[color=Green][b]History:[/b][/color] As a young man, Judah Raines, had a passion for defending his younger siblings from bullies. This passion carried on with him for the rest of his life. It drove him to join the Police at age of nineteen. After the designated two years on the force with an impeccable record, Judah applied for SWAT in the Denver CO area. Being one of the top students he was initiated into their ranks. He proved himself an able member and became proficient in a range of firearms as well as breaching techniques. After three years of excellent service, he was transferred to the counter terrorism unit in Denver. It was then he applied to the FBI to become a counter terrorism specialist. It was his dream after all.

In one of his first assignments a man had allegedly rigged a building to explode and had multiple hostages within it. Judah volunteered to take point in the mission, the most dangerous position. His teammates threw a flashbang through the window and he kicked the door in. There was no one immediately there. After clearing the room they went on to the next one down the hall. Knocking that door open revealed a man holding a woman as hostage with a detonator in his hand. "Don't move or this whole place goes sky high!" Judah responded as calmly as he could lowering his weapon,"What do you want?" He yelled,"I want to make an impact!" "That's a very millennial thing to want to do," Judah replied,"Why don't we talk by putting our weapons down first?" Judah laid his weapon down. The man looked confused for a second. He's never seen anyone respond to his crazy demands like that.They talked for about twenty minutes, Judah listening intently as if the man, who he knew now as Sam, had been a dear friend. Sam slowly loosened his grip on the weapon and the woman who had been trembling earlier. Now though, she seemed almost interested in the conversation. Near the end Sam asked Judah to visit him in prison. Judah agreed. Afterward he gave the detonator and the woman up. He was quickly cuffed and led away. The cops were very impressed. It turned out to only be a false alarm, that the man was crying out for attention. Judah was still true to his word though.

The FBI saw Judah as a great asset and quickly interviewed him. He was brought into their ranks at the age of 25 and sent overseas to work with their Israeli allies. It was there he learned Krav Maga. It was also there after 6 months that he witnessed his first suicide bombing in an airport. He lost some good friends on that mission. Without his team he felt lonely and isolated from the rest of the country. Though they were allies they were not family and Judah missed his. It was during the next year and a half that Judah fell into depression. He longed for human contact and intimacy, but could not reach out for help.

He continued his unforgiving work schedule in order to distract himself from the pain. He took to alcohol as well. One night at his lowest point he seriously contemplated suicide. That's when they got a call of man who was suicidal. He went to the scene and his words were not good enough to break through the man's self-harming thoughts. Before the man pulled the trigger on his gun, Judah willed in his mind, thinking"Life is worth living!!" At the guy. The sheer pain and hopelessness in that situation awoke in Judah the ability to impart thoughts in others as well as feel others moods and emotions. The man stopped suddenly and dropped his arm holding the gun. He then raised it slowly and fired at the team. Mantis then shot him through the chest with his Mp5k submachine gun. He had no idea what happened at the time, though he would never be the same.

A few weeks later he transferred back to co Denver. There he rejoined with the FBI there. He taught a Krav Maga class to the men he served with. Something was different now though. He didn't just stop drinking and feeling depressed, he felt empowered and emboldened in his roll as a leader among men. With his newfound abilities, the possibilities were vast. Some thought later, Judah wished to stop crime not only on missions as FBI, But in the mind where crimes are conceived. Sure, it may be unethical to manipulate others into doing the right thing; but someone has to show them the way. Judah took his uniform and a baclava he had custom made. He tweaked his look to resemble his flowing style. He would now call himself, Mantis, giver of wisdom.

