Personality: Harbinger is the definition of evil. There is no emotion in him what so ever. He feels that all living beings exist to bend to his will. He is constantly seeking to expand his empire and moves across the multi-verse searching for new races to add to his growing empire. He views humans as a race with great potential, but finds their morals ridiculous. He views morals as something born from religion and thus slows progress.

Staying on Harbinger's good side is also beneficial to your own health. In someways he almost views himself as a God and won't tolerate any criticism. He's been known to even kill his own minions for getting in his way or even for forgetting to address him as 'King' Harbinger or 'Lord' Harbinger.

Powers:
Mind of God-Harbinger comes from a very powerful race of psychics and telekinetics. Along with the cybernetic enhancements to his mind and body, Harbinger has become a dangerous force. With his powerful mind, he can nearly focus in on the fabric of space time. All of these lead to some very unique abilities.

1. Psychic-Harbinger's psychic powers are nearly unmatched. He can easily probe the minds of the weak willed to discover information. In battle he can use this to determine what his opponents next attack will be. There is a drawback to this though. Superhumans or other creatures with a high energy readings seem to be more resistant to this power. Entering their minds in combat requires him to remain perfectly still leaving him very vulnerable. His psychic power also enables him to transfer his power and consciousness into one of his ground troops. Since Harbinger spends most of his time aboard his ship, this allows him to fight from light years away without having to have his actual body present.
   
2. Telekinesis-With his telekinetic power, Harbinger can manipulate and move objects without ever having to touch them. He can split his concentration into several areas to do this to multiple objects. With the help of his cybernetic augmentation, Harbinger's telekinetic power is strong enough to focus in on the fabric of space time which leads to his most powerful technique.
   
3. Lord of Dark Energy-Harbinger's most powerful technique is the ability to manipulate, control, and form Dark Energy. With the control of Dark Energy, Harbinger can enhance his telekinetic damage to untold amounts making it even more combat effective. Harbinger never has to worry about running out of dark energy as 74% of each universe is made out of it. The only downside to using it, is that his telekinetic attacks can now be seen and can't instantly connect. Another words, he has created fast moving telekinetic projectiles that can curve around cover. Dark Energy grants Harbinger the following powers.
   
   
   
   • Cyclone-Harbinger launches a fast moving ball of dark energy that spins so fast that it nearly resembles a black hole. It's able to suck in surrounding enemies within a 5 meter radius and holds them there for 7 seconds until time runs out or they find a way to escape it.
     
   • Almighty Push-Harbinger launches a heavy dark energy blast to hurl opponents away. The area of affect is a 5 meter radius. It is most effective when an opponent is weightless at the time off impact.
     
   • Levitation Field-At first glance, the Levitation Field projectile looks the same as the Almighty Push projectile. However, this one actually can make opponents weightless for 5 seconds. Impact radius is 5 meters.
     
   • Smash Field-The same thing as Levitation Field except instead it makes targets heavy enough to smash them into the ground.
     
   • Detonation-Harbinger launches a wild and unstable looking projectile that is mainly used for targets already being affected by dark energy. When a target comes in contact with detonation and is being affected by dark energy, it causes an explosion with a greater force than being hit by his Almighty Push. Targets that are hit without being affected by dark energy receive even less damage than being hit with Almighty Push. Impact radius is 5 meters.

Strengths: Harbinger's greatest strength is that he can enter battle without ever having to throw a punch. Instead he can rip the environment around him apart with his mind and use it as a weapon to attack his enemies. It can be said that he is a master at the art of fighting without fighting. His ranged fighting powers enable him to keep his opponents at bay and always on their toes.

Weaknesses: Harbinger maybe one of the most powerful psychics of all time, but that does not make him invincible. Despite coming from a perfectly evolved race, Harbinger lacks the physical strength and speed of the super humans. Getting into close quarter combat would be deadly to him as there would not be enough room to launch projectiles and charge up offensive dark energy attacks.

Battle Ship:
The Hand of God- Harbinger's flagship and main base. It's not the biggest cruiser in his fleet, but it is the most powerful. Unlike most normal ships, this one was grown. It is a mix of organic and inorganic material. With this set up, the ship can actually heal itself at an accelerated rate when it has taken enough damage from the loss of shields. The Hand of God is also outfitted with a large defense cannon near the bottom of the ship. At first glance it appears to be firing out powerful lasers, but it is actually firing a mixture of molten iron and titanium with hydrogen and uranium. The cannon is fired off at a fraction of the speed of light. Most targets that aren't destroyed on impact are usually melted away.

