[INDENT][INDENT]Ewan is generally consider to be an attractive man by many of his adoring fans. Standing 5'-10" tall, he has dark brown hair often highlighted with blue or green streaks. His face is lit up by bluish-green eyes which stand out with his chisled jaw and million dollar smile. He weighs 182lbs, with a well toned body from years of keeping it in shape in order to be able to perform on stage for extended periods of times. Ewan's variety of clothes varies from day to day but he generally perfers jeans and a hooded sleeveless garment. He generally has a thick leather bracelet on either wrist and numerous rings on his hands. Around his neck is a silver chain from which hangs Drew's engagement ring.​[/INDENT][/INDENT]

[INDENT][INDENT][B][I]Sonic Manipulation:[/I][/B]
[INDENT]■   Ewan is a Hyperhuman that possess the ability to manipulate shape or create soundwaves. He has control over both soundwaves he creates or soundwaves from another source. Soundwaves are a periodic disturbance of the medium (air, ground, water, etc) that radiates outward in straight lines in the form of a pressure wave. The effect these waves produce upon the ear is perceived as sound. From the point of view of physics, sound is considered to be the waves of vibratory motion themselves, whether or not they are heard by the human ear.

Ewan can mimic, intensify, hush, and distort, as well warp, strengthen, echo, speed up, and slow down sound, using it as a powerful physical force and for high-speed movement. At low frequencies, sound is potentially fatal to living beings by causing internal damage, while high frequencies cannot be heard by normal humans but can be used for sonar-like effects. Since sound vibrations can travel through the air, ground, water and any form of medium, defense by using physical barriers is difficult.

In order for his body to be able to handle his abilities, Ewan has superhumanly powerful lungs, throat, and vocal cords that can produce a sonic scream. He also has selective hearing, enabling him to focus upon, enhance, or totally block out any given sound in his environment; this shields him from the deafening sound of his own sonic attakcs, and makes him a superhumanly acute eavesdropper in surveillance situations.​[/INDENT]
[B][I]Limitations/Weaknesses:[/I][/B]
[INDENT]■   Ewan is limited by anything that can nullify sound. Materials which absorb sound can also limit if not downright block the desired effects. Furthermore Ewan is limited by his own physical condition as while he does have immunity to his abilities he can overstrain his system and temporarily cut off his own powers. He can also damage his throat or vocal chords from overabusing them.

Aside from physical limitations, Ewan doesn't have many skills in the way of combat and thus relies on his abilities and gadgets. If disarmed and exhausted he essentially has no method of defense left.​

■   While Ewan does have enhanced healing through sonokinetic healing, he's still essentially vulnerable to guns and knives. He has no enhanced strength or durability and is currently untrained in using his ability to boost his speed.​
[/INDENT]
[B][I]Applications:[/I][/B]
[INDENT]■   [B]Omni-Tone |[/B] Ewan always speaks in perfect pitch, this is another attribute that lent itself to Ewan's success in the music industry. This ability allows Ewan a very broad range of vocal manipulation leading to his ability to mimic other people and create sonic waves with frequencies above and below the human range.

■   [B]Enhanced Hearing |[/B] Ewan has hearing above and beyond the human range both in terms of physical distance and frequencies. Currently his hearing isn't refined but once he has trained his ears he'll be able to do even more simply by listening.

■   [B]Sound Immunity |[/B] Ewan is immune to not only his own sonic manipulation but also to an external sonic manipulation. His body is especially adapted to completely resist sonic attacks into to allow him to fully maximize his own abilities.

■   [B]Static |[/B] Ewan's mind is protected by a layer or static soundwaves which blocks out mental attacks and keeps all but the most powerful telepaths out of his head. As such most Minerva types are blocked by Ewan's static although this static can be disturbed by another Sound Manipulator leaving Ewan open to a mental assault.

■   [B]Create Soundwaves |[/B] Ewan can create soundwaves using his vocal chords or by slapping his body against a hard surface. Clapping will create soundwaves just not with the same starting volume as his vocal chords could produce. Ewan can manipulate the loudness, pitch, tone and overall shape of the soundwave.

■   [B]Manipulate Soundwaves |[/B] Ewan can manipulate any soundwave generated from another source whether this is an instrument or a car crash. Ewan has made a living manipulating soundwaves as this is how he achieved his band's signature sounds and continues to do so especially when DJing at Nevermind. Ewan can do everything to an externally generated soundwave as he can do to one of his own.

■   [B]Sonic Amplification/Absorption |[/B] Ewan can increase or decrease the volume of any soundwave. Furthermore he can make sounds completely inaudible including himself. Ewan can throw out soundwaves that can counteract unanticipated sounds by muting or nullifying the sounds.

