− | <center> | + | <center>Darrell Trevors was born as the first and only child of Janice and Darren Trevors in North Detroit, Millennium City. Despite his parents' respectable professions with his mom being a registered nurse (R.N.) and his father as a skilled tradesman, the family was primarily brought up in the low-income neighborhood of '''The Grove''', a crime-ridden slum of [[Millennium City]] that was often ignored by both the city government and '''Mayor Biselle'''. The borough eventually became the home to many of Millennium City's lower-class citizens and local street gangs such as the '''Maniacs''' and the '''Black Aces'''. This overall mistreatment and lack of empathy towards the city's less fortunate residents made Darrell come to develop a certain disdain towards Millennium City's upper-class elites, such as [[Defender|James Harmon]] of '''Harmon Industries'''. Instilling within him a sense of hard work, merit, and dedication could get you to where you wanted to be, rather than to have it handed to you.</center> |

− | <center> | + | <center>Darrell's parents would eventually wind up getting a divorce while he was three years old and with no other male role model in his life, Janice did her best to make sure her son didn't wind up falling into the local gang(s) of misfits that largely consisted of young Black/African-American males like Darrell. As a nurse, she saw many of these same kids that were out on the streets one day would end up in the emergency room, in either critical condition or dead, from the "friends" they affiliated themselves with. It was tragedies such as this that made Janice stressed the importance of hard work, studying, and choosing your friends wisely.</center><br><br> |
− | <center> | + | <center>While he did have his moments of freedom, Darrell's childhood was mostly uneventful, as he had led a very sheltered life with little friends and recreation outside playing video games and watching movies. His countless hours of computer time led to him developing an affinity for software development and programming, as noted by Janice, who would ultimately decided to sign Darrell up for a couple of computer classes at the local community center.</center> |

− | <center>''' | + | <center>Whilst taking classes at the community center, Darrell met another student named '''Russell Lyman''' who, like him, didn't have many friends but also "knew his way around a keyboard" so his mother also pursuaded him into signing up for computer classes. A friendship quickly formed between the two boys and eventually began working on a personal side project called '''R4gn%r0k''' after they completed their lessons for the day at the center. R4gn%r0k was supposed to be a malware application that was only meant to test the young programmers' newly acquired computer skills but turned into the proof needed for Russell to begin working with an underground cyber-terrorist group known as '''eLite_Circuit'''. Russell convinced Darrell to join the group by selling him a false story of eLite_Circuit being a hacktivist group set on exposing the lies and corruption that plagues Millennium City's underbelly, which Darrell ultimately did agree to join his friend in this supposed noble cause for social reform and justice.</center><br><br> |
− | <center>''' | + | <center>For months, Darrell and Russell ran alongside eLite_Circuit members '''Ramsey Deacon''', '''Eugene Hawkins''', and '''Kristen Ladner''' carrying out tech heists across the city. This was all being done while efforts were being made behind the scenes to turn R4gn%r0k into a virus that would be used to carry out a cyber attack on Millennium City by shutting down '''SOCRATES''' and taking control of the city's entire infrastructure. The biggest heist that the group would carry out would be against a fledgling R&D company called Dynamic Innovations founded by ex-[[PRIMUS]] agents Elmer Bradley and Eric Williams, formerly known as the tech heroes known as '''Golden Gizmo''' and '''The Machinist'''. Apparently, Russell got intel that Dynamic Innovations secured a shipment containing possible energy weaponry and gadgets that could help "sway" public opinion in their favor against increased production and implementation of meta-tech in the city.</center> |