Although it is a powerful planet conquering ship, it was not designed to fight small human sized targets. Harbinger has realized the danger that the super humans pose to his ship and has taken lengths to hide it from their sight in the Kuiper Belt of the solar system.

History:
The Origins Saga

Hundreds of trillions of years ago, there existed another universe similar to ours. Civilization started on an alternate Earth. Except for some minor differences, history was the same as ours. The Revolutionary War, Civil War, the assassination of Lincoln, the creation of the nuclear bomb, advancement in technology, etc. Over the next thousand years the human race expanded. Earth was no longer a sufficient to hold the population. It was then that the World government revealed the Terra-formation Bomb. It was a bomb that could be put on any planet or moon, close enough to the sun. This bomb would not destroy, but create. When the bomb went off it would remove any current atmosphere and replace it with one similar to Earth and transform harmful elements into water. In short, it would hostile worlds, habitable for people.

It took hundreds of years, but eventually Venus, Mars, and the moon of Jupiter, Europa, became habitable. Europa proved to be the most troublesome to populate due to Jupiter's high radiation output. It was almost impossible until the invention of radiation absorbers on the planet. They were power plants strategically placed to draw in Jupiter's radiation and give the planet heat and energy. This allowed humans to safely move about the planet without getting cancer. Eventually the need for exploration began to take root. It had already been proven time and time again that going beyond the speed of light was impossible. Without "FTL" travel, trying to explore the universe would be useless as it would take light years to reach other star systems.

Another break through in humanity happened. Trying to develop Faster Than Light travel was useless, but with the use of wormholes, humanity could explore the vastness of the galaxy and beyond in a short while. By tearing through into a wormhole, they could travel across billions of light years in what seemed to be a five minute flight. It wasn't long before they expanded further beyond the solar system. Another challenge awaited humanity on the frontier of space however. Humans were no alone in the universe. Humanity had met their new foes many times before. They had visited Earth many times before technology became advanced. Why they were studying humans was unknown, but for whatever reason, they had become hostile.

It was war throughout the Milky Way. The two species clashed for dominance over the galaxy. The unknown species was not interested in talks of peace and co-existence. After 400 hundred years of battle, the alien species was wiped out from existence. Humanity had won, but at a price. In order to win the war, democracy had died. The government of humanity had become a dictatorship with one ruler. His rule was fine at first, but like all men, he wanted more power. Using the technology found from the aliens, humanity once again made another leap in technology. Expansion out of the galaxy had begun. Earth was now the capital palace of the new empire.

During the expansion to other galaxies, countless wars broke out for the next millions of years. Some wars were to clear out hostile aliens, others were civil wars between humanity over what type of government to have, and others were just instigated for war profit. People thought back in the 20th century that people of the future would be a peaceful race. They were wrong. Humanity was just the same as ever. Except one thing was beginning to change. The human race was evolving. Their evolution was not physical however, it was a mental level. Humans were beginning to use more and more of their brain instead of just parts of it. This eventually lead to them becoming a race of psychics and telekinetic. The change was very slow though and almost not even noticeable. It was the new normal.

One billion years later, the expansion to the entire universe was complete. This new super race had completed what their ancestors had long sought to do. Civilization reached it's maximum potential in terms of growth and technology. It was not just humanity anymore though. Other races had joined the ranks too. It wasn't long before the entire Universe was united under a single government. With the use of Wormholes, it was easy to keep track of everything. There were still constant wars. No matter how much advancement there was, War never changed. The Universal War would change everything for the worse though.

Near the end of the Universal War, the evolved humans had come up with a plan to win the war and wipe out every other race that opposed them. The greatest minds in the Universe had come together to do what had never been done... cross over into the Multi-verse and pick a new Universe to live. This would be seen as retreating from the enemy, and the people had no intentions of retreating. Instead a Super Black Hole Bomb was created. In a sense it was a final "Screw You" to every other race. The government of humanity began to evacuate its people into the new universe. It took many years, but eventually they got almost all the humans out. Those that were left would have to be sacrificed. A small group of soldiers traveled to the center of the universe to deploy the Super Black Hole Bomb. Once it would go off, the bomb would begin to absorb all the dark energy around it and transform it all into gravitons. Then from there, the gravitons would continue to grow until there was enough gravity to become a black hole. It wouldn't stop there however, the black hole would continue to grow by feeding off of the dark energy of the universe until the black hole was the only thing in it.

