Name: Arthur B. Rite
Codename: Arthur goes by Aerchon, the name of the time wurm, but the public knows him as "The Oracle of Death"
City of Operation: Cleveland, Ohio
Appearance:To be added.
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Superpowers:
Arthur can passively see 5 seconds into the future, giving him time to react to things that will occur around him.
Time of Death: This is what Arthur calls his ability to see the exact moments when non-caught die. Using this ability can be strenuous, so he doesn't use it as often as he used to.
Visions: Every once in a while, he is given random snippets of the future. This ability has only activated twice previously. The first showed Arthur when he would die if he stayed as a mortician, causing him to quit. The second time showed him the Cleveland incident, when all of those heroes died. After getting some publicity as an accurate teller of death, he simply said "Goodbye, heroes" on the local news. Arthur did this for fun, simply because making people wonder seemed just as fun as making them despair.
Aerchon, the time wurm: Once Arthur started gaining his powers, his consciousness ascended and linked to what is essentially a 5th dimensional being, a creature that slithers through the time stream, eating bits of time itself. Aerchon can latch onto certain points in time, most notably points in which people die, allowing Arthur to see these points. The time wurm can't stand the taste of the death of the caught, and goes out of his way to avoid them. The visions that Aerchon creates are a bit of an anomaly, more likely to be a result of the white rain than Aerchon's own power. Think of the relationship between these two as a sort of symbiosis. Aerchon grants Arthur power, and Arthur protects Aerchon. Aerchon only needed to latch onto a mortal after the white rain, as if he, a 5th dimensional creature, was also caught in the rain. Oh, and the two can communicate.
Skills/ Talents:
- Given that he used to a con artist, Arthur is a grade A liar.
- Death does not phase someone like Arthur, rather, he is quite fond of the dead, since they don't talk back.
- Arthur may not be cat-like, but he has rather good reflexes and stamina, making good use of those 5 seconds.
- Staying calm in most situation is a no-brainer, given the whole 5 seconds thing.
Equipment:
-Pistol: not sure what kind just yet, but having one on him is a no-brainer.
I might add more
Weaknesses: Arthur is not physically very powerful, having to outlast his opponents, rather than fight with fists.
Psyche: Most people mean nothing to Arthur, as they are little more than reserves of money to him. Arthur sees them all as inferior, believing that he is better than most to all of them. There have been people Arthur liked, though they are all currently dead, most from suicide. Arthur is fine with killing people, but prefers to outsmart them, talk with them, and get what he needs from them. Aerchon was the first thing Arthur has considered a friend in 10 years.