− | <center> | + | <center>On the night in which the break-in at Dynamic Innovations was attempted things went smoothly in the beginning with eLite_Circuit managing to raid the company's personal databases and datamine everything from emails and order shipments to stock reports/records of incoming products. But things did eventually go south when a silent alarm was tripped and alerted the building's security about the group's presence inside. They quickly made a getaway but not before Darrell downloads a secret project he finds deep within one of the office's computers titled, '''"Phantom Equation"''', to a thumb-drive and makes a run for it, but winds up tripping and losing the mask he wore in the process. He quickly recovered by Russell who proceeded to help shield Darrell's face from any security cameras and hightail it back to the group's hideout known as the "'''Hackerspace'''."</center><br><br> |
− | <center> | + | <center>The group celebrates their victory and close encounter with law enforcement with some comradery at the hackerspace. After a long night of partying, mostly everyone was passed out asleep except for Darrell who had been investigating the Phantom Equation and trying to decipher its odd coding sequence. He's then discovered by Russell who then questions him about the program, believing it to be another side project he had picked up during his tenure with eLite_Circuit. While Darrell clarifies on what the Phantom Equation is and where he got it, he was visibly frustrated with trying to figure out its origins and why was it hidden away on one of Dynamic Innovations' computers. Realizing his friend's growing frustration, Russell leads Darrell away from his laptop in order to get some sleep and come back to the Equation another time.</center><br><br> |
− | <center> | + | <center>Its never stated when, but Darrell did eventually figure out that the Phantom Equation was actually a complex coding algorithm that worked off a set of "invisible numbers" which, once properly deciphered, could turn the Equation into a Class-5 "super virus." Darrell sat on this information for months until he finally came to learn the truth about eLite_Circuit actually being a cyber-terrorist group and that his best friend had been lying to him this whole time. Feeling betrayed and personably responsible to shut down the group's main objective to take control of the city's power grid, Darrell decided to weaponize the Phantom Equation and use it to sabotage and destroy eLite_Circuits pirate servers they had been setting up in different boroughs throughout the city.</center><br><br> |

− | <center> | + | <center>This effort proved fruitful as Darrell uploaded a viral worm to all of eLite_Circuit's server farms they had spent the last 6-to-8 months setting up and destroying various hackerspaces they also established, the final nail in the coffin was to just upload the Phantom Equation to their main server which was stored in a derelict warehouse close to the Millennium City docks. It was on this night that everything changed for the worse. When Darrell was nearly finished uploading the virus to the main server, he was finally caught in the act by Russell and the other eLite_Circuit members. They had deduced that it had to have been him destroying their entire operation with Russell correctly figuring out that Darrell must've learned about their true intentions for Millennium City. A discussion was initiated and attempts were made to get to Darrell to stop what he was doing but it was too late. The Phantom Equation had completed its upload into main server which kicked it into overdrive and not long thereafter, the server began to spark and go haywire. A violent explosion rocked the warehouse to its core, sending out a wave of energy into the room and knocking everyone unconscious.</center><br><br> |

− | <center> | + | <center>Darrell slipped in and out consciousness a few short moments after the server's detonation, but for the moments that he could recall, he saw his former "friends" pick themselves off the ground with what looked like electricity crackling off their forms before he passed out again. This time when Darrell regained consciousness, he was in a laboratory and as it turned out, he had been recovered by Elmer Bradley and Eric Williams of Dynamic Innovations. Turned out one of their security cameras did catch a quick glimpse of his face during eLite_Circuit's botched break-in at their facility but they mainly interrogated Darrell about the Phantom Equation, why he took it, and what it really was.</center><br><br> |
− | + | <center>The Phantom Equation was a complex algorithm as Darrell theorized created by the lowbie cyberkinetic villain known as, '''Cybercide'''. He created it as an extention of his '''Cybercide Derivative''' formula, a serum that granted him technopathic abilities. The Phantom Equation was supposed to be a hybridization of science and, what Cybercide described as, ''"the weird"'' so that it could be uploaded into his hardware and expand his already vast arsenal of abilities. Since the Phantom Equation was never meant for integration with anything that wasn't Cybercide's elaborate hardware, the mass surge of "virtual energy" overwhelmed the server Darrell uploaded it to, resulting in the explosion that gave him his powers. Eli and Eric had been trying to locate eLite_Circuit for months with no avail, it was only through Darrell's efforts in shutting down their server farms and hackerspaces that the two scientists were able to finally get a ping on them.</center><br><br> | |

