Tokugawa Mushirou

Noticing that Colton chose to have Glalie attack Scizor, Mushirou ordered Volcarona to, "Use: Rage Powder!" making Volcarona the center of attention, forcing enemy pokemon into attacking it instead of Scizor. This combined with Volcarona's ability, Flame Body, meant that any attacks that made contact with Volcarona had a chance (30%) of causing the attacker to catch fire. "A Good ninja knows how to use misdirection, even if it is to draw attention to himself," Mushirou announced with satisfaction. Though he did not pick Volcarona knowing what his opponents would choose, he could see that they were at a type-disadvantage, and he kept his eyes trained on them to see how they would deal with it. If they persevered, he would praise them, if they broke, he would offer encouragement.

Pitfalls (Original Superhero RP)

Interference

Basics

Name (& pronunciation): Eileen Fang
Nicknames/Aliases: Interference
Date of Birth (& age): November 11, 2011 (33)
Place of Birth: Oakland, California, NALOC
Gender: Female

Physical Description

Height: 4'11"
Weight: 95 lbs
Detailed Physical Description:

Eileen is not petite, but is certainly unassuming, and easily overlooked. She does not have heroic proportions by any means, and is a bit on the short side with a small frame. She usually wears her dark, shoulder-blade-length hair in a small ponytail, and wears glasses for purely cosmetic reasons.

Typical Attire/Clothing:

Eileen dresses vary casually, usually sufficing with a T-shirt and a skirt, since she will almost always have a white lab coat draped over the ensemble. She is so casual in fact, that she even often wears flip-flops and sandals in the lab (Gasp! A safety violation!) but since she is usually master of her own lab, there is no one to punish her.

Hero Equipment:

Power Suit

Interference wears a caped, white enamel androgynous power suit that is easily mistaken for a robot. It looks something like the following image.

But the head has a single red camera in the center like the following image.

• Power Suit: Provides minor protection, mainly used to focus or augment her sound and light abilities, gives her control of her 'locusts'.
• Surveillance Swarm: a swarm of microrobot drones in the form of beetles/locusts used mainly for spying and eavesdropping, though Eileen can also use them offensively by laying them around in intricate patterns that amplify the harmonics of an area, augmenting her powers.
• Blast Bludgeon: a long, baseball bat-like triangular rod that functions like a tuning fork. Eileen uses this to triangulate the harmonic frequencies of objects she strikes with it. After several strikes, she is able to determine the vibrational frequency that is most destructive to the particular material she is striking. She already knows what frequency works best for concrete and bone-through-flesh.

Personality/Attributes

Personality/Attitude:

Eileen is soft-spoken and big-sisterly, often displaying cute, ditzy mannerisms. She can get excited when talking about technology or research, but is quite subdued most of the time. Yet her slow, quiet speech is accompanied with a certain gravity. She is very nurturing to her teammates, motherly as she takes care of their needs while also pushing them to challenge themselves and improve. Her quietness, at times, seems forlorn and determined as she stares off into some brave new future that she knows will one day come.

On the other hand, her personality slightly changes when she dons her power armor. Half of her powers being based off sound, Eileen understands the value of being loud, and often utilizes shock and awe tactics. In combat, she can be exacting, precise, and relentless. Control defines her, whether that is mastery over herself or the battlefield. She is determined to push onward and use the most optimum method to get the job done.

Skills/Talents:
Likes:

• When a plan falls together
• Soothing sights and sounds
• Space and Science
• People

Dislikes:

• Bright light
• Loud sound
• People[Emotional individuals, or individuals who cannot otherwise be reasoned with

Fears:

• The world tearing itself apart
• Chaos

Guiding Life Philosophy: Machiavellian Humanist Utilitarianism

Background

Origin Story:

Eileen was born to a poor immigrant Chinese family in Oakland, California. Living in a low-income household, Eileen was taught to obey the established peace and order, to not cause trouble, and to strive for self-improvement.

