[hider=Johnny Valos][u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u] [b]Name:[/b] [i]Johnathon Kin of the Valos Lineage[/i] [b]Nickname/Alias/Etc:[/b] [i]Johnny, The Revolver[/i] [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Age:[/b] 20 [b]Height:[/b] 5'10 [b]Weight:[/b] 165 [b][u]Appearance[/u][/b] [b]Hair Color:[/b] Black [b]Eye Color:[/b] Blue [b]Ethnicity:[/b] Brazilian and Italian [b]Physical Appearance:[/b] Johnny has the visage of a man turned into a monster. Many that encounter him will immediately notice that he is quite the gruff person. Emanating an insanely off-putting aura of aggression and viciousness; he looks quite shady, and been in way too many fights to count. Like someone you'd see in the movies as the shady guy, bad-guy or hired muscle. He's not one you'd want to meet in a dark ally. Notably, the other thing that people immediately notice is that he has a monstrous claw-scar on his face. Like a beast slashed his face open. This scar starts on the right-side of his face, at his hair-line. With three of the "claw points" going down his face, past his eye (Which has, thankfully, been left intact) then down his cheek all the way to his neck. Another scar goes down his nose, through his lips and teeth, and ends on his chin. The last claw-point goes down his face not too far away from his ear, but ends at the start of his neck like the others. If one were to observe him without any clothes, they would notice that Johnny's being is covered in heaving bruising and scars. His body has plenty of bullet, and blade scars. One notable scar is one on his shoulder, similar to the one on his face (Claw scar). This scar starts on his shoulder and goes down his chest. That out of the way Johnny is a man in shape. A man in his "career" absolutely needs to be. He's muscular, no where near body-builder, enough to impress most ladies if he removes his shirt (They'll be less than impress once this see his face). His legs are also very muscular due to all the running he does. Johnny's body is also shapely in the nice way. With broad-shoulders and a wide chest. He's average heighted, being 5'11, and his weight is exact given his muscles. Johnny's skin is a delicious light-caramel color - Because his mixed Brazilian and Caucasian descents. Because of the many aforementioned scars and bruises, his skin is less than perfect. Johnny also has a few tattoos on his body, hidden under his clothing. On his chest, Johnny has a black, complex tattoo of several different kinds of flowers, with black flames integrated into it's design. On the base of his neck he has a large tattoo of a rose flower, which is visible depending on what he's wearing. Aside from all the scars Johnny has, he is quite attractive, on par with male models. His good looks inherited from his Father. Johnny's head is wide and rectangle-shaped, with his facial features being heavily squared, pronounced, and well-defined. He has a large, and bulky chin, one that has a cleft in between it. His ears are medium-sized, and thin, not too notable, they have a subtle point at the very top. His nose is quite small, with a long bridge and thin nostrils. He has another subtle point at the very tip of it. His cheeks are quite flat, and lack the roundness that most other cheeks would. His lips are wide full for a male, but they're thin and small. He usually keeps them tucked in. Inherited from his mother is his eyes. His eyes are medium sized, pointed at the tips, and have a beautiful shade of ocean blue color. His eyes are easily the best looking eyes on the entire planet! Usually Johnny's facial expression is either a scowl, plaintive bored look, or a arrogant smirk. Johnny's hair is kept in a neatly slicked back style. It is straight and is neck length. It's a very black color and very well groomed. [b]Attire:[/b] Johnny's attire trades out style and flashiness for practicality. Johnny usually wears the attire that the generic mysterious stranger-type character (That you'd see in the movies) would. He usually wears a large dark-brown long-coat - That's way too damaged to be worn stylishly. That does it's job in concealing a great deal of Johnny's body. The good thing about his long-coat is that it conceals things that he'd be wearing under. For example, Johnny is always seen wearing a special belt - One that has gun-holsters on both sides, and a space to put a knife. Under it, he'll wear just about anything, but sometimes he's seen wearing either a matching brown outfit, or a brown suit. Johnny is always seen wears a stylish wide-brimmed fedora hat, one that looks less like a fedora and more like a cowboy hat. Johnny is also seen wearing brown leather gloves over his hands. Johnny also wears bulky and worn-out combat boots - Which are heavily damaged and worn out from all the running, and ass kicking Johnny does. Johnny also tends to wear sunglasses of any type, mostly aviator. He is always seen walking around with a