− | <center>''' | + | <center>Now there were bigger problems at stake as Ramsey, Eugene, and Kristen took to the streets as '''Firewall''', '''Trojan''', and '''Uplink''' respectively and began carrying out more heinous crimes throughout the city possessing what appeared to be different variations of digital-based powers. Their newfound abilities allowed them to no longer hide behind keyboards in order to enact their plans of a city-wide takeover and since Darrell was the one who unleashed the virus that gave them their powers, he was going to be the one to stop them and bring them back to Dynamic Innovations for further study and possible curing of their meta-abilities. Darrell begrudgingly agreed to working with Dynamic Innovations in apprehending his former allies, though a thought would continue to loom in the back of his head as to whatever happened to Russell as so far he was nowhere to be accounted for despite being present at the event that gave them their powers. Either way, Darrell dedicated the next several months training and learning how to use his own digital powers.</center><br><br> |
− | <center> | + | <center>With each passing day, the Millennium City News reported on another recent attack orchestrated by either Firewall, Trojan, or Uplink. It had appeared that they grew confident enough in their abilities to where they could handle themselves individually rather than working as a team during most of their heists and escapades. It was time for Darrell to make his debut as he had felt that not only was he ready to finally take down eLite_Circuit once but he was the one at fault for creating these monsters in the first place and he was going to be the one that put them away for good. Initially throwing together a makeshift costume and, with the help of Eric, designing a high-tech mask that would not only disguise his face and voice, but could also project his current facial expression in the form of emoticons on it's visor, Darrell had all that was needed to become Millennium City's Virtual Vigilante and from that day forward, Darrell became known to the world as...</center> |

− | + | <center>Darrell Trevors is a relatively handsome young man in his early-twenties, standing at 5'11" and weighing about 160 lbs. Having a rather average build, Darrell is particularly fit for someone who lacks a regular workout routine and healthy diet — though it has been implied that years of being a picky eater has led to him consuming far less foodstuffs containing high amounts fats and sugars. While he isn't the most extroverted person some might cross paths with, Darrell seems to have a calming aura about him that allows those who choose to talk to him feel at peace and maintain a tranquil emotional state. Originally, Darrell had a close-cut hairstyle that he decided to let grow out and be fashioned into a more curly, spiky-topped style within the last year. In the time, he's also grown out some facial hair as well, in the form of a soul patch that sits perfecting at the center cleft of his chin. Darrell's sense of style has also changed somewhat in the time since becoming a superhero and joining up with the Quantum League. Where he originally wore graphic t-shirts and jeans, he's swapped out for more "dress casual" attire that will consist of flannel shirts with rolled sleeves and jeans or button-up shirts with khakis, along with some Timberland boots or an ordinary pair of sneakers. Comfort is nothing but utmost importance to Darrell, as he enjoys the feeling of loose-fitting clothes and nothing that limits or restricts his movements in any way, shape, or form.</center> | |

− | + | <center>As Glitch, Darrell's attire has seen some design overhauls within the last year or two of becoming a hero. Originally, Darrell's "vigilante/homemade" costume when he was out as Glitch consisted of a blue jacket with the sleeves rolled up, a gray hoodie with a power emblem on the chest, black cargo pants tucked into brown combat boots, and a mask of his own design that was known to project emoticons that reflected his current facial expression behind it. This was later swapped out for an upgraded variant that had a more "cyberpunk" influence to it after he joined and became an officer in the Quantum League. This upgrade saw Darrell replace the blue jacket for a trench coat that was primarily blue, with green, gray, and green accents. Beneath it, Darrell wore a tactical suit that was outfitted with ballistic and flame-resistant material to protect Darrell from the more conventional weapons that could be found among the gangs in Millennium City. The combat boots would also be replaced with metallic boots that used Gadroon anti-gravity technology that would allow him to slide across the floor with the slightest push, this particular invention would come to be recognized as the Velociskates. This suit is also remembered for its inclusion of a wrist computer that allowed Darrell to constantly have the internet at his fingertips to hack objects remotely, listen to music, search for active crimes in progress, etc.</center> | |

