General:
Full name: Joshua Switch
Nicknames: Switch
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Profession: Police Office (Not a higher up, but not some street officer either. Respected in the force but not in command of any serious portion)
Background:
Social standing: Middle Ring
Family: A Sister, and an Uncle
Past: He never knew his father, and was born a bastard. His mother died of an illness when she was quite young due to their Outer Ring early life. However Switch used what he'd inherited and what he knew of the street and the government to work his way to a decent job with decent pay. Now he strives to work within the system, hoping to climb high on the policing ladder so he can help those that need helping.
In his younger life his Uncle realised he had some form of power, as things seemed strange around him. Pitches of sounds changed at random, rooms changed in temperature constantly, so the Uncle prevented Switch from leaving the house. He drilled into his head he must never use it in public, and helped him learn to use it. He didn't let him out of the house for a few months, because he feared what would happen if the government discovered him. Now Switch understands everything his Uncle did to him, and is incredibly grateful. He views him as his real father.
He has few friends in the town due to him being an officer, but his recent promotion to a better position has motivated him to start making allies for himself.
Personality:
Passions:
Working with the government
Stopping terrorism
Helping those in need of assistance
Dislikes:
People who use violence to advance their aims
Fighting against the system instead of using it
Relationships:
He is close to his younger sister, but he had very little other family.
There is also his uncle, who was a cop like him but was in a much worse job. He helped Switch get as far as he did.
Fears:
People discovering his power
His sister dying
Talents:
He's one of the most accurate shots in the settlement
Quite cheerful despite his position, and loves to crack jokes even when the situation is not appropriate
Weaknesses:
His secrets being discovered
Appearance:
Height and build: 5"9, well built but not overly muscled. Focused on fitness rather than appearance in terms of muscle
Skin: Quite pale, but years of service has left it scarred and bruised
Hair: Short and brown, very short at the sides and quite short but somewhat stuck up on top, in a sort of military hairstyle.
Fashion style and accessories: Outside of his uniform Switch wears very basic clothing, mostly blacks and grays.
Special features:
Long scar down his back from a nasty fight in the past
Power:
Energy Manipulation
Brief description: Switch can change and alter energy around him. He can turn sound into thermal, or kinetic into gravitational. This is mostly useless in combat, but there are ways to make it effective. And if he really focuses he can manipulate energy in its purest form, brilliant blue plasma, but he cannot do this well due to his lack of practice and ability.
This ability is not limitless. Since every manipulation takes energy from his own body as well, it strains him and can hurt him. This means if Switch tried to something serious he'd badly injured himself. He has never been able to make an entire room reach water's boiling temperature, which is in part due to the fear for his own body. He was once able to hold a bird on the ground by turning various energy into gravitational, but even that increase was too much and he released it quite quickly. While theoretically he could do a lot with this power, he cannot do much without causing harm to himself.
Advantages: He can manipulate energy to be whatever he likes. Quite useful in itself. What little time he had to use his power when he was younger he spent learning to control it, to manipulate it so it only came to life when he wanted it to. Energy no longer changes at random like it used to, now it only changes when he wants it to.
Disadvantages: As well as altering surrounding energy, Switch's lack of control means he gives his own energy up and can hurt himself in the process.
He also sometimes misuses it and it's intensity is higher than he anticipated it should be.
Amount of control the character has on a scale from 1 to 10: 6/10
