The Gifted: A Fast Paced Superpower RP

Name: Alto Ganze

Alias(s): Bio-Weapon

Age: 22

Affiliations: Heroes/Mercenaries


Description:
He now ties his hair up in a ponytail most of the time because his hair got pretty long. He also keeps his hair out of his face with hair pins.

In public, he always wears a lab coat fully buttoned up that would seem a little bit too large for him. When out of the eyes of the public, he wears a red version of the above jacket instead. The sleeves are normal and he now wears a full glove over his right hand as well as the fingerless glove on his left and he keeps spares for both of them in his pockets.

Powers: Alto’s actual power is that he is able to program everything that is programmable as if it was a natural thing to him. His power makes programming second nature, and can also be extended to hacking. Normally that would put him at about A rank still, but then there’s the robot arms.

One day (which will be explained in history), Alto got a robot arm. A bunch of stuff happened (which will be explained in history) and now he can use it as an extremely potent weapon. The arm is in fact a symbiotic life form which latched onto Keith because of his actual power.

The arm seems to run on a mysterious kind of energy which cannot be separated from the arm and can only be used by the arm itself. The energy levels seem to increase over time.

Alto currently has two robot arms, and both of them have immense power. His left arm, which he named Theo, is able to use and manipulate its latent energy directly while his right arm, which he named Con, is currently only capable of making constructs out of something resembling black steel. His basic abilites are also boosted to the point of becoming a super-human, but Alto can turn this on and off as he wishes.

Now he is able to physically manifest the personas of his arms as energy constructs.

Presently he has a massive number of programs and protocols which he can use to adapt to an innumerable number of situations. He also currently has a secret weapon.

Skills: Science, physics and genetics specifically, engineering, some martial arts

Rank: S Rank

Equipment: Glasses, Theo, Con, secret weapon, pockets full of gloves

Brief History:

Brief history is brief

In his younger days, Keith was renowned as a child genius in the science and engineering fields. If anyone asked him why he would say it was because he wanted to have a robot arm someday that could do a rocket punch. Later in life he would discover that by the time his dreams were made a reality, he would be pretty old and he wouldn’t get to enjoy it.

Regardless, he threw himself into research and he had many findings on robotics, prosthetics and similar things. Eventually, he got bored of researching such mundane things, but he couldn’t research rocket powered robot arms because the industry didn’t see any use in it and wouldn’t fund his research. Having run into such a roadblock on the way to his dream, he wearily resigned himself to weeping bitterly (not really weeping but you know what I mean) to himself as he thought about what could’ve been. Until that is, it happened.

On the night before his 16th birthday, he wished on a shooting star that his birthday present would be a robot arm that at least shot lasers or something. As he was sleeping, the shooting star turned around and started plummeting towards the earth. When he woke up, there was a smoking crater next to his bed and his left arm had been turned into a sweet ass robot arm.

Before he even got up however, it started playing a pre-recorded message in his mind.

“This is a pre-recorded message for the bearer of this life-form.” The message said. “You have no doubt found that you suddenly have a limb that has been changed into a robot arm. If this inconveniences you, then I sincerely apologize but this is necessary for my race’s survival. I am the last of my kind, so I sought a way to further our species again. I found that we were once made, and I thought perhaps we could be made again. Your planet had the most promise of being able to recreate us, so I have been orbiting the planet seeking the best candidate for the task. Now the task falls on you, I have depleted myself in my travels, and I must enter hibernation.”

With that, the arm became inert, and his mind immediately filled with questions such as can it shoot lasers? and, can it do a rocket punch?! He would find out in the following year that yes, it can shoot lasers and no it could do a rocket punch.

He also found out that the arm actually was an organic life-form. It had formed some sort of symbiotic relationship with his left arm which apparently still existed but was not part of his actual arm. He found this out by taking a look into its programming and that’s when he found out his actual powers of programming. There was a recharge program running in his arm and looking at the code he somehow understood that the life-form was somehow recharging itself using his left arm which was now somehow in another dimension. He didn't really understand that either.

