SEAN CASSIDY

SEAN CASSIDY

GENERAL INFO

POWERS & ABILITIES

Sean has Acoustikenesis, or the ability to create powerful sonic waves with his voice. He can use the waves in several different ways:

Echolocation: While underwater, Sean can send out waves and gain information about distant objects based on the wave that bounce back to him. 

Incapacitation: Sean's scream can be very loud and high-pitched, meaning that it can potentially send most humans to their knees. It can cause damage to eardrums and nausea in those nearby. 

Transportation: The waves are so strong that they can act as a physical solid, pushing off of objects with enough speed and strength to propel Sean backward. He can use this to fly although it took a lot of training to gain enough control for this to be safe. 

Destruction: As mentioned above, the waves are strong. They have the ability to shatter glass.

Because he has the ability to create such intense sounds, Sean's eardrums are superhuman and able to handle very loud noises. His vocal cords are also able to handle a superhuman amount of stress without tiring or becoming hoarse. On the other side, Sean can grow tired after excessive use and it is possible for him to get a sore throat. This could be potentially dangerous in situations where he is high in the air. Just like just about every muscle in everyone's body, his need rest at times.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE

jude wasn't usually a clumsy person. a little awkward, maybe, but he'd been tall since he was like eight so he generally lived by the rule of 'never lift your head too quickly.'

today, he was too busy to remember.

it was the beginning of his shift at the library and he had a stack of books he was shelving. a shelf in front of him was too tight and so he pulled out a few books, preparing to shift the following shelf to make a little extra room. a few books got pushed back behind the shelf and fell between some lower shelves.

jude knelt down, reaching his arm down behind the shelves while blindly feeling around for the fallen books. his movement was a bit too much for a shelf above him and a couple of books fell to the floor, hitting his back on the way down.

instinctively, he went to stand up before his head was in the clear from the shelf above him and he knocked the whole thing over, stumbling backward and putting his arms over his head to avoid a TBI.

"oookay, uh--" he muttered, sitting up and looking around to assess the damage. to his absolute horror, a person was standing in front of him. one thing he hated about being deaf-- it was really easy to sneak up on him.

"oh, god. did i hit you? the avalanche was... it was an accident. i'm sorry," he rambled.

"this is why you don't talk," he thought to himself as his face flushed.