At a young age, Eileen demonstrated a knack for complex mathematics and, by extension, physics. Through study and hard work, Eileen saw that she could live a perfectly peaceful and successful life. Complacently and blindly, Eileen powered through her education, gaining multiple honors and advanced degrees. Though praised as a prodigy, Eileen remained humble and reserved. She eventually found herself moving to NAC and working in government laboratories, developing cutting-edge technology for the various failed projects of DIM, with whom she agreed with philosophically. Hosts were too dangerous, and order must be maintained. What she disagreed with, however, was DIM's methods. But what could she do? She was just a researcher.

One day, she woke up, her head filled with white noise, and her vision blurry, her skin sensitive. Her senses were competing for computing space in her brain. She tried to hide from all light sources, she tried to muffle all sound, but it helped minimally. Realizing that she might be going through an Imperium infection, she called her work and explained the symptoms. They came and collected her, dumping her, as requested, into a sensory deprivation chamber, that she had requested also be RF insulated. In the silent darkness, she was finally able to gather her thoughts. Her Imperium had made her skin able to sense two wave phenomena: light and sound, visible and invisible, audible and inaudible. With the help of her workplace, she slowly trained her brain to filter what she was normally supposed to be able to see and hear as a human, from the bombardment of white noise and RF static that a human was not supposed to be able to see or hear. Then she trained herself to tune in to that noise and static, to learn how to identify and interpret. She made herself a willing guinea pig to DIM, so long as they respected her rights within reason. But more than anything, her newly gained ability to detect both sonic and photonic harmonics accelerated her research into crystalline optronics, pushing the boundaries of robotics.

Now, as one of the few hosts working within DIM, Eileen plans to revitalize the department and bring order to this host-torn world. She is also slowly beginning to realize that in addition to sensing light and sound, she also has the ability to emit it, but she's not telling anyone.

Imperium

Imperium Code: YF66613
Imperium Name: Sight and Sound Skin
Power Name: Harmonic Detection
Power Description:

Eileen has the ability to emit, detect, and absorb phenomena that exhibit mathematical wave behavior: sound and light. She uses technology to augment her abilities, relying on harmonics. The light and sound is emitted from her body (skin). Being inherently able to solve complex mathematical wave equations, she is blessed with a very high intelligence.

• Sound Wave Emission/Reception: Eileen can emit as well as absorb/hear audible sound as well as sound outside the audible range, allowing her to mimic voices, make herself completely silent, send out shockwaves, fire disorienting beams of ultrasound, produce the brown note, have superhearing, tell when people are lying, etc.
• EM Wave Emission/Reception: Eileen can emit and absorb/see visible light as well as light outside the visible spectrum allowing her to fire microwaves, create flashbangs, camouflage, have x-ray vision, night-vision, etc.

Pitfall Name:Eyes and Ears
Pitfall Description:

Any high intensity light (such as a laser, powerful flashlight, or the Sun) pointed at Eileen's exposed skin floods her visual cortex and is temporarily blinding and deafening. The same is true if she is exposed to an unfiltered blast of high intensity sound (or if some pinpoint ultrasound was pointed at her skin, like a dog whistle or pest repellent) the same effect would occur. This is why she keeps her lab operating in mostly low-light conditions and behaves like a vampire when walking outside. Also why she wears a protective layer of armor.

Embryon

Appearance (civilian):

Civilian Appearance

Appearance (costume):

Hero Appearance

Name: Tiresias, "Terry" or "Theresa" (formerly Annie Fang and Jibril Warsame)

Quote:

"We were a mistake, an accident. But we have come to terms with our fate. Now, we do what only we can do."

