Codename: Red
Power: Aura Manipulation
Abilities:
- Aura Projection and Manipulation - This ability allows the user to create or project a visible aura and manipulate its shape, form, density, and strength. It allows the user to grab any amount or type of mass with their aura and manipulate its location, crush it, or tear it apart depending on the strength of the user. It can be used to grant the user limited flight, create a barrier, or be used like telekinesis.
- Self Enhancement - This ability allows the user to enhance their physical form, fitness, and abilities with their aura. It allows the user to enhance their body to peak human condition or higher thus giving them the upperhand in combat and other situations. This ability can increase the users strength, durability, toughness, stamina, and endurance but is not limited to these things.
- "Bleeding" Aura - This ability allows the user to continue using their powers even though their body and mind is already over taxed and weak. This ability embodies the concept of powers working like a muscle where they can only be used for so long before the user runs out of energy and strength. This ability would be used only when the user absolutely has to because it can damage the users mind and body if used for an extended period of time.
- Mixed Martial Arts - He's not big on killing so he uses a variety and mixture of several martial arts, using non-lethal takedowns and pressure points to disarm and immobilize enemies. *cough cough* No killing, just beating the living hoohah out of his opponents until they either submit become incapable of fighting back.
I've been sitting on this design for a while now (since May). No real reason save for trying to work out the story behind it and the world/universe this character and related characters will exist in and all those jazzy details. But basically, here's the idea:
So there is a thing called Non Newtonian Fluids which are fluids that change viscosities based on the stress or pressure they experience. This was taken and turned into armor of sorts in real life. According to a wikipedia article, "Some of the earliest research in this area was performed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Delaware in 2003." In 2015, a functional non newtonian fluid was developed that could reportedly stop bullets better than kevlar! One of the involved scientist even claimed that the fluid stopped the bullets so well that the wearer could feel virtually nothing when the bullet made contact! That's honestly awesome. So after reading about all this (I had the idea earlier in the summer and did the research assuming it wasn't an original idea and sure enough it wasn't) I figured why not make an entire suit of armor solely out of kevlar, non newtonian fluid armor (or liquid armor), and carbon fiber plating in areas where flexibility isn't an issue. This concept would theoretically allow the suit to retain the majority of it's flexibility while being able to protect the wearer from most melee and ballistic attacks. However, this suit may struggle to prevent slower piercing attacks in the areas that aren't reinforced by carbon fiber. At least that's just my speculation and skepticism. Other than that and the massive hole in the top of the helmet that we'll ignore for stylistic reasons, I think this suit would be absolutely perfect for a character like mine which would most likely make a bad habit of tanking attacks from opponents.
With the nerding/geeking out of the way, now onto the rest of the stoofs to be discussed here. I'm hecking proud of this suit as well as the anatomy behind it. I feel like my style has come a long way and so has the design for this character. I mean literally just compare it to the last updated design for this particular iteration of the character. One detail I'm not too particularly fond of but felt it worked with the suit was the white areas of the gloves. I really wanted to keep the middle and ring finger white and the thumb, index, and pinky finger red but it just didn't work with this design. Oh well, is no biggie. Something I did take away was the escrima sticks. I figured having the powers was enough so poof. And lastly, I updated the powers. I figured the emotion related stoofs with the aura might be a little op so I ixnayed all of that. So basically it's just fancy telekinesis with the added ability of self enhancement. Kablooie, Idea posted!
Thanks for looking!