− | + | <center>For a short period, Darrell joined up with a Vibora Bay resistance group by the name of OUTBreak and his outfit temporarily changed to a yellow leather jacket, beige khaki pants with red sneakers, and backwards-fitting baseball hat, rather than his signature hood. His mask would also see a color change from its usual orange visor to a green one instead. The latest revision to Glitch's costume fits the classic spandex superhero aesthetic. A form-fitting bodysuit with a blue, orange, green, black, and gray color scheme. The boots now have been replaced for a pair of custom-made sneakers that fit the costume's color palette but still reuse the anti-grav technology from the previous suit.</center> | |

Spending the majority of his time playing video games and browsing the internet did more harm then good as he grow to become a very shy and timid person. By the time he graduated high school, however, he overcame this limitation more-and-more by the time he got his first job in customer service where he had to interact with people on a daily basis. Still incredibly shy, Darrell seems to exert a lot more energy when he's around those he considers friends where he will become a lot more talkative then usual and open to cracking jokes whenever he can. Darrell is perceived by most as a kind soul with the swagger of a gentleman. Most find themselves gravitating toward him purely due to his down-to-earth demeanor and ability to remain levelheaded in times of extreme stress or turmoil. His affinity for computers and software development has led to Darrell becoming far more analytical than the average person, always preparing for whats to come ahead in the future. Occasionally, Darrell will go periods of time without talking or speaking when in a large group of people, where most would perceive this as "zoning out" is actually him carefully examining and creating a mental profile of the people he's surrounded by. Learning more about them through their words, thoughts, and actions. Ever since joining the Quantum League, Darrell's confidence has even seen a major boost as he's more willing to take part in playful banter and jokes with some of the team's more serious and stern members of the group. His ability to turn this off and get serious; focusing on the mission at hand, garners much respect from other members as well, as it showcases his sense of determination and dedication to seeing a mission through to end.</center> |

− | <center> | + | <center>Normally, there would be a tonal shift in the personality a hero displays in-or-out of costume, but for Darrell there doesn't seem to be that much of a difference. As Glitch, Darrell maintains the confident and playful banter with his friends as much as he can, but when surrounded by new faces he tries to adopt a more distant and cold "vigilante" personality. The hooded masked figure with an inhuman, modulated voice that no one can get a read on due to his costume concealing every inch of his person. In the field, Glitch fights like every super-villain encounter will be his last and when his team is up against a threat they show no signs of defeating, he isn't afraid of resorting to retreat tactics and fighting the fight another day. Darrell's morals as a superhero is to always try and save as many people as he can if its possible, but despite his heroic alignment, he also isn't afraid that darker methods or alternatives might need to be taken into consideration depending on the threat at hand. As Glitch, Darrell becomes very goal-oriented and sees to that a threat must be stopped by whatever means necessary and this thought process was birthed from his time as a hacktivist and lacked super-powers. All-in-all, Darrell doesn't see the world in black and white all the time and sometimes like to look at things from a gray perspective as leaning heavily into the "good and/or bad" can lead to the enemy taking advantage of you and your moment of weakness to get the drop on you or anyone else. This is a side of Darrell that he secretly despises and hopes he doesn't have to reveal it to his friends as he knows it will lead to some form of civil unrest amongst his team's leadership and members alike.</center> |

− | <center> | + | <center>As Glitch, Darrell always seems to display this exuberant sense of bravery and righteousness thats balanced with a playful and quick-witted sense of humor. This oftentimes leads to him making a variety of wise-cracks in battle or during some tense situations, but his ability to read a room and know when its time to get serious speaks volumes on the social skills he once lacked during his youth. Always viewed as the shy and quiet kid with no friends, Darrell longed for a chance or an opportunity to "rewrite" himself as someone else who wasn't shy and timid nearly all the time, as Glitch he takes full advantage of this because of two things: The mask and new people he's come to meet ever since he became a superhero. In the time sense graduating high school and moving further into Millennium City to start attending university, Darrell has adopted this charming demeanor that makes him nearly irresistible to men and women of the like. He's no [[Defender|James Harmon]] when it comes down to looks, but his personality is magnetic both in-and-out of the suit, which finds developing a quite a few flings with certain people. The question of whether or not, Darrell chooses to act on these opportunities is purely up to debate.<br><br></center> |

