FADE (JERRIK KHAN) [VILLAIN]

THE BASICS

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

The villain persona known as Fade, when people state that he is a faceless enemy of society they are not hyperbolic or speaking in riddles but in observable fact, this is because he quite literally does not possess a face nor defining features and normal skin for that matter. In place of this his entire body seems to be composed of ever shifting TV static and while this form is not his original look it is one that is effectively in a permanent state that many would confuse him with a Mutation type. With this he will normally don some very average and working class looking attire which usually consists of a pulled up hoodie, a jacket over this hoodie, fairly common blue jeans, and tennis shoes all of which can be found very easily on the clearance rack.

Although that being said this is not always the look he chooses to give to the outside world and more often or not will be donning one of his countless costumes over his static skin. If one were to rip one of these off all they would see underneath is static. On one job he may look like nothing more than some dirty homeless bum, in another job he may look like a fat carefree security guard, and even looking or sounding like someone of the opposing gender is not a hindrance to him. Utilizing everything from simple acting, outfits, wigs, makeup, and even things like fake facial structures such as fake noses, ears, colored contacts to changing his voice perfectly. These costumes are effective enough that it came be difficult to tell that they are fake even if one were to know about it and even throw off facial recognition software.

Mr. Khan on the other hand, the way he appears when his static skin is 'turned off' nearly automatically gives off the impression of a stern, unforgiving, yet devilishly handsome businessman. When he takes on this persona he wears nothing but the most expensive of suits all carefully selected by himself and tailored to fit his well toned body perfectly. The aura he tends to give off is one of purpose, overwhelming strength, and almost unapproachable, which is by design, for if what you bring him something that he would deem to be not worth his time he is more likely to just fire you. Aside from this appearance wise he possesses blue eyes and jet black hair.

PERSONALITY

Jerrik is a stoic, egotistical, confident, and focused individual who while at first glance can seem friendly, warm, and forthcoming usually end up seeing him as nothing but a sadistic madman. Others would say that he had merely mastered the art of the poker face. While he possess a tenancy for cruelty and violence he is actually very intelligent and cautious often or not being quite aware of the power disparity between himself and others then retreat or advance accordingly. Although despite his knack for violence he does not outright seek it out at any given opportunity but rather whenever he takes part in it its always for some sort of purpose or goal in mind even if that goal is mere intimidation.

His intelligence is one of his greatest assets having not just one but numerous master degrees and speaking over 6 languages fluently though much of this is partially due to the simple fact that he possesses a Photographic memory. With this he could read something out of text book once and remember it perfectly during tests. This sheer amount of knowledge at his disposal grants him numerous advantages. Though his memory is not just limited to things he reads but also to things that he sees allowing him to remember exact details about events or individuals he has seen for later use.

Acting is one of his most used skills out of his arsenal and will often or not completely change his personality depending on who he is speaking to in order to have them perceive him in one way or to obtain something from them. To one person he can be a genuine and helpful older brother figure, another may see him as a aloof or stringent business man, and many others merely as some deranged blood thirsty psychopath.

His internal moral compass skews his own way or it would be simply better to state that he has none for even when he robs or murders someone in cold blood he sees nothing wrong with it but seeing as a mere necessity. This is mostly due to the fact that if he were to see a psychiatrist he would almost be immediately labeled as a psychopath. He will lie to you with a straight face, distort the truth to his own ends, throw you away when you no longer have worth, and charm you with his seemingly friendly personality to get what he wants out of you. He will use any means at his disposal in order to complete a task for he possess the mentality of "The ends justify the means".

Fighting is not something that Jerrik enjoys but rather finds the whole act in of itself to be quite brutish and beneath him. Rather he prefers to act indirectly often or not acting as a support for others often or not as a sort of infiltrator/spy, information collector, or as a sort of arms salesman to allow them to take in the limelight while he himself can remain in the shadows.

