General Clothes: In-costume Jacob completes this costume with a mask to cover his face.
Jacob isn't psychically very strong he goes the the gym and looks after himself but he's no body builder.
Powers: Fletcher can Teleport to literally any place he has visited and can remember. This is only limited by his mental willpower he could if he wanted to teleport a whole building but in doing so it would overload his brain and cause him to have several seizure or strokes. He can comfortably teleport a maximum of 4 people or a Van (with nobody inside), anymore and it starts to take a toll on him both physically and mentally. Fletcher does not have to teleport with the object or person he teleports. Fletcher needs to be able to concentrate on his target so if he was in pain or had a headache (basically distracted) he would not be able to focus on the location. Fletcher's power works through physicals touch, so he must touch the thing he want to teleport.

Fletcher was distraught but not surprised, orphaned Fletcher looked for a job not finding one he decided to work as a journalist and instantly found his calling. Landing 12 good stories he managed to earn enough money to buy a small apartment.
Second is the story after receiving their abilities. After 31 amazing stories that all landed him a nice bag of cash Fletcher turned his eye to Photography. Instantly he took to it, and spent a year of his life using his camera to help him gather evidence for his stories. Of course he went down a dark road of using blackmail to get what he wanted, but that is all in the past. After he discovered his power he abused quite a lot. Stealing a lot of money in order to move to Washington and buy himself a small and well stocked house full of everything he wanted. He soon grew bored and guilty of this and decided to stop stealing and to only use his power for good. He thought of himself as Superman. Journalist by day and Hero by night. Now he’s working on a big story that he hopes will provide him with some answers...
<Snipped quote by Nytefall> The powers are a little much... Turning people to glass? Summoning monsters? Giving people mental disorders? 'The Power of The Old Ones' sounds like in some scenarios it could be the finger of god. You're gonna need to limit it more in some way and tone it down a bit.
@DocTachyon Not really, its as random as can be. I said evil entities i never said they were actual physical monsters, they may not even hurt them could just be an annoying noise or a bunny that will follow around the person swearing at them.
The Whole character is based around randomness, i am more then happy to have his powers do nothing of use against an opponent.

Name: Houston Kelorae Gender: Male Age: 24 Location: Washington Settlement: With his fragile mind Houston can not live with people in large groups and lives in a dilapidated church. Profession: Student
Personality: Houston had a bright future but the apocalypse and the things that happened to before took their toll on his mind. Due to this Houston finds it hard to keep a stable persona and often find himself flitting between emotions. At one point he could be happy and serious man more then willing to help you, the next he turns into a mess of tears and anguish. Or if you were unlucky perhaps he sees you as one of the creatures of his nightmares and decides to attack you. Normally he can control his emotions through meditation and positive thinking but missed session or an increase in stress can cause him to lose control of himself.
On a good day though Houston has a kind and caring attitude, he was the kind of man that would help and old woman across the road. Being a smart man he has no problems correcting people and even himself and adopts the ideas that if you can put your mind to it. You can accomplish it.
Houston does not wear any kind of superhero suit or disguise, he normally doesn’t go looking for trouble unless he needs to learn information.The only kind of disguise or costume he would wear would be a scarf over his face and a heavy coat to hide himself. However since the world collapsed he has found it harder and harder to hold onto the scraps of his sanity and now walks around wearing a long black cloak.
I’m not crazy. YET!: Houston has a high resistance against mental attacks or attacks that attack his mind. This is due to his already cracked and damaged mind that finds only the strongest of mental attacks actually affect him. It also makes him basically immune to people reading his mind as all they will be able to see are the horrific vision he saw.
Doorway beyond the veil: Houston has opened a doorway inside his mind and tapped into the power of the Great Old Ones. It grants all of his abilities the ability to drain his opponents sanity and stamina to the point of causing permanent mental damage when exposed to them for too long. The side effects from being exposed to the Great Old One’s powers can result in Schizophrenia, Delusion, Dementia, Blackouts, Self harm, Disorientation, Suicidal thoughts or actions or Hysteria causing them to not recognise friend from foe.
Necronomicon: Houston wields the tome known as the Necronomicon with it he can summon otherworldly creatures to possess his body granting him great strength, endurance and allowing him to twist his body into inhuman shapes without harming himself. This causes him great mental strain and is normally a last resort as he must rest after reading from and banishing the spirit that possessed him. He can also curse his enemies by reading from the book causing the afflicted to be harassed by evil entities until the curse is dispelled or the entity defeated. Houston must recite the entire passage which is three pages long.
Power of the Great Old Ones: Houston can manifest and wield the power of the Great Old Ones. This power can manifest itself in a majority of ways. Mainly it looks like smoking darkness in his hands, he can throw this mass of dark energy at someone or simply touch them causing a variety of effects. Sometimes it can do nothing other times and more then likely it will do something harmful. Houston has seen people's limbs turn to glass or butterflies. Their body age rapidly or suffer necrosis of the hit area. Or Houston has seen people’s body explode into thousands of pieces. He never knows what will happen but it always amazes him.
Scholar: Thanks to his eidetic memory he found school very easy and has no trouble gleaming information from books or people. It also allows him to pick up basic skills fairly quickly.
