must be outfitted with a device to observe the time stated. This forces Dr. Gate to remain in this time while observed. Additionally, she must be fitted with a location tracker. This tracker should remain unobserved unless Dr. Gate must be reeled in. Other ways of grounding Dr. Gate within this reality for the purposes of control are being studied. [b]History:[/b] Dr. Gate was a recently graduated student who was immediately accepted into a lab she had interned at due to her great intelligence. That lab was studying time travel, especially in terms of meta-humanity. It was Dr. Gate who came up with the design of the TDAM Device (Time Dilation and Manipulation Device). Many had told her that it was dangerous. That her inexperience would be her downfall. She ignored their warnings… and sure enough, the device exploded during testing. This device created a sort of mini-black hole that lasted only seconds. Seconds was all it took to rip the lab to shreds. It was only because Dr. Gate managed to hold onto the device that she was partially protected. However, it wrenched her body from this reality’s hold. Think of it like this: Living things are balloons. Most balloons are tied to the rock of their reality. During that explosion, the balloon that is Dr. Gate did not pop. However, the string that held her to any reality was cut short. The development of her abilities happened immediately and she buried her grief at killing her coworkers was buried under this new scientific development. It did not take her long to realize that her abilities were affected by perception, as with any other thing within this reality. However, it took her a year to realize she was drifting. It started as horrifying visions. Then it turned to memories. Then she realized what she thought were nightmares were simply her perception of the other reality. Desperate to stop this drift, Dr. Gate began experimentation on itself. She found that she needed to ground herself in reality. With few people in her life to rely on and even fewer connections to this timeline due to her research into how to dodge it, it took something else to stay grounded. Drastic action. It had not started with murder. Dr. Gate does not and never has liked hurting others. Originally, it was cruel actions against her coworkers. Then it evolved to the destruction of property. The first murder was accidental… but unlike the cruel actions and property destruction, she managed to stay connected to this reality for several months due to it. To her credit, she tried to go back to the other actions. But they were never enough compared to the relief that murder gave her. Unfortunately, the more she murdered, the less effective she became. It was not long before she realized greater acts of destruction being observed by a higher number of people was what worked the best. Destroyed banks funded its desperate research to save herself. Exploded government buildings funded her continuing life. That same research was also a great threat to reality, as her avenue of saving herself was to disconnect reality from time and space. Essentially, she wanted to snip the string that held the balloon of reality down so that it would drift at the same speed as her own balloon.[/hider]