Bad habits are a fact of every day life and while for some this may just be drinking too much soda or smoking but his... his on the other hand is nothing short of sociopathic. His bad habit is simply him storing people into the Alt in order for them to play in his "Games". These games are often survival based such as storing two people and see how long they can survive without any supplies or giving them limited supplies and see see how long it will take for them to kill each other for the limited supplies. He gets a great deal of entertainment from watching these games play out to a near sadistic level. If they end up killing each other for a candy bar good and if they find that they wont play into his games and starve to death together its just as good for the goal of the game is merely to see how people will react like some deranged experiment. He will even place solitary individuals into some secluded area of the Alt all by themselves to watch them slowly turn to madness often or not offering them food at selected intervals to keep them alive but this is usually with a catch; forcing them to say or do something embarrassing or demeaning.

People Watching is possibly one of his most favored pass times whether it be merely sitting in a park watching the people pass by going about their daily lives or indirectly toying with someones life or career just to see how they will react. His habit has taught him much about human nature and often or not the best way to throw a wrench into the most hidden gear. This gives him a great deal of insight into the human psyche and often or not allows him to gleam a great deal of personal information from an individual from a simple glance or conversation.

Despite his nature he is not just some goalless villain who likes violence and destruction for its sake alone for after all he often or not condemns such acts as utterly pointless. Often or not he will even call these types of villains moronic for all they are doing is giving the heroes fodder to train up on or polish their skills. He is a goal minded individual and his own method of violence possess a goal as well. He simply does not see the society generated by heroes to be a good thing for he believes in the idea of the survival of the fittest and whether it be heroes or society in general keeping the weakest of society alive will end up destroying it as a whole. He imagines an ideal society where only those with Quirks survive. He does not care as to whether or not this society would be stable or not for it is not even the point of it. If he finds that something does not work it is better to just simply dispose of it rather than try an fix it.

Mr. Khan (His original and now alter / public persona) on the other hand, while there are some similarities, is an entirely different being. Stern, aloof, unforgiving, and most of all a relentless businessman who's entirely focused on the advancement and power of both himself and his company in the most efficient way possible. His rivals in business knowing full well what is most likely to happen to those who cross into his territory. While he does not appear in public often anyone who knows of his name understands that he is a man of purpose who does not tolerate any sort of weakness within himself or his employees who often or not have to constantly prove themselves to him. Although with that being said it does not mean that he does not know how to play the press or he government for that matter for the sheer amount of charisma he seems to possess is enough to sway anyone to his side or rile up a room as though he were preparing for war. When he is seen in public it is often or not in his company headquarters or its R&D section checking up and constantly evaluating their performance. When seen outside of his company he is almost always seen attending only the the most famous restaurants, events reserved for the wealthy, and across from the table or next to him is normally a politician, judge, police commissioner, or even high ranking heroes. He is always at work.

BACKGROUND HISTORY

Jerrik Khan, nowadays known only as the faceless villain known as Fade, did not exactly have the most comfortable of upbringings that a child could have. This was mostly due to the simple fact that his father, Abran Khan, was a Mongolian native who was working in Japan under a work visa while is mother was an average Japanese waitress who found herself pregnant after a one night stand at a bar. Now to many this may not sound like the reasoning behind his uncomfortable upbringing although it was merely the starting point. This is mostly due to the simple fact that Jerrik was a child of mixed race and it was this simple fact that caused him to be harassed, bullied, and generally looked down upon by the children in the neighborhood.

As though this was not enough for the young Jerrik it should be said that his father Abran was both a man of humble beginnings, being raised on poverty, and a man of tradition who saw his own image as far more important than anything else. Thus whenever Jerrik did anything that he would deem as embarrassing or unsightly whether it was large or small would ensure that his son knew otherwise by beating it into him harshly. These constant beatings would continue until Jerrik fixed the mistake he had made which many times was merely getting a look off of his face. While these occurred his mother would be in the background begging her son to just do what his father wanted. It was very early on that Jerrik learned to always give his father proper greetings and a professional smile as though he were in the business life himself speaking to his boss. Though even after he did everything his father asked of him both his father and mother could not help but feel as though there was something off with their child. This was due to how Jerrik acted during their bimonthly trip into the wilderness, which Abran used to teach him the art of Mongolian hunting and trapping, where he seemingly had no issues in taking the lives of the animals they had trapped and even taking pleasure in it. If he found that the animal was still alive his father would find him starring at it with a slight chuckle in his voice as it squirmed around and yelped in pain.

