Weight: 254lbs
Hair: Brown

Nationality: Caucasian

Occupation: Older Student

Appearance: Sonusem has a well worked out figure. He does basic work outs on a daily basis to keep his body in shape. His features prominently display nordic roots, with angular and sharp features.

Personality: Sonusem Thazar is a kind hearted, pleasant individual. He has a strong sense of right and wrong, brought on by his religious faith and the teachings they provide. Despite how ancient and unpopular that faith actually is in the modern time. Despite this sense, he knows full well that sometimes an evil act must be done in order to keep a good thing from being destroyed. He is the kind to go out of his way to help another, as long as they deserve the help. Sonusem often has a smile for everyone, even if they do not deserve it.

Background: Raised in a London orphanage, Sonusem lead a relatively pleasant life. The orphanage children had good food to eat, a good place to play, and were relegated to a particularly high end private school that assisted in keeping the place running with government funding. Early on Sonusem had a particularly high taste in music, and as he aged this taste continued. The orphanage put him on playing the piano from a particularly young age. It wasn't unheard of to start children on the piano so young, but Sonusems talent for music was astounding and in only a half a years time he was playing entire sonatas without assistance, even without being able to read the music sheets. His mutation had come so young, but it was easily hidden. It was also around this time the boy stopped speaking, having done so and nearly killed another student of the private school.
Years passed with Sonusem speaking again in only very quiet tones. He had learned control over his powers, but the fine ability was not yet there. During this time, he delved into the arts of music, learning everything he could about it, including as many instruments as he could get his hands on. By the time he had hit his sixteenth birthday, he knew so much about music, sound and vibrations, that he was awarded an honorary doctorate in both fields by the University of London. Most of this knowledge came naturally for Sonusem, as his powers continued to develop.
Shortly after his eighteenth birthday, Sonusem created a band called The Sound Wave. He and three others took their music across England. Though fame came, it was about the same as a one hit wonder craze. The band ended one day, tragically, when it was discovered that Sonusem was a mutant. In a pub, he was singing karaoke and some drunks called his talent a mutant power. They attempted to hurt him, and after doing so, Sonusem blasted the pub with a sonic shriek. The drunks were hurt badly, but not dead. The pub was in shambles, torn apart by the sudden eruption of sonic vibrations, and Sonusem was gone. He left only a single note to his band that said "Forgive me" in his room. Sonusem showed up in Los Angeles not days later and has been hiding there since.

Origin of Powers: Mutant

Powers:
Sonic Manipulation - Sonusem is able to manipulate sound in all of its forms.

*The Sound of Silence- Sonusem is able to eliminate, and restore, up to all sound around his person in an area of up to one half mile.

*Banshee Wail- Sonusem is able to project a massive sonic attack from his mouth. The sound is ear piercing and is best described as the shriek of the damned.

*Altered Tone- By making small shifts in his vocal chords, Sonusem can produce literally any sound known to man with his voice. This includes perfect replicas of other peoples voices that are indistinguishable from the real persons.

*Sonic Boom- While not technically a sonic boom, Sonusem creates a massive sonic disruption with his powers from his mouth in an area of effect in front of him.

*Hypnotic Sounds- Sonusems capability to manipulate sound on such a fine level that he can use it to control a persons thoughts and, to a more limited extent, actions.

*Sleep Induction- Sonic sounds are able to cause a person to pass out if used properly.

*Flight- Sonusem is able to use sound waves in order to move himself around in the air. He must constantly use these, and tends to use ones that cannot be heard by even animals, to stay aloft but he can effectively fly.

*Sonic Breath- While underwater, Sonusem can use his Sonic Boom to literally shatter the water around him into an air bubble. While this lasts only barely long enough for him to take a breath before more water submerges him again, he can use it with effective planning to remain underwater for extended periods of time.

*Sonar- While underwater, or above water, Sonusem can use sonic waves as active sonar.

*Enhanced Hearing- While Sonusem does not perceive things as louder than normal, he is able to pick up sounds at such a fine level that he can even hear things that dogs would not. Innate control allows him to filter out such noises so as to not be overwhelmed. His ears are slightly pointed. He cannot hear any farther than a normal person.

*Enhanced Brain- Sonusems brain is able to discern, catalogue, and recognize any type of sound given off from any source. This allows him to effectively use his Sonar ability, as well as do things like detect where a sound wave of any kind has come from.

Equipment:


Weaknesses:

Sonusems powers are mostly negated by the evil of Laryngitis.

OLDER STUDENT

Player: Kentachi

Name: Sonusem Thazar
Codename: Echostar

Age: 22
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 254lbs
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown
Nationality: Caucasian

Occupation: Older Student

Appearance: Sonusem has a well worked out figure. He does basic work outs on a daily basis to keep his body in shape. His features prominently display Nordic roots, with angular and sharp features. Sonu's ears are subtly mutated. They faintly pointed, and have two extra 'ridges' in them - however, this is not immediately noticeable to most people.

Origin of Powers: Mutant

Powers:

Magic Pipes- Sonusem's tracheal structure is heavily modified. In addition to normal vocal folds, his vestibular folds are also fully functional as vocal chords. Further, he has a fully functional syrinx at the fork of his trachea. This allows him to form complex sounds without shaping his mouth, like a parrot. He can make up to two separate sounds at once freely. He may roll Reasoning to go beyond that; up to 3 on a Yellow and 4 on a red. He cannot do more than four because he only has four vocal structures.
*Parroting- Sonusem's syrinx can record up to Good(10) minutes of audio which he can play back. Anything recorded stays until it is 'recorded over' by something else.

