[hider=Shinto Sogeki][b]Name:[/b] Shinto Sogeki [i]Nickname:[/i] Shin; Silent Sniper [b]Age: [/b]38 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Personality: [/b] Shin is that one guy in the room who can go a whole day without saying a single word to anyone. He doesn’t even have to look in a person’s general direction to get whatever point he may or may not be trying to get across. However, on the chance that he does talk — which is a rarity — Shinto will express his demeanor in a serious, often threatening way. He does not mean to do that on purpose, though. It has always been something he did over the course of his life, even in his youth. The more he would come off that way, the more it seemed like he was doing it sub-consciously and not even knowing he was actually coming off as threatening. Truth is that Shin’s a nice guy, but his intimidating, silent nature covers that part of him. He tries to keep his emotions to himself. As a sniper, he needs to keep a cool head all of the damn time and if he were to boast and roar like a certain plant-wielding female he knows, then he would never be able to take the shots that he is known for always getting. Now, that’s not to say that he doesn’t express emoiton, cause he does. He has a nasty habit of showing annoyance like it’s no one’s business. That’s because he gets annoyed way too often and it will show when someone first meets him. It can either be the little things that someone does or just a collected amount of things that some people do to annoy the crap out of him. [b]Appearance: [/b] Just by looking at [url=http://i.imgur.com/ttQIUh6.jpg]Shinto[/url], one would get the idea that he really isn’t the talking type. From the way his posture is and right to the expressions on his lightly-tanned face is. Just everything about him speaks “the silent type”. His long, sandy brown hair adds to that. No one can read his eyes as he constantly keeps them on, even while indoors. Though, that isn’t without reason. His eyes are severely deformed and have an odd coloring of pink with a hint of black around that pink hue. He can see perfectly and all that, just isn’t pleasing to look at. His height is around average, so for those doubting that, well don’t. For specifics, his height is around five foot nine and his build presents itself in a slightly muscular manner and in numeric terms, around the two-hundred range. Shin’s choice of attire is something to leave for curiosity. The only parts of his body shown are his fingertips and his head. The rest of his body is covered by his longsleave undershirt and his red vest he wears. He further adds his clothing by wear two armbands on his upper arms that have a black base with a green-like light in the center of it. His lower-body attire is simply black pants that are comforted to fit and an array of belts around them. His shoes are black as well and they have a similar green outline that matches the shade that his armbands have. [b]Faction: [/b]Totally against the Empire [b]Weapon:[/b] Silent Destroyer: Shinto's most valuable possession. See picture for reference. [b]Powers/Abilities:[/b] [b]Telekinesis:[/b] Just like his best friend and all those who were experimented on by the scientists of Trident, Shinto’s powers manifested at a very young age. His powers, while more grounded as compared to his peers, were just as equally as dangerous. His abilities came in the form of Telekinesis, which to most is known as Psychokinesis. This special kind of ability allows the user to mentally manipulate matter. This of course garnered some unwanted attention on his part, but the end result would be that his ability to control things with his mind expanded far beyond what anybody thought was possible. Even at the young age he was, it was apparent that he was highly skilled as by age nine, he was able to bind objects and keep them grounded. He also showed the ability to make thinks float as well as augment his own physical strength that most just called Psionic Strength. Also at this same age, Shinto had showed that he was able to both pull and push objects. As the years went on and as the experiments went on, Shinto’s ability far exceeded what the scientists could even control. His mental prowess came be so great that he broke out. He was able to do this simply with his mind and it came in the form of manipulating others with his mind, making them move, inducing fear into their minds. Even when the scientists denied him passage when he was trying to escape, he would blast them away with pure telekinetic force. When the numbers were against him, he created constructs of pure telekinetic energy, which also aided to his escape. When he was able to escape, Shinto left that life behind and this was when he was only sixteen years old. In those years, he developed his powers gradually, but he chose not to increase them to masterful levels just cause he knew he would hurt people if he did and it wouldn’t be of his own choosing. Shinto also knew of his limits and knew if he pushed himself too much, he would wear himself out and as a result, may end up dying from it. Though, he does know that from his constant using of his telekinetic powers that his body somehow enhanced itself to a point where how his body reacted, how much force he was able to put into something, and just about every little thing that he did before was enhanced greatly and was far beyond than that of simple human levels, this also included his ability to take in knowledge and from that he was able to learn a few styles of martial arts. [b]Flawless Accuracy [/b] The area of Shinto’s brain that is the center for aim, accuracy, and precision is drastically increased. Shinto would only need to aim for an instant before he can precisely hit a target with a weapon or a blow. He can even be one to judge extremely long distances amazingly and accurately so that he can gauge the strength needed to launch a projectile so that it hits his target(s) perfectly. Shinto has also been know to be resistant to perception-distorting abilities. If there is a target that is moving, Shinto can calculate the best method to hit the target, even if there are visual obstacles like smoke and vegitation. He will be able to hit the target regardless of all of that. Shinto is also able to compensate for environmental factors that would normally throw off his aim like wind, air resistance, gravity, and radiant heat. He does this by aiming slightly to the side and above his target, so that upon launching his chosen projectile, the environmental factors he has calculated and compensated for will direct back to its intended target.[/hider]