Quirks are known to emerge in a child sometime before or around their 4th year and Jerrik's was no different as his own emerged right before his 4th birthday. He soon discovered that he could make objects disappear or reappear through mere touch though there was a more obvious sight that he had obtained a quirk; his skin had turned into what appeared to be TV static. His father found the sight of Mutation type quirks to be unsightly, thinking that it would be a embarrassment to his name, thus he immediately barred him from playing with any of the neighborhood children as to save him face. Telling Jerrik that no one other than him and his mother were allowed to see his unsightly form. Soon after this his father even told him right to his face that it would of been better if he was just Quirkless. Luckily their home was surrounded by large concrete walls thus Jerrik was allowed to go into the backyard to play. Jerrik was even banned from touching the TV for if he did the screen would begin to scramble. Around half of a year of this an event would shock the nation.

Tokyo, being such a large city, had a several strong heroes of high ranking and each of them was considered to be be precious to society. So when one of its top heroes known as "The Ally of Justice: Teddy" went missing both the public and heroes flew into a frenzy in a attempt to either find him or at least discover what had occurred. After nearly 2 months of investigations they could find no trace of the Hero thus closed the case; his family buried a empty casket. Unbeknownst to anyone is that on the day where Teddy disappeared he had a unlucky encounter with a 4 year old boy playing alone in his backyard. While heading home after a day of hero work he by mistake landed in the Khan's backyard only to find a boy with static skin starring at him. Well he assumed that the boy was starring at him for he had no visible eyes. Teddy attempted to comfort the boy by rubbing him on the shoulders telling him that he was a Hero but no matter what he said the only thing Jerrik could think of was how furious his father would be when he found out that someone had seen him. Thus he could only think of one thing to make the situation disappear, upon grabbing Teddy by his forearm the hero was covered in static and disappeared from the world. Seconds later his mother would open the patio door to call him in for lunch and saw nothing out of the ordinary with the yard or her sons expression.

It would take nearly another year for his situation to change as halfway through his 5th year Jerrik discovered that he could Turn off his static skin and one again appear as a normal human. While his father was not convinced of this at first he eventually accepted that his son was 'normal' looking again and thus allowed him to go to school.

The mannerisms and formality that had been beat into him by his father came into full force once he had joined school for the professional and formal personality he showed his teachers was more than enough to put them him on their permanent good side. Though at this early age it does not take much to put a child on the bad side of their classmates and after seeing the favoritism shown by the teachers for Jerrik all of the more aggressive children began to pick on him. It was around this time that Jerrik learned that he could not just fight them off instead he found the better way was to tattle on them to the teachers often or not pretending to be crying, distress, or even merely make up something to get them in trouble. While this worked for a time soon the other children grew sick of the 'teachers pet' and merely continued to pick on him both inside and outside of school as revenge. After being victim to this for a time he decided that it was better to work in an indirect fashion rather than direct.

Having discovered more aspects of his Quirk he began to use them in school to obtain revenge on his classmates. By simply remembering someones voice he found that he could mimic it perfectly as though he was playing back a sound recording of them. In class or in the lunch room he would pretend to say something horrible or embarrassing for the person which often or not would result in some sort of punishment or laughter being brought upon them. No one ever suspected Jerrik for everyone believe him to be Quirkless. Other times he would simply discover what one classmate treasured, often or not by simply overhearing it unnoticed, swipe it unnoticed and place it another of his classmates bags that he disliked. A simple round of searching would quickly reveal the 'culprit' along with the fitting punishment for thievery. Many of his classmates began to suspect Jerrik due to the simple fact it was normally the people who picked on him that got in trouble. But even if they were to attempt to oust him none of the teachers would believe them for how could a perfect student like Jerrik do wrong. Eventually most of the children just learned to never mess with him for even if there was never any evidence people just grew to understand that anyone that got in his way met horrible ends.

