Chalcon Crunch

OOC: Edited the thing to make the dead zone an effect of a gestalt of psychics going mad and killing everything.

OOC: OK, edited profile.Real Name: Ori
Alias:
 None, as of yet.Appearance: A tall young man, with a handsome face, very lean, to the point of seeming malnourished at times. His shirt is a tattered old white tee, with faded letters on it. The only letters that are legible are ORI, before they fade out. His pants are the same way, white and tattered. He has no shoes. His hair and eyes are brown, and he appears to be growing a light stubble. The most abnormal feature about Ori is his gloves, if they can be called that. Massive, and composed of an unknown metal (It’s obviously not a conventional metal, but Ori won’t let anyone touch them out of fear), they are giant gauntlets inscribed with black lines that are sunken into the metal. When Ori activates his power, the lines and his eyes glow teal.Power:
 Ori possesses a type of psychic powerset. For some reason, his abilties manifest themselves through his hands - part of these powers is the ability to form psychokinetic limbs to push and throw things. An upper limit to their strength has not been observed, though this is because Ori refuses to test their limits, mostly out of fear.Instead of being able to utilize telepathy, Ori is able to release a psychic field of varying size that links together the minds of everyone under its influence. Memories, thoughts, emotions, and perceptions are able to be fed along psychic "channels" that interconnect the various minds, allowing information to be exchanged among the people under its influence. Ori has little to no control over the field's properties once he has established it, apart from being able to pinpoint specific minds and glean information from them. There is no limit to the number of people that can be connected; in fact, the more people that are connected to Ori's mind, the greater the range. The psychic backlash of having too many people freely interchanging mental information can begin to take its toll on the persons linked to the field, however, which can cause it to weaken.This power is not without its dangers. By freely opening up dozens of minds, Ori's psychic field can become a superhighway for telepaths, who can use the psychic channels connecting the minds to amplify their own powers and bypass the usual hastles of entering a target's mind and sifting through the data inside. The psychic field also lessens a person's resistance to psychic persuasion, making it much simpler to gain control of a person's mind.Despite this, Ori still possesses the ability to shut down the field when he wishes to. This ability is tied to his gloves - without them, his powers are uncontrolable and the field is impossible to shut down. This can have serious consequences on everyone involved. The longer the field is left intact without Ori in control, the more interconnected the minds involved become. This can have a range of effects, from rendering some catatonic to outright killing others. Without a guiding force, the field also allows psychics nearly free reign over the collective minds.Allegiance: Solo Neutral at introduction.Area: It is unknown where Ori is actually from, but he was discovered in a “Dead zone” caused by what appears to be a maddened gestalt created by Ori's mind-link in Hungary. In the area, what appears to be a superhuman holding area and testing zone was discovered, and it is believed that Ori escaped from there.Bio: A newsflash, of the “Dead Zone,” a small area in Hungary where all living things within just died all at once. A team of heroes was dispatched to study the zone, but began dying the second they entered the field. The psychic of the group managed to warn others about what was happening before dying himself. A second group soon came, armed with the knowledge of the nature of the zone, to hear a young man screaming in pain, on top of a building undulating and warping with psychic force. The group’s psychic discovered the boy, but had to enter the zone to reach him, subjecting herself to the field’s effects. Recognizing the power of the gloves by the boy, both of which had fallen off, she used the last of her strength to telekinetically put the gloves on the boy, stopping the field at the cost of her life. The young man also fell, blood pouring from his nose. The remaining heroes, not wanting their compatriots’ sacrifices to be in vain, took the young man, bringing him to the League’s headquarters in New York after a long trip. His story starts as he is brought there, and begins to wake up…

I sing at Weill Recital Hall on December 5th. :3

You are entirely wrong. But seriously, Kabuto was RIDDLED with plotholes. That tier list is based on story quality, not personal preference.

OOC: Even if he does overcome the fear, he still would have the sense not to attempt something like the mind-bomb, which nearly killed him like it did to everyone else around him. He needs to work with others if he wants to use his powers in a useful way. Plus, the fact that he doesn't have control over who forms the psychic link with him presents an interesting possibility as to what will happen if a hero and a villain both do so at the same time.