pimp-like cane. This cane is a wooden cane that is painted jet black, with a golden ring near the top. At the tip of this cane is basically a stature of Cobra, made out of solid gold. However, there's more to this cane than most see. With one twist and a pull; a concealed and expertly crafted ceramic sword will be revealed. On the side of this side [i]BLOOD SHED[/i] is engraved. [b][u]Personality[/u][/b] [b]Outward & Innate Personality:[/b] Not the most pleasant person on the planet, personality wise. Many call him a horrible human being, and an utter monster. His appearance does do a great deal at showing off who Johnny really is on the inside. He is a cold and ruthless human being who is just as capable of brutality as he is to shake someone's hand. He is a human being who's been harden by experience. Because of this, he is used to say, the death of a friend, or someone emotional. In fact, he doesn't really care at all about any of this. He'll remain indifferent as ever. Johnny is an utter sociopath. Many may quickly discover that he has a blatant disregard for other people, and doesn't have a shred of empathy. He's capable of immense brutality and won't think any of it afterwards. Johnny barely has any morals at all, as you may have guessed. He only does things that would benefit him, and if it doesn't; he won't do it. He is just as capable of violence as he is violence - It all depends on his motives, and what he wishes to gain. Which makes life much easier in his eyes. Johnny is quite aggressive, never afraid to escalate things to violence. However, he uses his head, and rarely fights any battles that aren't worth it. When Johnny does fight; many will see the person he really is. He's a killer, and has put many in the grave - Nor is he afraid to add a few more to that list.There are few he will not kill once he sets his sights on them, children, woman and clowns. He's not a sadistic monster that'll kill everyone in his sights, he only really kills those that are hell-bent in standing in his way. Johnny doesn't exactly have the best social skills on the planet. He is his own brand of nice, until provoked/annoyed/irritated, then he's a bit of an asshole. And it's quite easy to get on his bad side. Johnny isn't the type to form true relationships and emotional bonds. He only sees people that he keeps around as tools, or allies - Not friends. And he's not afraid to dump them the moment they start to seem inconvenient. Then other times, he won't even associate with them if they're useless, or not worth keeping around. To say the least, he doesn't respect people, regardless of what they think, and is quite critical of then - Though, most of the time he keeps it to himself. There are few people that he does respect, and they're in the few. When Johnny speaks, he usually contributes his own sarcastic, and arrogant comments. Johnny is quite the egotistical arrogant smart-ass. Who tends to act like he's better than everyone and that everyone he doesn't respect is below him. Which can betray the person he really is, and let people under-estimate him. Beneath it all; he's quite dark, cold, ruthless, and cynical. There is one trait about Johnny that he'll never abandon; is that he displays great situational intelligence, and awareness. He's also fairly observant. The first thing he does whenever he enters a room is give it a good look, and give the people in it an ever better look. Constantly deducing who could and couldn't be a threat to him, and who could actually be helpful. While Johnny is cynical, he is also very good at guessing people's true motives - With 50% accuracy. He almost never takes things at face-value and always assumes there's a motive under the motive [b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b] Not too many anymore. Johnny does still like one thing, and that is anything you'd see in a Casino. Poker, Blackjack, Craps. It's the one game that Johnny likes the play. He's also an expert when it comes to poker. [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] Experience is the best teacher of them all, Johnny has, in other words, lived as a vicious child-soldier. While he doesn't have any formal training, he's self-trained. That out of the way, Johnny's a very good fighter, and perfect with a gun. He knows how to use pistols quite well - But he prefers using good old fashion revolvers (Hence his nickname). For flash, Johnny has perfected the art of gun-twirling, and uses it quite often to impress (and intimidate) people. He has a very good aim, and is quite accurate. Johnny also knows how to use knives for a silent, and painful, take-down of a foe - Or a bloody spectacle. Johnny's not too bad at hand to hand either. Being trained at kick-boxing at an earlier age, and has his own fighting style that usually consists of kicking. His combat skills, mixed with his powers, makes him quite a threat in fights. Other than that, Johnny is quite observant, few details rarely escape his eye. He also has first-hand experience in things that most people aren't. Such as serial-killers, psychopaths, the mafia. Johnny also knows how to speak fluent Portuguese, despite having gone to Brazil once. [b]Prized Possession:[/b] Johnny's cane, aptly named Bloodshed. [b]Quotes:[/b] [i]"Ah, let me tell you something, I'm definiately not like your average twenty-something. I'm something that, people like you, are afraid of. The person that always make you keep an eye on them... Even if you don't think that yet - Oh boy, you will soon...."