POWER DESCRIPTION -
Description of Abilities:
User can create, shape and manipulate electricity, a form of energy resulting from the movement of charged particles (such as electrons or protons), allowing control over electric fields, all charge carriers (Ions, Electrons, Protons, and Positrons), electronics, and electromagnetic forces.
Applications:

• electrokinetic surfing/flight: User controls electricity in a way that increases their ability to move and/or maneuver either by granting them abilities they otherwise lack or allowing them to ignore normally needed equipment. Users of this ability can fly, glide and/or levitate through manipulation of electricity. They can fly at varying speeds, levitate, or propel themselves without taking flight, including enhanced jumping by a short burst of flight.
• electricity attacks/constructs: The user can release/use electricity to attacks of various shapes and/or intensities, either projected, used as a part of melee attacks, etc. The user can turn electricity into tools, objects, weapons and other items, create semi-living constructs and/or create structures/buildings of varying permanence. The user who has mastered this ability can use it for almost any situation, creating anything they need.
• electricity absorbtion: Users can absorb electricity, while removing it from the source, into their body and use it in various ways, gaining some form of advantage, either by enhancing themselves, gaining the drained power, using it as power source etc., either temporarily or permanently.

Techniques:

• electrical healing: The user can heal themselves or others by using electricity by absorbing the electrons and using them to stimulate molecules, renewing damaged cells. Electricity can also provide energy to reduce fatigue, allowing optimal health, as well as restarting the heart and repair any brain damage.
• electrical enhanced condition:The user can enhance their physical and mental attributes using electricity to stimulate the nerves. They are able to jump extraordinary distances due to the increase in strength or react faster due to the mental amplification.

Limitations:

• electrokenetic surfing/flight: Weak against Flight negation.
• electricity attacks/construct: Users will be exhausted when too much energy is used. In most cases, constructs will return back into their original state if the user becomes unconscious, leaves the proximity, or otherwise loses contact/control of the item.
• electricity absorbtion: Is limited to how much she can absorb. Can only absorb through touch not far distances,
• electrical healing: User may not be able to heal injuries if they are too severe. Control of electrons to correctly heal the injury is vital, to prevent overload and accidentally killing the recipient.

POWER DESCRIPTION -

Description of Abilities:
Mikeal can create, shape and manipulate illusions, causing targets to see, hear, touch, smell and/or taste things which do not actually exist or cause them to perceive things differently from what they truly are.

Applications:
- Illusion Generation: Mikael can generate three-dimensional illusions of people or objects that appear real to his targets.
- Illusive Appearance: Mikael can alter their appearance by the use of illusions, appearing as any person he wants.
- Sensory Inducement: Mikael can induce sensory effects, causing a short-term change in how the target sees, hears, feels, smells, or tastes their environment.

Techniques:
- Illusory Combat: Mikael combines illusions with combat, making them very unpredictable and hard to keep track of, and can pull off surprise attacks more easily.
- Illusion Interaction: Mikael can interact with illusions, whether they are mental, hallucinations, or normal illusions, interacting with them as if they were actually real.
Limitations:
- Illusion Generation: Mikael’s generated illusions are based on sight and sound, his illusions will dissipate upon physical interaction. He can only use this power on people or places he has direct sight and/or contact with.
- Illusive Appearance: Mikael cannot perform any other illusive action while in an altered appearance.

PERSONA -

Likes: Music | Rain | Challenges

Dislikes: Quiet | Idleness | Waiting | Being Wrong

Personality:
Take caution when challenging Mikeal to pretty much anything. Even if that challenge falls outside his immediate abilities, Mikeal will look that person in the eyes, smirk and say: “Watch me.” He’ll probably come up with some elaborate scheme to complete the task or spend a massive amount of time doing such. All that matters to him is that he completed his task. Mikael is impulsive that way, sometimes he will take action without really thinking things through. Oddly enough, he does great when thinking outside the box, but, when he’s inside, one might wonder if he thinks at all. What he needs is a focus, a goal. If Mikael has a target, he’ll move mountains to hit it, literally. Without focus, Mikael’s world falls idle, and he struggles to find peace in stillness. He absolutely can not stand quiet places. Without the din of the outside world, the noise on the inside gets exponentially louder. It drives him nuts. Which is why he listens to music so often, to drown out the “noise.” That being said, Mikael loves social places. Conversating is a bit like a natural remedy for his curse. Mikael is a talker and he often doesn’t want conversations to end. But he notices when people have had enough. There’s one thing Mikael absolutely despises, and that’s waiting. Sitting and waiting for anything might possibly be the only challenge Mikael won’t complete. Anticipating an outcome is a concept Mikael has a hard time wrapping his head around. If he feels he’s been idle too long, Mikael will just up and find something more worth his time.

