For those 8 who are playing in the X-Men Diverse to post their characters. No real template restrictions just include a name/alias, powers, and a brief history.
Alias: Tree hugger
say wotCurrent Alias: Aegis
What the actual mother of all that is pure in this world is this blasphemous existence that I see before me?!?! HE IS LITERALLY A BLACKHOLE! Lol. You should have named him Sagittarius A. ACTUALLY I think this is really cool if you do it right. ;)
Name: Alistair Tulloch
Alias: Horizon
Bio:
Xavier Institute official background:
The exact details of Alistair Tullochs history remain elusive, as his origins can only be verified by what he remembers in broken memories and incomplete impressions. Whether he remembers more cannot be known. Alistair claims to have been born somewhere Scotland, to a family that he does not remember all to well. He did not originally possess the deformities that his body demonstrates now, and until he was around ten - or sometimes, he says at seven - he believed himself to lack a mutant gene. However, he soon began demonstrating abilities that seemed supernatural in nature. Random levitation of objects, a certain "heaviness" about his presence, and the strange habit of things around him to seem to pull in his direction. With mutant and human relations becoming increasingly strained, his parents began to slowly turn against him. It was not their detest of him that had led to his capture. The corrupt organization that took him would have taken any mutant they could get their hands on regardless if his family had cared for him or not, all for "science" of course. His parents, however, protested only slightly. He remembers pain and suffering every day that he was there. He remembers them trying to goad his DNA into a state of further mutation. He remembers that one day, his body finally cooperated. What happened during those fateful moments of activation are, again, unclear. The world became covered in blackness and he says he heard a huge crushing noise erupt all around him before giving no way to complete silence. He does say that he knows, deep down, that no one survived. He remembers sitting for ages alone in a void. There was nothing, he felt nothing. And he says he was at peace. After a while, he began to see things, small flickers of reality. It was at this time that we believe his consciousness had began to return partially from the so called singularity dimension. He would appear in glimpses and shadows, like a ghost. After a small skirmish with law enforcement erupted when they attacked the specter, the X-Men were sent to investigate. They encountered Alistair, and he lashed out randomly in confusion. A battle ensued, but Professor Xavier managed to talk him into cooperating. He would find him many times afterwards when he appeared, and after a while Henry McCoy (Codename : Beast) constructed a machine to render his unstable matter stable, allowing Alistair to control his form and his transference between the two dimensions. He remained with us at the Institute, joining the X-Men team from time to time under the codename Horizon. He developed a deep set relationship with Xavier as he tried to walk him through his memories and his emotional trauma. Upon Xaviers death, Alistair grew despondent. He spent a majority of his days alone in his dimension. With the coming conflict, however, it seems that Alistair has returned with us out of a sense of responsibility to Xavier and his vision.
Powers
Black Hole Physiology:
Alistair has been transformed by his mutant abilities into what can best be described as a sentient supermassive black hole. His body's density fluctuates randomly, and he lacks any organic form. He need not eat, sleep or perform any of the regular needs of the average human. Because this form lacks a true brain and his consciousness functions under different concepts than a regular brain, telepaths can find entering his mind extremely painful and alien to their senses. At times he can even collapse in on himself and transform fully into a black hole.
Gravity Manipulation:
He can manipulate his own alien gravitational fields and the gravity around him for a variety of affects. Being the most pervasive force in the universe, this powers strength and scope can be hard to measure or predict. He can levitate objects, project waves of gravitational force, bend space time to quicken his reaction speed, and cause matter to collapse into small pseudo-black holes in combat. When things are sucked into these black holes, they are transported to the singularity dimension. Of course, due to the widespread influences of gravity, he has the potential to develop this power beyond even our understanding.
Dimensional Hopping
The physical form that we perceive in this plain of existence is not truly Alistair, but a projection of his being formed from the twisted material remains of his physical form. His true consciousness lies within a pocket dimension of pure nothingness he calls the "singularity dimension." By allowing his mass to collapse in on itself, he can allow this physical construct to pass in and out of his dimension at will, appearing to teleport. Due to this disconnect between himself and his avatar like construct, the form can be fully destroyed and be reformed after a long period of time. He can store and then release things that have been banished there. He may be able to transport himself to other dimensions as well given more time.
Latent Powers
Matter Manipulation
His ability to collapse and decompress matter using gravitational forces has at points hinted towards a larger scope of abilities. Given time, he could learn to use his powers to manipulate all forms of matter in a broad range of ways.
Weaknesses:
He is reliant on the technology crafted for him by McCoy to retain a controlled existence in this world. He has described before that his powers can be painful to use, as they involve the manipulation of his own body, which possesses the broken remains of an over reactive nervous system. He has since learned to surpress that pain through the psychic therapy by Charles Xavier and Jean Grey.
Errr. As far as I am aware it is myself and Mr. Black Hole.So what's our teleporter situation?
Wait wut. Oh I see now. Okay so I definitely do NOT think we need three of them. I mean I am not saying that I need to be the only one on the team, but if we literally have three people popping around all willy nilly that will be troublesome and somewhat irritating. I just don't want to end up being useless seeing as I am the first one that put up a teleporter.@Johnnysaurus Rex axtually it's now the black hole guy, Jabs 13 year old and Pros guy. Which makes it a grand total of 3.
If it makes you feel better I removed the teleportation to avoid redundancyWait wut. Oh I see now. Okay so I definitely do NOT think we need three of them.
