Ezra Gabriel
Ezra Gabriel
Age: 11
Height: 4'7"
Weight: 77 lbs.
Eyes: Brown
Appearance:
Standing only 4 feet, 7 inches tall, Ezra's form doesn't exactly command the greatest of authority. Eleven years old, his face is considered lovely by many, almost pretty in nature. One misjudgement would lead a casual onlooker to mistake Ezra for a girl. His arms and legs are thin and agile, capable of feats normally reserved for Olympic gymnasts and martial artists. He wears a white jacket with a maroon tank top underneath, barely concealing his frail, childhood frame. His legs are covered by a neat pair of denim pants, which leave an inch or so of his ankle showing near the bottom. He is always barefoot, and seems to take a lot of pleasure in it; shoes are never an option. His cute little toes have been known to turn heads, and cannibalistic appetites, in his direction.
Fighter's Personality:
Ezra is known for being cheerful and friendly in public, almost to the point of being naive. He's very respectful, and enjoys making new pals more than anything else. In battle, however, Ezra is usually very frightened (his combat experience as an 11-year-old being next to nil) at displays of new or unusual powers, but can quickly adapt into a fighting frame of mind and take care of business. Battle injuries are usually a big deal, but fit neatly into his powers...
Fighter's Overall Style:
Psychic & Gymnastics/Acrobatics.
Abilities/Powers/Skills:
a.) Flight- Through telekinesis, Ezra can propel his body into the air and control his destination effortlessly with his thoughts.
b.) Telekinesis- Ability to move objects with one's mind (duh!). Ezra is quite proficient with its use, but doesn't see it as a permanant solution to battle. Capable of affecting energy as well as solid matter with equal accuracy. This is the most developed and precise of Ezra's powers.
c.) Pain Energy Manipulation- Ezra has the ability to transform his physical and/or psychological pain into psychic energy to use against his opponent. The form the energy takes usually mirrors the type of pain he experiences. For example, he can use flame-like attacks if his hand was just slit open, and the pain is described as "burning". This ability is very flexible, ranging from basic beams and shots of energy to entire limbs and separate creatures made entirely of psychic energy. These alternative applications of energy are usually found as replacement limbs for those lost, or as supplements for other attacks, however other uses are not unheard of.
d.) Mindshock- A basic psychic-charged projectile energy blast, Mindshock can be released from either his hands, feet, or head. Its effect varies from time to time, but usually appears in the form of a concussive violet burst of energy.
e.) Energy Reflection- By concentrating psychic energy, Ezra can create a mirror-like wall of energy capable of reflecting energy attacks (including those generated by scientific weapons).
f.) Psychic Barrier- By concentrating even harder on his psychic power, Ezra can expand his psychic wall barriers to deflect physical attacks in addition to energy attacks. These include bullets, missiles, etc. However, this move takes more concentration than most, so its use is limited to extreme situations.
g.) Flash of Foresight- Another very taxing move, Ezra can sense a dangerous event seconds before it actually occurs. However, it is dangerous to use this ability as of now, as Ezra is quite inexperienced with it. Overuse could cause Ezra to lose control of his other powers...
h.) Impossible Flexibility- Though not a special power or supernatural by any means, years of developing his small, lithe body through gymnastics and acrobatics have enabled him to perform feats of flexibility that seem impossible to the everyday person, akin to a professional contortionist. In addition, he has taught himself to become ambidextrous, and can walk on his hands just as easily and naturally as his feet (although this doesn't look natural at all, now does it? =P).
i.) Psychic Hell- Ezra's most powerful psychic attack. It takes most of the boy's concentration to pull this move off, and his psychic abilities become totally dormant for a short period afterwards (2 posts in a RF, for example), but well worth the cost. Psychic Hell is an extremely potent energy attack, known at its highest concentration to be more than enough to level a small town. Its energy content is always of a concussive psychic nature (i.e. not an elemental attack), and manifests itself as either a beam or a sphere, launched from a location of Ezra's choice (as long as Ezra can see where he wants it to appear from).
Fighter's Weapons/Equipment:
Nothing except for a small first aid kit he keeps handy for emergencies.
Background:
Given up for adoption as an infant, Ezra spent most of his very short life in an orphanage in the province of Alberta, Canada. Adopted seven years ago by a newlywed couple from Minnesota, USA, Ezra has spent the better part of his life in the states, though he never really had a good time of it. At the orphanage, he had not only been the youngest there, but also the smallest. Unfortunately, in the States the problem continued...
He was always considered an outcast; his almost girlish face and effeminate nature had earned him the titles "queer" and "faggot". Meeting Ladd Benedict in Fourth Grade at Sunset Hill Elementary School, Ezra had finally found a friend... The following year, puberty began to kick in for the both of them, and it seemed apparent to both of them that they weren't going to start becoming attracted to girls... A certain private locker room event between the two of them after Ezra's gymnastics practice and Ladd's fencing tournament confirmed this undeniably... (but don't ask, it's none of your beezwax! =P)
Only six months prior to the 3rd Annual Tenkaichi Budokai, a crucially important event occurred. On the way home from school after choir practice ran late, Ezra found himself being chased mercilessly by a small group of KKK members. He felt like he must've run all night, all he could remember was their relentless, angry chanting, and the flaming crosses in their hands... He would never forget how they screamed throughout the night as he hid, dirty and frightened in the swampy wooded area behind Wayzata High School. They shouted every homophibic slur imaginable, even threatened to castrate him. Ezra had never been so scared in all his life...
...Until the klan caught up with him. Ezra would never forget the sight of the six foot three inch man creeping down the muddy hillside toward him, face covered by a white mask and pointed hood. In his hands, a rusty butcher knife and a glass jar full of fluid... Ezra was afraid to even ask himself what the man planned to put in the jar... Suddenly, the small boy felt a sort of enlightenment come over his mind and body, an "eruption" of sorts...
Before Ezra understood what had happened, the klansmen were running for their lives, and he was covered in some kind of glowing violet aura... Ezra's psychic powers had awakened...
Later, it was revealed that his best friend (later boyfriend), Ladd Benedict, was also gifted with psychic powers, and had used his impressive force as the catalyst to awaken Ezra's sleeping potential.
OOC Disclaimer: As Ezra has not yet gone through puberty, his "boyfriend" status with Ladd Benedict is based on "puppy-love", not actual romance in the adult sense. There has been confusion as to this specification, so I've decided to make certain it was clear from here on.