+ | <center>Despite all of this though, Glitch is still traditionally a loner and rarely finds himself hanging out with anyone, especially his own teammates. He oftentimes feels like he brings little to a conversation or hangout and would much rather stay home than to be anyone's burden. Even though he finds a second home in the Quantum League, there is a part of him that still finds it hard to work in a time and prove to be useful. Darrell typically fears for the day when he technological expertise hits its limit and he stumbles onto something he can't figure out, fix, or hack. Lacking the typical technopathic abilities most heroes like him are shown to possess, Darrell is afraid for what is to come or happen if he encounters tech that is beyond his knowledge. However, it should also be noted that Darrell is still an optimist most of the time whenever faced with an extreme difficulty or uncertainty. His ability to maintain a positive spirit even in the worse of times is something to be applauded as it shows that he isn't quick to give up on hope and every bump in the road is merely another obstacle that will aid in the development of everyone's character and experience. Darrell's strong will, even in the face of defeat, keeps him on his feet and refusing to stay down until he's faced with his last dying breath. This comes from a place where Darrell believes that not only is he going to die trying/fighting, but he's going to die standing up for what he believed in; remembering that he went out with only the purest of intentions.</center> | ||

+ | <center>When Darrell solved the Phantom Equation, he unleashed something that could only be described as ''"preternatural"'' - a virus composed purely of data and energy that gifted him his arsenal of digital powers. Contrary to what many might think, believe, or assume, Darrell actually is '''''not''''' a technopath and cannot control technology, instead he can manipulate a still-unknown wavelength of energy that allows him to replicate technical faults and glitches commonly found in video games or computer software. Its believed, or better yet theorized, that Glitch's powers work via the manipulation of virtual particles and enthalpy in a given system or object; therefore, allowing him to mimic a variety of glitches and cheats experienced in video games in real life. This can range from '''noclip''', the ability to pass through objects, '''tele-frag''', the ability to teleport into the current position that being occupied by another person, '''lagging''', a delay in frame-rate processing that makes people experience slowed/hindered movement, and '''"rubberbanding"''', a hiccup in network latency that results in subjects "bouncing" to their appropriate destination due to client/server desynchronization. This is just to name a few of the many glitches that Darrell can replicate with his powers alone, but they aren't limited to just them. Some of his more exhaustive powers and abilities include:</center> | ||

− | <center><b> | + | <center><b>Virtual Enthalpy Manipulation</b>:</center><br> <center>Darrell's altered physiology through the Phantom Equation granted him the ability to warp reality through electrical anomalies created through the harnessing of interactive orange-and-white data pixels. These pixels, despite their appearance, are actually a concentrated collection of virtual photons, molecules, and atoms that can be used to interact with the world and cause disruptions to biological or technological systems via the quantum fluctuation and excitation in particles that make up the physical characteristics within an object or person. The most common application and usage of these abilities consist of Darrell's signature "Torrent Blasts" which is the firing of a continuous stream of pixelated energy at a distant target, turning himself invisible, perform short bursts of teleportation on himself, objects, and people, as well as "shift" his state of matter to one that's lighter than air in order to acquire the power of intangibility and like his teleportation, is an ability that can also be shared with others. |
− | + | Darrell can also use his data pixels to shape and create holographic weaponry and force-fields, a trait likely carried over by the compiled data taken from the VR machine that acted as a schematic for his powers to be based on. Finally, Darrell's abilities allow him to emulate technological glitches and malfunctions seen in machinery and computer softwares, some of these capabilities include but certainly aren't limited to: rendering weapons inert, cause heavy machinery to either break down or malfunction, or even manipulate a person's overall motor-skills so that they can be used against them; oftentimes referring to this technique as a "glitch" in the individual's system. | |
− | + | However, despite the seemingly endless array of powers he seems to possess, Darrell's abilities come with the major downside of leaving him drained of his own internal energy if he's to go too far beyond his personal threshold. Once this happens, Darrell is forced to fall back and work out an alternate plan of attack at least until he regains his strength and energy again. | |

