Thunder King Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Player Name: Thunder King Character Name: Voltage Power Level: 12 (177/189) Trade-Offs: None Unspent Power Points: 12 Progress To Silver Status: 36/60 (Bronze Status earned with Crimson Tiger) In Brief: Super smart electricity controller Alternate Identity: Thomas Morgan Identity: Secret Birthplace: Freedom City Occupation: Computer Tech/Student Affiliations: Fellow employees, classmates Family: Father James, mother Laura, brother Samuel Description: Age: 18 (DoB: April 9, 1993) Gender: Male Ethnicity: Caucasian Height: 5'11" Weight: 155 lbs. Eyes: Blue Hair: White (side effect of mutation) Voltage is nearly six feet tall and slim but fit. His face is sharp and somewhat hardened by isolation. His now-white hair is kept short in a neat if nondescript cut. His costume is all black. There are silver accents on each glove and on his boots that look like lightning. Across his chest streaks a silver lightning bolt. Power Descriptions: Voltage's electricity powers manifest as a silver color. When he teleports, his teleportation has an electric effect. If it's short range, the electricity flows to the spot he's teleporting to. If it's long range, it just vanishes. In both cases he reassembles from the energy at destination. History: His parents, James and Laura Morgan, lived in California where James was a researcher at a corporation. James was diagnosed with cancer, and after doing research discovered that the company was experimenting on it's employees illegally. James was treated for cancer successfully and they sued the company along with other employees. The company went under, and James and Laura moved to Freedom City. After moving to Freedom City, they had their first child, Thomas. He lived an ordinary life as an ordinary child until shortly before his 18th birthday, when he accidentally electrocuted himself trying to fix a computer. It was a severe shock, but put him in a coma for reasons doctors did not understand. The coma lasted only four days. On the fourth day, the nurses entered the room and discovered that the walls had been scorched with black marks all over the wall. Thomas was standing in the room, seemingly unharmed. It was at this point that he discovered his powers. Some time later, he constructed his costume and debuted as the new hero Voltage. In 2013, Voltage formally retired from heroics to focus on his career. He went to work for Katastroff and got some serious education under his belt. Within four years, he was Dr Thomas Morgan, three times over. He continued to work for Katastroff. In mid-2017, he received research funds and opened his own facility in an isolated location in the upper atmosphere. He was the sole researcher, and within a few weeks, he was in total isolation. He powered the facility and received deliveries of food, but after a while he broke contact off completely. He did not see a single, living human in person from June 2018 until March 5th, 2020. On March 5th, 2020, he voluntarily left his facility and closed it down. He had done as much as he could locked in a facility by himself, and he's decided to rejoin the world as a whole. He has, as well, decided to dust off his old costume and resume the identity of Voltage. Personality & Motivation: Voltage is a bit arrogant and cocky, but that's more from age than anything. He's not quite used to the mental affects of his new powers, so he has trouble expressing himself sometimes. He used to only be a bit bright, but his new genius is staggering to him. He reacts to strange situations by trying to take control. He's okay with following others so long as they have an idea of what to do. He cannot stand being talked down to and struggles to bite his tongue if anyone does so. He's far more likely to act than react. Still, his heart is in the right place, and he wants to be a hero to protect the world. He defers to more experienced heroes and authority figures out of respect, so long as they don't treat him like a child. He tries to handle every situation with maturity, logic and intelligence. Sometimes this works in his favor, other times it doesn't. He does not hesitate and uses his new-found intelligence to assess every situation as best he can. Powers & Tactics: Voltage is acutely aware of his strengths and limitations. He knows he hits the hardest from a range, and doesn't bother fighting up close and personal unless necessary. He retreats from melee whenever he can. He takes advantage of his ability to control electricity from any angle to hit people in unexpected ways. He uses his intellect and radio detection to plan fights out ahead of time, gaining any information on his foes that he can. This gives him the ability to assess foes with speed and efficiency. Complications: Big Brain, Small Head: Voltage's mind works like a supercomputer, incredibly complex and fast. However, even he can't keep up with his own mind sometimes and this can cause headaches, both literal and figurative. Family: He will not hesitate to defend his family I hate Crowds: Voltage avoid large groups of people as much as he can Isolation: Voltage is a few years behind in terms of pop culture and recent events Katastroffic Influence: Voltage is employed by a massive tech company, and they probably have both rivals and enemies.

Avenger Assembled Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Nice to have another cyberkinetic at Claremont. Fix the notation on his armored costume, please. Please give the travel distances for his Teleport. Note that Stun is Touch Range by default, so he's way undercapped there. Consider the Action flaw.
