[center][color=1bd5ff]"Outside, things were bad... but inside- inside [i]me[/i]- something was beginning. Scary as hell at first. Gotta understand that there was no one to talk to, no experts to consult. But with time, I'm learning to control it. Master it. Just hope it's not too late..."[/color][/center]

Name: [color=1bd5ff][b]Cole Macgrath[/b][/color]

Age: 27 (Born 1984)

Gender: Male

Canon: inFAMOUS (1)

Main Thread or Sandbox: Main Thread

Personality: Though before the blast Cole could be seen as a delinquent, claiming he dropped out of college to "mostly just to piss off" his parents, he was only six credits short of graduation due to a professor treating one of his friends harshly. However, after being "gifted" powers, Cole developed a further awareness for others and their own well-being. If things come to a head and he has to choose between himself or the good of the many, he won't hesitate to choose the latter.

Equipment: Not much gear on him, besides for a [u]sling bag and a phone[/u] attached to the singular strap.


Attributes:
[hider=All Powers!]
[b]Enhanced Durability, Strength and Mobility[/b]: Even before becoming a Conduit, Cole was run over by a freight truck that should have resulted in a fatal accident; instead, he was able to recover in just a few days with only minor injuries. After receiving his electrical powers, however, he's [u]become much more resistant to attacks[/u] that would likely kill a normal human being. In addition, his parkouring skills honed by urban exploration are complemented by his [u]lack of fall damage alongside faster movement[/u], making him able to scale any building extremely quickly and take an "express elevator" down just by jumping off.

[hider=Electric Drain]

[/hider]
[b]Healing Abilities + Electric Drain[/b]: After being exposed to the Ray Sphere, Cole's [u]natural ability to heal has been greatly accelerated[/u]. The Sphere has also made him impervious to most diseases and significantly resistant to others. Besides for that, Cole can [u]manually heal in seconds by draining any nearby electrical power source[/u] (which he can also detect), replenishing his electric supplies so he can use more powerful abilities.

[hider=Lightning Bolt]
[img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/901720232836603915/910065170972303400/1000.png[/img]
[/hider]
[b]Lightning Bolt[/b]: Cole's most basic attack, these [u]strikes of electricity can be fired rapidly and without worry of consuming energy[/u], meaning it is [u]available to him at almost all times[/u]. In addition, [u]hitting an enemy will recharge his energy reserves[/u], and [u]headshots will both stimulate his healing [i]and[/i] chain electricity to other foes[/u].

[hider=Shockwave]
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/901720232836603915/910065878568161291/1000.png
[/hider]
[b]Shockwave[/b]: A self-explanatory attack, Cole pushes out an electrical shockwave to [u]knock people, objects, and even larger projectiles[/u] (such as rockets) [u]out of the way[/u]. People hit by the shockwave [u]will float in the air in slow-motion[/u] until they are hit by the ground, a wall, or an attack.

[b]Shock Grenade[/b]: As the name suggests, Cole hurls a small explosive ball of electricity that can [s]stick to any surface[/s], knocking down lighter foes whilst having the ability to [u]immediately Arc Restrain (see Touch-Related Powers) downed enemies that are caught in the blast[/u]

[hider=Arc Restraint]
[img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/901720232836603915/910065052390924318/latest.png[/img]
[i]It is most likely that Arc Restraint works by aligning the electric "shackles" around victims' arms and legs to the Earth's natural electro-magnetic field, thus holding the person to the ground with a force stronger than gravity. Because of this, enemies and civilians appear to only ever be restrained with respect to the ground (the ground, a rooftop, or in some cases, the top of a car, train, railroad tracks, etc.) and not a wall or other vertical or metal object.[/i] -[url=infamous.fandom.com/wiki/Arc_Restraint]inFAMOUS Wiki[/url]
[/hider]
[b]Touch-Related Powers[/b]: When interacting with incapacitated enemies or allies, Cole has three options: [u]Pulse Heal, Arc Restraint, or Bio Leech[/u]. Pulse Heal will put an electric shock through the downed target, healing them up. Arc Restraint places electrical shackles around the target's hands and feet and planting them on the ground, whilst Bio Leech prompts Cole to grab the victim's face and drain them of their bio-electric energy, healing him and restoring all his energy at the cost of the victim's life.