[center][h3][b][color=Green]Personality[/color][/b][/h3][/center]
[color=Green][b]Motivations:[/b][/color] He wishes to end blatant crime by first, diplomacy. If that doesn't work, mind powers. Finally, physical confrontation. One of his primary motivations is to transform former criminals into law-abiding citizens. This is likely just wishful thinking, but with his powers it may be possible. Creating a task force for order and discipline, in the chaos that is Denver, is another ambition of his.
[color=Green][b]Sexuality:[/b][/color] Straight
[color=Green][b]Likes:[/b][/color][list][*]Order/Peace, discipline, camaraderie, good conversation
[*]Martial arts, firearms, sports cars, motorcycles, adrenaline
[*]Chinese food, private property, alcohol, dogs[/list]
[color=Green][b]Dislikes:[/b][/color][list][*]Chaos, laziness, psychopaths, corruption
[*]fast food, boredom, rats
[*]weakness[/list]
[color=Green][b]Derangement:[/b][/color] Due to his newfound ability, Judah has a hard time trusting people deeply. On the surface he does well but on the inside he rarely shows himself. In fact, many times he finds himself influencing others subconsciously to agree with him. The need to be in control is a direct manifestation of the power of thought implantation. Being in need of control has affected Judah into resisting hierarchies and authority over himself. He finds it very difficult to follow orders from others.

[hider=Outdated Power][color=Green][b]Classification:[/b][/color]Master, Thinker
[color=Green][b]Details:[/b][/color] Judah is able to implant thoughts and/or feelings into other living beings. He is able to discern what someone is feeling as well. His thought and feeling implants are not limited to general ideas and feelings. The more Mantis concentrates on a target the more specific the thoughts and feelings can be up to literal words and phrases.
    He can also influence a wide range of people, however, the thoughts and feelings are general in specificity at that scope. He is also not limited to humans only. He can influence animals and creatures using emotional manipulation. Thought manipulation is much more difficult for that. Perceiving animal feelings is simple enough.
    His feeling sensors are subconsciously active. He can choose to set them aside if they are too distracting as well. He can detect fear, anger, sadness, joy, and other basic emotions within his one block vicinity. If he concentrates he can almost see the emotions and their location. Though it leaks like a gas and cannot be pinpointed more accurately than a fifteen foot radius at longer distances. At closer ranges he can specifically see the emotions emanating from exact people.

[color=Green][b]Limitations:[/b][/color]Manton Effect. His mind abilities are limited to one block in all directions. The further away, the less influence and reads. If someone is extremely practiced in mind durability and defense, it is extremely hard for Mantis to influence as strongly. Unless Judah keeps his own strong feelings in check, they will leak out and be felt by everyone/thing in the immediate vicinity.[/hider]
[center][h3][b][i][color=green]Second Trigger[/color][/i][/b][/h3][/center]

[color=Green][b]Classification:[/b][/color] Master, Thinker, Trump.
[color=Green][b]Details:[/b][/color] Judah's abilities underwent a transformation which greatly increased the power of emotional and thought manipulation in living things around him. Feelings of terror, fury, helplessness and the like are magnified overwhelmingly. Easily dropping opponent's to their knees in terror or sending the most calculated individual into blind rage within the immediate vicinity.

Judah's power also inflicts a Trump aspect on those who are hit with his overwhelming suggestions. Targets lose fine control over their powers. In contrast they become more destructive. Sacrificing control for more power without consent.

[color=Green][b]Limitations:[/b][/color] Manton Effect. His sensory input is much less precise. Only able to pick up on flashes of emotion in others or areas. Murkier and messier than before. His fine control about knowing what is being felt precisely  is gone. His thought implantation is limited to vague, intense phrases which are extremely difficult to resist. His area of control is reduced from one block to 50ft in all directions. 

[color=Green][b]Equipment:[/b][/color] Mp5 submachine gun with extended mags, military grade combat knife, gas mask, filters, FBI body armor and uniform, helmet, 1911 side arm with mags. He wears the FBI issued uniform with FBI covered up in addition to a blue baclava with a white Mantis head and crossed arms like a jolly Roger. Black combat boots, flashbang grenades, tear gas canisters, smoke grenades, and his own self.[/hider]
