Just kidding, I already forgot your name."[/i][/center] [hr] [hr] [b]Name:[/b] Thelonious Kastrati [b]Alias:[/b] Constellation [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.

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 it serves its purpose. [/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. As a child, he had the dream of becoming an astronaut, and reaching out towards the stars. Every night, he would look through the telescope, thinking of impossible dreams as typical for someone of such a young age. In school, though, the torment continued. 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? It took a while, though. He devised ways to ruin the day of his oppressors without drawing too much attention to himself, such as secretly placing laxatives in their drinks. It was the least he could do to avenge himself and his friend, who had unfortunately been away from Redline. This was a rigged battle from the very start, as he was up against the misbegotten offspring of high officials. Money and influence, it seemed, had its way in these halls. One day, however, everything changed. Thelonious' mother had fallen ill, but they didn't have the money to pay for the medication/medical bills to aid with her situation. She was, in all respects, dying. Thus, Thelonious' father and uncle, along with an older cousin, went to some dangerous connections, gangsters, whatever, to make a deal to get the money for his mom's medication and bills. They don't know the price, but as they arrive, the negotiations begin. His father leads, telling them what they're asking for. Thelonious and his family members are surrounded in that grassy field, with the clear starry night sky up ahead. His father asks what they'll need to trade in exchange for the money. The mobsters grin and give some suggestions, all business. Some of the thugs around them jeer or try to intimidate them almost playfully. His father, however, is unable to afford any of the prices and says so. The mobster smiles and says something like 'well, looks like you'll have to trade some lives for your wife.' He gestures and the gangsters close in on the family. His uncle resists, but is beaten to a pulp. The mobster meets Thelonious' eyes with a sinister grin, as if to say 'you're next.' Thelonious felt unbridled rage because of the terrible situation they're in. He was angry at his father for such poor decisions, and at these horrible people. At once the tension is extremely high, violence abounds, but he can't keep track of all the thugs. He triggers as his anger and the chaos of the situation totally overpowers him, blotting out his senses--and indeed his sense of reason. At that moment, an entity found a suitable vessel. The shard unraveled, and Thelonious was enlightened. He could now create the shiniest of lights, the fiercest of flames. And so, instead of them being the victims that night, the invaders became cowering insects. Orbs of starlight blinded them, before searing hot orbs set clothing and flesh alight. The chaotic constellation that ensued wiped out the gangsters, purging them from the face of the earth. The gang were all dead, and the Kastrati clan yet lived. Later in the morning, as the Kastratis recovered and spoke to one another about the events of last night, the PRT showed up at their door. PRT investigations found traces of ionized gas within the area of concern, as well as charred bodies belonging to some of the most notorious gangsters in the state. Investigations pinpointed just who these gangsters were supposed to meet at the night, which led them to this moment. It was clear, however, that Thelonious cannot remain in regular society like this. His parents were somewhat resistant to the idea that their only child is to go away from them, but they relented after about a week as the ultimatum became heavier. In exchange for around the clock protection for them, Thelonious was to enter the Wards Program. Knowing what he wielded, he may get tempted to explode the bullies the next time if he sees them. [b]Powers:[/b] [u][b]Cosmogenesis (Blaster 6):[/b][/u] Thelonious produces and channels plasma energy. He is as such able to create and maintain up to four miniature stars at a given time, with three distinct modes that operate in a sliding scale of heat and light. They can move at around 7 to 8 meters per second, with any turns requiring pauses in movement. Mode 1 (Searing Star): Capable of melting through most metals, as well as turning sand into glass at physical contact. By far the dimmest, but the most potent in terms of destructive potential. These can immolate most materials that they may come across. Mode 2 (Blinding Star): Little to no destructive capability, but the brightness emanating when it is created acts as a powerful flashbang, temporarily disorienting and blinding those who had not protected their eyes. Mode 3 (Main Sequence): Seemingly unremarkable, these main sequence stars, as he calls them, are able to sear wood and stone, and can be difficult to look at for prolonged periods. This is the foundation from which the other two derive from in their creation. [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 [/quote] Final (hopefully) update lewl
