Railgun
Contents
Personality
Kai'el possesses a rather calm outward persona that is easily excited in the presence of his rather niche interests. All-in-all, Kai'el is quite the friendly individual who often maintains a boyish grin and elated tone of voice regardless of his less than stellar social skills. Supportive at heart, he does his best to encourage his friends and assist his enemies to better themselves through things such as positive reinforcement with the end goal of reforming them from villains into good people.
As with most people his age, Kai'el is prone to silent bouts of self-deprecation and the insecurities that come with being a teenager; notable amongst these insecurities is his physical image as an alien, and though he isn't all that different than humans in the long-run, he finds the differences to scream out at him as he walks down the street or enters a building; by means of glasses which superimpose a holographic image over him to don a human disguise.
Powers and Abilities
Particle Acceleration
Kai'el's electromagnetic field involuntarily accelerates particles which pass through it to supralightspeed, eventually even creating tachyons. Under normal circumstances a single accelerated particle would not prove to be an issue for long, however, his ability initially resulted in destructive waves of fast-moving particles being constantly shunted outward from his body. Kerbing the problem at its source are a dual pair of bracers at his wrists which allow him to control his electromagnetic field and enable him to augment his particles and those around him to a variety of ends.

Racial Traits
Velarians evolved several evolutionary traits to allow them to not only survive but to thrive in their otherwise extremely hostile environment. Tidally locked to its giant moon of Andarion -- which is itself nearly another planet at half of the size of Velarius VII -- the homeworld of the Velarians has a standard day roughly ten Terran days; the Velarian trait to remain awake for thirty Terran days is often cited as their rise as the dominant species, needing only eight hours of sleep per these thirty days periods of wakefulness. Another evolutionary boon would be their enhanced sense of hearing with a range of roughly 65 Hz to 43 kHz with a maximum distance of just under three hundred feet in thicker atmospheres such as Earth.
- Enhanced Hearing
- Extended Wakefulness
Abilities
- Gymnast: Kai'el possesses both agility and flexibility due to formal as a gymnast. Though 'classically trained', there are influences of modern parkour added into his physical codex of moves and manoeuvres; his formal training excels primarily in the fields of flips and vaulting.
- Polyglottism: His travels across the galaxy and eventual arrival on Earth sparked a talent for linguistics within a young Kai'el; learning languages at an exceptional pace compared to his abysmal school grades in other fields. His interest in alien languages eventually spread to the field of xenoanthropology and his new life on Earth provided for him the perfect opportunity to study a unique brand of aliens in their natural habitat; as well as another contribution to his hobbies, the human science of cryptozoology.
Weaknesses
- Mortal: Whilst in his either form he is susceptible to magical curses, charms, hexes, psions, possession, illness and the like.
- Electromagnatism: As his tachyons are brought forth in one charged form or another -- positively or negatively -- a manipulator of electromagnetism or simply an object or field with a similar charge would be able to refract or redirect his attacks back at him with ease.
- Sonic Devices: With the ability to perceive sound differently than a human in a Terran atmosphere comes its own challenges. Chiefly among these is that he has a lower tolerance for exceedingly loud sounds or devices designed to emit powerful sound waves and such things induce immense pain, inability to focus, and vertigo.
Paraphernalia
Gear
- Cable Ties: A bundle of dual looped red cable ties kept within his belt's pouches. They are entirely normal red plastic cable ties with no special qualities but are quite effective at apprehending normal criminals; they tend not to work so well on super-powered entities as he has found out.
- Utility Pouches: A number of pouches line his belt which by default contain: three small sample containers, five sample swabs, a pair of latex gloves, and a small UV torch. Several others are left empty for situational use as exemplified with Kai'el typically using them to store a chocolate energy bar, ten dollars, his bus pass, and fifty marbles just prior to going on patrol.
Transportation
- Public Transportation: Unlike many heroes, Kai'el neither has the funds nor licence to acquire and operate a vehicle, as such he relies on public transportation or his abilities to get from point 'A' to point 'B'.
Notes
RP Hooks
- He can be seen riding public transportation in full hero attire, while heroes are by no means rare in Millennium City, one might find it rather odd for one to take the bus.
- Those with sensors or abilities they allow them to detect particles would immediately notice that Kai'el is emitting tachyons to such an absurd degree, it is entirely possible for his presence to interfere with the readings of lower-end detection methods. Higher end detection methods would reveal a lifeform at the epicentre of the tachyons as well as any other data the tachyons could have been obscuring to lesser technology or abilities.
- From 7 PM to 10 PM on weekdays and 5 PM to 11 PM on weekends, police typically report a short blue-green person wearing a scarf and superhero attire leaping across rooftops in the Westside, occasionally delivering small-time criminals to the police station with red cable ties keeping their hands locked in the rear stack position.
Trivia
- He has a blog with his friends and often advertises it. The blog, when looked up, produces articles on various interesting, mysterious, or otherwise paranormal activity. The most popular one with several hundred views is "The Toaster of 276 Sherbet Dr." a piece on a haunted toasted which could spell out predictions in the toast, sadly the toaster was found destroyed in the morning after it made a prediction the owner disliked.
- When it comes to music his favourite genres are classic rock, punk rock, vaporwave, and J-Pop, with his favourite song most likely being 'Rhiannon' by Fleetwood Mac.
- Kyle speaks with a peculiar accent comparable to that of a vaguely Nordic accent mixed with Northern Welsh.