[/i] [u][b]Relationships[/b][/u] [b]Family:[/b] The Valos family. [list] [*]Mother - Anne Bertoose [*]Father- Jason Valos [*]Step-Mother - Gabrielle Valos [*]Maternal Half Sister - Sylvia Bertoose [*]Brother - Jake Valos [*]Brother - Joshua [*]Brother - Jaska Valos [*]Sister - Gabriela Valos [*]Sister - Veronica Valos [*]Sister - Ivete Valos [/list] [b]Friends:[/b] Johnny has few allies out there that he really trusts. [b]Enemies:[/b] Plenty of people. Everywhere he goes, enemies will follow, and he'll find some inane way to make some new ones. [b]Lovers:[/b] Johnny has gotten a few hookups in the past, none of them became anything more meaningful than a quick hump and dump. [b]Marital Status:[/b] Single [b][u]Abilities[/u][/b] [b]Power Class:[/b] Cerebral (Main), Energy, and Super-System [b]Power:[/b] [i]Negative Empath.[/i] Johnny is fueled by a special psychic-energy given off by people's emotions known as Emotional-Energy. Namely people's negative emotions. People's anger, fear, doubt, sadness... Any of that. He gets powered by said emotions and uses it to super-power himself. The more negativity going on around him, the stronger Johnny gets - And he can get [i]quite[/i] powerful. Johnny can also absorb Residual Emotional-Energy, which is Emotional energy of past negativity that rests in people, by touch. He mainly uses the Negative Emotions of other people - But he can utilize his own Negative-Emotions. Johnny uses Emotional-energy for his power, which goes down two different paths: [i]Armament.[/i] The Armament path allows Johnny to weaponize Emotional Energy. For starters, it allows Johnny to transform himself, using the energy to infuse his body. His skin will be coated in a dim-white light, with vertical lines of varying colors pulsing across his body. Any objects, and clothes, that Johnny has on him will be incorporated into the transformation. Transformed, his body will be enhanced in many ways. He'll be very, very fast. Being able to move at blinding speeds, and attack foes with such speed that his attacks are near-impossible to dodge. Mobility is Johnny's strong-suit in this case, he'll be able to cover several stories in one leap. Johnny's reflexes/reaction-timing, muscle control, and agility will be brought up a few notches too. Next, in this state, Johnny's durability will be greatly enhanced. His body will be shock resistant, heat-resistant, and non-conductive. Allowing him to take even the strongest of all hits and barely flinch. In this state, Johnny doesn't feel any pain. Although, he's not immune/resistant to stuff like acids, poisons and etc. The degree of enhancements he receives is roughly proportionate to how much Negative Emotions is going on around him. He could go from powerful, to barely better than the average human. Johnny can also extend his durability and speed to objects and people he's touching. Which is how his clothes are incorporated into his transformation. By touching an object/person, they'll start to glow like Johnny does, and get a speed and durability increase as long as Johnny is touching them. It also allows him to make better throwing weapons. He usually enhances his cane-sword combo to help him in fights. Johnny can also fire off a small marble-like orb of Emotional-Energy surrounded by a blood-red plasma, known as the Devil's Kill. This orb can be fired off from his fingers - But Johnny likes to make a finger-gun when he does so. This orb does blunt damage, and burning damage to Johnny's enemies. The Devil Kiss travel quite fast, not on par with bullets, but still rather fast. [i]Essence.[/i] Control and Access to the very essence of Emotional-Energy. The Essence branch covers the mental/emotional aspect of Johnny's ability. The most obvious part of Johnny's ability is that he's connected to people's emotions and can sense them - Knowing all their feelings, motives and emotions to a sub-conscious level. Being able to easily read people like a card. He's more connected to the negative side of emotions however. He can sense people's emotions at a distance, at will. Pinpointing their exact location, and also tells him what their emotion is. This allows him to easily track people. Johnny also has a form of telepathy. Which is a more basic and rudimentary form of telepathy that doesn't allow him to "read" minds. With a bit of focus, he can learn exactly what's making people feel a specific