[hider= Fault line] [img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/181217/ea0fbdcda32b9cbff2c7ebb3edee5146.png[/img] Name: Albert King Hughes, friends call him Al. Super Hero/Villain Identity: Fault Line Age: 37 Nationality: African American Location: Los Angeles California, United States of America Appearance: Albert stands at a respectable 6’3” weighing in at 247 with an impressive athletic build. His shoulders are broad and he carries them slightly forward, with his chest more inward. He has a very square set and short jaw line which he keeps clean shaven on a daily basis, his eyes are a dark green in color and sit slightly wide set and low on his face. His hair is kept incredibly short, no doubt less than a few centimeters long with a ‘style cut’ starting in line with the top of his right eye and earlobe and going about half way back across his head. He prefers to dress in white t-shirts and blue denim jeans when in casual wear, with simple tennis shoes. However the man knows how to dress, owning several proper Italian cut three piece suits, their color schemes are of course: Suit 1: Black, White, Burgandy. Suit 2: Black White, Light Blue Suit 3. Black, Silver, Dark Blue But those aren’t the suits you want to hear about: The super suit of Fault Line is a black spandex two piece, with bright yellow trim and upon the back is a yellow circle with dark cracks running from its center outwards. He dones a simple, yet effective black mask over eyes. The suit is skin tight for the reasons to do with his ability, as he channels tectonic energy he found that if his clothes were loose they tended to tear away from his body as the energy coursed through him, the spandex have so far been the only clothes that stayed securely on his body. Personality: Albert is a patient man, he strives to be understanding of others plights and puts himself in others shoes before taking action. You could say he believe no one is beyond redemption and shows this by often times giving others second and third chances. That being said he despises those that use others for personal gain, whether they be manipulating them emotionally, physically, mentally or supernaturally. It is an unforgivable action in his eyes, more so than perhaps even taking a murder, because once you've taken someones ability of choice, you've taken more than just their life from them. He understands that while life is unfair that is never an excuse, when trying to help others he understands the importance of both the carrot and the stick, and employs them both equally in his life. Whether it be with his children or with those he is trying to help and even the villains he fights. Some people need to be sat down and given the lay of the law, and sometimes given a good slap up side the head, but equally to him is knowing when to take someone into your arms and allowing them to vent, to speak freely and be given a support to lean against. In short Albert is a patient and caring man, any day where he can say he helped someone get their life on track is a day he is happy, and he isn't capable of leaving someone alone that he feels needs help. He can't just tell himself 'they'll be fine' and leave it at that. Backstory/Origin: Los Angeles is a pretty nice to place to grow up, if your families rolling in the dough they get from every other sucker in the city. And compared to many others, Albert started off with pretty good chances. Going back to his Grandfather, Jerome Bason Hughes, who was a professional boxer and popular nationwide. Jerome was gifted the Gym that he always practiced at by the owner when the man retired, and ran a rather successful business outside of the ring. Jerome had a son, George, who would then later have Albert. George helped run the Gym with his father, and even started community out reach and troubled youth programs out of the building. Given young men and women of the lower income areas somewhere to work through their frustrations constructively, helped them build character and do to their families popularity, get jobs and find the resources they needed to compete in school and the work force. Unfortunately the gangs that prayed on these same youths never take kindly to such programs, and one of them, the Muertos, took it upon themselves to end George’s life. Why is this important? Albert was only 14 when his dad died, and it was less than a month later his psychic abilities awakened and he channeled his first ‘tremor’. Confused, angry and scared he ended up falling in with a gang rival to the Muertos called the Bishops. He felt a connection to them, they seemed to appreciate him, weren’t afraid of his abilities and gave him a direct line to getting back at the men that killed his father. What followed were several years of robberies, assaults and very very expensive vandalism. However on the night when he would finally get to take the life of one of the men that killed his father… a lot happened. He couldn’t say exactly what happened, it was all a whirl wind, but the night ended with his hands clean of blood and the Bishops. Bent over the toilet sick to his stomach and with himself, what followed was a long and silent period of several months during which he really looked at himself, for the first time since his father died three years prior he walked into the family Gym. He made the decision to be a man like his father was, and focused on that, keeping his abilities hidden and working with his Grandfather. But when he was 23 he saw on the news, a young man, an Ultra not unlike himself years before, being arrested. Roped into a Gang after he lost his parents, his abilities used for their own ends, something clicked and he decided. People in the city, in the Ghetto’s, needed a real role model, especially the Ultras. Someone that was going to stand up for them, against the gangs, the crooked politicians, the dirty cops and all the crazies that though they were above the law. He knew how to fight, he knew he had power, and finally he had a real purpose. So Fault Line was born, the hero of Los Angeles that delivers justice equally to all with the great might of the Earth itself. He also continues his father’s work in community out reach from the family gym, which he now owns though his grandfather spends his days relaxing there, it is now a Boxing and MMA gym. Tools/Equipment/Weapons: Currently None Skills: Martial artist, experienced business man, motivational speaker. Abilities/Powers/Mutations: Psychic ability: Tectonic Channeling: With the power of his mind Albert is able to channel the energy created by the shifting of the Earth’s Tectonic plates. He can use the energy in several ways: Physical Enhancement: He can use the energy to empower his muscles, causing him to run faster, jump farther, and punch harder. Kinetic Barrier: He can cloak himself in a layer of energy that acts as a shield and barrier, absorbing physical forces that contact him and protecting his body.