Around the age of ten tragedy struck their small family as his mother had passed away in the night, the doctors saying afterwords that it was most likely due to a failing weak hard finally giving up under stress. With his mother gone his father slowly became more and more depressed eventually turning into nothing more than a violent drunk. Normally the only times that Jerrik would receive a beating from his father was when he did something wrong but now, with his mother gone and father drunk, he began to beat him whenever he felt like it for whatever reason he could think of. This turn of events in his family prompted Jerrik to find any reason to stay out of the home as possible. He found that the best way to occupy his time after school was to join a good number of the after school clubs. Often or not finding himself being a member of more than 10 clubs at a time ranging from Track, Computer, Herbology, Chess, to Theater and Make up clubs essentially anything to keep him from being home alone with his father.

Several years later another event took place in Jerrik's life and one that possibly had more of a impact than the death of his mother. After waking up from a nights rest and getting ready for school as he opened the door leading outside of the house he quickly realized that something was horrifically wrong. For in his sight all he saw was death for in the place of green grass, blue skies, and even the sound of animals all he saw was destruction and the only sound being that of the wind echoing through a silent wasteland. As he looked back inside of the house he had just left he saw it in complete ruin with rotting wood covering the floor and the roof completely caved in. Jerrik ran back in side and attempted to find his father who was still sleeping when he had left but despite his efforts he found no one. The strangest sight however was that his ruined room was seemingly littered with objects that did not fit in; he eventually realized that these were all items that he had made disappear over the years. As he walked back outside above in the sky was a dreary cloudy overcast barley allowing any light through and all around him was overgrown buildings in ruin, and most of all there was not a single other living soul in sight. He attempted to wake himself up by picking and even hitting himself thinking he was in some sort of nightmare but he quickly realized that somehow the world around him had ended leaving him as the soul survivor. For what seemed like weeks or even months to him, having lost track of time long before, he traveled the wasteland to find... something that would tell him what had happened or at least another living soul with no substance to feed him other than the 2 meals and snacks he had packed for school that day. The only trace of another human that he found in the wasteland was in the form of a rotting corpse wearing the clothing of the hero who had went missing years earlier.

Police would eventually find Jerrik wandering the streets at night covered in wounds, dehydrated, speaking gibberish, and nearly starved to death. Upon waking up in the hospital he would come to find out from the police around him that he had been missing for 3 weeks and that it was not his father that had filed a missing child report but rather one of his teachers. The police continued to ask questions for what seemed like hours though despite them speaking right next to him he did not hear them for his mind was still stuck in that world feeling as though even now he could be sucked back into that world at any moment. Even the sight of green trees grass or people around him was not enough to snap him out of it. It was only after one of the officers touched Jerrik that he snapped back to reality. Much of this mental state was due to the simple fact that the sights he had seen and the sheer isolation had caused Jerrik to lose his grip on reality and some could even say that he went mad for a time. After another round of questions Jerrik eventually just made up a story to get ride of them telling them he had merely run away from home to get away from his abusive father. A follow up investigation from child protective services would eventually come up with evidence and officially charge his father with child abuse. Jerrik himself was placed into protective custody and eventually placed into a home.

In his new home, while he had hopped that it would end up being better than his previous home, he would find it only slightly better than his last for the woman who was now taking care of him was taking care of nearly 8 other children. This woman had little time to even pay attention to the new addition to her home and even if she did she probably would not of cared for she only spent enough money on them to keep them clothed and fed with the rest of the money being spent on herself. She cared little about the well being of the children she was supposed to be protecting but rather only cared about the string of government checks she received.

