The full extend of his power or even the fact that he is a cape at all, isn’t widely known.
Character Sheet
Appearance
1,90 m height, short black hair, brown eyes, slender but athletic built.
Mentality
“Knowledge is power and life in ignorance worthless.”
John could be described as a person, solely interested in the cause and workings of parahuman abilities. He can appear friendly and charismatic, but has no real regard for human lives. His family mostly being there to cover for his other activities. Still he does care for his son, but only in the way of seeing his potential, trying to mold him in his own image, to teach what he views as important.
He harbors a deep distrust towards the higher-ups and cape-controlled government in general
Power
Able to insert thoughts, and images into anyone who perceives him for an extended amount of time.
Be it a voice in your head that constantly tries to introduce certain ideas or actions until weak minded individuals actually start to belief them as their own. Or actual images of him standing besides them, talking or threatening them. Visions can mask his presence, blocking their view to the real him.
Effect usually wears of after 12 hours, but long term exposure can cause an almost permanent influence.
Only works if he is aware of someones presence.
