Vishente

From 910 Arena Wiki

Vishente is an oddity. Originally he was designed to be a low powered fighter relying on intelligence, equipment, and three weak powers. The first of his powers was an equipment generation ability, the second was a minor pyschic influence and the thrid was a variant of immortality.
It was only after some time that The Phoenixian realized just how powerful his character's "equipment generator" really was.

In brief:
Vishente is the Phoenixian lord who personifies destruction. He is highly intelligent, of above average physical fitness, has the ability to weakly influence people's minds (which is rather useless in a fight due to some of its limitations), and uses a power that can reform matter to his will. Vishente also has a number of mechanical hands which have various special effects. His fighting style will vary heavily depending on his the environment, the resources available to him, and what he knows about his opponent.

Powers and Abilities

The Power

The Power is used for storing and generating equipment and for environmental modification. It can absorb matter from the surrounding environment in order to fuel its equipment generation and other processes.

More in depth, It is an artificial universe created by Vishente and capable of creating three dimensional portals that can activate to absorb or expel matter at will. These portals can be formed to their controller's wishes and are capable of forming complex shapes. Anything that is absorbed may be altered at weill though the nature and complexity of the alteration may cause it to take longer.

While they can reach any size, artificial universes created by Vishente are usually about 10 miles in diameter. at this size, they leave a sort of "weak spot" in the universe Vishente exists in about five miles in diameter, the "weak spot" is centered on Vishente and wile portals can be formed anywhere within in it requires progessively more power to form them further away from the center.

Due to limitations of a physical brain, those who use the power have only a limited ability to control the power naturally. Thus, the key to controlling the Power effectively lies in creating a machine designed to interface with whoever controls the universe and capable of manipulating reality. These machines interface with the mind effectively becoming a new part of it and granting the user the mental capacity needed to control the universe on a large scale. They require a constant supply of energy to function which usually comes as some form of energy that permeates the artificial universe. In Vishente's case, light. Whatever energy form is used, it will leak trough manifested portals.

The Power is limited in it's ability to absorb and change living beings, magical items, and sentients. The first two are simply harder to absorb and change but sentients are surrounded by an aura that interferes with the portals unless they have been specially modified or are close to the controller. Even if one with the Power does manage to absorb a sentient being it's almost impossible to change them in any way and there is a good chance they will gain the Power themselves if they remain there for more than a few hours. The same aura that surrounds a sentient also will affect thing they have recently touched.

Influence

As one who has The Power uses it more and more they can eventually gain the ability to manipulate the outer universe as well as created universes. In Vishente this manifested as his "Influence" the ability to control the minds of others. However, the same resistance as persons "Aura" provides against the Power also work on Influence and the vast majority of the effect is used simply to break through the barrier and potential mental domination is reduced to the creation of more subtle of passing thoughts. As such, it is more effective when the inspired thoughts are those target would naturally go along with.

Additionally Influence's power comes not from Vishente but from an energy shed by sentient beings.The number of people Vishente can take energy from is only limited by the energy already available to him but for in order to tap into this, the beings must be intending the destruction of something. (Not the desire for nor the act of destruction but the knowing intent to do so.)

Immortality

While it is possible, if difficult, to destroy Vishente's body, truly killing him is much more difficult as his Influence allows him to move his mind to the web of links he has with those who desire destruction or, if they are complex enough and designed for the purpose, to the machines he creates.

Physical capabilities

While the Power is not able to affect the bodies of others it can affect Vishente's own. If he has the resources, he can alter his body as needed or even keep it in working condition even when it has suffered massive damage. Vishente also has enough in depth knowledge of weapon systems, physics, and chemistry to develop a variety of weapons and devices on the fly.

Equipment

Mechanical hands

Vishente has multiple mechanical hands. Each hand is linked to an attachment point that allows them to be switched out very quickly.

Basic version:

Vishente's primary hand and the one he uses in everyday life. It has five fingers and is somewhat skeletal in appearance. It's construction and materials make it extraordinarily strong against conventional assaults although the tendency of supernatural or magically enhanced attacks to be more powerful than can overcome this. Retractile, diamond edged claws enable it to cut through most mundane materials. In addition, rocket nozzles can jet gases to increase strength or, after detaching from his wrist, flight and independent movement.

Arm mounted weaponry

If Vishente should lose his hand, for any reason, he will usually replace it with something else. This can be anything from flamethrowers to new hands to artillery pieces.

"Powered" armor

Vishente will frequently employ a rocket covered suit of armor. The rockets can allow it to be much heavier than he could normally lift while still allowing decent movement speeds. Alternatively, he will forgo the armor and use a light frame to which the rockets are attached allowing impressive strength and speed.

The Yikai Shanak

Vishente has acquired a small mecha which he finds occasional use for. Yikai Shanak