It would take nearly a year for Jerrik to completely come to terms with what had happened, but within this time he had come to understood that this alternative world he was sent do was in fact apart of his Quirk. This knowledge completely shifted his mindset towards it as he grasped how to travel to and from it all will; eventually calling it the 'Alt'. Eventually he would discover that he could appear anywhere he wanted in the real world merely by traveling to the same location within the Alt. Within the home the other children would notice that Jerrik would disappear for hours at a time only to randomly reappear in odd places. He began to spend more and more of his time within the Alt discovering its secrets. He became obsessed with it until he eventually he found how to manipulate it to his will. Discovering that he could change the very landscape itself to anything he imagined and even create holograms of people; though he also realized that it was easier to recreate things he already knew well. His creations his replicas of the real world were becoming better and better though he eventually realized that he wanted an outside opinion.

Three teenagers in the city went missing over the course of three months with each of them disappearing in the firs week of the month. Police investigated this but found evidence that lead them to believe that they had run away from home; evidence that was planted by Jerrik. He used these teenagers for his own purposes for he would test to see just how accurate and detailed his creations were becoming. He recreated their homes and neighborhoods and even numerous people in their lives. Each of them had the same reaction where while at first they would be normal they would begin to grow distressed after they began to notice things that were off in both the environment and people... and when they eventually discovered that the people around them were holograms panic set in. Once they panicked Jerrik deemed the test to be over and simply left them in the Alt to starve to death. Though with every test it would take longer and longer for the subjects to realize that they were not in the real world; progress. It was here that Jerrik learned how much knowledge of the key details of someones life was crucial to recreating their reality.

Within his new home Jerrik quickly understood that he would have to fend for himself he wanted anything more than the bare minimum. But being unable to get a job at his age or even be placed into a new home Jerrik decided to put his Quirk to use. Over the months Jerrik would find himself day after day traveling along the overcrowded trains swiping anything he could get his hands on whether it be a wallet, watch, or jewelry by simply placing it into the Alt unnoticed. After a trip to a unsavory individual in a pawn shop he would be able to eat well every night and buy whatever he desired.

Crime became more than an every day part of his life for if he was not in class or in the Alt he was out in the streets stealing any item he could get his hands on. Eventually Jerrik would find himself apart of a gang of other quirk users who, like him, used them for their own ends. He even sought out this gang in order to protect himself from heroes by being apart of a group ideally allowing the others to take the blame if they were ever caught. It was within this gang that Jerrik's skills as a information collector began to both truly develop and shine. Within the gang he would be the primary one to to seek out targets, infiltrate, and let them in to steal the goods often or not lying about the nature of his Quirk so that they would both not ask more of him or gleam too much insight on his abilities. As much as his gang members knew his quirk was merely the ability make intimate objects disappear and reappear. Eventually when the gang had used up all their worth Jerrik would cover his tracks and eliminate the gang by merely sending them to the Alt to be used for his testing.

Years later at his high school graduation not only did Jerrik find himself as the Class President but also as the valedictorian of his entire year; graduating at the age of 16 at that. Along with this graduation he found himself with a full ride to numerous Universities around the country of which most would expect that he would only accept the most prestigious one. To all of his teachers Jerrik was the example of what all students should aspire to be in terms of grades, mannerisms, and even his attire was perfect! This was because, to their eyes, he was a student who had overcome all of the hardships in his life and climb to the top. Although, unbeknownst to his teachers or even his classmates for that matter, while he had gotten top good grades he had also used a variety of illegal methods in order to reach the top of his class as he had even sabotaged the student that would of beaten him otherwise.