emotion. A brief image, or a tiny little flashback that provides Johnny with a glimpse, or a very good hint. This allows insight into people and how to get to know them better - When people's feelings are much more complex, however, he may have a problem. The Essence branch of Johnny's power makes it near-impossible to lie to him. There are quite a few ways that Johnny can enhance his ability. First of which, he can control his Devil Kisses to an extent. Such as causing them to curb mid-flight and ricochet off solid objects to head towards his targets. Next Johnny can learn how to flash step, turn intangible for a few moments, and fire blasts of Emotional Energy. As well as deepen his connection to emotions in terms of essence. Such as learning how to leave behind an "emotional-imprint" on an object. Then he can learn how to read someone's entire Emotional-history to the day they were born. With images accompanying the information. [b]Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks:[/b] The very opposite to Negative Emotions is poison to Johnny. People feeling positive emotions, will weaken his abilities proportionate to how much positivity they're feeling. Positive emotions tend to overwhelm him in general as well. Johnny can be knocked unconscious if a large group of people are all feeling a positive emotion. Which can be a serious problem if someone knows how to exploit it. He also needs a constant source of fuel for his abilities or it'll make him weak. Johnny's ability require control of his own emotions to be used properly. Having an emotional imbalance can cause his power level to fluctuate and weaken. Johnny feeling a positive emotion himself will also weaken his power greatly. Johnny is weak against mental attacks. Telepaths can easily access his mind and attack him mentally with ease. His ability is so weak against telepathy that even someone reading his mind will cause him a head-ache and disrupt his power. [b][u]Other:[/u][/b] Johnny is a super-human thug for hire operating in New Orleans. Basically working for anyone who pays him the most. Recently, he's pissed off all the wrong people, and decided to use that invitation to the academy he's received earlier to hide out there until things cool off.[/hider] [b][u]Othergrounds Version[/u][/b] [hider=Johnny Valos][u][b]Basic Information[/b][/u] [b]Name:[/b] [i]Johnathon Kin of the Valos Lineage[/i] [b]Nicknames:[/b] [i]Johnny[/i], [i]The King of the Devils[/i] [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Age:[/b] 19 [b]Height:[/b] 5'10 [b]Weight:[/b] 175 [b][u]Appearance[/u][/b] [b]Hair Color:[/b] Black [b]Eye Color:[/b] Blue [b]Nationality:[/b] Brazilian/Italian [b]Physical Appearance:[/b] Johnny is a relatively good looking young man. He has an average height standing at around 5'10 feet tall exactly, and weighs 175 pounds. He has a very thin build--- little muscles or body fat on him. Johnny has a wide chest--- not in the muscular sense, his chest is simply wide. He's a boy of Brazilian and Italian descents as his skin is a light caramel, and he's really proud of his Brazilian heritage. His skin has plenty of scars from his travels in his life (plenty of them have their fair share of stories, most are related to girls). There is three claw-point scars under his right eye. It's a fairly ugly scar and it starts directly under his eye, and goes down to the base of his neck. These scars are also very wide. He doesn't like to talk about how he got it. However, the only way he can hide it is to cover his face, so he bears it. One scar is easily the most notable, it is a thin, jagged scar going straight down the middle of his chest to his stomach. Seemingly made by a blade of sorts. This scar signifies a low-point in his life, which is exactly why he doesn't like to be seen without his shirt on. Due to the notability of his tattoos, this scar isn't too noticed if he does find himself shirtless. He has some small eyes, which heavily appear to be much like his mother, they are blue.  His face is very well-defined, and notable. He was a rather large chin, which just so happens to be a double chin. His ears are small, and more or less concealed under his hat. He also has a small nose, which is also concealed slightly by his hat. Johnny's hair is dark black and is neatly slicked back. It's apparent that he keeps his hair well groomed. Johnny has several tribal-style tattoos on his body, usually hidden under his clothing. On his left hand in particular, he has [i]V A L O S[/i] each tattooed on the back of his fingers. On the base of his neck he has a large tattoo of a rose flower, which is visible depending on what he's wearing. Finally, Johnny has one large tattoo on the left side of his chest. Which is black , it contains numerous images of flowers with tribal fire integrated into its design. On the back of his right hand is a blank rectangle, inside the rectangle has [i]Johnny, K. Valos[/i] tattooed in old