OOC: Hmm... It's not instant, but it happens very quickly. It causes a kind of brain death in people, but it's not automatic, and it can be fixed by a skilled psychic. They don't die from the field, they die from not breathing. And fear of being a monster isn't a good limit? Fear of causing MORE death? He's a kid. It has to be very traumatizing.

OOC: Happy birthday! EDIT: OK, happy barely belated birthday. What if, as a limit, he has a definite range limit on the mental bomb?

OOC: No, he can't control anyone with the field. Whoever uses him does so. He's the tool. I edited the mental bomb to only occur when his gloves are off and he can't control his powers properly, and the gloves are basically bolted onto him.

OOC: Edit made. His weakness makes sense in comparison with his powers, and there are plenty of other psychics. I also removed the single-glove power.

Yes, those are my personal opinions. But having seen every rider series multiple times, and having written essays about their cultural effects, I think I am qualified to sperg. But yes Kiva Emperor Form Figuarts is GLORIOUS

Shame on you, Aaron. Torchwood is the fantastic spin-off of Who that stars CAPTAIN JACK HARKNESS.

HOLD ON. Kiva is NOT the pinnacle of ANYTHING. The designs are the only really good thing about the series. IXA is OK, and a far better rider then... HIM. I HATE Wataru. He gets no real development, spams Emperor Form, and ARGH THE STORY JUST MAKES NO SENSE. It's got more plot holes than Kabuto, and THAT is saying something. Agito and Kuuga, and Faiz Movie are basically god tier.W is Best Tier, Fourze is shaping up for it.Hibiki First Half and Blade are Great Tier.OOO, Ryuki and Faiz are Mid-Tier.Kabuto and Den-O are Low Tier.Kiva, Decade, and Hibiki Second Half are RAGE TIER. And that is truth.

OOC: Hey, mind if I restart, join back in? I had a character idea I'd been writing for a long while, and was planning to start back up sooner, but then I saw the forum was down. I have a whole (tiiiiiiiny) story bible for him written up. I know he seems overpower, but I'm confident that his physical, mental, and metaphysical disadvantages balance him. Real Name: Ori

Massive, and composed of an unknown metal (It’s obviously not a conventional metal, but Ori won’t let anyone touch them out of fear), they are giant gauntlets inscribed with black lines that are sunken into the metal, and they appear to be bonded to his wrist, more like shackles than proper gloves. When Ori activates his power, the lines and his eyes glow teal. Power:
 Ori is one of the most powerful psychics ever encountered, period. His abilities manifest in his hands, and align themselves most with altering memory and perception, but he is able to form psychokinetic limbs to push and throw things, and an upper limit to their strength has not been observed, though this is because Ori refuses to test this, mostly out of fear. When his full power is activated, one of two things happens. The first thing is that Ori releases a psychic field of varying size, enveloping all living things within that field. All things in this field have their perceptions and senses completely under the control of the field. However, this can only be used when Ori’s mind is in sync with another; i.e.: telepathically connected. A more simple way of explaining this is that Ori can be considered a tool when this power is used, or a vehicle. The other person in the connection is the pilot, controlling the field’s properties, and what the beings within it experience. There is no limit to the number of people that can be connected; in fact, the more people that are connected to Ori’s mind, the greater the range. This does unfortunately occasionally cause conflicts between “pilots” about what the field will project, and can weaken it. However, when Ori attempts this when no one is connected, the second thing happens, something truly horrible: The Mental Bomb. This effect only occurs when Ori's gloves are off. The field expands as it would with a pilot, but its effect causes people to experience absolute nothingness. Everything in the field dies due to believing that they tooare nothing, and therefore never lived. Psychics have resistance to this, but they too fall unless someone can connect to Ori’s mind. For Ori, this is always at least near-fatal, and severely damages his body. The psychic powers also activate when Ori’s gloves fall off. When using the powers “non-gloved,” Ori has far less control over his abilities. This dependance on others for Ori's full powers renders him incredibly succeptible to psychic control and possession as well. Allegiance: Solo Neutral at introduction.