BACKGROUND -



"Watch Me...”



Method of Operation:
Mikael usually only operates during the night and early morning. He doesn’t wear a mask for lack of practical reasons. He usually dons a dark blue trench coat accompanied by various casual clothing. Mikael likes to work comfortably. He uses an old police scanner to wait for a crime. Mikael is remorseless for brutal criminals, sometimes he just ends up killing them. Most petty ones though, he leaves for the cops.

Their Story:
Mikael Stenbeck was born in Astoria, Oregon in 1981. Astoria is a small city along the banks of the Columbia River. Raised by a single father, Mikael had a rather unremarkable childhood. Mikael grew up dreading school and staying out late with friends like many kids his age. Often times his father, Emil, would take him out hunting. During middle school, however, he had his first epileptic seizure while presenting a project in one of his classes. Mikael hit his head hard on the corner of a desk, which made his seizure worse. Mikael was quickly rushed to the hospital after the episode and prescribed medication for his condition. Ever since then, silence became Mikael’s worst nightmare. He’s needed to keep his world in a constant state of mild commotion. Music became his best friend.

Time went on, and Mikael learned to cope with his condition. That was until he crossed paths with the local bullies at his high school. Mikael found two of the school’s more infamous kids picking on one of his friends. This friend, in particular, was confined to a wheelchair. The bullies eventually pushed Mikael’s friend to the ground and Mikael had seen enough. He confronted the bullies only to be met by a punch to the face and kick to the head. This trauma triggered another seizure and unconsciousness.

Hours later, Mikael woke up in a hospital room with his dad sitting next to him. Mikael then had a long conversation with his dad, saying how he was sorry and that he’ll be more careful. Then, just as he saw his dad leave the room, his dad re-entered, this time from the opposite direction. He said he was worried sick and that he rushed there from work. Mikael was immensely confused, saying that he had just seen him. From that on Mikael began to see and hear things that weren’t actually there. Mikael was too scared to tell anyone for fear of being sent to another hospital, so, he kept his delusions to himself.

Mikael’s dad decided he wanted his son to be able to protect himself, so he took him to a gym where wrestling classes were being hosted. However, this wasn’t traditional wrestling, it was a style with roots from ancient times, a nordic wrestling style known as Glima. Mikael’s dad attended classes when he was growing up in Sweden, and he knew the instructor. Mikael was unsure at first but eventually warmed up to it. By the end of his junior year in high school, he became pretty skillful in the art. He even started to enjoy it. Unrefined, but with much potential.

Soon enough, Mikael ran into the local bullies again. This time, however, Mikael had a trick up his sleeve. He caught one of the bullies by surprise as Mikael grappled him by the neck and slammed the boy into the pavement. The other was quick to react and landed a punch on the side of Mikael's head. As he regained his bearings, and his vision cleared Mikael suddenly came face to face with himself. He stood toe to toe with another person who looked exactly like him. It was him. The student’s around him were just as surprised as he was. Mikael reached out to touch the apparition but as his fingers touched his jacket he faded away into nothing. The schoolyard erupted into screams, everyone was convinced they had just seen a ghost.