Much to the delight of all of his teachers Jerrik would go on to excel in his college years and eventually at the end of it would Obtain his masters by majoring in Electrical & Architectural Engineering and minoring in Chemical Engineering, Business Management & Psychology. Most impressively he had obtained all of his degrees within 6 years. After college Jerrik would do nothing but become the pride and joy of all of his teachers. This was due to the fact that after graduation he actually created joint venture with some of his classmates and several businessmen with himself and his own name of Khan becoming the head. His company aptly named Justice Technologies (JT) would be one who specialized in the creation, testing, and deployment of Hero Augmentation Equipment. Within a year their products would hit the market and make a name for themselves for creating high quality and reliable Hero gear; although its quality came at a steep price. Although they would also become known for their ruthless business practices as they either erased their competition from the face of the earth or acquired them as a subsidiary. Justice Technologies also eventually acquired a Media Company called the "Hero News Network" or HNN which even possessed its own channel on the TV. Over the years the name of Khan would be known by every major power in the country, his name in the news papers, numerous TV interviews, and having enormous influence in politics.

In order to speak of the next part of his story we have to go back several years, back to when he had finally slipped out of his maddened state and discovered the nature of his Quirk. After he had regained himself to say that Jerrik was deeply effected by the sights that he had saw would be a understatement. While lost in the Alt he had hoped that someone would eventually find him but after hours of screaming for help nothing ever came. When no help came Jerrik understood that the only thing that could help him was himself and even to the point that everyone else was meaningless. After he found his way out of the alt the idea stayed behind.

Over time his ideals would develop, deepen, and expand along with his understanding of his Quirk but never straying away from their origin. To enhance the power of his Alt he began his habit of people-watching. At first it was merely sitting around and watching people pass by with their lives with every so often he would follow an individual to see how they interacted with the world around them. Often or not changing his outfit every day so that the person he was following at the time would not grow suspicious and over time his costume changes started to get better and better. It took nearly 2 years of this for him to understand that he needed more to perfect his creations that he needed to become more direct in his observations. Through his ever more convincing costumes he would begin to interfere with his subjects lives by telling them something on the streets, sending them things through email or post, or by forcing some sort of confrontation with another subject; watch, observe, and record. As these experiments grew so did his interest in the human condition as well as his fascination into finding out the point at which they would break. Once he grew confident enough he began to create plays or skits in the Alt often or now scenes of a subjects wife sleeping with someone else close to them. He would simply send these to their email and observe the ensuing chaos as some sort of sick social experiment. Eventually, once again, his experiments would grow.

Wanting more real data he began to kidnap siblings, couples, or any other type of individuals with close relationships. He would place them within the Alt with limited supplies and watch to see how long it would take for them to tear each other apart for food scraps. To some people he would merely send them to some remote region of the Alt and have them be isolated alone and keeping them alive for years just to see the effects. All of this only being possible because of the Alt as within it no one else could interfere and leaving no evidence behind. To be sure of this he would even disguise himself as the person he had abducted and have them, on camera or with credit card records, leave town never to be seen again as if they had just left their entire life and family behind.

While all police reports on his victims never ended anywhere near the idea of abduction there were some users on the internet, often or not friends or family of the victims, that would not let go of the idea that something else had happened to them; for why would they leave them behind? Eventually this collective came up with the idea of a villain named "Fade" in reference to the very nature of their loved ones disappearances. Unbeknownst to these people Jerrik himself was apart of many of these conversations as he was even monitoring the mental state of these individuals even to the point of placing monitoring equipment in their homes. Group Think, crowd psychology these where the types of things he became engrossed in while performing these experiments. Although with this Jerrik... no Fade thought of things on an even greater scale as his thoughts turned to the Heroes.

While he was in college he began by specifically targeting heroes but unlike other villains Fade attacked them in the indirect fashion. He began simple, firstly he began to undermine their confidence in their own abilities by preventing them from completing tasks or saving people which often or not sometimes resulted him working directly with other villains to ensure their escape or merely helping them complete their goals. Some of these goals would even be the destruction of buildings via bombs that he himself had created each of varying styles as to not be linked with a single person. If someone were to somehow link all of his explosives to him the number that would be connected to him would be over 20 events. As the heroes confidence began to wane he then started to attack them with the media, propping up fake stories about Heroes that spoke ill of them while suppressing real stories to the point where the public themselves began to berate and scrutinize them. Once public trust in them fell eventually their financial backing would weaken. With all of these and other methods he would watch them as they slowly grew more and more depressed. Depression would lead to mistakes, mistakes would lead to deaths, deaths to public outcry eventually resulting in a public who saw no worth in a Hero. When the public does not trust a Hero they are doomed to fall. Some of his targets over the years had left the hero business altogether, became drunks or addicts, or many others just simply disappeared.

