The Looks

The Legacy

Personality: Karaoke has an undying love for music. He loves it when other people share it and if they don't well... that's easily rectified. He is a high pitched, sassy and /charismatic/. on top of that, he is quite greedy - frequently using his power to distract people and steal their stuff. Due to this, as well as many stage shows, he has managed to become a millionaire.

History: Carey was born in detroit, to a power family who lived in an extremely rough area of the ghetto. His father was a street gangster and his mother was addicted to heroin. His childhood wasn't exactly a friendly one, as every time he went outside he risked being shot or mugged or kidnapped. His dad wanted his son to grow up and follow in his footsteps, becoming a gangster and maybe even the leader of the gang and Carey was all for that idea, it was all he'd ever known.

One day however, whenever he was walking home from 'school' he went an alternate route in order to avoid members of a rival gang. He found himself in a back ally, next to a bar called 'ToneDeath', and from the sounds of the laughs coming from within - it sounded like a fun place. So, Carey ducked in there in order to escape the gang members. It was amazing, the music, the people - and this thing. Karaoke. You could pick any song you wanted and just... sing it, infront of people. He didn't have the guts to try it himself so instead he just watched. But no longer could he merely sit by and watch - he had to join in. For the music!

When he stepped onto the stage all of the troubles of the ghetto left him. No longer was he afraid of being shot by gangsters or some equally greusome demise. His only concern was the music. He picked a song he'd heard people sing quite alot and as it turned out, he was pretty good. But he wanted more. He began praticing, and everytime he sang, his desire to become a gangster eroded. However, one day - his dad was told that his son had been skipping 'school'. But he still left the house every morning. So he decided to follow him.

When he walked into ToneDeath, he was... embarassed, shocked, apalled. His son, a little gangster in the making, was on the stage - belting out a pop classic. He walked straight up to the stage and grabbed his son's wrist. "You have shamed me!" he yelled, dragging him from the bar. "But pappy! I live for the funk!"

As soon as they were outside, his father brought a backhand across his face. "What're yo' even doin!" holding his cheek he shouted back. "I'm trying to embrace the MUSIC!" his father began storming off, but he didn't follow. Turning around. "Yo' lil' bitch you better get your ass over here - before I beat the hell outta you." "No!" "Yes!"

His father began approaching him, and was about to punch his son in the eye when he found himself stopping. A pleasant beat began filling the air, and his father looked around. But before he could do anything else, he found his lips parting. "No, No, No na no no, no na no no, no there's no limit!" his father was one of shock - he was singing. He and his son engaged in a fabulous duet, in the middle of a ghetto's back ally. They were both... ridiculed, honestly - but Carey wasn't. His father was mortified but Carey - he discovered that he had a metahuman ability. Before his father could do anything, he fled. Travelling across america for atleast a decade and a half, using song and dance to make ends meet. And he wasn't above abusing it for criminal methods. For the music...

The Powers

Power 1: Unauthorised, synchronised melody inducement; Karaoke's metahuman ability is the power to force people to sing. This can take many forms, be it a rap battle or a duet. When he does so, the people who he has used this power on learn the words instantly and synchronise with one another. Music also fills the room, to match the tune (but only if they lack the means to play it themselves) Those under the influence of this power are unable to stop until the song is done. Trying to do so will result in pain. Requires permission.

Weakness 1: This power doesn't effect those who are wearing protective ear gear.
Weakness 2: Once you finish a song, Karaoke cannot place you under the effect again for another 24 hours, meaning that once you finish the song, you can finish him!
Weakness 3: Outside sources of music can weaken the power, and if it's loud enough, break the spell!