After five years, Alto has stopped his research on the Bio-Weapon as now that it is conscious, it can simply tell him everything he needs to know. But, due to the fact that Aperture was utterly destroyed, his science and engineering skills have been in high demand over the 5 years since the Raid. The Government granted him funding to continue his research on robotic limbs, and even let him design some weaponary as well.

Other than that, he has made several breakthroughs in the field of prosthetics. Mostly in the fields of the physical responses and feedback of prosthetic limbs, but if you asked him what they were, he wouldn't know because; "There are so many other people who know, I don't bother remembering."

The government and the public are unaware of the true nature of his arms, as he doesn't truly show their full power to many people and he doesn't talk to them in the presence of people he doesn't trust. He is also secretly manager of a mercenary team, and goes around the underworld calling his group Illegal Stuff Pty Ltd. It's safe to say he doesn't get taken very seriously a lot of the time.

But for those who have used his services, he has an unbeaten track record, especially in the field of hacking. He is also capable of pulling off bank heists, espionage and other similarly illegal things by himself, even though Illegal Stuff pty Ltd. is technically a team.

NarcissisticPotato said
I hate to be a hater but your character might run into some problems when he's going against mine... she's kinda a technopath. . So, due to the fact that he has cool lasers and shit, can we say that she's the better programmer/hacker? Also, if they aren't arch-nemesis then they have to be shipped intensely. No buts.Plus, Aperture Labs are a big corporation in this, Alto would fit in well there!

Technically the arm is a programmable living organism but she definitely is better at hacking and programming

Name: Alto Ganze

Alias(s): (none yet)

Age: 17

Affiliations: Corporate? Or The Heroes


Description: Out of costume, he wears a standard lab coat around with him everywhere instead of that jacket. He has it buttoned up fully and doesn’t ever seem to take it off. In costume, he wears that jacket with the left sleeve taken off and a single fingerless glove on his left hand. On a side note, he keeps extra fingerless left hand gloves in his pocket because they are prone to getting ripped.

Powers: Keith’s actual power is that he is able to program everything that is programmable as if it was a natural thing to him. His power makes programming second nature, and can also be extended to hacking. Normally that would put him at about D rank, but then there’s the robot arm.

One day (which will be explained in history), Keith got a robot arm. A bunch of stuff happened (which will be explained in history) and now he can use it as an extremely potent weapon. The arm is in fact a symbiotic life form which latched onto Keith because of his actual power.

The arm seems to run on a mysterious kind of energy which cannot be separated from the arm and can only be used by the arm itself. The energy can do all manner of things, only the minority of which were thought up by Keith as he programmed the arm.

The arm can be embedded with programs but Keith can only change three of them as the others have been locked down somehow.

He has currently loaded:

Laser.exe – The first successful program he loaded, Laser.exe shoots a constant laser from a selected fingertip. It can through even steel without much difficulty. The intensity of the laser can be adjusted to a point where it simply raises temperature. The laser is a very light blue in colour.

Super Blade Punch – The arm uses its energy to create a triangular blade like projection onto the fist. It can slice through things faster than the laser but cannot be adjusted and it’s only a melee weapon. Looks something like this: but the colour is the same as the laser. The super blade punch comes out from the top of his fist and rips up his fingerless glove.

GTFO protocol – The arm uses its energy to create a powerful hook-shot for Keith to utilize. The hook-shot can pull up to a ton of weight either backwards or forwards. The line extends up to 50 meters and is not affected by gravity. The hook-shot is also the same colour as the other programs and comes from the palm of his hand, which rips up the fingerless glove.

The arm also passively increases his speed and reflexes, can play video and music files and also acts as a kind of computer directly linked to his mind. With it, it’s as if his mind is a computer and the arm is a direct link to other devices. He can utilize this to code at an unparalleled rate as the speed is as fast as he can think.

Skills: Science, physics and genetics specifically, engineering, some martial arts

Rank: A because of potential (explained in history) in robot arm but actual ability is closer to C

He didn't really understand that either.

