Name:
Arthur Faust
Age:
Twenty Three
Group They Are In:
Young Adult
Gender:
Male
Opinion on Escaping?:
Escaping. Freedom. A beautiful dream.
Who knows, he'd like to see the outside world, but the Facility is all he's ever known. It would be like going to another country... Worse, another planet!
Sexuality(optional):
Heterosexual
Appearance(at least 100 words):
A taller man with a thin build, initial first impressions don't invoke any image of an intimidating figure. Not that Arthur wishes to invoke such feelings. His figure is lean, well muscled but nothing bulky, Arthur never viewed himself as a, "Gym Bro", but he believes in maintaining your physical fitness. His skin is fair, falling on the paler side with no visible scarring, a gift from one of his abilities.
Arthur's looks can be described as either roguish or just a general lack of care depending on who you ask. His face is oval shaped, with low cheekbones and a sharp nose. Indigo eyes, keen and searching with a playful gleam. Arthur's hair is shoulder length, almost like that of the stereotypical surfer. A tousled, shaggy mess that speaks much on their carefree nature. Arthur is a redhead, a deep mahogany brown at the roots before fading into a soft ginger in a natural balayage. Around his chin is a thick stubble, with the only clear form of scarring on his body present on his left cheek. A small scratch from when he was but a child, before he got his powers.
For clothing he wears a white undershirt beneath a faded and worn-out black wool sweater. Often paired with grey denim jeans and old black and white sneakers. Arthur almost always keeps a worn up coat with him, something he's held onto since his youth, his Father's coat. It came to the Facility with him, and he will he damned if he goes anywhere without it. It's a deep blue, much like his eyes, made out of a thick fabric and built to last. It has a high collar and a hem that hangs a little below the waist.
Personality(at least 100 words):
Arthur is a dork. I can't really explain it better than that. He acts in a way that he knows is odd, but he cares not. He owns it.
Arthur... He is a very theatric man, taking everything in stride, and simply doing his best to have a little fun in life with what little he has. He has a saying, "Make your own entertainment! We are here for a good time, not a long time...", and it really shows whenever he does anything really.
He is very flippant with this uncaring, almost to an irresponsible degree, demeanor. He carries air of a trickster about him, loving to joke around and simply cause a little mischief here and there. If he is pissing you off, fear not! He is fully aware and revels in it. His body is strong, if you offer retribution, he will most certainly walk it off.
Arthur's mannerisms are bombastic, often speaking with a very playful tone and using lots of hand guestures and body language to get his point acrossed. Hell, even when he walks there seems to be a little bit of a dance in there. It is very clear he is the type who can't sit still for long. If forced to, you better be willing to listen to his half-asses humming renditions of various rock songs.
Arthur does have a serious side, but its rather subdued and to his honest opinion, very boring. He holds it back, but allows certain aspects to take the forefront due to well... There usefulness. He doesn't want to be a, "Crouching Moron, Hidden Idiot", now does he? Arthur is a very insightful man, always very observant of every situation he is in with hopes to take advantage of it. He is rather reserved when people get emotional. He isn't dumb, he can understand emotions rather well, he just chooses not to act upon them. Arthur feels that sometimes people just need their own space to work things out, and interfering makes to much melodrama for his tastes. Arthur while a rather goofy dork, isn't a slacker. If he sets his mind to something, he will most definitely keep trying to achieve it until it's completed, with blockheaded stubbornness.
Arthur is surprisingly emotionally reserved. His outer layer of a flamboyant, out of control, trash talking... Heathen?... Nothing more than that. A layer. Oh yes, he quite enjoys his fun... But there is always more to people than surface value.
Arthur is a sad man inside. A man who repressed himself for so long that when he decided to take a hold of himself, it all simply exploded into this wacky visage that is Arthur. He wasn't always full of life and confidence. He was a terrified child who craved for certainty, love, and security.
I guess once he reached that rebellious teen phase, he never truly grew up. He enjoyed that sense of regaining some form of self-worth. That innate adult understanding of life and who you are. The Inner Child wounds still remain though. Arthur fears little but abandonment, isolation, and powerlessness are things that make his psyche crumble. That outer layer begins to drift off and his old self re-emerges.
He seems to simply shut down.
Likes:
Unpredictability. A little flare of new opportunity in the mix of life.
Sour Candy.
Rock and Pop Music. Oh so lively! Many of his requests from his youth involved music after learning of its existence from a Scientist, and he never regrets it.
Just having a person near by, being alone is just... Awful.
Dislikes:
Habit. It bores him, drives him up the wall.
Bland Food.
Silence.
People who strive for perfection.
Being completely alone.
Being weak and vulnerable.
Powers:
Superhuman Physiology; Primary:
The first power gained by Arthur at the age of five, it's also his most basic.
Arthur is incredibly strong. He is shockingly fast, and great stamina to boot. Spectacular Durability. Supurb Healing Factor. Inhuman Senses of Smell, Hearing, and Sight. Amazing Disease Resistance.
The whole nine yards.

From what the Lab Faculty have discovered, if you were to take anything a normal human can do in a physical regard and multiplied it by thirty, that's the bar set by Arthur.
Several tests have been ran on his blood by scientists to isolate certain genes in hopes of using them to potentially reverse engineer this specific power for Military Purposes... Enhanced Soldiers. Discussions of also using it for pharmaceuticals has also been passed around, though it's up in the air as of now. Performance Enhancing Drugs. High Efficiency Antibiotics.
Energy Constructs; Secondary:
The second ability gained by Arthur at the age of thirteen, this one is most definitely his most versatile.
The ability to create a variety of constructs formed from the energy within his own body and the greater World around him. These constructs are limited in design, only set upon basic shapes though Arthur can control the size and dimensions. These constructs possess a translucent navy blue glow and are surprisingly cold to the touch.
They make for great sheilds, platforms, and quick projectiles, but they are only capable of lasting up to a several seconds before fading. Speed, Accuracy, and Finesse are always key with these creations.
The amount Arthur is capable of creating varies on the constructs size and purpose. If they are larger and meant to be durable, most likely only one can be made at a time. If the constuct is smaller and pretty fragile, Arthur can make up to twelve or more at a time.
~
Scientists view this ability as an unstable product. It's a natural sword and shield, carried by an unwieldy source. It's dangerous with its only real use being a weapon... Perhaps the energy used could be studied and inorganicly recreated to last much longer than its original prototype? It's a strange material which requires further investigation...
Faust's Touch; Tertiary:
The third ability gained by Arthur at the age of twenty one, this power is definitely the most peculiar of the bunch.
Arthur has the ability to release energy from his body and insert it into inanimate objects. By doing so, they become a part of him and can do a variety of things. The most notable being the ability to relay information back to him. To explain, imagine Arthur touched a wall and inserted his energy into it. That wall could become essentially a second pair of eyes, and he can see whatever occurs in front of that wall. He can use this ability to enhance all five of his senses.
~
The Facility regards this ability as a potential danger due to its capacities for "Espionage and Subterfuge". Many of the objects susceptible to Arthur interacting with are monitored to ensure they hadn't been tampered with.
~
Scientists have began to notice that due to Arthur's ability involving various energy transfers and usage that he has become increasingly sensitive to its flow around him. Arthur is capable of knowing when a power is being used, even if it isn't tangible, such as mental manipulations of various sorts While not entirely immune to the effects, being aware helps him fight off unseen attack.
