The Cloak

Blur's costume and currently her greatest creation.

Appearance: Given that her old Ward costume was copyrighted and distinctive, Blur's new costume is much less so. The hex-material is much thinner than her old costume and appears as a light grey color when inactive, and the sorta hat-veil thing the former model had is now converted into a slightly more sensible hood that can be adjusted to cover the entire face.

Abilities:

-Active Camouflage: By using a variety of sensors built into the hex-patterned fibers that her costume is mostly made of, she can change the color that her costume projects to nearly perfectly match her surroundings. Color updates every minute to account for changing environment. Works best in poorly-lit, low-contrast areas. Running or otherwise moving quickly between two high-contrast areas would be counterproductive, and reveal her to most observers.

-Color Projection: Changes the material on her costume to uniformly project one bright color (neon shades of purple, green, and red are programmed initially) to an intensity that makes it difficult for onlookers to look directly at her. Eye protection (sunglasses, welding helmets, etc.) will protect one from the bright light.

Duration: Attached power source allows for a max of two hours of use in camouflaged form, thirty minutes of bright projection form, or any combination thereof. Cloak’s power source requires six uninterrupted hours to fully recharge.

Scope

Blur's almost constantly worn opaque visor. Useful for not blinding herself with her own tech.

Appearance: A flat and rectangular visor, with three spots for adding lenses. Attached to Blur’s head with a strap. Lenses are thin and fragile sheets of plastic in various colors, and usually carried in a tough metal case.

Abilities: Scope can hold up to three lenses. The lenses themselves work to filter a specific subset of light either into or out of her visible spectrum. For example, one given lens filters out the color purple from her sight, thus purple objects appear invisible. Another given lens filters infrared light into her visible spectrum, allowing her to perceive that subset of light.

Duration: Until the lenses are broken.

Notes: It is costly and time-consuming to create lenses, and even more time-consuming to learn how to deal with the expanded set of perceptions that making a new part of the light spectrum visible creates. Blur has 2 purple-filtering lenses, one green-filtering lens, one red-filtering lens, and one infrared-filtering lens currently in her possession. Useful for not blinding herself with her own tech. Additionally has a lens that limits the amount of light perceivable by Blur, in order to not be blinded by other rudefellas' tech.

High-Intensity Flares

A method of concealment and distraction all in one.

Appearance: Looks like a cross between a can of spray paint and a smoke grenade’s casing, which is triggered by twisting and removing a metal cap on the top.

Abilities: Upon triggering, produces a cloud of bright and opaque smoke in a particular color, bright enough to irritate the eyes of onlookers making direct eye contact. Cloud is large enough to conceal a van.

Duration: Single-use, five are currently constructed. The smoke cloud produced dissipates completely after ten minutes, while the projected color loses the brightness after two minutes.

Blackout Bombs

Could be said to be an upgraded version of the flares, as well as acting as a sort of "panic button"

Appearance: Flask-shaped canister about as tall and wide as a can of shaving cream. Armed by twisting the cap on top of the canister, three second fuse time.

Abilities: Upon detonation, floods an area about the size of a tennis court with dense and pitch black smoke. It is effectively impossible for any spectrum of light to penetrate this smoke, effectively blinding anyone trapped within and obscuring the contents to anyone looking without. Aural imaging (e.g. sonar, some Thinker powers) is unimpeded by this smoke. Notably, Blur herself is affected by this smoke, and her visor is not able to penetrate it.

Duration: Smoke will naturally dissipate within a half hour, bombs are single-use (although parts of the casing are technically recyclable). Three bombs have been made thus far, only one is typically carried on Blur’s person.