When Fade created Justice Technologies it was under the guise of Mr. Khan, his civilian persona, so that these two identities would remain completely separate. While Mr. Khan would be the head of the company behind him was Fade who controlled and held the companies true purpose. The funding that was required to fund such a large venture was not just funded by various businessmen and investors but also primarily by his own sources. Sources, much of which, was often or not the profits generated by the various bank heists, information or arms sales, and other villain activities he had had taken apart of or orchestrated over the years. The money itself was essentially made untraceable by channeling it through hundreds of different sources to clean it before its placement back into the economy.

Even the rapid aggressive growth showcased by the company was littered with illegal activity as they would often or not take advantage of one of their competitors moment of weakness which was often or not the result of a Villain attack orchestrated by Fade. Blackmail, espionage, or bribery no matter what the method was Fade uses these in order to advance his company with no one over being the wiser that there was a Villain known as Fade behind it all.

Fade, despite being a villain, created this company to assist and empower Heroes for a variety of reasons as for starters companies who deal in the hero business generate enormous profits, secondly they obtain influence in both politics and media. Thirdly is that by dealing with Heroes quirks he can obtain substantial Intel on these Heroes who work with Justice Technologies directly or even though other companies through various deals, joint projects, or partnerships. Much if not all of this power and Intel is generated passively through its very nature meaning that he did not need to direct every action but rather can stand back and collect. He could then use these details to better deal with them in the future.

Fade... Mr. Khan, while these identities may be separate as much as the public or records are concerned they are one. Mr. Khan is Fade and Fade is Mr. Khan. Both serve their purpose to the goal of the elimination of the Society of Heroes.

QUIRK & SKILLS

---

CHANEL ZERO

TYPE: Emitter/Mutant
RANK/LEVEL: (write proposed rank here)
SUMMARY:
Chanel Zero is a Emitter/Mutant type quirk grants Jerrik a unique connection the world beyond the TV Screen. The first and most notable effect of this Quirk is that he has the ability to turn off and on what appears to be skin composed of nothing than constantly changing TV Static. While he is within this state he possesses no defining features what so ever meaning no visible nose, eyes, ears, fingerprints, etc. This effectively means that it is impossible to connect his static state to his human state even with facial recognition software (which will give different readings every time it scans him) or even via other quirks. His static body is often confused for a mere Mutant type ability, a misconception that he will never correct. Even if someone where to suppress his Quirk with another it would merely prevent his ability to use his own Quirk further and not turn off his static skin. Another benefit of this quirk is his ability to 'Mute' himself which can allow him to walk with no sound and can even perfectly change his voice to mimic any other that he has heard that he simply calls "Dubbing".

Children like to believe that their movies or shows are real and if they could only jump into their screens they would be within those realities; Jerrik's power is effectively based upon this idea. Through simple thought Jerrik is able to shift his own body into an alternate world that he calls 'Chanel Zero' of the 'Alt'. This world itself is essentially a 1:1 carbon copy of the real world with the same space and building locations although it is one that has seemingly gone though some sort of life ending apocalyptic event. This world is filled with over grown ruins, destroyed cars, a constant night sky filled with ominous clouds, and a shattered moon. There can be a small assortment of broken or shattered items found within the alt but they will never work or provide any sort of nutritional value (will also taste horrible). Even if someone were to attempt to grow real world crops within the Alt they would have no success as the earth is seemingly barren if if they brought soil along as well. Jerrik can just as easily return to the real world in the same spot he went in or by simply traveling through the Alt can appear anywhere else in the real world; works in vice-versa as well. This ability to transfer to the Alt also works on things other than himself.