The relationship between him and the life-form was symbiotic in the sense that the arm took one of his limbs to keep itself alive and he could now use the limb to do superhuman things. Such as shooting lasers. He kind of felt that the arm had gotten the short end of the stick, the life-form fed off his useless left arm and Alto got to shoot lasers.

Besides the programming, Alto also tried to X-Ray it only to find some kind of energy was blocking the X-Rays. Further study of the energy led to the development of several of Alto’s programs. Alto also managed to find the maximum capacity of the energy and after some conversion and theoretical physics, he found that it would’ve been enough to blow up the sun if it was fully charged and he shot a laser at the sun. But, the energy wasn’t even up to 1% so the government ranked his power at A due to the potential.

Eventually Alto got researcher’s block and his interest in the study of the arm dried up. Going outside for the first time in a while, he suddenly developed a keen interest in testing the arm in the field.

Awakening of the Dragon Champions

Chapter 1: The Dragons Awaken.
”Arise champion.”

A voice spoke softly in Alto’s mind.

”Your destiny stirs,” It continued, ”And so do I.”

The voice was soft, but very deep and still; somehow it seemed harsh. Inviting and dangerous, the voice beckoned to him.

”Long have I slumbered, awaiting the moment to come.” It continued.

He could hear the edges of a long sleep in its voice, as if it was getting used to walking after being asleep for a long time. But he could feel the sleepiness creeping out of it, the voice was gaining power. The voice was awakening.

”I have been a part of you,” the voice said, ”Since the moment the very idea of your existence was conceived.”

What was the source of the voice? He couldn’t pinpoint it. When he tried to grab at it, it shied away from his hands, never ceasing to escape his grasp. The more he chased, the further it went away from him. Almost as if the Voice was a shadow. And he felt something else in it, something else he couldn’t pin down.

”I am the primeval Darkness, born of the God of Shadows; his ultimate creation and his ultimate pride.”

The Voice was more distinct now, the softness was slowly ebbing away, the Voice growing harsher still.

”I am Nuul.” It said suddenly, as if the speaker was right next to him. His eyes quickly darted open. He saw an alien landscape, spires spiralling endlessly into the air, pits descending infinitely into the ground and he saw him. He saw Nuul; a being swathed in misty shadows, indistinct under its shadowy mantle.

”Your fate draws closer.” He said. ”And with it, the Dark.”

Alto could hear his voice clearly now, he could see Nuul speak, and he could feel a hint of a power. He could feel a hint of the Dark. He felt as if it was behind him, but when he turned it turned with him. He moved and it moved with him. Again, it felt like chasing a shadow.

”Ah, you feel the shadow of my power,” Nuul continued, ”But you cannot grasp a shadow unless you devote yourself to the greater whole.”

As Nuul spoke, Alto couldn’t help but feel drawn by some invisible force. The shadows around him seemed somehow welcoming, as if open to accept any and all.

”Your future will be harsh, the other gods will see to that.

Alto could feel the truth in his words, as if he trusted Nuul enough to know that every word that he said was gospel. He found his mind telling him that what Nuul said was like the meaning of life, his mind told him that this was the most important thing he would ever hear.

”You will need power, vast power. Power beyond your wildest dreams, even to survive until your fated time. The Dark can give all that, and much, much more.”

He felt his mind swaying and body swaying to the words of Nuul. His voice had softened again, but now it was as if they had their own gravity.

”So?” the Dragon said. ”What are you waiting for?”

He phrased it as a question, but it felt like a subtle insult. What was he waiting for when power was right in front of his eyes, waiting to be grasped by the one it was destined for?

”Embrace your destiny, Alto Ganze. The Dragon said finally. ”Embrace the Dark.”

He could feel the power growing. It was far beyond a shadow now, it was like the darkness. It was drawing him in, he could feel what felt like gravity trying to pull him into the shadows. He was tempted, the power was meant to be his. Somehow he knew this, and he knew he would need it very soon.

But there was something holding him back from accepting immediately, something at the very core of his being… Something he had built up and cultivated over the course of his life. He felt the urge, and he let it take control.