He has a scar that runs down the right side of his face with another intersecting it near the bottom moving diagonally right under his eye and over the top of his nose. He has dark green eyes. His dark hair has begun to gray, the small light dots peppered across his head. He maintains a well trimmed goatee. He prefers to dress in dark turtle necks and military fatigue pants when on assignments and in a surprising twist for most, is a fan of Hawaiian print shirts and button ups on his time off. Accompanied by a pair of sandals and a pair of shorts, varying from tan to dark brown. Personality: A quiet and prideful man, his decades of success and evasion of authorities have caused no small amount of arrogance to take root within his mind. While always careful and measured in his actions his confidence will sometimes cause him to dismiss certain 'negligible' factors, or underestimate his opponents. While calm and good at keeping his cool in his younger years, as he has grown older his anger has grown fiercer and his patience for the actions of others has grown unbelievable thin. He still reacts poorly to anyone that reminds him of his father, it is a good way to end up dead on the spot. He places value on human life, specific, measurable values, this means that you may be lucky enough to survive if you aren't worth killing, or if you have enough value to be kept around. However he holds no belief in any form of sanctity of human life. Backstory/Origin: Gabriel was born in the USA in the city of Miami Florida. It is during the early years of his life that we see the first steps in the direction that would create one of the most infamous killers to ever live on planet Earth. His father worked for a large South American drug cartel, a native born American of Brazilian heritage, his mother was an immigrant from Venezuela. His father was a man prone to violent fits of anger that were often directed at his wife and young son, Gabe's mother would often hid the young boy by trapping him in the basement or out in the garden shed during times of his fathers particularly violent behaviors. At the age of seven he attended his mothers funeral after one such incident. At the age of nine he stabbed his father to death as the man slept. From here it is more difficult to follow the boy's history. He became a ward of the state and at the age of 13 disappeared from his foster home. About 4 years later at the age of 17, under a fake identity he enrolled in the US military and spent 12 years in the armed services, attending Ranger school, marksmanship training and even moving to work within special forces in what could be politely referred to as Wetworks. However at this time he was already operating as a serial killer. In the US he was the New York Sniper, a serial killer that had been taking out young college age men and women, choosing those that came from well to do families and as the Miami Bay Madman, targeting older men with histories of domestic violence, preferring strangulation before surgically removing the bones from their hands and placing them over the victims eyes.. In West Africa he was known as the 'Black Butcher'. A man dressed in dark dress head to toe that would quickly assault, kill and dismember his victims on the streets at night. In all there are at least 5 other serial killer identities that can be positively linked to the man through his life with a combined body count of nearly 120. When he got out of his 12 year service, he had more than enough on his resume between his personal work and the work within the armed services and he began to sell his skill set out to the highest bidder. He quickly grew in infamy, sky rocketing to the third spot of Interpol's most wanted. The FBI's number 1 for several years, currently sitting at Four. There are active warrants and bounties out for his arrest in China, Russia, USA, UK, France, Germany, Romania, Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, India, Japan, Australia and Canada. It was several years ago, with the authorities closing in, and running out of those crazy enough to call themselves friends or allies that he was approached by a group known as "Black Out". With a job offer. Work as an enforcer, field commander and a trainer for them, and he would have access to all the resources he needed to avoid authorities. After accepting he disappeared from the public eye for several years before surfacing, now clad within a high tech power suit to help combat the ravages of his increasing age and further improve his field efficiency. It also helped to combat Ultras. He has taken the moniker Executioner. While his appearance is not widely known, mostly older pictures, his name is one that is spoken off across the world, everyone has at least heard of him. And as with most serial killers and villains, has a variety of fan clubs or at least curious people following their deeds and life as closely as they can. Tools/Equipment/Weapons: Trained and stocked with a variety of modern fire arms, preferring to always keep several high caliber pistols on his person at all times as well as a variety of throwing knives and two combat knives, one at his hip and one at his boot. The rest of his fire arms will be chosen based upon the mission he is going to undertake. The Executioners Cowl: The power suit developed by Black Out specifically for his body. It is built in with auto injecting pain killers, a thermal regulating layer to keep his temperature at a constant and is built to greatly increase his speed and power. The helmet has numerous tools within a virtual heads up dispaly to measure all number of factors including targeting, distance measuring, communication systems, wind speed etc. As well as having different settings for low light vision and infrared and heat vision. Busters: These two long gun blades possess installed high caliber slugs, while not accurate at anything but the shortest distance they pack quite a punch. They are difficult for him to wield while not within the Cowl due to their weight and the kick back from the installed fire arms. Skills: Marksman ship, Roman Boxing, Krav Maga, Judo, WTF Taekwondo, Chinese Kong fu, Long sword and Katana training. Knife grabbling. Survival-ism techniques, speaks 12 languages: English, Portugese, French, Spanish Proper, Spanish Central American Dialects, Egyptian, Chinese Mandarin, Russian, German, Arabic, Afrikaans, Southern Sotho.
