Profile

David Haller is a troubled young man. Growing up with an apparent bad case of schizophrenia. He took the medicines he was given. He went to the therapy sessions. He listened to councilor after councilor. Growing up he was an unremarkable child. Average in school, not particularly talented in anything, he retreated into his computer games, one of the few joys he had in life.

As he went to college, he studied to be a programmer, wanting to make the type of games he loved playing. He started to get into creating them, and that's when 'it' happened. His mind broke, no longer able to distinguish real from other, and he lashed out at those around him. After a burst of power, he went catatonic, and was carried off to the Mental Health Institute, where they keep him sedated so he harms no one else.

Description

Click to expand.
David has unkempt hair, often a day 2 five o'clock shadow, and can often be seen in a bright orange and white jumpsuit, identifying him as a mental patient at a local mental health institute. He is skinned, has more than a few physical ticks to lend to his tenuous mental state, and speaks not with incorrect grammar, but with odd pacing, this is most evident when he is under stress.

History

Click to expand.

David was born in Austin, Texas, and grew up in the desolate plains of West Texas, so his father, an astronomer could do his work without bother.  He grew up an isolated child, having only his sister for company for much of the day.  When he got to school, he didn't 'fit' in, and couldn't figure out why.  The school counselor determined he had a mental illness, and asked to send him for testing.  They found out about his 'schizophrenia' then.  He saw things that weren't there.  Would say he did things he could in no possible way do.  He learned, over time, to hide these things, pretend they didn't exist.  So much so, that he believed the medication and therapy was working.  

It was not.  His powers went into remission, hiding themselves until needed.  A small part of his mind keeping tabs on them, ready to release it should 'something' happen.  He grew up, graduated high school, an average student, with average talents.  His only respite growing up was video games.  He would retreat into his room, and play until the wee hours.  When he graduated, he went to school to be a programmer, so he could make the games he loved.  

It was during one of his 'creative session' (smoking pot while coding), that 'it' happened.  He lost control of what was real, and what was 'other', and lashed out.  The computer lab he was in was destroyed, and he was left comatose on the floor.  He was taken to the hospital, and when he awoke, was 'mad'.  He was taken to the Mental Health Institute then, for them to help him with his mental state.  He's been there for a little over 2 years now, and knows the routine so well he could run the place himself.  He's growing bored though, and is starting to dream and wonder again...+gen History=David was born in Austin, Texas, and grew up in the desolate plains of West Texas, so his father, an astronomer could do his work without bother.  He grew up an isolated child, having only his sister for company for much of the day.  When he got to school, he didn't 'fit' in, and couldn't figure out why.  The school counselor determined he had a mental illness, and asked to send him for testing.  They found out about his 'schizophrenia' then.  He saw things that weren't there.  Would say he did things he could in no possible way do.  He learned, over time, to hide these things, pretend they didn't exist.  So much so, that he believed the medication and therapy was working.

Personality

Click to expand.

With his full mental capacity, he is a fairly reserved individual.  He's prone to wall-flowering, but is generally happy go lucky, in an understated way, of course.  

However, in his altered mental states, he can go from catatonic, to extremely aggressive, and anywhere in between.  Currently these altered moods are held in check by medications.

Abilities

Click to expand.

ASTRAL PROJECTION
David can project his conscious mind and manifest in ghostly forms virtually invisible to anyone else, excepting those with unique powers of detection.  This is often used as he 'lets his mind wander', seeing things he couldn't possibly be able to otherwise.  He can also enter the astral plane.  There he is a novice, but with great power, making him more a sledgehammer than a scalpel during astral combat. (Not active while medicated.)

DENSITY MANIPULATION
David is able to control the density of himself, and other objects in his immediate vicinity.  He is able to phase himself through other objects (ALA Kitty Pride), or change the state of matter of things in the area. (Solids to liquid or gas, liquid to solid or gas, gas to liquid or solid, etc.) (Not active while medicated)

PYROKINESIS
David is able to generate heat and fire by psycho kinetically stimulating matter on a molecular level (using his Reality Warping ability). He can project flames out around 15 feet of himself or raise the temperature of objects within 30 feet; either way, he can manage temperatures of up to 500 degrees, unaffected by the heat he generates. (Not active while medicated)

REALITY WARPING
David has the ability to draw upon an extra-dimensional power source capable of warping reality to his will.  He is able to use his reality warping to do a variety of effects (some represented by his other powers listed).  He is limited in scope only by his imagination.  Currently his power typically only works in his immediate vicinity, and with limited capacity, since his mind is broken. (Not active while medicated)  

TELEKINESIS
David is capable of psycho kinetically projecting force and manipulating matter, both in large quantities and in minute detail. He can manipulate up to fifty tons of mass and strike with similar levels of force without significant strain, though he has no true  fine control. He can also shield himself and others from attacks and propel himself and others in flight. The use of these abilities is dependent on concentration, willpower, and fatigue: just activating and maintaining them is physically/mentally draining, and circumstances that make it difficult for him to properly focus his willpower on using his brain to affect the physical world can greatly impact his control or render him unable to use his telekinesis at all. Although it can be subdued if he thinks to, his telekinetic manifestations tends to come with a multicolored plasma like power signature.  (Not active while medicated)

TELEPATHY
David possesses the potential for Omega-level telepathy, but he has yet to completely grow into his potential due in no small part to his own shattered mental landscape.  With no training currently, he has a bleeding effect of other's surface thoughts, that he is not able to block out.  He has shown the potential for mind control, but as with most of his powers, he has no active control, lashing out with power at random when in an altered state of mind.  (Not active while medicated.)

TELEPORTATION

David's sister Amy has memories of leaving her brother in the bath and then finding him wandering outside. He has managed to teleport over 600 feet from his original position.  He can teleport himself, a small number of others that are in physical contact with one another, or someone else only, by touching them and picturing where they will go. (Not active while medicated)

Skills

GAMING
David is... Or, more rightly, was, a talented gamer. He had record speed runs on various classics, and was well known 'on the scene' for various internationally competitive games. He never rose to actual fame, but he was a recognized figure often. In the virtual scape at least.

PHARMACOLOGY
While David has no 'actual' training in dealing with drugs, having been in a mental health institute for as long as he has, he has learned a lot of what drugs do what, prescription wise, or street wise.

PROGRAMMING

He has 'most' of a 2 year degree in general computer programming. He's decent at it, but nothing special. It is however, something that he enjoys.

Resources

Click to expand.

BROKEN

For now he has little in the way of resources. His worldly possessions are kept in a storage unit in west Texas, with his sister keeping an eye on it. In the hospital, all he has are a few personal items of no real note. And his orange jumpsuit.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

BROKEN MIND

His mind is a battlefield. His mental state is tenuous in the best of times, and completely borked in the worst of times. If he gets stressed, he starts to have 'an episode', and then things can 'happen'. He is currently taking medication to stifle this. It works. Most of the time.
