He produces solar energy within himself, which he can then manifest into miniature stars. These stars have multiple applications; namely, they can be used to illuminate dark areas akin to an omni-directional flashlight, and be used as powerful explosives with a radius of five feet. In these detonations, it also showers living creatures inside the radius with cosmic radiation, causing painful burns that thankfully have no long term effects. The stars continually radiate warmth as long as they're active, and could fire off coronal ejections of hot plasma, burning anything they come into contact with. Zeke himself has become immune to solar radiation; as such, he won't have sunburns ever again. At any given time, he can only have two stars active. [b]Background:[/b] A true and tested native of San Francisco as long as he could remember, Zeke comes from its outer suburbs. He was born to a rather well off family, and had a pair of sisters that he would always refer to as the Spice Girls. As a general rule, he never got too deep into the city itself; Zeke had learned from his own father, who had seen that place for himself, that crime is rampant, and the casinos and nightclubs were just a facade that hid a festering core of desolation within the hearts of men. And so, Zeke would grow up with the standard life; he went to elementary and high school, found his way into college, and graduated as a major in information technology. He went ahead and worked in one of the telecommunications companies in San Francisco, going in and out morning and night. It was all end, if not for the fact that he could never find a love for his life. Maybe he was too narrow minded to see the hints, but alas, he never tried harder. Then the Energy Storm came. Much of the city became a ruin, and to compound things, Zeke was afflicted by the plague. Though he made a quick recovery, it would turn out that the illness had left a permanent mark on him. One night, as he looked over towards the shining band of the Milky Way, he found himself subconsciously manifesting a star of his own; a little golden sphere of plasmatic heat, levitating on his palm. And on that abandoned field out in the open, he started to play with powers he had yet to understand. Stars danced and winked away at will, and when he flung it towards the ground, it turned into a blinding flash, an explosion that left quite a mark on the ground. But that was just it. These powers are going to leave a mark. And now, the stars may not be so kind to his fate. With such raw power, Zeke realized that the government would be very happy to use him as a power source for that experimental railgun in the navy… but he can't get out. Not now. [/hider]
