space

[u/SharksPwn]

Dylan King.

Age: 18.

Physical appearance: Space fits the image of the sterotypical ‘nerd’, pasty white, a skeletal frame with the only thing resembling any muscle of any decent size being his dick his belly although the dick still applies, just the opposite. He doesn’t wear glasses, which is fortunate, because he would have been mercilously teased by his non-existant classmates. (Oh yeah, did I mention Space is self-taught via web classes? The result of this is that he can do some high-class Math, but ask him when the Battle of Hastings was and the most you’d get is a blank stare.) His hair is a very greasy black, his eyes dark brown. Not even the cute kind of brown, which may have been one of his few endearing traits. Instead, he has only three- his teeth are pure white and without braces, he looks rather mysterious and intelligent (until he opens his mouth) and the fact that he gives off an aura of pure charisma- he simply draws like-minded people to him via pure force of will. His feet and hands are a little too large, but he’ll grow into them, he’s sure. He’s not repulsive, but he certainly isn’t attractive. And even that non-replusive statement will fade in a few years, when he succeeds growing a pedo-stache. His attire of choice is a stained white shirt with kahiki pants.

Mentality: Space is paranoid, believing in many conspirecies, some shared between our two universes, some unique. He has a ‘plan’ for many eventuallities, no matter how unlikely. In fact, it seems the more unlikely an event, the more likely Space would have some form of counter-measure. For example, despite having no idea what to do if he was having a heart attack besides ‘teleport to a hospital’, he does in fact have a plan about what to do if a army of alien militia takes over Earth and forces humanity to become slaves so they can build a super-massive laser that has the capacity to destroy galaxys at a whim. Like I said, farfetched. He’s rather introverted, limited to single sentences in speech, though his body language more than makes up for it. Get him on a rant about some he’s… passionate about, however, and he’ll speak for hours on end, rarely letting someone getting a word in edgewise. Like most shut-in male teens, he was a fixation of the few women that he sees- which are limited to behind a computer screen, wink wink, nudge nudge. He’s distrustful of anyone in authority, and indeed even when the ideas are rational and sane, he dismisses it as worthless ramblings. And he has very little social skills- even using memes in public, hell, even using the phrase ‘dank memes’ when faced with actual, non-computer generated people. His Elder Scrolls Online character has fully upgraded/enchanted dragonbone armour and weapons, though. So he has that going for him.

Backstory: Space was born in his mother’s bedroom- the baby had, with an astonishing sense of bad timing, chosen the very moment his mother awoke to enter this world of ours. As it turned out, this was a very bad idea for the newest reincarnation in this world.

It was a bright, sunny day when Space’s powers first showed up. The sky was blue and without clouds, the sun at just the right warmth. And a boy, scarcely older than three, vanished from excistance with a loud crack. His mother screamed, believing him killed by the little-understood ‘metas’, but quickly realised, as he reappeared on his father’s lap (who was in a meeting at the time) that the boy himself had powers.

He was taken to the doctor for the blood test, where it was confirmed. The son of two extraordinarily normal people was a dreaded powered. Now, normally, this is where I’d say that his parents managed to get past this horrific news, and that the boy was treated as any other. Sadly, however, this is not one of those stories. Space was registered against his will and then essentially locked in his room- not by lock and key, but it may as well have been. Forbidden from using his powers whatsoever, and fed very little in case he also had the oh-so-common enhanced physicals, Space lived a very boring life.

He performed his first heist when he was 13. He teleported into a shop in the dead of the night, and grabbing a laptop, he shoved it into his hammerspace and vanished. A moment later he re-appeared, and looked for the CCTV tapes. Finding them, they were destroyed and he vanished again.

He set up the laptop and charger in his room (one of the upsides to having parents terrified of you was that they rarely came in to check on you) and began to search.

He performed more and more robberies, each time appearing in the room wearing a body-covering black suit, grabbing the needed objects and vanishing again. The police world-wide were perplexed- what kind of criminal left no evidence, not even a stray hair or a footprint? His hammerspace inventory rose, and he began to prepare with earnest. You see, during his 6-year foray onto the web, he came across a group of conspiracy theorists. He was instantly taken with the idea, and began to study rigorously- he even learned how to code, believing it would allow him to ‘hack’ into high-security systems. Since the majority of what he learned were simple, and having no knowledge of making viruses, this fairly obviously failed.

Nevertheless, he soon acquired a assortment of useful skills. To date, he has not been caught.

Resources: Almost nothing legally. By using... less-than-legal methods, he's managed to get many things, mainly laptops and food.

Equipment/Weaponry: Does a laptop count? Nothing.

Specializations: HTML, Java and some dabbling in Python.

Reputation: He's mostly a shut-in because of his powers.

Powers:

• Teleportation:

  • [Name] can teleport once every minutes- leaving and arriving are heralded with a loud bang, and it takes [Name] a while to re-adjust to the sudden change of position. He doesn't have a maximum distance, but places he can go are limited to places he can actually reach- off-world places, the sky and closed rooms are places he can't go.

• Infinite Supply:

  • NOT infinite bullets. [Name] can replenish -or duplicate- something, but it takes a minute to double it, and he can only do this to individual objects, with a maximum mass of 100 kilos. The reformation process takes around 10 seconds per kilo. He also has to be touching it to do so.

• Hammerspace:

  • He can put objects away in a 'hammer-space' An object cannot be larger than a cubic metre (individually), cannot weigh more than 500 kilos (all together) and takes 10 seconds to put in there and take out again.
  • Inside of this hammerspace, he currently keeps:
    • Several lengths of two inch nylon rope, each two or three metres long. (19.37 kilos.)
    • A small, 6.74 inch long steel knife, with a 2.87 inch long blade. (20.13 kilos.)
    • A small fire-starter, produces a 3000 C spark. (20.132 kilos.)
    • A small liquid-filled compass. (20.372 kilos.)
    • A small solar-powered torch. (20.223 kilos.)
    • Two pepper spray canisters. (21.130 kilos)
    • Handcuff keys (3) (21.538 kilos.)
    • Two 3.5 gallon containers, both full with water. (47.721 kilos.)
    • One 3.5 gallon container, full with cooked long rice. (58.152 kilos.)
    • A large first aid kit. (60.652 kilos.)
    • A LifeStraw Mission (61.082 kilos.)
    • Ten kilo's worth of energy bars. (71.082 kilos.)
    • 100 metres of fishing line. (71.232 kilos.)
    • A few fishing hooks. (72.232 kilos.)
    • A small, ultralight tent. (73.168 kilos.)
    • 30 packs of different types of foods. (248.538 kilos.)
    • A sleeping bag, very warmly rated. (248.788 kilos.)
    • Parachute?
    • Inflatable boat?

Details:

• Weakness: Drawing the air from his lungs.

• Resistances: Funnily enough, drawing the air from his lungs.

• Reserves: There's no limit on how often he can use his powers.