■   [B]Sonic Attacks |[/B] Ewan can manipulate soundwaves into a direct attack shaping them into a concussive blast or keeping them wide to affect a radius around him. Using his enhanced vocal chords, Ewan can produce a sonic scream or overwhelm opponents with deafening or disorienting noise. Low frequency sonic blast can stun opponents temporarily.

■   [B]Voice Manipulation |[/B] Due to Ewan's abilities he's able to mimic any voice he has heard. That said, the more he's heard a person speak the more he's able to mimic their voice and verbal tics. A conversation at length with a person will lead to an almost infallible impression but a fleeting sentence here and there will lead to simply a good impression. Ewan is able to project his voice over much further than even the best town criers and manipulate his voice to sound like more than one person is speaking.

■   [B]Sonokinetic Healing |[/B] While this ability has manifested itself involuntarily, Ewan has not yet learned to control it and it will only manifest if he's on the verge of dying. By stimulating the cells in his body with vibrations produced at the correct pitch, Ewan can speed up his metabolism thus increases his body's ability to heal. Once Ewan gains mastery over this, he'll be able to relax to his favourite music while changing the pitch to heal his body. Though it should be noted any source of sound will do so long as it's prolonged or sustained enough for the healing. As soon as the sound is gone the effect is lost. This healing isn't instant but is still notably faster than the regular human body.

■   [B]Speed Boosts |[/B] Ewan will eventually be able to learn to manipulate soundwaves in such a way that he will be able to ride on them and channel them around his body to boost him forward or slow his descent towards the ground.

■   [B]Flight |[/B] Further building upon the boosting his speed through soundwaves, Ewan will be able to use soundwaves at first to glide and eventually surround himself with them and propel himself freely through the air enabling him to fly. At his absolute best, Ewan will be able to propel himself at the speed of sound through the air creating a sonic boom as he reaches Mach speed.

■   [B]Soundwave Conversion |[/B] One of the most advanced sound manipulations Ewan can learn. Soundwave conversion allows Ewan to convert sound into other forms of energy, most prominently 'hard sound' and light. By converting soundwaves to 'hard sound', Ewan is able to create sonokinetic constructs of a simple nature such as a weapon or shield. Alternately he can turn sound to light to create a quick flash or a distraction. Used in combination with the Advanced Voice Manipulation technique of Beacon Emission, Ewan could create a pillar of light into the sky with the proper soundwaves.

■   [B]Vibration Emission |[/B] Manipulating soundwaves in the correct way, Ewan can create vibrations which could topple whole buildings if he had the proper supply of soundwaves. These vibrations can be used to counter other movement and potentially deflect projectiles or shrapnel. If timed correctly these 'Counter Vibrations' could at the least minimize the kinetic energy in an attack and at best completely neutralize it.

■   [B]Advanced Voice Manipulation |[/B] Tapping into his Omni-Tone, Ewan is able to make his voice have a persuasion effect over those he speaks to. He could also even hypnotize an open mind with his voice or lull them into a state of slumber. Further more he can empower his sonic scream with numerous effects such as causing fear, vertigo, or even kill. Ewan can directly his sonic scream into a beacon sending out over an incredibly wide range to rally allies or attract enemies to his location.

■   [B]Advanced Enhanced Hearing |[/B] If Ewan refined his ability to listen he could use his hearing in combination with his voice for the effects of echolocation or sonar. Furthermore he can listen close enough to a person's heartbeat and detect if they're lying. At the absolute best, Ewan will be able to literally see soundwaves in front of him and watch as they're manipulated by his abilities.​[/INDENT]
[B][I]Skills:[/I][/B]
[INDENT]■   Ewan is a skilled musician and performer capable of playing numerous instruments and thanks to his abilities faking those he can't actually play. In addition to this he's a skilled music producer and mixer. Ewan was taught how to handle an automobile by his father and as such can hold his own in a street race as well as how to handle a motorcycle.

Ewan has never been in a fight in his life however and only understands the theory of fighting with his fists. If it wasn't for his abilities he wouldn't likely be able to hold his own.​[/INDENT][/INDENT][/INDENT]
[color=slategray][B]|   B I O G R A P H Y:   |[/B][/color]
[INDENT][INDENT]A former rockstar turned club owner, Ewan Maddox was born and raised in the Kilbride area of Crescent City. Born as Eugene Richard Maddox, Ewan was raised primarily by his retired grandfather due to his parents being too involved in their own lives to make much time for the boy. While not millionaires, Ewan’s family were always well off living in one of the better neighborhoods within Kilbride’s North City. Ewan’s mother Guinevere worked as defense lawyer, however most of her clients are generally criminals who Guinevere enables to literally and figuratively get away with murder. His father on the hand was once a top semi-professional racer until unsportsmanlike behavior got him permanently banned from the track. After this set back in his career, Richard began street racing in order to have money to contribute towards the family. During these times Ewan was left in the care of his grandfather Caleb Maddox. A retired electronics and robotics engineer, Caleb took great joy in sharing his skills and knowledge with Ewan who bonded to his grandfather as though he was his actual father. Each summer when Caleb travelled to Wales to visit his brother’s family, Ewan would travel along with him much to his own parent’s relief with their ‘babysitter’ out of the country.

