Just kidding, I already forgot your name."[/i][/center] [hr] [hr] [b]Name:[/b] Thelonious Kastrati [b]Alias:[/b] Warpstar [b]Nicknames:[/b] Thelony [b]Age:[/b] 17 [b]Gender:[/b] A boi [b]Personality:[/b] Thelonious is somewhat awkward, with a pretty quiet disposition and a few words. He is noted to be highly enamored by ‘cute, fluffy animals’, and possesses a keen sense of intuition of trustworthiness. Thelonious is pretty protective of those folks he happens to like, though those that he had a bad experience of could expect to be suddenly abandoned in the middle of a fight. Aside from that, Thelonious is incredibly petty. Ruin his day, or his property? He’ll do the same, but he’ll try to make it a bit worse for whoever pissed on his parade. He is pretty much the embodiment of karma in this regard; actions will come back around, so better be nice to the guy, or else you’ll find yourself randomly inconvenienced by small, but infuriating things. Rule of thumb with Thelonious, then, is that he always returns to sender. [b]Appearance:[/b] [hider=My Hider][img]https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRNUwkMv7kUqyJXCzCrIVY0h32Tc67mNd6W0g&usqp=CAU[/img] Thelonious is 5’3” in height, with markedly Caucasian features, though he gravitates to the somewhat tanner side. His pupils are amber in color, accompanied by black framed glasses. His clothing choices usually gravitate around cloaks and other comfortable, flowing garments. Apparently, he sees it as ‘liberating’. The flat cap seems to be a favorite of his whenever he doesn’t have to use the Cape costume.

The cape on his back has a star pattern on it, which seamlessly blends into the starry sky at night. The vital areas are covered by protective kevlar, while a high grade helmet with a wide visor keeps his head safe. Overall, it is quite comfortable to be in, just as he prefers all clothes to be. It is not the most mobile of outfits, but that’s what his powers are for. [/hider] [b]Biography:[/b] Thelonious wasn’t from Redline originally. Nor was he originally a citizen of the United States, either. His earliest memories, at least as far as he is willing to admit, traces back to their apartment in the city of Pristina, Kosovo. He was not born as ‘Thelonious’ either, but he either doesn't remember or isn't willing to tell what the previous name was back then. Either way, Thelonious doesn’t remember all too much of his home country, as his family left it when he was five years old due to the highly volatile situation that it was in. They first arrived in New York City, and then moved up further north into Maine, where they finally settled down, somewhat. There, they all changed their first names, though they kept the surname that they had back in Kosovo. Now, though, they faced a whole new world. Thelonious, as he was called since then, had quite a few difficulties with the English language, and was as such bullied for it in school, though that was simply the first reason. Other causes arose, namely because of his lack of aptitude for sports, and other generic reasons. During that time, however, he was a passive one, and simply took it without telling anyone else, as he knew he couldn't fight back against the likes of them. Not like this. He would just get beaten even more. At the very least, his one and only friend shared in that misery, so Thelonious wasn’t alone in all that. Even so, he secretly harbored plans of bitter revenge. He had coincidentally watched ‘Carrie’, and wondered if that could be done in real life. Parahumans were a thing, after all. He heard that the valedictorian of the high school he was now going to was one of those so-called Thinkers. Maybe he too was a Parahuman that just needed… what was it, a Trigger Event? Sure enough, it was a Trigger Event that he will get from these barbaric people. It was prom night, and Thelony had hoped that this day would be different, that there would be no encounter between them and him. It seemed, however, that they were actively seeking him out with acts of malice and cruelty all planned out. They dragged the comparably weak boy to the shower room, where his hands were tied and cold water rained upon him. There wasn’t much physical pain in those moments. Just the mental shattering of the constant shame and humiliation, the inaction of the authorities simply because these miscreants were the offspring of some high officials. He could see them now. Bright twinkles of light in the darkness. Was this it? Was this the end? Has the suffering ended? Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on who’s asked, this was not to be the end. Twin stars formed around Thelonious within that shower room as he drifted between wakefulness and silence. He no longer remembers what happened next, but he awoke on the steps of his house, seemingly transported there in an instant. Later that night, breaking news opened with the mysterious destruction in a shower room in Redline High; six high schoolers were gravely injured. Publicly, it was chalked up to faulty powerline and a gas leak, but PRT investigations found traces of ionized gas and solar radiation within the destroyed room. That, combined with the testimonials of the injured high schoolers, led the PRT to the Kastrati household, specifically the one and only son. By that time, Thelonious had a better understanding of his abilities, conjuring stars within the basement when no one else was home. That, and he sometimes portaled from the yard to the basement. It was clear, however, that he cannot remain in regular society like this. His parents were somewhat resistant to the idea that their only child is to go to some program, but they relented after about a week. As for Thelonious, he was up to it. Knowing what he wielded, he may get tempted to portal his bullies into the sea the next time he sees them. [b]Powers:[/b] [u][b]Cosmogenesis (Shaker 6):[/b][/u] Thelonious produces and channels star energy in a small scale. He is as such able to create and maintain up to two miniature stars at a given time, whose size can vary from a ping pong ball into a larger basketball (though mass is a different matter). They can be a light source for dark places, but they have more destructive purposes. These can either be set to detonate with approximately the same power as a stick of dynamite with a radius of six feet, or detonate harmlessly, save through the powerful flashbang that results. The stars float at all times, and can be launched in a specific direction, though they are rather slow moving and are easy to spot. Their detonation sequence also has a universal delay of about five seconds, making it most effective against static targets. Getting too close to the stars will cause sunburns; extremely close skin contact inflicts radiation burns. [u][b]Wormhole Tunneling (Mover 6):[/b][/u] Using the same energy, Thelonious can open a crack in the fabric of space, allowing instantaneous travel between two points. This ability has a maximum safe distance of 40 kilometers (further distances incurs lengthy comas), and requires a reference; live footage, memory, or an up to date photograph is required for him to be able to open the rift. [b]Skills:[/b] When he was still unpowered, Thelonious was noted to be a great painter. [b]Other:[/b] No girlfriend since birth, sadly. [/hider] Updated and changed [/quote] Hm...Without saying too much about the new variation we have here (and there [i]are[/i] some issues, I'm afraid), but how much do you know about Trigger Events and the classifications, Emperor? Because it feels like you don't, and if that's the case, I'd be happy to help clear up any confusions to ensure a clear picture on things.