English font. [b]Attire:[/b] Most when they look at Johnathon's rather odd wardrobe and style; they will be instantly reminded of a 70's Era Pimp and feels as if he's unnatural. In his eyes; he dresses elegantly with a perfect mixture of fancy-clothes and good looks. He usually wears outfits that are brown colored, to the point where almost everything he wears is just different shades of brown. Easily the next thing that most will notice about his outfit is the wide-brimmed pimp hat on his head. Or sometimes he wears a Fedora. He likes to slant his head slightly downwards so that the hat covers his eyes and most of his face. Giving him a mysterious stranger look. Sometimes he likes to wear a brown long coat over his outfit. He also wears a glove on the one hand without the tattoos (occasionally he'll wear gloves on both). When he doesn't wear gloves he likes to wear several rings with fake glass jewels which appear real and other gold based accessories. Johnny's outfit changes from day to day, but, he does keep a reoccurring theme. [b][u]Personality[/u][/b] [b]Outward Personality:[/b] Outwardly, Johnny can be regarded as an asshole by some. While he initially will try to be his own version of [i]"nice"[/i], if people tend to do stupid things that annoy him that easily tends to bring out the bad in him really easily. He won't hesitate to berate them or insult them for even the slightest of offenses. However, he tends to be polite with mostly everyone when he's calm. When he isn't, he tends to swear, a lot, and insult people ruthlessly. One major part of his personality is none other than his ego. He's extremely egotistical and arrogant due to his upbringing. However, he doesn't feel that he's better than people because he's born from a rich family. He just thinks that he's naturally better than people. Unless proven otherwise. It's rather hard to get him off his ego train. It may take several major blows to his ego for him to even come close to acting less arrogant. This is when he's at his prime. When he's depressed, he tends to be much more mellow and much more serious. Johnny does treat people close to him with a higher degree of respect that he usually would an average nobody. When the time is appropriate he'll be joking, having a laugh, which the appropriate time is when he's not in danger. Which is another thing he'll always retain, he's very selfish (I.E: Don't expect him to take a bullet for someone he just met) and doesn't show too much empathy towards anyone but those that are close to him. The added benefit of a lack of empathy and selflessness means higher awareness/self-preservation skills. Which means he can smell trouble or a bad crowd when most will fail to catch up. In addition to this he has a nasty habit of not trusting certain kinds of people. Like he'll think the overwhelming nice dude has something under his belt that he doesn't want someone to see, or rough guy has quite a story under his belt. In terms of morality, Johnny is more of a mercenary in a way. He does exactly what he wants, outside of any and all rules. Damn what anyone thinks of him. Johnny is more or less willing to do anything that'd advance him, even betray his own allies. Given the current situation he's in, friends won't help him in the long run. [b]Hobbies/Skills:[/b] Quite a few. Johnny is a master at anything related to poker and will beat you at Goldfish. Due to his rather shadier interactions with people he has a bit of knowledge of the criminal underworld. As stated in his personality section he's very good at judging characters and situations. Johnny also knows how to speak fluent Portuguese, despite having gone to Brazil once. He's also an expert brawler, having fought many vicious battles in his time. [b]Favorite color:[/b] [b][u]Abilities[/u][/b] [b]Power Class:[/b] Cerebral/Energy/Super-System [b]Power:[/b] [i]Negative Empath.[/i] Johnny has an immensely powerful ability relating to Negative emotions (Anger, Fear, Sadness, Hate, Disgust, and Lust). You see, every living thing in the world has emotions. They give off a very special energy that only Johnny (and select individuals) can utilize. In Johnny's case, he's restricted to negative emotions. Naturally he absorbs some of this negative emotional energy just by being around people. The best way to get it is for him to touch people and absorb it out of them manually. The victim gets no negative effects from this. Once he absorbs an energy it will be stored in him for later use. However, high amounts of Negative-Emotion going on around him will temporarily strengthen him until he's out of vicinity. This power goes down three paths. The first, and without a doubt his main ability is that he can project a marble-sized bullet out of pure emotional energy. Which he calls the [i]'Devil Kiss'[/i], he likes to make a finger gun and shoot the shot out of his middle and index finger when he does this--- for special effects of course. This bullet has an aura similar to fire that burns anything that it graces. This bullet doesn't have the force to put a hole in someone normally, but it can give them a nasty bruise and some minor burns. At the moment, he can't put too much more force behind it nor change the size. That may change as he develops his powers. Next up is his far stronger ability independent of the Devil Kiss. He can transform himself into a partial being of pure Emotional Energy.  