Work In Progress!!!

Name : Roger
Serial Number : J0114 or JOLLY - This number represents the subjects position in the 'Absolution' process and is branded on his neck where his shoulder and throat meet.

Race : 'Recycled' Human - Under the council of the 'Church of Epiphany' select humans have been chosen to undergo 'absolution'. This process removes a portion of the brain that filters baser instincts. Normally, this portion prevents instincts from activating inappropriately. The removal of the bridge separates the two hemisphere's of the brain, causing the individual to become more susceptible to influence. Some unintentional effects stemmed from this process garnishing an evolved control over the subjects intentions. This effectively turns intention into action.

Gender : Male

Age : 21

Appearance : Roger stands at 5'10" and weighs 118 lbs, he has a very lean, athletic build from the countless hours he spent running food and munitions for the 'Pyrat's Guild'. Dark brown curly hair falls just above his cerulean eyes. He regularly cuts, shaves and shapes his own hair with the precision of a dull machete scrapping against his scalp and a fractured piece of silver nitrate soaked glass as his beautitian's salon. His five o'clock shadow and leathered skin give him all the sex appeal of a cardboard box.

His right arm has been amputated just below the shoulder thanks to an unfortunate accident, the tissue surrounding the stump has been stapled shut with industrial strength metal barbs leaving the area to look scarred. While his right arm is well mangled, his left seems to have made up the difference. His complete reliance on his off hand has rewarded him with a finely tuned weapon, complete with well defined musculature and heavily calloused knuckles.

Attire : 'Jolly' Roger wears matching black cargo pants and a ribbed undershirt, over which is draped a black leather-wrapped poncho that conceals a short chain mail covering to provide minor chest protection for his vitals. A single bandolier is wrapped along his waist-line and is strung just above his shortened gun holster.

* New !!! With the discovery of his Ghost Arm ability, Roger has taken to wearing a four foot crimson sleeve made of silk affixed to his right shoulder. The sleeve is fastened in place with two belts one that clamps the sleeve to the remainder of his right arm, and one that keeps on his shoulder.

Personality : Life in Mirror City isn't a place for a child to grow up, witnessing your own family members cannibalizing and murdering your neighbors turns one's disposition sour. From constantly scavenging for food to hiding in the underground waterways, Roger has adapted a more sinister approach to life. He suffers from insomnia, dementia, and a heavy feeling of inadequacy after the death of his parents at his own hands. He takes a shoot first and ask questions later approach to most critical situations, while taking a stoic sarcastic approach to most non-threatening situations. 'Jolly' Roger tends to specialize in guerilla tactics in battle, blasting at close range then ducking behind cover to reload.


Weapon :

Sawn-off Shotgun - A standard break open double barrel shotgun sporting a strong wooden stock and sturdy metal chamber. Fires two buck shot blasts at a time with a short effective range.

- Reload Procedure is slow due to recent unforeseen circumstances. Roger has to holster his weapon, break it open to expel the spent cartridges, retrieve two more shells and reload them into the weapon. This typically takes around 10-15 seconds, considerably longer than most normal reload times. NOTE : He can also get a little creative with this process. I won't spoil how but...you'll see.

Bladed Chain - As a backup for the long reload process 'Jolly' Roger wears a 6 foot chain tipped with a sharp dagger from his neck. Wielding it like a whip, Roger will flick his body and even kick at the bladed chain to send it soaring to meet its mark. He tends to keep it wrapped clockwise around his neck when not in use.

Abilities :

* New !!! Divergence - The power of Divergence relies of life force, dispatching the bodies energy into one place where it stimulates muscles, empowers tissue and regenerates at a cellular level. In normal circumstances, this would be considered an involuntary phenomenon. However, with the restructuring of the neural bridge that controls the inhibitors that either prohibit or allow intentions, Roger has been gifted almost psychic control over this energy. This allows him to increase physical output from 1/10th of an increase over his entire body to up to 9/10ths in his limbs or abdomen.

Recently, he has discovered a method of simultaneously increasing multiple (up to four) parts at a time distributing energy in varying amounts amongst the separate parts.

Since everything occurs at the speed of thought, his only limitations to this would be the steady decrease of life force should he get injured and the speed of which a thought passes through the nervous system. Which would still be almost instantaneous. It expends no energy for him to use it, as it is energy that he controls.

Ghost Arm - The area around where 'Jolly' Roger's arm used to be seems to still feel as if its whole. Noticed first when Roger thought he felt a strange tickle from a spot several inches in front of himself. Roger has learned to divert his life force into the empty area where his arm used to be causing any inanimate object it comes in contact with to assimilate into a make-shift mock up of his old arm. The strength of the object is determined by the amount of life force diverted to his missing arm.

Psychic spool - By touching an object, Roger can leave an imprint of himself on the object that lasts for five minutes, this allows him to divert energy into the imprint and operate minor telekinetic control over it, in an area directly proportional to his own body mass (at maximum diversion).

Feel free to comment.

I love how you shaped this character, giving him both a personality and life.

Plus, most people tend to instil near god-like powers in their characters, thinking it might facilitate easier battling.. But I love how you limit his actions and thus challenging yourself when RPing him. I would love to see him in a battle.

Right on! Glad people seem to appreciate him. I'm sure you'll get to see him fight somewhere though I don't promise it to be pretty XD

In any case thanks for saying so!
