The Legacy

Personality:

Chase tends to put himself in harm's way just to save someone else, even if it's a stranger. He acts strongly upon his moral compass, doing what he thinks is right and generally not caring about what the law deems right and wrong. He's too proud of his powers, which can cause preventable problems, but if he knows someone else is more powerful or on par with him, he straightens up real fast.

History:

Chase was a single child who had little interaction between his other family members, due to his parents not making an effort to keep in contact, besides holiday with the Grandparents. He had his fair share of problems, but nothing that was astronomical. He would eventually be reminded of this whenever things seemed bad, and found solace in the fact.

Both of his parents were successful in their fields, his Mother being a biologist and his Father being a engineer. Needless to say, homework was never a problem. Both found extreme fascination with their child when they learned he had the meta-gene. Nothing extreme, he was just always quick to heal. A large scab that would normally take a week or two to fully heal only took a day, and he never developed scars. His Mother in particular found great interest in this and isolated the gene difference between his and that of an average person's that caused it.

When he was 17, his Father faced an ordeal at work. If he didn't provide something for the university he worked at soon, they would fire him and replace his position with someone else more qualified. Every night for the next month, he brought his work home with him every night. It became loud in the living room, so his wife told him to either do it in the basement or not at all. Just when his work was bearing fruit, Chase came downstairs to tell him that dinner was ready. It was unfortunate timing as when the machine activated, he ended up getting struck by the ray that came from it.

He disappeared, becoming sound for the first time. Both of his parents were terrified and furious with each other, paying little attention to the loud sound that was following them. After an hour had passed, Chase finally returned to his normal state, completely trashing the kitchen. Once both of his parents had calmed down, they were over-joyous, his Father continuously apologizing despite being told it was alright.

Over the next year, his new found power kept showing up again and again, and his parents were eventually able to discern that he was turning into sound. Despite some mild objections, Chase showed interest in becoming a superhero, the ones that were frequently seen on television. Knowing they couldn't stop him, they instead made him a suit, one that could endure the fast speeds he met whenever he transformed, and even suggested his hero name, "Reverb".

He finished high school with a 3.5 GPA. If he had wanted to, he could've gone to college and done quite well--he was a bright kid, after all--but, instead, he pursued the path of a hero, knowing his parents were right behind him to support him, and always there if this ended up flopping and he needed to return to a normal life.

The Powers and Weaknesses

(All characters can be as powerful as they want, as long as they are balanced with proper weaknesses.)
Powers

Power 1: Transforming into Sound At will, Chase is able to turn into sound waves.

What this entails

-Sight: in this form, he does see throughout where his eyes would be, but, instead of picking up light, it picks up sound itself. The louder something is, the easier it is to 'see', so the farther away a sound originates from, the harder it is to make out.

-Movement: like sound, he can pass through objects and seemingly fly (it would seem like flying if he were still matter, at least).

-Reentering Matter: when he reenters a state of matter, he still has the same speed he accumulated while sound, causing him to move extremely fast.

-Perceives time: He perceives time slowly in this state. Everything he sees moves at a crawling pace.

Power 2: Healing Factor He has a healing factor strong enough to allow him to sustain heavy damage, I.E., re-entering his matter form and still moving at/near the speed of sound, but it is not strong enough to make him immortal.

Power 3: Super Hearing He is able to hear with extreme clarity and pick up on a few more frequencies than most.

Power 4: Echolocation Due to his hearing, he is able to make out the environment around him through echolocation, and if the preexisting sound isn't clear enough, he can produce clicks that help him more clearly see.

Weakness(es)

Weakness 1: Sound While in this state, he isn't undetectable. In fact, he's very loud and obnoxious, so his power can't be viewed as a great tool for when something requires sneakiness.

Weakness 2: Soundproof If something is soundproof, he is unable to get through it. If he's trapped in a soundproof room with no doors, he's basically stuck in there, unable to get out.

Weakness 3: Physical Form Disregarding his healing factor, his body is the same to that of a human. He is as physically strong as a human normally is and his strength has limitations, limitations that are not extremely high. Due to his healing factor, he endure more than a normal human, regenerating fast, but his skin can still be penetrated by a knife, his bones can still be broken, etc. This affects his ability to safely transform from sound to matter.

Weakness 4: Vacuums If a vacuum is created while he is in his sound form, there will be no body. Like sound, he cannot survive in a vacuum and will instantaneously die.

Weakness 5: Rematerializing in a Solid Object Generally, Chase avoids it because he guesses what will happen, and his guess is correct. If he were to rematerialize within a solid object, it would cause him severe harm. Depending on the object he rematerializes in depends on the damage done. For example, if he were to return with an arm in concrete, he would lose that arm, but if it were done in foam, the foam would break.

Weakness 6: Blindness Due to some confrontations with others, he no longer has eyesight and is completely reliant on echolocation.

Weakness 7: Sound-Based Attacks Whether it be some weapon or a power, itself, sound based attacks cause serious damage in his sound form, ranging from causing scratches up and down his body when he turns back into matter to fractured or broken bones if powerful enough.

RP Mechanics

RP Mechanic(s):

RP Mechanic 1: Unstable His atoms are unstable, which allows for quick switching between his physical form and his sound. Of course, most atoms are not like that, but, if something were to have prolonged interaction with his unstable atoms, they start to become unstable, as well . An example of this would be his clothes. Without this process, he would be stark naked every time he transformed, but, because of it, if he's worn the clothes long enough, they'll transform with him.

Items/Minions

Item 1: The Suit The suit prevents the majority of friction he faces when enduring high speeds from harming him.

Physical Priority
(You are to put these physical attributes in order from 1 to 4. 1 is the highest priority, 4 is the lowest.)
Agility - 1
Endurance - 3
Reaction - 2
Strength - 4

I realize this is a drastic revamp of the original application, but I just felt as if his last advancement really squandered his power's potential, so I wanted to revert back to a time it didn't have that, and some of the weaknesses were kinda redundant, so I changed those, too. Also, in his original backstory, I made it far too needlessly edgy towards the end. There was no need for his parents to die, it works just fine without the trauma.

Lastly, found a face claim that works much better than some random British dude.
