Preferred color: Red and Blue Darwin status: Freak Power Tier: Two Power Type: Energy Core ability: Can control the forces holding non-living things together, this includes dead beings as well but only after they are dead. Powered Skills: - This allows him to make paper as hard as steel and steel as weak as paper.
- By quickly weakening and strengthening a material he can cause a small explosion.
- By using this property on small parts of an object he can turn those objects into projectiles. However this takes a lot of time or has a 60 percent accuracy as he has to calculate the angle and energy of his projectiles.
Skills: - Skilled programmer and is quite adept at hacking and braking into systems.
- Well versed in mathematics.
- Very good con artist and social engineering.
- Intermediate Close quarters combat.
- Intermediate Swordsmanship
Training: muay thai, Krav Maga and Kendo. Education: Degree in Computer Engineering. Relationship status: Single. Job: Former Engineer at the Pride Initiative Tower and now Field Agent. Goal: Find his younger brother who has been missing ever since the freak craze took hold of the middle east and bring him to Alantus so that he may have a choice to live a better life. Hardship: Believing in himself that he can do more to find his power and help in the search of his power. That and he is a bit terrified of the hero world and the violence it brings and has grown too comfortable in his current situation. Greatest Fear: Losing his brother, heights, spiders.

So technically his power is manipulation of molecular bonds. Tightening or loosening the molecules that hold an object together.
And the firing of projectiles sounds like a function of pressure. Like screwing a cap onto a waterbottle and twisting it till the air pressure blows the cap off.
I like using psuedo science in my world. Getting to the almost possible. Your ability sounds about right though id have to better understand how you see him put it to use. Care to elaborate a bit more on it.

Well mostly he uses it for defensive purposes like making his clothes bullet or increasing the strength of ordinary objects to withstand super powered attacks. He can also use ordinary objects as weapons by making wood or stuff like that hard as steel to attack others. He can also use it for evasive purposes like breaking the floor of his enemies are standing on. However he has to be in contact with whatever he is touching to strengthen or weaken it. The reason that he can strengthen and weaken non living things is that they are usually not going through a significant change in their structure so his powers would not work on materials are already experiencing changes in their structure for example he can strengthen a steel before it is super heated to block against a flame or heat attack but could not strengthen it if it is already heated, same thing if it is already being cooled or has electricity flowing through it. However when it comes to mixed systems like a robot he can only effect those parts that are not having a major transfer of heat or electricity in them, so he can affect the all the mechanical parts of a robot or a machine but non of it's circuitry which has electricity or he could affect that robots weapon provided that the body of the weapon is not transferring energy. His abilities can also affect dead beings provided they are not decomposing so he could always wip out a giant fist and use it as a sword. The projectile works by creating a small explosion in an object that propels it forward, because the area he is exploding is so small he can increase the rate strengthening and weakening resulting in a more powerful explosion. like a canon being launched with gun powder.
I think that should do it.
I also heard there is still some activity going on in the 18+ section. Is it ok if I join, I'm 20 if that helps.

the firing projectile part is what doesn't quite fit... like the ability is tacked on as opposed to being 'apart of'. I don't understand the possible mechanics of it... HOW does strengthening and weakening something 'fire' a projectile exactly? (is what I'm asking)

Well think of it like this energy has to be absorbed from the surrounding area to make stronger bonds in the same way that energy is released in to the surrounding area when the bonds are weakened. So if he takes in a lot of energy and then releases it quickly I think he could cause a small explosion.

So it's more of a side effect of his powers

If that still doesn't work. Then I'm ok with just removing the projectile bit.