”That’s got to be the most clichéd thing I’ve ever heard.” Alto said.

The dragon was obviously taken aback.

”…What?”

”I said, that was probably the most clichéd thing I’ve ever heard.” Alto replied.

Nuul thought for a moment, and Alto could see he was confused.

”Are you… insulting me?” Nuul said.

Alto thought for a little bit.

”Yeah. I guess I am.” He said with a shrug.

Nuul suddenly stood up, and he looked pretty angry by Alto’s standards.

”HOW DARE YOU?!?!” Nuul said, enraged by his words. ” I AM THE PRIMEVAL SHADOW! ALL OF THE DARK IS MINE TO COMMAND! YOU DARE INSULT ME?!” The shadows radiating from Nuul began to billow instead of ooze, and the gravity that previously drew Alto to Nuul’s words now reversed and he could feel himself being repelled.

Alto stood there, thinking of how to answer the Dragon.

”Yeah.” He replied.

”I WILL DESTROY YOU!” Nuul threatened, enraged. ”YOU WILL DIE IN THE INFINITE DARKNESS! MY POWER WILL SHATTER YOUR SOUL!”

”Hey, if you shatter my soul,” Alto started, ”And you’re a part of my soul, wouldn’t you die as well?”

”ARGHHHH!” The Dragon screamed in frustration.

Alto was quite amused. He knew he shouldn’t be having fun with this but still, he was that kind of person. But, even though he was in a dream he was pretty sure time was passing outside and today was the first day of a new school year. He didn’t want to be late, so he decided to speed things up a little bit.

”You really need to learn to take a joke, Nuul.”

”DON’T SAY MY NAME SO CASUALLY, HUMAN!” He shouted, still enraged.

”Whatever. Anyhow, this is getting a bit old and I don’t want to wake up late so I think I’ll be taking that power you’re offering.”

Alto extended his hand to the obviously still enraged Dragon. Nuul glared at him, intending to bore a hole in the annoying fool’s soul with his eyes. Nuul didn’t exactly have enough power for that but it’s not like anyone actually knew about that except for him. Still, he was really contemplating not giving Alto his power. He really didn’t like him much.
However, it’s not like he really had a choice in the matter because he was going to be there anyway and if Alto died he wouldn’t have a way to use his powers anyway.
Then he looked at Alto again. He had a really weird smile on and he was waggling his eyebrows at Nuul. His rage flared up again.

”FINE.” He said bitterly.

He really didn’t want to do this but he wasn’t going to get anything by talking to him so Nuul just gave him his power. The shadows around him coalesced into a book, the focus of Nuul’s power. The book opened, revealing a swirling portal of shadow.

”If you want my power, then… Then… Just use the damn book!” Nuul was tired of talking to him, and he really didn’t want to keep this going any longer than he had to.
Alto looked at the book with the swirling shadow vortex. It was a very large book, just smaller than his body. He didn’t really know what the Dragon meant by use the book but he’d assumed that he’d annoyed the Dragon enough to make him want to stop talking in his shadowy darkness mastermind voice.

”Okay.” Alto replied to him. ”See you around Nuul!” After saying that, he promptly jumped into the open book disappearing from Nuul’s shadow realm thing.
Nuul looked as Alto leapt into the portal.

”Ugh, just my luck. He used it properly.” Nuul said, still angry. ”Why did I HAVE to be stuck with such an annoying vessel?!” He asked himself bitterly.

Meanwhile, Alto woke up. His eyes opened, and he found himself in his bedroom. When he sat up, something slipped off of his bed. He looked at it and found a book. It was just like the book in the dream, except much smaller. The book in the dream had been about 5 feet by maybe 3 or 4 feet when it was closed, but this one was just 1 and a half feet by 1 foot. It was still as big as his torso so it was still pretty large.

He picked it up and tried to leaf through it, only to find that it wouldn’t budge.

Hmm. He thought.

As he pondered how to open it, he looked up at his clock.

Aw shoot! He thought. I’m almost late!

Quickly getting up from his bed, he rushed to get ready for a new school year.