In this form Johnny anatomically identical to their normal form, aside of being made of emotional energy. His outfit is incorporated into the transformation. This is a rainbow of bright lights, and lines of bright lights, constantly changing and shifting patterns. When Johnny's in this form he'll  fortify his cells, bones and muscles giving him much more resistance to damage. Another perk of this ability is that he'll be able to reduce any pain in his body. Even the strongest of hits will not cause him to flinch. Of course once he turns back into a human he'll feel this pain, all at once. Johnny's speed, and agility will be increased far beyond human levels. He'll be able to jump higher and run faster than the eye can comprehend. Eventually he'll be able to reach his ultimate form and have abilities far above his current state. This last set of abilities is mostly for character interaction and etc. While Johnny can't alter emotions, he can subtly influence people's emotions at will. Such as escalating emotions or reducing them. This is useful for when the moment calls for it. All someone has to do is be close enough to him for him to work his magic. This however, isn't instant. It'll take hours on end to make a sad person commit suicide or the pissed off person tranquil. He can tell people's emotions just by looking at them, and has an higher understanding of the emotions of everyone. All they have to do is move out of his line of vision and he can't see their emotions anymore). The last ability is that on touch he can know every single emotion someone has felt down to the day of birth. This, however, does depend on how long he touches a person, and he'd need a few minutes to get that far into their emotional history. Finally, with a bit of focus he can sense emotions from a distance. This ability acts more of a people sense, as he cannot tell the exact emotion, just that there's an emotion capable being. Abilities that Johnny can learn are; Ability to temporarily fully turn into Emotional Energy, and unleashing an unstoppable blast of Emotional Energy. [i]Flash Step.[/i] While transformed; Johnny can cover at least twenty feet in the blink of an eye using an immense burst of speed. He'll appear as a glowing blur, and he'll leave behind a thick rainbow of colors. He can Flash-Step all eight directions, even moving in mid-air. Johnny can do this regardless of current direction/speed, and flash step in another direction with one thought. He can also weaponize this technique, by flash stepping straight into an opponent, causing them damage. Due to his resistance to damage; he'll hurt them more than himself. Johnny can only flash step once every few seconds, and every time it does; it uses up a large amount of Emotional Energy, and wears him down quite a bit. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] Johnny needs a constant source of negative emotions in order to keep using his powers at full strength. Without them his powers will be weaker since he'll only be using his own negative emotions. He needs to be in a neutral emotional state to use his powers efficiently. Positive emotions will only weaken both his Emotional Energy Form and his Devil Kiss. Johnny can only fire six shots of the Devil Kiss in a few minutes. If he tries to fire anymore then he'll burn his fingers and potentially injure himself if he continues firing. He needs much emotional energy to use his Energy Form. If he runs out then he'll return back to his normal form. Another weakness is that if he receives too much pain from attacks while in his energy form, he may pass out. Easily Johnny's biggest weakness is his perverse version of the Black Fall effect. To put it lightly; Johnny is a CENSORED magnet for craziness and angry people. He can indeed not only subconsciously attract meta-humans to him, but humans too. Just that the craziest of them will be more prone to coming to him, and he'll get in the worst of all situations. The reason why this exists is the negative emotions that he absorbs have made the Black Fall effect purely negative. Which means he'll always find himself in bad situations with bad people, or attract a monster. The only way to negate this is that he stops absorbing them entirely and become powerless. [b]Burst Potential:[/b] Gamma, Alpha, Omega, Zeta, and Delta [b][u]Other:[/u][/b] As stated above, Johnny comes from an incredibly rich family (the Valos Family) that may have more connections to the Othergrounds than some may know.[/hider]