[b]Induction Grinding[/b]: Cole can [u]use electrified cables[/u] to "grind" across them, giving himself a [u]significant speed boost along it whilst also healing himself and recharging energy[/u].

[hider=Megawatt Hammer]
[img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/901720232836603915/910067291209740348/latest.png[/img]
[/hider]
[b]Megawatt Hammer[/b]: Cole's electrical spin on rockets, Megawatt Hammers [u]slowly travel in a linear fashion[/u] until they hit their mark, [u]creating an anti-gravity effect on anyone caught in the blast[/u] similar to the Shock Grenades. In addition, Cole can [u]redirect his Megawatt Hammers[/u] by firing Lightning Bolts at his target.

[hider=Lightning Storm]
[img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/743918522870005790/909189675242106960/inFAMOUS_Good_Lightning_Storm.gif[/img]
[/hider]
[b]Lightning Storm[/b]: By far Cole's most powerful attack, a Lightning Storm will [u]decimate nearly anything in its way[/u], moving forwards at a rapid pace until Cole runs out of power or chooses to stop the Lightning Storm. When Cole activates this, [u]nearby lights are turned off altogether[/u], only re-activating once the Storm is over- which is indicated by a clap of thunder.

[hider=Gigawatt Blades]
[img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/901720232836603915/910068765193035786/latest.png[/img]
[/hider]
[b]Gigawatt Blades[/b]: Cole forms pure energy around his hand in the form of twin blades. Thrusting these blades into a foe will [u]deal significant amount of damage[/u] that is almost certainly fatal for normal enemies.

[b]Karmic Overload[/b]: Desperate times can call for desperate measures. As long as Cole has been performing enough good deeds, he can eventually use a Karmic Overload, creating a [u]massive electrical surge in his arms that grant unlimited energy[/u] for a certain amount of time. Best used if combined with a Lightning Storm.

[hider=Overload Burst]
[img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/901720232836603915/910071405163474954/latest.png[/img]
[/hider]
[b]Overload Burst[/b]: Cole takes a couple seconds to [u]charge a powerful lightning bolt[/u], before firing it off. It can [u]chain off conductive surfaces to hit anyone nearby[/u], and can be charged whilst using other offensive abilities- meaning he's not vulnerable at all when charging an Overload Burst.

[/hider]
[b]Polarity Wall[/b]: Cole forms an electromagnetic force field around his hands, [u]absorbing most gunfire[/u] (shotguns are a notable exception) and [u]transforming the blocked damage into energy[/u] to counterattack.

[b]Precision[/b]: [u]Time slows down[/u] around Cole as he focuses, [u]zooming in on his target and making his bolts significantly more precise[/u]. In addition, the [u]bolts have an infinite range[/u] while using Precision, meaning "sniping" is a viable option.

[b]Psychic Vision[/b]: Only usable on the dead, Cole absorbs what remains of their neuro-electric energy to [u]see their last memories[/u]- often [u]accompanied by an outline of the dead- or their killer's- path[/u].

[b]Static Thrusters[/b]: While falling, Cole can create static electricity from his palms, [u]significantly slowing down his fall[/u].

[b]Thunder Drop[/b]: Alternatively, if Cole wants to take a flashier way down, he can rapidly build up momentum and electricity while falling, [u]slamming into the ground with a massive shockwave that electrifies anything caught in the blast radius[/u].

[b]Weaknesses[/b]: Being a walking battery isn't always good. Due to his electrical nature, standing in puddles of water can electrocute any others also standing in it, and waist-deep and deeper electricity will short circuit him altogether. Falling into a complete body of water will be almost certainly fatal for him, making [u]water Cole's nemesis[/u]. In addition, his body reacts to energy surrounding him; if [u]electricity in the vicinity is absent, MacGrath will become weakened[/u]- made especially bad since it also makes him unable to charge himself.

Biography: A college dropout-turned superhero, Cole MacGrath's life was turned around the moment he opened a package that turned out to be a device that granted him electrical powers but destroyed several city blocks around him in the process. In the process of cleaning up his home, Empire City, of crime, he also encountered a man initially known only by the name of "Kessler"- who would change his life forever...