After hearing the news of the incident, Emil suspected his son was suffering from injury-induced hallucinations from his earlier trauma. Doctors then prescribed antipsychotics to help with the hallucinations. The medicine, however, proved to only worsen Mikael’s situation. During the night of his first encounter with the medication, Mikael’s entire world fell silent, and suddenly he was sure he went deaf. The silence intensified sending ringing through his skull. However, to Emil’s horror, he found Mikael rolling about the living room floor screaming. Surrounding the boy in a tight circular formation, were seven other duplicates of his son. They stood over him with blank faces. Mikael’s Emil froze in fear, he couldn’t believe his own eyes. But a quick glance at his son, still screaming in agony, empowered his action. He sprinted for his son, reaching out to push the apparitions away. As Emil grazed them they disappeared into thin air only to reappear in different places around the room. They started to chant in unison and pointed towards Emil’s frightened face. “You did this…” they said. Emil then cradled a writhing Mikael in his arms. Emil squeezed tightly as hours past. Soon, Mikael’s pain faded, along with the hallucinations. Mikael never touched that medication again.

Years past, and Mikael learned to cope with his affliction. Soon, he was out on his own. Education was never really Mikael’s strong suit so he got involved with more practical uses for his time. Mikael joined the United States Army in 2001. Furthering his training, he became a Ranger in 2003. Mikael went on to serve for 10 years. During this time he saw 2 four-year tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Mikael got his fair share of action along with the rest of his comrades. He picked up a few new skills such as marksmanship and increased physicality. It’s also where he first saw what it is to hate and how to kill. Mikael remembers his first. Mikael and his team were tasked with clearing a compound. Mikael went to breach a room alone. As he kicked in the door he was confronted by a bearded man around his age. The man seemed scared and confused. A brief moment passed as the two stared at one another waiting for one to make a move. Then, the man suddenly lunged for a handgun on the dresser and Mikael frantically squeezed the trigger on his rifle. Two shots thundered through the room and the man collapsed to the floor. Mikael’s squadmates called out to him after they heard the shots. Beside the man he had just killed, Mikael saw himself looming over the body. The illusion spoke to him. “He would’ve done the same, consider yourself lucky…” His squadmates called out again. Mikael turned his head. “I’m here, I’m alright” Mikael called back. As he turned back to the man, the illusion had vanished. That man was the first of many. 14 to be exact, Mikael counted each of them and could recount in detail each one.

After his army days, Mikael struggled to find a decent job and ended up moving to Crystalline City after his father passed away. Mikael worked construction mostly but he didn’t really enjoy his life. He missed the rush of being in a firefight; he missed the danger. His life became dull, and worst of all, quiet. Mikael became depressed, and in search of purpose in life.

One Friday night, he saw a news broadcast about a serial killer who was on the loose in his neighborhood. The reporter stated that the killer was extremely elusive. It was pretty standard for his neighborhood, Mikael didn’t exactly live in the uptown. That particular night, Mikael had an old army buddy over at his place, Eddie. They having a beer together. In a stupor, Eddie laughed and said, “Well the cops aren’t much use are they?” He stood up from the couch to get another beer. “I guess it’s up to us now huh?” Mikael chuckled and took another sip from his beer. The evening dragged on into a long night of drinking. Eventually, they ran out of alcohol. Mikael decided to go get more from the nearby convenience store. As he left the apartment and walked down the street, he began to hear something peculiar. It sounded like voices. Mikael stopped and listened closely. He started to hear it clearly now, the sounds of an argument, which gradually turned into screaming. Mikael turned his head and cautiously made his way towards the sounds of distress. He eventually came up to alleyway. Mikael peered around the corner and found a hooded man holding his hands around a woman’s throat. Mikael then revealed himself and called out to the assailant. The hooded man turned to him and laughed, “You looking to die too?” The man drew a switchblade and approached Mikael. “What are you gonna do?” he said angrily “I dare you to try something, you ain’t gonna do nothing!” As he drew closer, Mikael’s voice could be heard from behind the man. “Watch me,” Mikael said. The criminal turned and saw the same man standing behind him. Confused he whirled back to Mikael only to see the illusionist lunge at him. Mikael stepped forward pressing his knee against the back of the ruffian’s left leg. Using his body weight, Mikael flipped the man over his leg and smashed him into the pavement. The man was disarmed and dazed in the process. He saw Mikael standing over him. Before he could another word out Mikael threw a kick into his temple knocking the man out cold. As the adrenaline soothed and his mood calmed, Mikael realized he felt better than he had in a long time. He’d finally found that rush of excitement he thought he’d lost. Mikael looked up to see himself again standing in front of him. “I think you could get used to this…”
