"You know, I once used to be a physicist. Those days are long gone, though." Name: Xavier Carter Age: Assumed to be 23. Gender: Male Ethnicity: Human, with some Australian/Canadian mixed with a bit of Asian. Appearance Raven black hair. He has glasses, which sometimes crack and repair themselves. Said to be like that when his glasses were cracked in his broken dimension. His eyes can change from Brown to Purple, when using his Psionics. Personality Xavier is a intelligent individual, since he is a physicist. He is also a avid reader of books, having a penchant for history and any new knowledge of science. A cool and friendly individual, even though he may be a bit exasperated with some much more... 'colourful' people. Abilities: [spoiler]Cyphis -Reality shift: Due to a certain event that caused his soul to be corrupted, he can become one with the dimensional plane, phasing himself out of reality and rendering himself invulnerable to any damage and attacks. It can also make him phase through basically everything, such as walls and other things. Lasts for 10 seconds (2 Posts), restores in half a minute (6 Posts). -Rush: Because of the fact that his body can phase in and out of reality, he can use it to move at certain distances at the blink of an eye. Restores in 10 seconds per use (2 Posts) -Core corruption: Any soul based attacks against him will result in failure and harmful injuries in the attacker's expense. Psionics [i]Focus pool - [u]200[/u] Maximum His abilities has gotten much stronger, thanks to some studies. However, they now require a energy of sorts, called 'focus'. Depending on the situation (PVP, PvE), he can either start with full focus or no focus at all. In order to gain focus, he must achieve incapacitation of his opponents or if he hits much more capable enemies, either with his abilities or his Psi Blades. (Incapacitating small fry: 10 Focus) (Hitting a tough opponent (PvP): 5 Focus)[/i] -Volt: Psionic attack that hits multiple targets, depending on how many it hits. Requires 5 Focus for each unit hit. -Terrorise: Attempt to panic the enemy, but not always effective against higher-willed units. Requires 10 Focus (PvE), 50 for higher-willed targets (PvP) -Summon Pillar: Raise a pillar of pure Psionic energy that acts as full cover. Requires 20 Focus for each pillar raised. -Ghost: Used to summon a duplicate of the user, either from a fallen humanoid or just simply from thin air. Requires 30 from a corpse, 50 from thin air. Can only summon one duplicate at a time, and they can only take a certain amount of hits until they degenerate. -Enhance: Strengthen the power of the user's own weapons or someone else's, making them hit thrice as hard. Requires 25 Focus. Lasts for half a minute. -Arc wave: Cut through materials at a distance using the Psionic blades by creating a ripple of energy. Requires 20 Focus. -Ionic storm: Powerful attack that summons lightning within a few yards, shocking every enemy in proximity. Requires 75 Focus. -Regenerate: Heal any wounds, as long as it isn't severe. Focus usage varies. For example, a large cut or gash requires 30 Focus, and a single pistol bullet requires 5.[/spoiler] Equipment: [spoiler]Clothing He wears a unzipped black jacket with dark purple accents, a white v-neck shirt underneath. On his legs are similarly coloured cargo jeans and a pair of purple sneakers with black soles. Basically, clothing that makes him look like any ordinary person. Shields Basically, a barrier that acts like several armour platings protecting various spots. It covers six main areas: Head, Torso and the individual arms and legs. They'll be able to take a certain amount of 5.56 rifle cartridges and few plasma shots, but anything that is as powerful as a rocket can break the armour, but it also absorbs the blast. Takes a minute or two to repair shields, and several minutes to regenerate broken ones.

The first is firing in short bursts, and the second is a powerful charged shot. Battery packs are used as 'ammunition' for the weapon, and has capabilities to melt through plated armour or several cubic metres of concrete with a charged shot. Standard bursts hit as hard as a magnetically powered rifle. [url=https://67.media.tumblr.com/c879aa79a92f115c67b16b1c333e91bd/tumblr_mzf1cm8FCG1qdkeiao1_1280.jpg]B&W Ghosts[/url] Twin revolvers that shoot .44 magnum rounds. Has two kinds of bullets for different targets. One is hollow point for fleshy targets, the other is armour-piercing for metallic targets. Magnetic Boltcaster A special type of crossbow that shoots superheated, magnetically fired bolts. Not a conventional weapon by any means, as the projectile can cook someone from the inside out, giving them a slow and agonising death. Psi Blades In it's deactivated form, they come as wrist bracers hidden underneath his jacket. When activated, they come out as angular, protruding blades from above the back of the hand. They are capable of slicing through power armour if swung hard enough, and serve as a means to fill up the Focus pool. When activated, the user is unable to use any other types of weaponry, but is provided a significant speed boost. Plus, they cannot be disabled by any means (EMPs, for example). Poison claw A special kind of pistol. Shoots acid that can melt through all kinds of armour, even ceramic. Large blade at the front for close and personal encounters. Oblivion A rifle that fires Antimatter crystals. When enough crystals are gathered on a single enemy or object, it'll do a 'supercombine' effect, generating a small gravity field for a short time. And it could rip a thing apart if it disperses. Electrical Crowbar A good blunt weapon, for smashing heads in. Modified so that it heavily conducts electricity with anything. Handle is insulated for safety. Tools N/A[/spoiler] Bio: [spoiler]Memory fragment 1: INCIDENT HYPER Xavier Carter. Like some, he wasn't born a mercenary, fighter, or whatever you call them. Instead, he was pushed into the lifestyle he has now. You could say he was a... Conscript, of sorts. Before all that, he was a scientist, and a bit of a child prodigy too. Right when he was eighteen, and right when everything went crashing down in his dimension, literally. November 19th, 2015. Him and his colleagues found a anomalous artefact while going on one of their trips. They've created a machine that was devoted to finding out what this transparent fragment was about. Turns out that it was a part of a object from another dimension, and they immediately went to the fact that they could create an portal to another world. Then again, when you try to mess with reality, everything goes wrong. One of his friends, Vinnie, seemed to have this look on his face when he found himself staring at the machine. Like he was listening to something really important, or was mesmerised by it. Xavier noticed this, and tried to stop him. But Vinnie was too drawn in for him to notice. [quote]X: ...Vinnie? V: ... X: Vinnie, don't touch that machine! V: This potential... I could... X: The hell are you doing? You need to sto-[/quote] Then poor little Vinnie disappeared into static. What happened to him, I dunno. Maybe what was left to him was spread out across various different realms. Anyway, that's not important. Xavier and the others soon after found their dimension's coordinates very close to another suddenly, and they were on a rapid collision course. They didn't see it, but they felt it when their whole planet rumbled. Then for a split-second, polygonal particles started to lift from the ground into the sky. Then everything went dark from there.[/spoiler]