By simply placing one of his hands upon a target he can transfer them to the Alt as though he were transferring himself and as he does the physical form of the target will distort, warp, and be covered in TV static as it disappears from the real world. Just like himself, while within the alt, the targets will be unable to interact or even perceive the real world... that is unless he allows it. As one walks through the alt they may see TV screens and it is through these TV screens that Jerrik can turn on at will and link to their real world counterpart effectively creating a one way plane to view the real world; this works in the real world as well. No matter how much someone hits or screams at the screen they would never be able to interact with the other side as though it were a mere TV show. By physically interacting with the Alt counterpart of a screen he can also change what is displayed upon it in the real to whatever he wills.

While Jerrik is capable of complete transfer of a target into the Alt he can also, if he so chooses, only transfer a portion of it into the Alt most notably using this effect upon himself. By transferring a portion of his own body to the alt, say a area of his body which is about to be hit by an attack, he can give off the appearance that they are phasing through his body. He remains connected to his body even if a portion of it is within the Alt and/or real. While he can perform this on other targets he must still be touching the portion of the target he wishes to transfer. Luckily, just like himself, the transferred portions of a target are not severed but remain connected. If you were to look at the cross section of an object which was partially transferred all you would see is static instead of bone and muscle.

The Alt itself is essentially Jerrik's domain and while within it he is capable of performing various things. Firstly he is able to alter the physical appearance of the alt to 100% match the real though this will not generate humans or animals naturally by itself alone. He can also create entirely new environments based upon his memory or imagination such as making them mimic the environment from a TV show. By using their own memory of a human or animal they can generate what are essentially realistic holograms or copies of the target who's looks, actions, speech, and mannerisms are programmed into them by Jerrik himself meaning that the more he knows about a target the more authentic they can become. However as they are essentially holograms even if someone real were to interact with them they would merely phase through them (holograms can interact with the alt) though if it is programmed into them the holograms can interact with real people visually or audibly. With these Holograms if he so desired he could create a sort of play or skit where he can make then do anything he desires and then record them with any sort of modern video recording devices.

WEAKNESSES/LIMITATIONS:
Seemingly the basic limiting factor of his Quirk is the need to make physical contact with his hand in order to transfer it to the Alt. Retrieving however does not require this rather the user must simply know its exact location within the Alt in order to transfer it to the real world. But as any other item traversing to and from it will appear in the same location where it was transferred meaning that if they want it to appear somewhere else they have to move it first. In order to locate items within the Alt Jerrik is able to project his consciousness across it entirely and through this identify and locate targets with exact precision. He is capable of this even in the real world although this delay can be negated by simply memorizing the locations beforehand. If the target is moving or is identical to others this process can take longer creating a delay in retrieval.

Secondly if Jerrik is in the process of transferring, either to or from the alt, he cannot perform the opposing effect meaning that if he is transferring an object to the alt he cannot at the same time retrieve until the original transfer process has been completed; this includes himself. The time it takes to transfer a target also depends on its weight meaning if they were to transfer a simple chair it would be almost instantaneous while a semi-truck would take a while. Retrieving takes far less time than storing. He is limited by the number of items that he can transfer at any given moment with this limit being one object for each hand.

When transferring people to the Alt there is another requirement where under normal circumstances he is limited by the number of people (with quirks) he can transfer to the alt by a number equal to 1 per hand. After he has transferred such a individual he can no longer use that hand to transfer any more until said individual has been released back into the real world. Although that being said this limitation can be bypassed by gaining consent before hand making them from a Unwilling target to a Willing target. Consent itself can be gained in a number of methods while this is namely though verbal consent it can also be through written or through body gestures. Strangely the terminology that he uses to ask them can be... obscure meaning that it is possible to trick people into giving their consent thus removing the limit.