Going through elementary school, Ewan found himself a victim of bullying mainly due to his name. This came to a head at the time Ewan was enrolled in high school and after months of begging finally got his parents to agree to enroll him under the name of Ewan, a name he chose for himself both because it sounded more Welsh and in part to pay tribute to the actor of one of his favourite character’s at the time, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Around the time that Ewan turned fourteen his father came home and announced that he was going to make it up to his son all the years they hadn’t been able to spend time together because of his odd jobs. He explained to his wife and child that he had landed the job of a lifetime, one that would make them enough money to move out of North City and into Paradise Hills if they so wanted. When pressured to reveal what this mystery job was, Richard wouldn’t spill but for almost two years he stayed true to his promise. Recruiting Ewan to help tune and modify his car, Richard would also go on to teach Ewan how to drive both motorcycles and cars. In doing so, he made sure that not only would Ewan be able to ace any driver’s examination but that his son would have the fundamental skills to impress should he get roped into street racing himself one day. The mystery job that Richard had been hiding from his family was in reality a heist planned for the New Lilith Historical Mint. The job however was botched and Richard abandoned his position as getaway driver in order to avoid being killed in the crossfire or arrested in the aftermath. What Richard didn’t realize was that he had been hired by the Famiglia De Vitis Crime Syndicate, and one does not simply fail Raul De Vitis. On the eve of Ewan’s sixteenth birthday, Richard didn’t return home after he was abducted and disposed of by some hired thugs. Despite Guinevere pushing the Crescent City Police Force to repeatedly search for her husband, no body was ever discovered meaning that Richard was somewhere underneath Dead Man’s Bog.

The family was devastated by the loss of Richard and even more so as the media was leaked information linking Richard and his numerous odd jobs to various crimes around Crescent City. Guinevere’s reputation was put on the line and Ewan retreated into himself, angry and upset that after all the years of his father ignoring him, he was so quickly taken from when things had begun to improve between them. Worried about his grandson, Caleb tried to get Ewan back out and involved in the world. Despite numerous efforts nothing seemed to work and Ewan’s health was taking a toll because of it. As a last resort, Caleb showed up at the house with a gift for Ewan, a guitar. When Ewan looked at him in confusion, Caleb simply smiled and explained that if the boy was going to be sick with the blues he may as well sing about them. Initially he ignored his grandfather’s advice but curiosity got the better of Ewan as he began to play with the guitar. It didn’t take long before he was using the internet to search up how to properly play the instrument and the chords for his favourite songs. Ewan eventually discovered his Hyperhuman abilities on day in a fit of frustration having been unable to properly play a riff from a song. Slamming down hard on the strings, the teen found himself thrown across the room as the riff blared out of the nearby amplifier. Trying to replicate the effects, Ewan had no luck until once again he grew frustrated. Over the next few months, Ewan learned how to focus on a sound and manipulate it, changing its pitch, tone, intensity and all of its attributes. With this new found ability, Ewan’s prowess on the guitar began to skyrocket. His abilities made it easy to compensate his skill and soon he began to play other instruments. After winning a talent show at the end of his sophomore year of high school, Ewan decided to record various videos over the summer and post them on social media. By the time the start of his junior year rolled around, Ewan had become something of a local celebrity with teacher’s urging him to his focus into music. Taking their advice, Ewan wrote his first song dedicating it to both his grandfather and his deceased father. Taking musical inspiration from the likes of Kurt Cobain, Ewan’s first song had a distinctive haunting sound as he sung about how quickly a life could be extinguished. This of course ignited Ewan’s musical career as the song ended up getting him international attention through YouTube. Picked up by a Banana Phonorecords, a music label in Los Paraíso, the label put together a band for Ewan creating Extinguish/Ignite.

While the band’s first studio album has dismal results, Ewan decided to get involved with local charities to get the band’s name out there. While he himself was known as a solo artist online and locally, the band’s name meant nothing to his followers. Performing at local charity functions, sports games and other events, by the time the band’s second album came out it skyrocketed to the top of the charts. Extinguish/Ignite had a national tour lined up by the time Ewan finished high school and already had three number one singles nationally and one international number one under his belt. The tour ended up lasting for the better part of the next year and went through almost thirty different states. Ewan began to bond with the band members, enjoying backstage meet and greets together and partying with fans in dive bars after concerts. It was through these events that Ewan eventually met Drew Penelope Scott. A struggling amateur model, Drew had become something of a groupie and had planned out her modelling gigs with the band’s tour schedule. Hitting it off with Ewan, he began to look for her after every show and the two became quite close. Waking up in a hotel room with Drew after the pair had snuck away from the after party one night, Ewan discovered that their connection was not only based in music but on another level as well. Drew was also a Hyperhuman as Ewan was ‘coldly’ informed when he surprised her in the shower. Revealing his secret to her as well, the two became an exclusive item and eventually fell in love with Drew returning to Crescent City with Ewan upon the tour’s completion.

