Hey, while we're waiting around for the IC to drop, I came up with this as well. I considered having 'em join Liberty, but this doesn't seem like the kind of thing they'd be into. Anyway:

[b]Full Name:[/b] Nobody knows.

  [b]Nicknames/Aliases:[/b] The Conductor

  [b]Age:[/b] Nobody knows, but they seem to be fairly young and agile. 

  [b]Gender:[/b] Opinions are split.

 [b]Gift:[/b] The Conductor is capable of reproducing any music they have heard, seemingly from nowhere. This music can have various effects that would seem to fly in the face of reality, and can be used to temporarily give them various secondary superpowers during the length of the song, such as [url=https://youtu.be/EsdXPPp8dNk]flame manipulation[/url] or [url=https://youtu.be/cJMeTmdfNWk]flight[/url]. However, this is very taxing and often leaves The Conductor out of commission for at least a day. The more common and less risky use of The Conductor's power is what they call The Rhythm: Any who hear The Conductor's music and are not consciously shielded from its effects by The Conductor themselves are compelled to dance.

[b]Loyalty:[/b] Mercenary

  [b]Description:[/b] The Conductor is a slender, agile young person, never seen without their concealing clothing and signature mask. Apart from that, nobody really knows.

   [b]Personality:[/b] The Conductor rarely speaks, preferring to communicate through simple gestures and, when the situation calls for it, interpretive dance. They are reserved and quiet, but carry themselves with a certain grace and class. Perhaps predictably, they move as if they're dancing to music that only they can hear.

  [b]Skills:[/b]
- The Conductor is a crack shot with close-to-mid-range firearms, not that they necessarily need to be. You don't necessarily need to be shotgun master to kill somebody who's too busy dancing to get to cover.
- Unsurprisingly, The Conductor is a talented musician, capable of playing a variety of instruments. This appears to be unrelated to their powers, but not everyone knows that.
- Also unsurprisingly, The Conductor is very fast and agile, capable of not only dancing like a maniac on the floor, but also performing various parkour shenanigans to escape pursuers.

   [b]Weaknesses:[/b]
- The particularly strong-willed have been known to resist The Conductor's compulsions in the past.
- It's theorized that The Conductor wears a bulletproof vest beneath their coat, but beneath it they seem to be pretty fragile.
- The Conductor's abilities effectively affect the fabric of reality around them. This has made them reliant on these powers and perhaps a bit overconfident.

  [b]Brief History:[/b] No one's quite sure where The Conductor came from, and The Conductor certainly isn't talking. But at some point, they must have taken the midnight train going anywhere and ended up in the ruins of New York. While there, the Conductor was set upon by The Firebrands, a vicious, violent gang who had laid claim to those broken streets. They attacked The Conductor in an attempt to steal the valuable violin they carried, thinking they might be able to sell it to some wealthy collector. The Conductor mesmerized them, took their weapons, and shot and killed every last one.

Since then, The Conductor has been wandering, taking on various contracts to kill or capture evasive or powerful people, and they've proved highly effective at it. After all, no matter how much flame you can channel or how many lasers you can shoot from your eyes, we are all slaves to The Rhythm.
 
[b]Other:[/b] The Conductor's violin is of great personal significance to them. They will and have killed to protect it.

EDIT: the IC dropped [s]immediately after I posted this[/s] actually [b]while [/b]I was posting this and I feel bad
