And now, without further ado, my character.

Name: Damian Arkens
Alias: Chord
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Origin: Transformed
Race: Super Human
Appearance: Damian stands at 5’8’’ with a lean build and a slightly pale complexion, one of the physical side effects of the experiment. His eyes are a bright orange, though he hides them behind brown contacts and his hair is platinum blonde, falling messily down to his chin. He has slightly sharp features, and an almost wolfish smirk.

In regular society, he dresses like a regular teenage slacker. With a white sweat shirt, slightly baggy black pants, and old black combat boots. He wears a black choker around his neck and on some occasions wears black fingerless gloves.

When fighting crime, Damian wears full body black leathers, with numerous belts and buckles around the waist, arms and legs. He wears black, shiny combat boots and gloves. He no longer wears the contacts and hides the top side of his face behind a sharp, black mask with a pointed nose. His hair is slicked back and spiked. He carries around a black electric guitar, which is normally strapped to his back.
Personality: Damian can be best described as a loudmouth teenager. He’s cocky, loud, and tends to make a lot of wisecracks during battle. He does have a tendency to pick fights, and is a bit reckless in his tactics. However, despite this, he does know right from wrong, and has a staunch hatred of those who use and abuse others, mainly due to his own past. He will fight to protect others, and will throw his all into it.
Powers: Damian has control over the medium of sound. He can use sound as a weapon, ranging from deafening people to letting out a shockwave that can shatter glass and rupture metal. He can also use sound as a barrier to stop, or at least weaken, oncoming attacks. He can detect sounds around him, and can almost pinpoint where certain sounds come from. Finally, he can manipulate where sound waves go, allowing people to hear certain sounds and preventing them from hearing others.

Specialties:
-Music
-Bludgeoning Weapons
-Athletics
History: Damian’s most recent, clear memory was waking up in a hospital bed at the age of 17, apparently being found unconscious on the side of a road. Once he had recovered, he was taken in by one of the doctors from the hospital and her family. As Damian settled into his new life, he discovered his ability to manipulate sound while listening to music in his room. After experimenting with his abilities while his foster family wasn’t looking, Damian at first used his powers for more self serving reasons, such as pranks.

However, this changed when he one evening, when walking home from a club, came across a poor man being mugged. Ready to run in to fight to help the guy, Damian accidently triggered his powers, knocking the muggers unconscious. The victim, still a bit shaken up by what happened, thanked Damian before fleeing, unable to see him clearly in the darkness. Being a hero felt kind of nice to the platinum blonde, and in typical teenage fashion, decided to do some more. Of course, he’d need an alter ego. Taking ideas from comic books, Damian crafted his costume in secret, and adopted the name “Chord”. He decided to use the electric guitar his parents gave him as a way to generate the sound he can control, as well as adding to his super hero persona. It wasn’t long before the name “Chord” hit the papers.

Recently though, Damian has been starting to have flashes, memories from his past. Flashes involving experiments, pain, an escape, and others like himself. He hasn’t worked out the full story yet, but he has figured out that his powers were not natural. Furthermore, one word keeps appearing over, and over again.

Grave…
Relations: Has one a couple of occassions teamed up with Deadpunk to take down criminals. As a result is on good terms with him.
Other: Is very fond of sea salt, and tends to put it on everything.
