Masks, A Tale of Heroes (CLOSED)

@ScarlettWaters16 I'm curious to see what happens when Shadow and Andrew meet out in the field as Farseer and Starlit. I think they would get along if only because Farseer is less a fighter and more the guy who talks people down.

Masks, A Tale of Heroes (CLOSED)

Name:
Andrew Macdonald

Age:
23

Gender:
Male
Ethnicity:
Caucasian

Appearance

Confidential

Alias:
Farseer

Costume:


Meta-Human Power:
Those who go up against the Farseer will quickly discover and spread word of his claim that he can see the future and thus everything that they are about to do, often telling them in great detail about what is about to happen; Shortly after which he will prove himself right.

In truth however, this is a facade. The Farseer's true ability is a voice that has a rather hypnotic effect on people; While he cannot outright control someone, the Farseer can influence them to various degrees from invoking an emotional response to outright implanting suggestions, impulses and ideas into their minds, often without them knowing. The whole 'I can see the future' act is merely a way for him to influence those he goes up against so that events will play out as he 'predicts' without them guessing what his true powers are.

Weaknesses or Side-Effects:
Farseer must be able to speak freely for his powers to have any effect at all. The target of his powers must also be able to hear/understand what he is saying in order to be influenced by it; Someone who can't understand english or doesn't understand what the words Farseer is using actually mean are just likely to get confused rather then actually influenced in any way shape or form.

Personality:
For the most part Andrew is a quiet, socially awkward man that normally stays at home on his computer unless work or shopping finally drags him outside. Legally diagnosed with high functioning aspergers and working a low skilled job because he hates the education system with a passion, Andrew tries to be as polite as good as he can despite his difficultly with most social situations. He has a few close friends from his school days that he talks to occasionally online but otherwise it is rare for him to actively seek social company.

As Farseer, Andrew is almost a completely different person. Confident, cool headed and (At least seemingly) always in control of the situation, Farseer is largely the kind of person Andrew wishes he could be but isn't. It's amazing the difference a mask can make.

Since getting the ability to influence others with his voice, Andrew has started to grow much more confident in himself.

Background:
Andrew was born and raised in Modern City, the youngest (And only male) child of the Macdonald family. If pressed, he would say that he had a fairly lucky upbringing; He grew up with a loving, middle class family. Seemingly fewer and fewer people could claim such a thing.

If there was one thing that Andrew hated, it was school. He was surrounded by people he hated, learning things from teachers that had stopped caring a long time ago in a system that had been screwing them all from the start. Still, he managed to finish high school even if he never properly sort out higher education.

Andrew's 'career' if it can be called that was being limited to 12 hours a week working at a supermarket, a job he got largely due to the connections of his older sisters. Still living at home with his parents when the bay accident happened, Andrew didn't notice his new found 'gift' for a while due to his somewhat anti social behavior. However, as he noticed that more and more things were going his way and the appearance of 'Supers', Andrew started to test some theories and was pleasantly surprised to learn that he was effectively a mutant.

With the money he had saved up combined with some cash his parents had put aside for him, Andrew moved out after securing a surprisingly good deal with a friendly landlord (*Wink Wink*) and joined up with the local Socialist political party.

Andrew created the 'Farseer' out of a desire to do good and help his home city while also giving himself ample chance to practice and possibly strength his new found gifts.

Other: Andrew is a member of Modern City's Socialist Party. While currently he is one of the party people that works behind the scenes to make sure things happen, he seems to have caught the notice of the current local candidate as someone to keep close.

I think I might just wait for the evening muster as well. Make officially joining the squad something official and all of that.

I'm still here. I'll get a post up soonish.

The Socialist Party is looking for more MP's. Just try not to be to insane. That's what the communists are for.

For whatever reason, they were giving him the chance to talk. Admittingly their patience was clearly starting to wear thin but they were listening and not trying to kill him. Raito found this to be a bit of a mixed blessing; Sure, it was great for his current situation but had he been trying to distract them to allow unseen allies to launch an ambush they would have fallen for it hook line and sinker. Something to work on it seemed...

Holding up the folder he had brought with him all this way, he started to speak up in order to be heard clearly despite the distance between them "This is the file of who was meant to be on team five. Before the exam began, your friend there-" Raito took a moment to point his thumb over his shoulder to the out cold woman to enforce his point "And her friends decided to ambush me while I was on route and replaced me with one of their groups members... IE, her. This was no doubt a plan to set you guys up for a fall but as I said earlier I spotted the remains of her team on the way here. Turns out removing a member for this plan has backfired on them rather badly. The people they left me with were rather sub-par guards and are now very dead. I pulled some connections I have and here I am, talking to you and holding a file of who was meant to be on team five because I just knew that if I came here with no proof of my claim at all that you would rather wisely not believe me."

Waiting a few seconds to let this sink in and taking the time to look at the shape his team was in, Raito also offered "I have training in medical jutsu as well." Nothing like offering a skill that was in despite need to rig the scales of thought towards the 'Believe him and let him live' option.
