Quirk Type: emitter

Quirk: Power plates. A collection of hexagonal plates (about 5 inches in diameter) stored within his body that materialize and disappear at will when in the user’s range. They can be telepathically manipulated within 10 feet and have some flexibility. They can be used as armour, portable shields, launched at high speeds as projectiles, or used to enhance movement. The abilities vary based on plate count. A single layer plate will travel at high speeds when shot or used as propulsion, appearing as a translucent-light blue. Wearing a full single layer will provide a large speed boost and slightly increase strength, and provide some protection. As the plate stacks increase, up to 3 (for now), strength and durability are increased at the price of speed and dexterity.

Backlashes/Limits/Weaknesses: Plate generation and draw speed are limited. With minimal expenditure, a 20 plates can be produced a day. For strategic purposes, knocking oneself out for a day could result in up to 500 being produced. Provided they are available, plates can be withdrawn at a rate of 1 per second. When none are in reserve, they can be forced out at 1 every 5 seconds but at great strain to the user. Plates that leave the effective radius will disappear in a few minutes and are unable to be recollected. Damaged plates cannot be recalled.

Personality: Generally quiet, keeps his head down, but not necessarily antisocial. Once he finds people he’s comfortable with he’ll open up and try to form a group of friends. Despite his nervousness, he’ll step up to a position of leadership and control if the situation demands it.

Appearance: 5’8, a little bit underweight. Slightly tan skin and a stern face that erupts into massive smirk when in good company. Sports either a slightly poofy comb-over or on occasion neglects to comb it. Hero suit is a black suit covered with glowing hexagonal patterned lines. This allows energy to not have to be diverted to organizing the placement as it comes naturally.