It was the ultimate doomsday weapon. Once it was set off the soldiers evacuated to their new universe. The bomb quickly absorbed everything into the void until there was nothing left all. Though the advanced new humans would never see it, that black hole would eventually die, leaving a total empty void of absolutely nothing. It was the ultimate act of destruction. Now the new universe would become their new home. Their new mission was to scatter across the universe and rebuild. Unlike the previous universe, this one was devoid of any intelligent life except for themselves. Once again though, things were back to normal.

A new cycle would soon begin and would continue on and on countless times. They would expand, then fight amongst each other over who would rule, and afterward evacuate once the universe they were in was about to die. By this point in time. The people who were once called humans could now live for over 1000 years, looked liked they never aged, had become impervious to all diseases, grew to be psychics and telekinetic, all while retaining their old bodies from the long since passed 21st century.

The Rise of Harbinger Saga

It is unknown how many times the cycle had repeated itself. Historians were having trouble now of keeping track of the past. The past now consisted of trillions of years. It was around this cycle that Harbinger was born. Not much was known about who is parents were or where he came from. Something that people did not know was that Harbinger once had a family. He had a wife, a daughter, and a son. They were a devoted catholic family who lived on a small quiet planet. Harbinger was dedicated to his family. He knew without them that his life would not even be worth living. Their planet had remained free of war for over a hundred years. One day would change it all. The planet became a military tactical location during a war. Those that were on the planet were to be killed as they were deemed to be too much of a security risk.

They bombarded the planet killing nearly everyone. Harbinger lost everything that day. He escaped the planet, but had nothing. The thoughts of suicide ran through his head, but he was too much of a coward to even pull the trigger on himself. Instead he decided to live a high risk life as a mercenary. War was becoming a constant part of his life. He wanted to understand it so that he could understand why his family was taken from him. When he wasn't fighting, Harbinger was looking into history and studying the past of man. He then noticed something that no other, had noticed before. Wars were repeating themselves in a near perfect manner. No matter how far people would advance, war was always there just looming and waiting to start.

Harbinger then questioned everything. Had God turned his back on people or did he even exist. The system that had been created was no longer working, but no man would be able to stop it. One man could not take on the entire universe alone, but if Harbinger were to become God, then he knew he could break the system of war. If he could become God, then there was a chance he could bring back his lost family. When he decided this, the name Harbinger was now who he was. In order to achieve his goal, Harbinger would need to destroy the moral grounds of science that was set by man. He began to put together a team of outlaws, scientists, and politicians. Harbinger was a natural leader. Together with the outlaws, Harbinger would assault government bases to steal valuable technology that was illegal. His scientist would find a way to make use of the stolen tech. The politicians would gain ranks with in the government and would slowly intact laws that would eventually make it easy for Harbinger to become total overlord later.

Most of the technology they stole was just to enhance their brain power. This in turn gave Harbinger and his team an even greater intelligence along with increased psychic and telekinetic abilities. This technology was illegal due to moral reasons, but soon Harbinger was seeing things differently. Morals just slowed down his progress and that they were just something that was born from religion. Since he was going to become a god, there would be no reason any longer to follow morals. Eventually, one of the politicians that Harbinger had placed with in the government grew to a high enough level to the point where they could get highly classified files. There was one in particular that he wanted. Harbinger wanted the designs to the first and only Super Black Hole Bomb that was used in the very first Universal War.

Harbinger wasn't planning to use the bomb though. Instead he wanted to become it. Integrating the design into cybernetic enhancements, Harbinger would be able to focus in on the fabrics of space time and thus allow him to manipulate, control, and form dark energy while also increasing his telekinetic power. With that power, he would be able to make the universe bend to its knees and would never have to worry about rebellion as he could easily crush it with his power. Harbinger had his mole deliver the schematics to his scientist. They immediately got to work on infusing this power into Harbinger. Eventually they succeed and infused the power with in him. Harbinger was no one step closer to becoming God.

It wasn't long before Harbinger launched his single man assault against the capital. He was met with large resistance, but he easily disposed of them by ripping apart the environment and turning it into a weapon. He quickly made his demands to the people across the universe. Kneel before Harbinger or die. Slowly, but surely Harbinger began to conquer. Nothing was standing in his way. The universe was bending to his will. After a hundred years of fighting untold amounts of armies, the final war was over. Harbinger had won. The years were starting to take it's toll on Harbinger though. He was getting old. People rarely lasted a few years after they hit 1000. Harbinger was 1020. He quickly began working with the most brilliant minds across the universe and struck a deal with them. He wanted to become immortal and in exchange he would make them each kings.