Ultra Ears- Sonu's mutated ears make his audible range from 5Hz to 100,000 Hz
*Sonic Reasoning- Sonusem’s brain is able to discern, catalogue, and recognize any type of sound given off from any source. This allows him to effectively use his Echolocation ability, as well as do things like detect the source of a sound.

Vocal Manipulation - Sonusem has the Incredible(40) ability to manipulate, enhance, and focus sounds his throat makes within his own audible range. However, most of his effects are in regular audible range. He can use this for general ventriloquism.

*Sonic Blast- Channeling a sound from his throat down his arm lets him fire a blast of sonic vibration dealing Incredible(40) damage. No power attack.

*Gunshot- Making a gunshot sound lets him shoot from his hand or finger a tight invisible shot of sonic waves that deal Remarkable(20) damage with Fantastic(30) Armor Piercing. No power attack. This is handy for pretending he is not a mutant.

*Sonic Boom- Sonusem can roll Vocal Manipulation to deal his Vocal Manipulation rank in damage to anyone who has made a melee attack against him up to that point in the round, unless they explicitly moved away from afterward. This damage is automatic and there is no defensive roll. HOWEVER, Sonusem also takes 25% of this damage himself.

*Super Scream- By taking his full round to do it, Sonusem can let out a terrible scream. He attacks with +3cs to agility and deals Amazing(60) damage to up to three side-by-side targets. However, it also automatically deals Good(10) damage to everything within 40 feet. Armor vs physical damage will defend against this automatic damage.

*Silence Ray- With an Agility roll, Sonu can shut down the speech center of a speaking person's brain by echoing their own voice back at them. He does this with the palm of his hand and they must be in line-of-sight. If they move too much he may have to reroll but simple walking about is not a problem.

**Echo Shot- Echostar can bounce a range attack or ability off surfaces to bypass some shields and obstacles. Attacks get -1CS for each 'bounce', non-attack abilities get -1CS to the initial attempt for each bounce.

*Mosquito Whispers- Sonusem can speak on a very high frequency that the adult brain hears but does not process. This allows him to speak directly to a person's subconscious. Doesn't work on people 20 years and under, as they can process it as a strange voice. His powers allow him to focus this on one person at a time.

*Myna Man- Sonu can make any sound he knows, with or without using his mouth. In some situations the GM may call a roll for this.
**Mimic Man- Remarkable(20) ability to perfectly mimic a specific voice that he has heard. This does not imply the skills to fake their personality.

*Sleep Induction- Sonu can roll Reasoning at -2 vs a target's Psyche to put them to sleep. If he does not target it, everyone who hears must roll to resist. This does not work in noisy chaos, so generally cannot be done in a fight.

*Banshee Wail- Echostar can roll Vocal Manipulation to release a horrible inhuman wail. All who hear it must roll Psyche and score a Yellow to be unaffected. Green gives them -1 to all rolls vs Echostar; white gets them -2 vs him and -1 to everything else. A botch may make them flee the area. People who do not know where the sound is coming from may flee anyway.
Note: Echostar may take the time to condition allies not to be affected by this, but the process takes a while.
**Banshee Shriek- Minus the psychological factor, he can instead use this ability to deal Remarkable(20) damage to crystaline structures in the area.

*Flight- Sonusem can fly by carrying himself along on low frequency soundwaves. He flies at Poor(6) Airspeed (60 mph) at his normal agility.

*Echolocation- Sonu has an Incredible(40) foot radius of echolocation; within this sphere he can discern everything his eyes could tell him besides light and color. With an Intuition roll, he may be able to discern other things, such as density, speed of objects, or exact distances.

*Sea-nusem- Sonu gets +2CS to all his sound powers underwater. This does not afford him any ability to survive underwater. The bonus does not apply to attack rolls, only damage and such.
**Sonic Swim- Using his 'flight' underwater also grants him +2cs to Agility for purpose of movement.
**Sonar- While underwater, his echolocation becomes sonar. He can hear normally underwater.

Sonic Manipulation- Echostar can manipulate sounds that do not come from his throat (or from his body at all) at Remarkable(20). Attempting to use any Vocal Manipulation stunts with Sonic Manipulation penalizes -2CS to attempt, attack, and damage.
**Exotic Thunder- Echostar can roll Remarkable(20) to turn a single sound into a ranged attack and launch it at a target. Damage is based on the intensity of the sound.


Equipment:

Pitch Pipe- Sonusem carries a mundane pitch pipe about. Never know when It'll come in handy.


Weaknesses:

*Laryngitis- Sonu cannot make sounds and hence is greatly inhibited if his vocal structures are incapacitated. His voicebox has 20 hp; blunt damage will shut him up. At 20 damage to it, he may roll Endurance once at the beginning of his turn. He needs a Yellow to reset it. This is a Stun, and healing effects do not help. Sharp or energy damage must be healed normally but if people are stabbing his throat he has bigger things to worry about. Targeting his voice box is a -3 called shot and does not damage the rest of his body.

*Deaf- Sonusem gets -2CS to doing anything involving his Vocal Manipulation if he cannot hear, and cannot control other sounds at all.

*Echo- Echostar's powers have a bad habit of bouncing off of things. He has no particular resistance to sonic damage.
