History

Click to expand.

History:

Josiah was born to a loving family in Louisiana, born in the swamps. He grew up being taught the bible and he was taught the basic schoolwork so the family could focus on their ministry. His family run a mobile church, using the child in their sermons and when the boy turned eight years old, he even became a child preacher, spreading the word of god. It wasn't until he turned 14 during an intense prayer session when his X-gene activated. He healed the man he was praying over and discovered that he could heal others with their touch. Becoming the church's faith healer, he learned that those he healed depended on how much of his lifeforce. He also discovered that he could create energy wings and fly, as well as armor and weapons to defend himself...he is still exploring his abilities. His family now travels to New York City to provide as much healing as possible.

Personality

Click to expand.

Personality:

He has a caring personality. Raised on bible lessons, he tends to forgive those who wrong him and strives to help others. He however has a strong sense of right and wrong, and while he is forgiving, he seeks to right wrongs done by others. He also has a confidence and charisma from preaching. He wants his parish to believe in Christ like him.

Abilities

Click to expand.

Flight:
Creating Lightforce wings, Josiah can fly. He can't fly fast, going little faster then a car, he can fly. Like all of his abilities, Lightforce wings are as strong as his own lifeforce.

Lightforce Combat:
While Lightforce normally heals when exposed to beings, it can be used offensively. It disrupts the body's natural lifeforce, it can kill but Josiah doesn't normally use it for such. He uses it to stun and the effect of feeling your lifeforce wither and flicker makes others leave him be. Death can only happen with staff approval.

Lightforce Constructs:
Josiah is able to create lightforce constructs. While he can create constructs of anything, including armor, limbs, and weapons, the durability of such constructs are as strong as steel so it can be destroyed by stronger materials. Josiah usually makes weapons, armor, wings to fly, and barriers. He can't create complex machines nor can he create things that act on its own. He also can make only a construct a few cubic feet at best. Any larger can take too much lifeforce. He can only create simple things.

Lightforce Generation:
Josiah is a mutant connected to the lightforce dimension. Lightforce is an energy which manifests as white light. It possesses the ability to heal wounds, purge toxins and poisons, cure diseases, remove addiction, heal mental instability and generally makes one peaceful when bathed in this light. The light radiates from his hands, eyes, mouth, ears and body. Lightforce is living energy and the amount Josiah can generate is tied to his own lifeforce. He has to touch someone to use his healing abilities, and despite making him glow, he can't restore lost limbs or bring the dead back to life. The amount healed is based on the greatness of the injury, healing small wounds diseases and such in a matter of seconds to taking a few minutes to an hour to heal critical diseases and injuries.

Peak Condition:

Being a mutant able to generate lightforce, means his own body is strong. Being exposed to it has brought Josiah's body to the peak of the human condition. What this means is he is at the limits of human potential physically and no more.

Skills

Click to expand.

Combat:
Josiah has had to defend himself growing up from bigots who felt his family were scamming people with religion. He knows how to defend himself and little else.

Languages:
Josiah knows multiple languages, including Italian, Latin, and Spanish. He also knows prayers in other languages while he may not know more then that in other languages.

Religion:

Josiah grew up with a religious family, and was a part of the family church from a young age. It wasn't until his own mutant abilities kicked in did he become a faith healer. He knows the bible as well as numerous other religions, both old and new.

Resources

Click to expand.

Church:

The church which Josiah is a preacher for doesn't follow just one denomination. They have access to money thanks to it's parishioners. Both Josiah's parents have taught him how to speak various languages and how to bring Christ to the people. Money wise he has enough to meet traveling essentials and something special every once in a while but other then that, they are relatively poor. However when Josiah gained his abilities, they started to gain more money slowly through tithes.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

Lifeforce:
ALL lightforce powers are based on how strong Josiah's own lifeforce is. Complex diseases and poisons takes more lightforce energy, which means he spends more lifeforce to cure it. Constructs also tied to his own lifeforce. If his life is weak, his powers are also weak because of it.

Powers:
Josiah doesn't know he is a mutant. What his parents told him was he was blessed by god and the saints, to be a prophet like Jesus. Connected to his own sheltered upbringing, he is unaware of the mutant condition being anything but blessings from God.

Sheltered:

Josiah grew up reading the bible and little else. He doesn't know history other then it, he also doesn't know science and math that well. He also isn't aware of how to survive in cities, having grown up preaching in small towns. He also has no idea how to do finances.