They quickly got to work on how to preserve Harbinger. The only way though was to mix his DNA and genetic material with an organic metal. The process would be painful and at his age, the chances of survival would be low. Harbinger did not believe he could die. He survived countless battles and brought the universe to its knees. With this, he would rise to the throne of God. Harbinger awoke from the procedure. His body looked like it did in his prime. Immortality was his. The scientists were now expecting their payment in return. Harbinger lied, or least partially lied. He did make each one of them a king. King of Fools. He killed them each quickly. There would be only one King and that was Harbinger himself. His quest for power was not over yet though.

The Superhuman Saga

Several more universal cycles had gone by since Harbinger gained immortality. No one had dared to challenge him in many years. Once again it was time to move on to another universe. The stars were dieing which would mean the black hole era for this universe was coming. The galaxies began warping it's people into the next universe. The process was always long, but it needed to be done. Harbinger assembled his fleet of ships to prepare for the warp to the next universe. Once on the other side, Harbinger's computers instantly realized something. The universe that they crossed into was massive. It was about 100 times bigger than any universe before it. They wouldn't have to worry about looking for another universe anytime soon. In the mean time they could spread out across the universe and search for new life.

Harbinger eventually came across what looked like, Earth. According to the old history reports, his ancestors came from a similar planet. Harbinger was quite interested in the early human race. On several occasions, Harbinger would send scouts to monitor the humans and see what kind of progress they had made. Harbinger witnessed the growth of mankind. The Spartans, the Egyptians, the wars, and more. By looking back at the first records of history, similar events had also happened. Harbinger was becoming more fascinated with them. He would often have humans abducted for study, then he would wipe their mind clean and let them go. There was a reason he had an interest in them though.

Based off of studies. These humans had a dormant gene in them that his ancestors did not. It was called the Superhuman Gene. It just meant that potentially any person on that planet could develop powers if certain circumstances were present. What amazed Harbinger even more was the diversity of how the gene could develop. Based on environment and the subconscious of the individual, their powers could morph into nearly anything. To Harbinger, this would open up the realm of god to him. At this point in time Harbinger had forgotten why he wanted to become God. Now it was just for power.

Seeing as how the humans looked the same as his people, Harbinger sent down his troops to spy on the humans and monitor their progress in growth. His goal now is to wait for enough super humans to develop and then harvest them so that he can use their genetic material to increase his power. Currently, Harbinger resides in his ship, the Hand of God, out in the Kupier Belt safe from detection. Launching a nearly infinite legion of ships would be pointless as he needs to preserve all of the super human bodies. Wiping out Earth would just hinder his plans. Harbinger had given word that the Milky Way galaxy is off limits for any traffic and violation was punishable by death. He needed keep everything quiet. After watching the humans for centuries, humanity entered the 21st century. Enough super humans now populated the planet. It was time to begin the tests.

Hehe, "High life force". Karma's got none. He's undead.

lol I better re-word that then for all you undead out there. I wouldn't want to discriminate.

Lol.

Too strong, but you probably already knew that, no gravity control, sorry man.

It's cool. I'll try to think of some alternative. What if I powered it down to make it more like biotics in Mass Effect? I'd just have to find a way to originate it so I'm not totally ripping off the franchise.

Just no controlling the laws of physics.

Hmmm. Alright then. Back to the drawing board. Not sure if biotics count as messing with physics, but after I alter it, I'll let you be the judge.

You can use like Biotic push and stuff just no to the whole black holes and white holes, and manipulating gravity.

I see no problem, Approved.

The Harbinger is a sword from the original fable...

Who cares.

Harbinger is also the name of one of the main enemies in Mass Effect 2. Joseph is the name of a guy in the Bible. Do we really need to comment on the names of people's characters when it really means nothing in the long run? Technically he's a herald or omen for something else coming in the future, not a sword, not a Collector controlled by a race of sentient star-ships bent on galactic genocide. So why are you even commenting on this application with this stupidity?

Pointing out a fact that I found quite weird among popular culture.

That he named a character a word that happens to have been used as the name of a sword? That's stupid. Don't comment on an application unless you're giving some advice or saying something constructive.
