Power Theory: Claw
Jul. 9th, 2011 10:43 pm Hello and welcome to today's Power Theory post. In this one, we're going to be looking at the powers of a character- but not the character themselves.
Today's character is Karl 'Claw' Hawk, who is a warper, but also possesses a mental power. He has complete control over fear, and the ability to rip anything apart.
As to how these work: his power over fear is a very limited form of empathy. He can't do anything else with it, but he is incredibly skilled with fear, and is probably the best empath in the world when it comes to fear. With it, he's figured out how to make someone afraid and manipulate them subtly- or overtly-, how to make artificial fear seem natural, and all sorts of other things. For instance:
-He automatically senses fear anywhere nearby
-He can sense what kind of fear someone's feeling and why they're feeling it
-He can sense what would make someone naturally afraid
-He can knock someone out or even kill them, through fear
Now, onto his warping power.
What he does is, in essence, command a force that covers his hands. This force allows him to pick up and rip through anything, even something too big for him to easily lift, or something too heavy. He can't pick up anything attached to something else, like a building, but he can rip through the joins between two things.
He doesn't need to have both hands holding something to be able to rip through it- two fingers will do. He can only rip through solid objects, but he can also rip through things like someone's created forcefield, or a mental hold on someone.
That concludes this Power Theory post. Next... whatever I can come up with.