Alias: Embryon

Age: 23 (Annie), 21 (Jibril)

Gender: Intersex

Occupation: Homeless

Abilities:

• Alien form -
  Tiresias can transform into their alien form in a matter of seconds, gaining a protective layer of muscle and bone tissue, minor healing factor, toxin and Earth disease immunity, heightened animal senses, improved reflexes and motor control, and increased stamina and power, as well as a tail.
• Genetically-impressionable stem cells -
  Embryon can inject stem cells into its patients which have the ability to convert carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen in the air into biomass rapidly, about 1 pound of biomass per second. What the stem cells lack in the form of salts and minerals, like calcium, would need to be supplemented, either in the form of multivitamins, or from Embryon's own body, which Embryon would need to replenish through its diet. In this way, Embryon can easily heal most soft-tissue wounds given enough time, but mending or replacing bone requires more effort. Once grown, the stem cells lose all traces of their former alien identity, genetic or otherwise, becoming indistinguishable from the patient's own cells.
• Temporary genetic mimicry -
  Embryon can temporarily gain non-human genetic traits by consuming biomass from the specified non-human. It takes about a day to genetically analyze the sample, and the desired trait(s) can linger for about a day. Embryon mostly uses this to acquire alternate forms of energy consumption: photosynthesis from plants, or the ability to consume sewage for sustenance from fecal microbes. Using this ability to grow an 'animal limb', while possible, is highly impractical and involves too many factors, so Embryon almost never does this.

Weaknesses:

• Embryon cannot 'cure' diseases, especially if they are of genetic origin, since Embryon's cells will merely mimic the already flawed genetics of the host.
• Embryon also cannot help a patient fight off infections since Embryon has no control over the workings of the patient's immune system.
• Embryon is essentially 25% stronger and faster than a human at peak-physical condition, and has no ranged attacks under normal conditions.
• Many of Embryon's abilities rely on biological processes, which generate massive quantities of heat, resulting in fever-like symptoms. This makes Embryon particularly susceptible to flame or heat attacks, though Embryon is surprisingly not resistant to cold either.

Equipment:

• Duffel bag of various nutritional supplements and extra clothes

Bio:

Residents of Maximum City, Annie Fang and Jibril Warsame were girlfriend and boyfriend. Annie and Jibril both attended MCU (Maximum City University, not Marvel Cinematic Universe), and though Jibril was ready to get a job after graduating with his Bachelors, Annie wanted to continue into grad school. Upon receiving her acceptance to MCU's graduate program, Jibril took Annie out on a celebratory date, where they were met with disaster. Driving along on the outskirts of the city, a meteor fell into their, crashing it and sending it up in flames. The strange meteor housed a strange, dying alien entity that sought to keep itself alive by fusing with the nearest organic material. The entity, unfortunately, didn't realize that it had collected two separate lifeforms in its gambit to survive, fusing into a single entity. Annie and Jibril are now fused into a single, androgynous being, their minds and the mind of the alien entity combined as one. Realizing that they could no longer return to their normal lives, they took on a new identity, and continued to live in the shadows of Maximum City, driven to use their curse for the betterment of others, an act which usually involved raiding hospitals and providing miraculous limb recovery or spinal cord injury recovery.

Relationships:

• Mr. and Mrs. Fang (no longer in contact)
• Mr. and Mrs. Warsame (no longer in contact)
• Various friends from their collective past life (no longer in contact)

@Stern Algorithm

Sort of like alien nurse? I like it!

Approved. Though I will be keeping an eye on the biomass ability in the IC.

@Dynamo Frokane

Thanks!

Which biomass ability do you mean? The healing, or the mimicry? As for the mimicry, don't worry, I'm a biologist, so overtly BS biology pisses me off. Embryon will not be learning camouflage because it's too complicated (involving specialized skin cells, and the neural pathways to control them). Basically, Embryon prefers mimicking metabolic pathways (ability to construct or deconstruct specific biochemicals) rather than anything with an overtly structural, physical, or behavioral function. So maybe Embryon can produce neurotoxins, but King Cobras and Japanese Pufferfish are not easily accessible to the homeless, and Embryon would consider creation of a neurotoxin as 'excessive lethal force'.

@Lord Orgasmo You want to go first, or should I?

XD

@Euphonium

OK, so both Colton and Harvey have made their attacks. Do you determine if the attacks connect (as well as other negative status effects)? Or should Judas and Mushirou make their moves?

I decided to delete this post because it probably comes off as salty and unproductive.

New idea, like Clayface/Venom, but they're the medic/healer
