Omega Man
Emma"I am the Sun! I will always rise! And darkness always falls!"
Name: Ricado Fenix
Alias: Phoenix Dawn
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Precautions: None
Personality:
Bombastic, larger than life, and fully believing he is doing the right thing. Dawn is stubborn, self-sure, and given to the idea of the superhero style and disposition. He is often times to loudest in the room, and fully taken to being in to spotlight and the attention he gets. In the field, he is direct, hard hitting, and prone to being the front line powerhouse. He will most assuredly go out of his way to save civilians and bring swift justice to the villainous. He is a team player, but often views others as liabilities. They are not as strong, or as tough, but he doesn't openly complain, saving them brings him glory and reaffirms his already massive ego. He isn't a hero. He is THE HERO! The one that everyone should strive to be. His obnoxious, holier than though, goody goody boy scout antics no doubt gets on others nerves, but Dawn always means well.
On the flip side, Dawn is naive, ignorant, and guillible. He can be easily manipluated, which is why he is essentially a poster boy for the organization. He'll follow directions but only to the point that it doesn't out right keep people from getting hurt or villains escaping. He will also be a reason for alot of collateral damage, and can be prone to giving into potentially apocalyptic rages. Finally he will go off schedule to be and appear as an ideal of heroism. Hiding, stealth, cleverness, they are not his strong suites, as he'd rather be out of the open, showing his fearlessness when sublty would be better. So sure of his own self righteousness, he is also prone to indulging in food, drink, vices, and women. He will try to charm anything remotely female, with variable degrees of success. He is commonly discouraged of such behavior, lest there be a scandal. Being given an unheroic choice, Dawn will shut down, trying to really think what is right, but he can be convinced one way or the other.
Powers/ Abilities:
Phoenix Dawn's powers stem from absorbing light energy. Light feeds directly as additional energy into Dawn's musculature which act as batteries for the stored photonic energy. When powered, Dawn's muscle body mass grows by 30% and additional radiation is discharged passively as golden light, or fiery sparks. Dawn's main powers are strength and toughness far beyond biological limits. At study of limitation testing, Dawn has a lifting capacity of 2,000 MG and a punching strength of over 300,000 kJ, enough to raise air temperature around his fist by a staggering 121 C and easily tear through 56 cm Stainless Steel. Defense wise, 7.2 mm rounds fired from a BAR LMG have only shown to leave light bruises or welts at points of impact. Anti-Tank Rounds have been shown to break skin, but little else. His speed is only slightly higher than that of normal human, but often he simply leaps where he is needed. He can clear a mile easily with a running start. Dawn also seems to be empowered while exposed to sun or bright lights, he gets a slight healing factor while doing so, shrugging off potentially debilitating wounds.
Dawn's powers leave him incredibly prone to causing alot in collateral damage and thus during his initial recovery and training, he has been specifically trained in meditative and disciplined martial arts such as Greek Wrestling, Mu Tai, and Ju Jitsu. His expertise in learning such disciplines has manifested in additional abilities. These are theorized to be a way to manipulate the energy to be discharged into other effects.
Notable abilties are:
Ready in Ten Directions- In a two yard sphere around him, Dawn can repel and deflect any attack at a blurring speed. He will use this technique to defend others whom can enter freely regardless of his blinding pace at which he will block incoming attacks. He however CANNOT move from this sphere while it is up and needs a solid surface to do so.
Sledgehammer Fist Punch- Rather than punching through a wall, the attack causes the building to crumble. Entire structures or objects can be destroyed with a single attack, even if there destruction would prevent otherwise.
Thunderclap Rush Attack- In a near instant, Dawn can close the distance to deliver a devastating attack, no matter what direction a foe is. He cannot chain this ability to strike one than another.
Golden Fists of Battle- His fists actually light aflame and glow with golden fire. This is amps up his already significant damage. Fires are actually started in his wake.
Hurl to the Horizon- Any object that Dawn can lift, can be thrown, the whole thing, defying that physics would not allow a bumper to support the weight of the car. Anything that Dawn can see, can be struck, but that doesnt stop those from getting out of the way.
Foe Breaking Shockwave- Striking any service, or even a foe can cause a shockwave, knocking down the foes allies.
The Sun Always Rises On the dawn of each day, Dawn will completely recover for all damage. It is unknown whether this effect works if Dawn is killed. It will however remove any anesthesia or tranquilizers in his system
Immunity to Everything Technique Unlike the name, it isn't actually everything. He shrugs off mundane poisons, diseases, or effects with some effort. He still appears to be prone to more super powered effects.
Elemental Adaptation Prana Mundane conditions of heat or cold seem to not slow down the Dawn. This ability has no effect against elemental or super-powered sources of heat or cold.
Appearance:

Other:
Again, all of Dawn's abilities are based upon his exposure to light. Limits can be easily imposed should he start to show signs of discontent.
History:
Ricardo was a boy essentially sold into child labor, and his brutal lot in life was the fighting pits of the crime rings of Peru, Brazil, and other places of South America. Abused, kept in dreadful conditions, bloodied by conflict, Ricardo was considered more of an animal to be put down when other children were playing in the streets less than a block away. Then the reports came in of the child that was unbeatable. Breaking backs with single kicks, and crushing skulls with but single strikes. It attracted attention of a potential Super, and though Ricardo fought bravely, he was taken along with his keepers and the thugs of the fighting pit. Unlike them, destined for prison, the child was set to a foster home. Ricardo never knowing compassion or love, so imagine his surprise when the state put the child into a family of constant affermations and compliments. Having suffered, then given to a life without need, he learned that he had earned his survival and thus had a unique insight to the pains of the world. He was given the power to do something about it. To be strong enough to destroy the men who ruined his childhood and make sure that no one else suffered. His outlook was encouraged and cultivated by his foster parents and the Horizon Sponsors. By his teen years, he was already an applicant and shoe in for the academy.
He saw the academy as little more than his birthright. The challenges were met egerly. The trials relished. When he was found wanting, he redoubled his efforts, training his body as well as his powers. His studies were carefully manipulated, the risk mitigated as they taught him how best to fight. The techniques he created for himself were considered the only down side to his training, having an element of randomness to his carefully planned life up to that point. Still, they served him well in the problems ahead. His success grew within him a sense of entitlment and a world view that he could do no wrong. That is he that others should look up to, and this his persona became himself. No longer was he Ricardo, but Phoenix Dawn, the greatest of all Heroes.
Since joining Horizon, Dawn has been used on repeated occasion as propaganda, showing the public how essential they are to maintaining the safety of the state and public at large, while at the same time wordlessly stating that it is because of their control over such god like beings that keep them just as safe. Dawn seems oblivious to his prison, or just doesn't really care. Everything is safer, everything is better, and his names are on the lips of the happy masses. Dawn has made sure to befriend the Horizon Staff and offered to take any new hero under his tutelage. Surely he could teach them a thing or two of what it means to be a real hero. He is actually quite surprised of how bitter alot of his cohorts are. They have everything they could ever need? What more is there.
The speed attack is a bit too much, I'd suggest taking it out. I'd also suggest toning down his strength a bit. He shouldn't be able to fell an entire building in one punch. The fire thing to a bit too much.
Other than those things, it looks good.