+ | |||
+ | *<b>Databending</b>: Darrell can use virtual energy to freely warp the "information" (molecules) inside an object in order to create or turn them into real life glitches and pixelations. This process is known as "databending" or "datamoshing" and usually puts the object "out of phase" with reality thus rendering its tangibility temporarily inert/non-existent until the glitch effect wears off naturally or when Darrell decides to lift it himself. Either way, this technique is a common ploy used by Darrell to prevent enemies from gaining access to lethal weaponry that can harm either him, bystanders, or just pose a possible collateral damage risk to the surrounding environment. | ||
+ | |||
+ | *<b>Equipment Malfunction</b>: Darrell can manipulate his data pixels to override the performance of any piece of equipment and cause it to malfunction. This ability isn’t always guaranteed though as varying pieces of equipment or machinery experience different effects. Most of the time, the malfunction or “glitch” that's put in place is never permanent and the equipment in question will usually revert to normal operation(s) after a few minutes or seconds. Due to this drawback, this ability is often reserved for moments where a quick escape or distraction is needed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | *<b>Lag Inducement</b>: Darrall’s harnessing of virtual particles allows him to use them to create ‘disruptions' in the speed of molecules that make up a person’s entire being. Because of this, Darrell can decelerate the overall flow of a person’s molecules and simulate a “lag” effect where the individual moves at a much slower pace than normal before their original speed and momentum “snaps back” to the rate it was originally performing at. | ||
+ | |||
+ | *<b>Logic Bomb Creation</b>: Darrell can set off "bombs" of tightly compacted pixels and data bursts that can explode into a wave of concussive energy upon its detonation; scrambling the senses and mental faculties of his target. This typically leaves his enemies temporarily unable to think, speak, read, or recognize familiar faces for about thirty-seconds to a minute before the effects of the "Logic Bomb" wear off. | ||
+ | |||
+ | *<b>System Crash/Override</b>: Sometimes referred to as the “Big Bang”, Darrell, with the enough harnessing of virtual energy, can completely override and crash a technology system and render it completely useless and inert. This essentially is a naturally-made EMP-like effect that Darrell only uses in the most dire of situations and because of its extreme nature, it typically leaves him drained of energy. As a result, this power is yet another last resort/ditch effort whenever Darrell finds that he needs to end a particular conflict quickly. | ||
+ | |||
+ | *<b>Weapons Jam</b>: An easier and rather simplistic use of his powers, Darrell can effectively “jam” most weapons by using virtual energy to interfere with the kinetic, muzzle, and potential energies that are used when readying and aiming a firearm of any caliber. | ||
------ | ------ | ||
− | *<b> | + | *<b>AR-Camouflage</b>: By rearranging his molecular structure, Darrell can use his data pixels as a "mirror" in order to forcibly reflect light off of him, therefore allowing him to simulate the same effects granted through AR (Augmented Reality) to achieve temporary invisibility.Through this power, Darrell can, including his clothes, blend into his surroundings; thus allowing him to sneak up on his enemies or, in some cases, flee from them. |
− | + | ||
------ | ------ | ||
− | *<b> | + | *<b>Phase-Shifting</b>: The process that Darrell recognizes as "phase-shifting" is, in reality, temporal displacement & isolation. A phenomenon where the user shifts the flow of time around either themselves, a person, object, or general area so that they will be rendered intangible to everything outside their initial (starting) temporal phase. Once this happens, a prismatic afterimages of the object or individual is mirrored back in their starting temporal phase, making it appear as though they're "flickering" or "glitching" in-and-out of reality. This ability is also selective, meaning that Darrell can make individual parts of his person intangible if he really wanted to. He can also disrupt electronics and physical matter, including those possessing invulnerability, with this method of selective phasing in order to quickly dispatch enemy targets by severing material particle bonds. |
------ | ------ | ||
− | *<b> | + | *<b>Data Propagation</b>: Darrell can manipulate virtual particles to tear cracks in space-time, or “shortcuts” in order to achieve feats of teleportation. By utilizing tele-transportational radiation, Darrell’s shortcut rifts can disassemble matter or energy into its finest components and reassemble them upon arrival at his/their desired location. |
+ | **<b>Tele-Frag</b>: An offensive use of his teleportation abilities, Darrell can “tele-frag” himself in the exact location in which an enemy target is standing and forcefully push them out of the way. | ||
------ | ------ | ||
