Orbit

Jerry Knight

AKA Orbit

Race: Human

Hair: Blond

Eyes: Hazel

Height: 5’10’’

Weight: 220

Blood Type: B+

Costume: Hmmmm the pic isn't showing in the preview, guess somebody will have to tell me how to fix that later, in the meantime methinks I'm going to finish posting and goto bed.

In addition he wears a bandanna in the same style and face paint

Personality: He tends to be rather driven while pursuing a goal. Analytical under pressure. A bit old fashioned in regards to women. Dislikes heights. Likable in non-stress environments. Somewhat ironic sense of humor.

History: Joined the Navy at 17 and was trained as a Navy Seal. In an oversea operation that is still classified Jerry’s team ran into a metahuman while maneuvering through enemy territory. Someone decided to eliminate him (not knowing the it was a metahuman) and the resulting firestorm that enveloped Jerry’s team was devastating.

Time seems to slow as a wave of fire washes over my team; I turn to run and know I have no time. I’m running (with the inside of my head screaming I’m going to die over and over) it’s getting hotter and hotter; my lungs are killing me and it feels like I’m dehydrating by the second. Wait is it cooler now? Glancing over my shoulder I slow then stop. The fire is still blazing but seems to have stopped expanding. My question is how in the world have I gotten here? I must be several miles from where I started. Somewhere along my run it started raining and I’m just now noticing. Data pours into my head about things moving in my area and how to redirect it. Sinking to the ground, while holding my hands to my head, pain explodes from within. Mercifully the darkness comes for me and the world fades into a tiny speck--then disappears.

The sensory overload of gaining a whole new sense knocked Jerry out for several hours. Learning to control his power took him out of commission for almost two years. It took such focus at first to not redirect all the energy around him that almost all of his attention and time was spent towards that effect. He received a medical discharge shortly after his fiasco of a mission failed. His superiors still have not received a satisfactory report due to his incapacitation at the time and the subsequent long delay before he was able to not concentrate on his power and be coherent in his speech.

Recently he has decided that he needs to get with life. To pay the bills Jerry has started working from home manufacturing various crafts. His speed and ability allow him to maintain a nice standard of living while leaving him plenty of free time. Jerry has also decided that he wants to do things that matter. Unfortunately the current climate is not conducive to him volunteering to help with his power due to the Purge going on. Recent thoughts have given him an idea or two of things he could do and probably not be noticed....

Part of the drive to get on with his life came while taking a walk around town. A villain busted into the bank he was walking near. The metahuman had high strength and durability putting him beyond the scope of the local law enforcement.

“Why am I doing this?” comes the thought unbidden to his mind. Okay I can use this bandanna I just bought for a mask and if I move quickly no one should get a good look at me. “Well I guess I’m going to need a new costume for tonight--sigh”. Glancing around the corner I see that the big bad villain is playing with the police. “This is it” I think then moving at full speed I charge towards the guy. As I get closer I realize this guy is big and by big I mean big. Easily seven ft tall and probably weight 3-400 pounds. I’m glad I don’t believe in fighting fair. Before he is able to toss the police car he has just lifted I blur into him. Suddenly the scene changes as I’m stopped where he used to be and he is flying upwards from my palm strike. Knowing he was only going to be out of the fight momentarily I start thinking of what I should do next. Then I hear “stop” but I know that means run and so I do. Looking back at the receding figure I see that it wasn’t a police officer which probably means it was one of those Dominus Agents. With that thought in mind another joined it “time to see if I can run any faster” and for a minute it almost seemed as if I did.

The paper the next day talked about the villain being sent into Orbit and as the media grabbed ahold of the story to talk about rogue metahumans the name that was given to describe me was Orbit--not bad, I kinda like it.

Powers:

1) Super Speed

2) Increased Durability which allows for him to run at the speeds he does

3) Controlling Kinetic Energy (Redirection) This power is more effective and accurate the closer to Jerry the object/person he is attempting to redirect is.

4) Enhanced Sense: Kinetic Energy This power allows Jerry to intuitively know the kinetic energy in his area and how to manipulate it to move something where he wants it

5) While not a super power per se his Fighting Style is enhanced beyond human capability because he incorporates his power into his style.

Since this wasn't posted with (WIP) or any other indicators, I'm going to assume it's done. For images, the codes you need are

Two things before I can approve this

1. How old is he?

2. on the banned powers list, it says energetic force manipulation is banned and the way you're describing his power, it seems to fit the bill. If you mean he fires concussive blasts or something else, it would be better to reword it as such. Otherwise, you're gonna have to change that my friend.

Okay well hmmmm,
Apparently after reading the banned power list multiple times I either misread or misunderstood so might as well get rid of this character. Thanks for pointing it out and I'll put another back story up once I think of one that doesn't violate the rules, enjoy.

Thank you, Malladryn. I apologize for the inconvenience.