Master Linguist: Houston knows over 20 different languages
Psychologist: Houston is an unofficial psychologist as he never finished his course. Allowing him to read people and manipulate them.
Master of the Unknown: The corruption that was forced upon him changed his body in many ways, allowing him to endure alot more punishment than an normal human could take and strengthened his mind against mental attacks. It also granted him a never aging body allowing him to live essentially forever or until the fickle gods decide to take back their "Gifts".
The Necronomicon: A book crafted from human and Xeno skin it’s origin is unknown to Houston but it was a rare find during an expedition into a Great Old One cult. The book's contents are all written in the Language of the Old Ones. Reading from this book is enough to drive weak minds insane and release dangerous creature who hunger for human blood and souls. Houston can wield the book but only through sheer force of will and everytime he uses the book he must fight for control of his mind and the power the book has trapped inside it’s pages.
Houston has a dark past. Since birth he has known nothing but rituals, cult meetings and murder of the worst kind. Houston was born into a cult and raised as the prophet child of the religion. According to the cults ancient text and divine imagery, a child would be born from the blood of their mother with the strength to channel the Great Old One’s power and lead them into a new world.
Houston’s birth was no miracle but fates worst joke. His mother heavily pregnant, took part in a ritualistic suicide in which her womb was cut open to allow Houston into the world. Herself performed cesarean worked but Houston’s mother did not survive the amount of damage that she inflicted upon herself. Thus the first part of the prophecy was complete, Houston had indeed been born from the dead and bloody corpse of his mother. When Houston’s eyes first gazed upon the world he saw only horror. His eye’s saw things that a normal human’s could not, he heard the harsh whisper of thousands of voices in his ear and felt a malevolent presence held back by a thin veil of light.
Houston was trained in the cults ways and was sent to school like a normal child. However Houston could never shut out the voices, or stop the creatures he saw from staring at him patiently, like dogs waiting for their owners to feed them. Houston could tell that he could not be a master to these beasts he barely kept his sanity in check when he looked upon them. For every glimpse, every whisper he heard he was pulled slowly but surely into the dark chasm of madness. He never spoke about what he saw to anyone not even his father.
Houston managed his way through school, then through university where he did a degree in mythology and the history of religion. While in his studies he discovered that names of the creatures that had plagued him his entire life. As he delved deeper into his studies he learnt more and more about his cults dark past. The rituals that his father and his cult had performed on him, the many people he had watched be tortured and killed. It was all to weaken the veil that separated their world from the Great Old One’s world.
Realizing how foolish he had been he confronted his father with the knowledge he had found. his father chuckled telling his son to follow him deep into the cults worshiping chambers. Once there he found all of the cultist in a large circle made up of three rings of people, each person grasped tightly in their right hand a dagger. In the middle of the circle was a large basin built into the form. Then it all went dark. He woke up bound in the basin his father was in the circle and all of the cultist were chanting loudly. A tall slim joyous man waltz towards Houston, he bent down and cupped Houston’s chin in his hand and smiled. He spoke in what Houston now knows to be latin. The words he spoke were forever engraved in Houston’s fragile mind finally cracking him and causing that last of Houston’s sanity to leave him.
The words are as followed: Though they sleep beyond the veil Though they are trapped behind the veil Though they look into this world They may never touch the world they see beyond the veil This child has been born from blood This child has seen they who lie beyond the veil This child is ready to become the doorway from this world to theirs Let your blood fill the basin mortals and grant this human your strength to ascend and tear the barriers of this world down!
The man raised his hands in the air as all of the cultist slit the person to their lefts throat causing the blood to gush from them into the basin bathing Houston in the blood of the cultist who despite their excessive blood loss, remained upright head bowed toward Houston until their final drop of blood was spent. Houston screamed as he was lifted of his feet above the basin the blood below him writhed and whipped at his ankles. His scream of pain became silent his mouth agape as his mind was torn open revealing to him the secrets of the world that humans inhabited. His brain overflowed with every detail of earths history from its birth to its death. He saw the Great old ones awakening from their slumber and breaking through the veil that had protect the human race for so long. He watched as the universe was enslaved and set upon by these monstrous creatures.
Then it stopped, the vision disappeared and Houston dropped into the now empty basin. The tall man looked down at Houston fascinated at what the man had become. Houston was a door waiting to be unlocked and thus the tall man turned around and disappeared into darkness saying one final speech to Houston before he lost consciousness: "The most merciful thing in the world... is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents but you. You can see the world and its barriers. You alone can stop what you have foreseen and what will happen if you fail. Use these gift wisely. That reminds me. You are but one part of a seven piece door, they have the keys but they must influence the mortals here to create the doors they need to enter this world. Good luck Houston." And the tall man disappeared in a sea of darkness as Houston’s body fell into unconsciousness.
Houston managed to piece his sanity back together but he still finds it hard to control his delusions, however his delusions granted him powers he could've never imagined which he plans to use to stop the Great Old One’s from using him or anyone else as a conduit to enslave this world. Though this was a long time ago and his sanity had slowly shifted making him lose his grip on reality and his mission.
