[b]Name:[/b] The Cubist (alternate reality of [url= http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/4323/posts/ooc?page=1#post-98031]Rave Friendenburg[/url] [b]Age:[/b] 36 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Appearance:[/b] [hider=My Drawing][img] http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/040/4/f/rave1_by_theimportantman-d74puwu.png[/img][/hider] That is of Rave Friendenburg, but being the same guy, just an alternative reality, means that everything is almost exactly the same besides his clothing. He wears a black leather bodysuit (not the sexy kind and has padding so luckily doesn't reveal anything), knee high black boots and elbow high black gloves. He also wears three necklaces, three bracelets, and three anklets, each necklace containing five 30 mm steel cubes strung along it and the bracelets/anklets containing five 15 mm ones. However, these have a purpose so will also be mentioned in equipment. [b]Personality:[/b] Few know what he was truly like while working among the shadows as his time as the mad scientist version of himself before he split realities and went down the path of the cubist. After suffering from amnesia, and as a result loosing sight of his original motivations, his personality has changed. A lot of his personality is the same as the mad scientist version but a few glaring differences. Let's first get the similarities out of the way. He has remained a very intelligent but is now scatterbrained. He struggles to focus on anything complicated in a serious manner for very long, resulting in what was originally a clever idea might end up leaving a lot to be desired with the final product by venturing off into the loony bin or just not working out as planned. He's also prone to forgetting stuff that he doesn't bother remembering such as where he left his pens, causing him to lose hundreds of pens over the years and he never learns his lesson. Any attempts to find the huge stash of missing pens around his underground lair has been futile. He's an incredibly carefree guy who only does things if they interest him or sometimes on a whim. Therefore he never sticks to any long term goals, preferring short bursts of fun evil doing to cease his boredom. This enjoyment is what drives him more then the goals themselves, so if one of his plans is in jeopardy but the result can be more interesting then his original plan then he might allow it to fail. He'd even go so far as to watch enemies sneak around in his lair without alerting anyone in order to see what would become of this development. If he really wants something done, however, then he's capable of being more serious about it. Now for the differences. He decided on a whim not to go down the road of scientists. He had a new passion in life; all things cubes, as he discovered the weird changes in his brain after the amnesia set in had him with a newfound fetish for cubes. Cubes changed his life when he discovered a device that can help him store anything he wants in cubes! It's hard for him to focus on anything else. What does he want in a cube next? That's his main goal; to put the world's best things into cubes. [b][u]Abilities[/u][/b] [b]Physical Abilities-[/b] He's just a man without much exercise. [b]Clever Insanity-[/b] He's very intelligent, although due to his condition he's limited from what he was in the past, originally being one of the smartest people in existence. This applies mostly to book smarts. [b]Observation-[/b] He can see fine details that others might miss. [b]Resourcefulness-[/b] Able to make the most of his situation. [b]Judge of character-[/b] Can more easily then a lot of people find out if people are lying or other qualities about them that could possibly show through. He's equivalent to Sherlock Holmes, at least until his scatterbrain takes effect. [b][u]Powers[/u][/b] This is a form of technology that can easily be mistaken as magic. After installing a device into his brain, his body has unlocked the ability to be able to squash objects into cubes formed out of swirling purple energy. All he has to do is place both hands on the object and channel the walls of an dimension through his fingertips, forming a cube shape that will slowly squeeze them inside up until the desired size and then seal them/it inside this dimension once the move is completed. The cube can be no bigger then 1 cubic foot before becoming too unstable but he prefers making them much smaller. After touching the cube again he can dispel the dimension to bring the object inside back out to the real world. The object inside weighs only as much as it's new size relative to the outside world. Magical attacks can shatter the cube walls pretty easily and brute strength, although would require around the force of a bullet to break through. This power of his can be done for two major purposes. [b]Summoning-[/b] If he does the squeezing process slow enough then the object can survive/not break and be summoned at a later date, and it doesn't even need to eat, sleep, or do any natural processes during this time, being kept in suspended animation. Even massive dragons can be at his fingertips, just so long as they don't eat him rather then his enemies. To be safe for this process and keep them alive/not broken, a good rule of thumb is that he can only make them squeeze to 50% of their size every 30 minutes. That being said, it would take a 6 foot tall human an hour and 15 minutes to squeeze them down to the maximum allowed size to be stable without him working on it and the Cubist must be using his powers the entire time before reaching this point without a break. [b]Elimination-[/b] If he catches someone between his hands and starts to squeeze, he doesn't have to do so gently. He can reduce someone/something human sized to 50% of their size in only 10 seconds. Although if they're flexible they can contort into a position that takes up 50% less space then they will be fine...for that 10 seconds. He can keep the move going until they no longer have any space to go and are crushed as small as desired up until the size of a standard virus. [b][u]Equipment[/u][/b] [b]Items:[/b] The necklaces, anklets, and bracelets (mentioned in his appearance) carry, in total, 45 summons that include both animate and inanimate objects that he has collected over the years. They are protected in steel cubes, which can be unhinged to reveal the swirling purple cubes inside that hold the object. I'm [i]not[/i] going to be listing all 45, at the very least not now. I'll add some in time. [b][u]Bio[/u][/b] Rave's past has been largely forgotten due to a self inflicted case of amnesia caused by one of his own inventions, intentionally or otherwise unknown even to him. At the time he had become one of the greatest evil geniuses in the multiverse. Even so there was still not much was known about him besides the legends, and some claim he never even existed at all, or was perhaps an entire team of scientists working together. He interacted with others only from the shadows, so there are no known people who know of his identity or have met him in person with the knowledge of who he was. The action most attributed to him is helping lead a robotic army of I.L.L. (Interdimensional Liberation Legion), which is responsible for being at war with many nations around the multiverse who they believe are abusing their power. I.L.L.'s end goal might be admirable to eliminate all corrupt governments, but their means to such an end and key members who have other goals in mind leave the organization far from heroic. Rave is rumored to have little true allegiance to I.L.L. or any other group for that matter, simply using them for his scientific research and curiosity with an end goal of achieving some so called "ultimate discovery". Had he achieved such a feat then he probably would have become as powerful as a god, but as it turns out that would not come to pass, at least for now, as the amnesia kicked in and with it erased all progress towards that goal. This event that caused amnesia also split him into two realities. The cubist made use of the cube forming technology he stumbled upon from his previous years while the mad scientist version found two robots. The cubist has been wandering the multiverse ever since in search of the perfect thing to claim as his own inside one of his cubes.
