Johnny Slick

Hailing from a world similar to that of the Top Ten comic series ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_10_(comics) ) Slick never made much of his life, or thought much of himself.

0 · 217 views · located in Outside the Southwest Corner of Wing City

a character in “The Multiverse”, as played by Gabriel_Whist

Description

Face: Slick is a moderately attractive man, with strong, sharp features, worsened, perhaps, by his unwashed, and unkempt nature. His hair is short, and greasy, standing in a stiff, natural, faux-hawk, and he has a matching, and similarly scruffy beard, both the color of rusted metal, a deep reddish brown. His eyes are a fallow brown, and peer out with a sharp intensity from beneath his eyebrows.

Body: Slick is in decent shape, not fat, but not muscular either, save for his arms and chest, which are well muscled, as he loves to "work his guns". This leaves him looking slightly emaciated, as his thinner frame allows his muscles and bones to show beneath the surface of his skin. He has a few scars and tattoos, scattered across his body, but none of them are usually visible.

Clothing: As do most people oh his universe, Slick wears a costume much of the time. His consists of oversized brown combat boots, with a pair of ragged camo cargo pants tucked into them. Fastening these pants around his waist is his "utility belt", a thick canvas belt with pouches of varying size sewn on all around, held shut with an assortment of zippers, drawstrings, and random buttons. Tucked into his pants, and beneath the belt is a loose fitting, and ragged long sleeve green shirt, with a sleeveless hoodie, worn open, on top of that. Fraying, fingerless, grey gloves, a camo backpack, and a grey domino mask complete his ensemble.

Personality

Johnny Slick is exactly what his name implies, slick. He has a smooth and charismatic demeanor, able to win over most with his charms. He lives his life with an easy, and laid back lifestyle, and his ease at making friends allows him to skate through life without much difficulty. However, beneath his carefree, friendly, and easygoing mannerisms is a much darker and more troubled individual. His past has hardened him, and Slick has difficulty letting people in, causing him to be lonely and depressed, despite the fact that he is often surrounded by a random crowd of "friends".

Equipment

EQUIPMENT:

-Utility Belt/Backpack: His belt and backpack contain many useful supplies, or at least what he finds to be useful. Among these supplies are; an assortment of knives, including 2 mid sized switchblades, a small combat knife, and a butterfly knife. A grappling hook gun, with extra ropes and hooks. A USP .45, with extra mags. An assortment of small explosives. A handful of lighters. Lock picking tools and instruments. A pair of binoculars, including a night vision mode. Lots, and lots, and lots of drugs, and drug paraphernalia.


POWERS:

-Subconscious Genius: Slick is smart, but no genius. He has common sense, and an above average level of intelligence, but is not incredibly book smart. However, he naturally, and subconsciously utilizes 90% of his brain, allowing him what he refers to as "a way of knowing things". What this translates to in reality, is that his subconscious constantly runs math equations, causing him to see tangential arcs, and be able to see how actions will influence actions, both in the immediate, and in a domino effect. It also allows him to exactly measure the amount of force, momentum, etc... of things, and to precisely control the exact amount of force he uses, and the exact angles, which makes him capable of seemingly impossible feats. For example, Slick can "see" a large car barreling down the road at 5 miles over the speed limit, and see how it is going to hit a pothole, how that will pop the tire, and cause the car to flip, and kill a slew of pedestrians. He can also, simultaneously, see how to prevent this, and "see" how grabbing a pizza vendors metal pizza tray, and tossing it over the pothole will prevent this, as well as utilize the exact force and angle necessary to complete this.

-Kinetic Energy Manipulation: Slick is capable of absorbing, channeling, redirecting, and even potentiating kinetic energy. This is primarily used to enhance his own speed and strength, to cause objects to vibrate so fast that they explode, or disintegrate, depending upon the stability of the matter, and to dull the force of other objects. For example, he could absorb the kinetic energy from the car in the above instance to slow it, and then channel it into the car's tires, vibrating them to the point they pop, and into his own strength to bring it to a complete stop, as it hits the ground and grinds to a halt.

History

Slick grew up in Newtopia, the vast, sprawling, urban metropolis that covers the vast majority of what was once The United States of America, in a time approximately 100 years ahead of our own. His father was a drunken bum, constantly wasted, often yelling, and frequently beating his family, which, with his super strength was quite a serious matter. However, due to his own powers, Slick was able to defend himself and his mother fairly well when he learned to control them, which he was forced to do at a young age. When Slick was 13, his father died, his liver finally gave out, and he literally drank himself to death. At this point, Slick's life began to turn around, his mother found a better job, and was happier, leading to a better life and lifestyle for them both. When he was 15, he saw a horrible car accident about to happen, and without thinking, he everted it, through the use of his Subconscious Genius, guiding him to use his Kinetic Energy Manipulation in the proper manner to avert any loss of life. A freelance superhero, an illegal vigilante, in a world where the powered police deal with powered crime, The Commander, witnessed this action and brought him on board as his sidekick. These were the best years of his life. His mother was happy, he had a strong father figure, who was everything his father hadn't been. Under the guise of the Commando Kid, Slick fought crime with The Commander for 3 years.

At this point, Slick's life once again changed, this time for the worse. He and The Commander tried to stop a gang of super-powered thugs from robbing a bank, little did they know the infamous super villain, Morningstar, was behind the operation. This brought in large numbers of police, and villains, and in the resulting chaos, Morningstar slipped away. The Commander chased after him, slick following not far behind,, and came around a corner to find that there were three police officers there, blocking off Morningstar's escape route. Slick saw what was about to happen, he saw the tangential lines sprawling out, and where they would lead, he saw how to stop it, but he wasn't able to, for within a split second it all came true. As they rounded the corner, one of the police, Officer Artillery, believed them, as unregistered vigilantes, to be working with Morningstar and unleashed a furious salvo upon the both of them, so that, as Slick came around the corner he simultaneously saw what was about to happen and how to stop it, with no time to do so. Right before his eyes his mentor, and father figure, was cut down by the hail of bullets.

After that, Slick lost faith in himself. He had been unable to prevent the loss of his mentor, he felt like he was useless, that he was not cut out to be a superhero, and retired. He retreated into the happy facade he put on as a young child, the same mask he had learned to hide behind when his father was still alive. Now, at the age of 26, he is a heavy drug user, and a drug dealer. He has had many run ins with the police, without many consequences, due to his charisma, and the few police who know of his past. Indeed, he has a friendly rapport with most of the police, and they know him so well by now they don't even try to book him anymore. This, combined with his general charisma, has lead to many believing his name, Johnny Slick, is actually his "hero identity", and that his power is superhuman charisma.

So begins...