− | *<b> | + | *<b>Holographic Projections</b>: Darrell can create solid three-dimensional items from artificial light in order to manifest hard-light constructs. These constructs have come to be known as Holographic Projections, or Holo-Projections for short. It is through these Holo-Projections that Darrell can create anything such as shields, weapons, or illusions to better suit him for offensive or defensive combat. The Holo-Projections also possess their own audio capabilities in order to give sound to some of Darrell's more complex constructs and they are fueled by the electrostatic energy he has previously absorbed from a nearby electronic or object that runs on electrical power. Darrell can also selectively choose whether they are either tangible or intangible by casting a wireframe within them that allows them to maintain their cohesion and stability. When these holograms are created they either take the form of translucent constructs with a circuitry overlay running throughout their form or, depending on the frequency, a photo-realistic image or visage over the hologram in order to create a distraction that'll divert enemy attention away from Darrell and/or his allies. The only limit to the projections is Darrell's own imagination and how much energy is left in the tank to create bigger and more powerful projections. |
− | + | **<b>AR-Construct Creation</b>: Perhaps the most common usage of his holo-projections, Darrell can create digital AR constructs of various weapons, tools, and equipment for him to use in either ranged or melee combat. Like his force fields, these projections are naturally strong and incredibly resilient to most alternate forms of offensive energy or attacks, though an overwhelming amount of force and/or power can cause Darrell to “drop” his construct(s) and make them dissipate into virtual particles again. | |
+ | **<b>Force-Field Creation</b>: Darrell can emit holographic force fields of varying sizes in order to protect either himself or allies from oncoming attacks. The force fields are incredibly strong despite their appearance, they are both flame and bullet resistant. | ||
+ | **<b>Holographic Decoys</b>: While it takes some time to actually get right, especially on the first try, Darrell can create holographic decoys of himself or others in order to get the drop on unsuspecting enemies. Their base form is usually that of a hard-light projection with a circuitry overlay running throughout their form, but Darrell can impose an image and or form to said projection in order to make it look more “real” and lifelike. | ||
+ | **<b>Simulated Battlefield</b>: An extreme usage of his holo-projections, Darrell can actually create an entire simulated battlefield or arena and super-impose that fake reality onto the real world. This is an ability that's rarely seen or utilized due to its “overpowered” nature as well as the nature of its capabilities are far too taxing for Darrell to handle at this point in time. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ------ | ||
+ | |||
+ | *<b>Diagnostic Signal</b>: Darrell's appears to possess an extraordinary sixth sense that allows his mind to operate like an analytical engine, capable of detecting and rapidly responding to perturbations going on in the world around him related to his current positioning (i.e. the space, room, or location he would be occupying at that particular moment). This ability is described by Darrell as a "static-like" sensation that starts in the back of his head and moves throughout his entire body, growing stronger and "louder" the closer he is to making an optimal choice in his own critical thinking skills. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sometimes known as “Signaling”, Darrell recognizes it moreso as a "diagnostic sweep" of his current environment that starts with what feels like a subtle "thunk" in the back of his head which is actually his brain automatically sending out a neural pulse that parses his surroundings by absorbing cascading data and energy coming in from the world around him. Then, through a complex mental algorithm, multiple information streams (e.g. threat assessment, global positioning, observational, and situational awareness) are generated that allow Darrell to swiftly analyze and rapidly respond to changing tactical situations, by identifying the variables and adjusting the outcome to whichever is most favorable to him. | ||
+ | |||
+ | While this ability isn't a "danger sense" per se, it does provide Darrell with the means of analyzing, identifying and critically evaluating a potential threat or outcome at a subconscious level before acting upon it. Darrell's diagnostic signal acts more so as a means of providing him with a heightened awareness of his surroundings, situation, and possible outcomes that might result in heavy collateral damage or even death if there is to ever be a lack in his own critical thinking. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This doesn't go without saying that Darrell can also elect to "ignore" his signal sense and operate against it. The pulse would appear to have an intelligence of its own and will occasionally only relay outcomes that benefit Darrell specifically and not those around him, thus implying that this power isn't always reliable in the best (or worst) of times as it'll sometimes put Darrell's well-being over those he is trying to protect and/or save. | ||
+ | |||
------ | ------ | ||
*<b>Superhuman Durability</b>: It would appear that Darrell possesses some lower-tier enhanced durability. Allowing him to survive the most deadly of impacts and collisions. | *<b>Superhuman Durability</b>: It would appear that Darrell possesses some lower-tier enhanced durability.