Drew ended up finding very little work in Crescent City and set out to expand her resume. Trying her hand at acting in addition to modelling, she eventually relented to working as a waitress until Ewan heard her sing. Finding out that in addition to a naturally beautiful singing voice, Drew had been classically trained in violin, Ewan convinced the band to give her a chance. The sales of third studio element permanently cemented Drew’s place among Extinguish/Ignite as reviewers praised the chemistry and harmonics between her voice and Ewan’s along with the eerie vibe that the violin added to the band’s post-grunge sound. Realizing he was in love with Drew, Ewan eventually worked up the nerve to propose to her. Making her believe he had arranged a private gig at a five star restaurant, Ewan had the rest of the band set up ahead of Drew’s arrival and then begin playing as she arrived. As Ewan kneeled down to extend his proposal, Drew cried out yes as she became overwhelmed with emotions, tears of happiness spilling down her face. The two continued to write music together and plan a wedding date only for Drew to ask if they could postpone it as she announced to Ewan that she was pregnant. At the age of twenty one, Ewan became father to a beautiful baby boy named Zebulun Andrew Maddox. Swearing never to become his father, Ewan refused to take the band on any extended tours and bought out a club in the Paradise Strip to make it into their permanent venue. This met criticism from many of their fans but in the end the majority supported Ewan and Drew’s decision once Ewan assured fans that the band would tour nationally again but only once his family was stable enough to do so. In the meantime, their club ‘Nevermind’ became a hit and was lined out the door almost every night. Enjoying their success and the joy of raising their son together, Drew and Ewan eventually decided to try and plan their wedding again but as fate would have it, Drew became pregnant leading to the wedding being postponed once more. Unlike before however, the night Drew went into labour didn’t end with Ewan holding his newborn child.

[I]Having sent Zebulun off to his great-grandfather’s for the week, Ewan took Drew in his own car to the hospital. On route to the hospital however the pair were forced off the road by a high speed police chase as the criminal came onto the wrong side of the road. Despite all his father had taught, Ewan lost control of the car and went through a guardrail completely totalling the vehicle and in the process losing his fiancé and unborn daughter. Ewan himself barely survived, his Hype gene only saving him through a sonokinetic healing coma. As Ewan healed he began to take more of an interest in local politics wanting to ensure his grandchildren would never have to worry about living in a world where they might lose their mother. Despite the money donated and his attempt to run a legitimate business, Ewan witness Crescent City’s crime rates begin to climb. With the recent spike in crime due to the natural disaster raining down on the city, Ewan has reached his breaking point realizing he can no longer use his abilities simply for his own gain or to put on a show. In order to protect his son, avenge his fiancé and father and make a better future Ewan has embraced the idea of using his abilities to become a vigilante and bring justice to the drowning city.​[/I][/INDENT][/INDENT]

[INDENT][INDENT]■   [b]Club Nevermind |[/b] A large modern nightclub found on the Paradise Strip, Nevermind has a full kitchen and a full recording studio within it plus a rooftop patio and massive dancefloor. Ewan made sure it had all the bells and whistles when Drew and him originally renovated the building. It attracts a younger crowd but some theme nights will get the more middle aged group out. Made up of three floors, the third floor is primarily private rooms while the second floor is almost more akin to a balcony over looking the first floor. The second floor is made up of booths to give people more privacy than the tables on the first floor that surround the dance floor. The DJ and bands have a stage on the first floor from which they perform and every floor is equipped with a bar. Nevermind is available for rental for private events as well and if you have the money you can hire Extinguish/Ignite to perform.​

■   Due in part to the amount of time Ewan has spent with his grandfather, and because of his ability he speaks with a slight Welsh accent.

■   While Ewan employs many different instruments, he has two in particular he prefers. While touring with Extinguish/Ignite, Ewan uses a custom double necked guitar with one six string neck and one five string bass neck. While working at Nevermind, Ewan employs the use of a personalized keytar since he often acts as a more of a DJ unless performing with the whole band.

■   The band has allowed Ewan time to grieve for Drew however they are getting antsy about finding a replacement member since Drew became part of their sound. Ewan has thus far shot down all ideas of finding another female to fill Drew's spot in the band and has recently been playing the violin parts himself in the studio sessions.​[/INDENT][/INDENT][/INDENT]
