Background

Powers

"I do not get my power from fancy weapons, genetic alterations or ancient tomes. My very essence is my power."
--Arcis

Aural Projection

Arcis possesses the ability to channel his aural essence as a corporeal energy field. The field's strength and appearance varies based on his resolve. Most notably, the stronger the foe and the more danger they present the stronger the amplification his abilities appear to give off.

Aural Shell

Arcis' aural field not only serves as the basis for his other abilities, but also provides a powerful defensive barrier. The field inhibits kinetic energy effectively rendering all but the heaviest physical attacks relatively harmless. Both bullets and blades alike bounce off the field, tank and artillery rounds leave him staggered but otherwise unphased, and due to the nature of the aural energy it also makes him highly resilient to energy based attacks and magic as well, going so far as to absorb the residual energies.

Flash Pulse

Arcis' most basic offensive attack. Channeling his energy down his arms Arcis' releases concentrated bursts of aural energy across short distances that impact against their target with just enough force to knock them off their feet but do no serious damage.

Aural Blades

His most favored ability and the one seen channeled the most. Arcis maintains corporeal flares of aural energy which he wields as if they were a pair of blades. These blades are non-lethal and pass through their targets, draining them of energy until they are to weak to fight.

Empathic Transfer

The regenerative energies of Arcis' aura can sometimes be amplified and transferred to another individual, rapidly enhancing their natural regenerative capabilities.

Shining Reproach

Should Arcis or his allies find themselves overwhelmed by their foes Arcis may amplify his aural field causing a powerful shockwave that casts away their foes, and the lingering energy gives him a radiantly imposing form.

Serenity Trance

Even normally, Arcis gives off a very calming energy that tends to lower the aggressiveness of anyone standing in his presence. However, when he concentrates hard enough on this ability he is actually able to render very large groups of individuals in a complete pacifistic trance that may eventually remove their willingness to fight all together.

Shining Touch

While Arcis' usual capacity to heal the wounds of others may serve well on many occasions, sometimes there are wounds just to great for natural regeneration to handle. At such a time, Arcis can call upon a full regenerative transfusion that casts away all but the most critical of injuries. Such an ability puts a strain on his aura, however, and the spent energy must be regained before the ability can be used again.

Life-Energy

One of Arcis' strongest regenerative abilities. Since an individual's aura is their vital force Arcis can utilize his extensive aural energy to jump-start the aura of a fallen individual, effectively bringing them back into the fight.

Additional Effects and Weaknesses

Flight

Since he naturally produces a powerful energy field Arcis is able to utilize the energy to lift himself into the air as a form of flight. He can also utilize smaller bursts of energy to launch himself short distances at great speeds.

Recompense

Arcis' Aural Blades have a unique property that none of his other abilities possess. As the blades pass through his foes, they leave traces of his aura that intermingle and disrupt their own. This has the effect of reducing their capacity to fight, but given a significant amount of his energy the effect can actually render all but the most powerful super powered individuals unable to utilize their powers.

Mortal

While his aural energy grants him an unquestionable level of defense, Arcis is anything but invincible. Should enough pressure be applied to his defenses he can be defeated, and if he is somehow rendered unconscious he is nothing more than an ordinary human. Though his barriers immediately return upon regaining consciousness.

Unyielding

Acris is a stubborn individual and a daunting target to take down, but do not let your guard down even if you fell him for he has been known on occasion to unleash a powerful surge of energy upon defeat that not only burns away any wounds you may have inflicted, but grants his aural abilities a surge of power that makes him even more dangerous.

There is a price to such an ability, however. Since Arcis has already been pushed past his natural limits in such cases the additional surge of energy has the potential to actually burn away his physical form.