+ | |||
+ | ------ | ||
+ | |||
+ | *<b>Accelerated Recovery Rate</b>: Darrell's body appears to heal and recover from most extensive injuries at a much faster rate than normal humans can. Much to his chagrin, Darrell dislikes calling it a "healing factor" as it would appear that most injuries aren't instantly healed in a matter of minutes or hours, but over the course of a full night's rest. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This would imply that rather than a proper healing factor, Darrell actually possesses an accelerated recovery rate that sees him capable of having quick "turnaround" periods to bounce back from most minimal-to-severe injuries so long as he's given the ample time to rest. In layman's terms, Darrell's natural healing is still the same as any other humans, but the rate of recovery that would see him back in fighting shape is what is truly "enhanced" about him. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This power also provides Darrell with a heightened immune system that renders him less susceptible to most forms of drugs and/or toxins that are to find themselves in his bloodstream. | ||

− | <center> | + | <center>Besides his trademark skills as an expert computer hacker and programmer, Darrell has displayed other noteworthy strengths in his time since becoming a superhero. The most apparent on his indomitable will and sense of humor. While Darrell has fallen victim to mind control at least once so far, his thoughts and mind space are completely void of inherently evil intentions. He tries to avoid fights if he can, especially when a dangerous metahuman is yet to take any lives of the people they're endangering thus far, when he is forced to go on the offensive, Darrell usually resorts to using holo-projections to avoid, from any, collateral damage. Even when in the face of the defeat, Darrell will continue valiantly in his efforts to see a mission through to the end unless the fight is truly lost and retreat tactics are needed to be considered. This leads into another resourceful trait of Darrell's, which is his expertise as a skilled tactician. Quick to analyze most metahumans' powers while they're in use, Darrell will usually try to figure out the best plan of attack, counter-attack, or defensive maneuver, depending on the individual he's fighting. He's also takes a metahuman's physiology into account as well, figuring out ways to distort a person's senses or halt their breathing if it means bringing their onslaught to a temporary standstill. It is due of this that Darrell's gifted-level intellect oftentimes has him mistaken for a "genius", though his humble demeanor will never let him rightfully claim this statement as true. Its because of his intellect that Darrell's been able to hone his skills as an expert engineer and inventor to aid in him creating his large assortment of gadgets and arsenal that he's close-to-never seen without when donning his costume. His natural talent for science, mechanics, engineering, and computer science has earned him scholarships and places, among many think-tanks, for various technology company Millennium City; offers that Darrell has ultimately had to refuse due to his commitments as Glitch. Though this level of scientific expertise doesn't go unused or noticed by others as he has helped create plenty of technologies such as several variations of costumes he's worn as Glitch and has even donated some of his more innovative gadgets to companies so they can study and develop their own tech using his as a blueprint.</center><br><br> |
− | [[Image: | + | [[Image:Archetype Button Impulse.png|center|65px]]<br><br>''''' |
− | <center> | + | <center>It's needless to say that despite the few shortcomings that he has, Darrell tries to stay both humble and headstrong in his efforts to keep both himself and his team motivated. Speaking of which, Darrell charisma, passion, and empathy is rivaled by few, as he can relate with most people, in some way or another, about a problem or dilemma they're experiencing. While not the greatest "pep talker" or motivational coach around, Darrell always seems to know what to say that will aid in bringing someone's spirits back up after having them dropped to a significantly low point. A firm believer in "words matter", Darrell likes to make sure his speeches always contain or end with a message that allows for a moment of self-reflection and reconsideration in those that are experiencing or witnessing his speech(es) firsthand. While he personally finds them a bit cheesy and sometimes even corny, it does bring a smile and sense of satisfaction to his face when he learns or is told that what his words of wisdom and advice was effective in some way or another.</center> |
