Name: Johnathan Anderson
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Power Level: 4
Timeline: Modern
Appearance: Johnathan is a taller man, just above six feet. He is a natural gray haired man, sometimes thought of as being older because of it. He has green eyes and wears glasses, with scar like birthmark sending at a tip just under both eye. The birthmarks start from just below the lower jaw bone in a pinkish red colored streak that end in the points under his eyes. The marks have been referenced to looking like something had left two long claw marks down his cheeks. Johnathan typically wears the standard cleric uniform for the Roman Catholics, though he tends to leave his cassock off unless occasion says he must wear it. He wears a white wife-beater under his shirt. He is an active man, and rather than go shirtless he wears the wife-beater so he can tie the other shirt around his waist. Around his neck at all times is the cross his father wore before stepping down from being a clergyman. The cross is styled after a rosary, with a wide loop for the neck and a hanging where the cross it. The cross itself is the older style cross with the curved edges, made from a tree planted in Jerusalem. It is Johnathan's most prized possession.
Personality: As he looks, Johnathan is a very kind man. He works often with different agencies because of his powers, only so long as they use non lethal force. He is a strong man from his long hours doing physical labor, which sometimes gives him an intimidating factor. He is always more at peace when it rains, or when he has something to do involving his hands. Jonathan is a passionate believer in Faith, though he is surprisingly anti-religion. It was only because of family tradition and his father that Jonathan became a priest. He is often criticized for not preaching what is in the bible. When not preaching or working, Johnathan tends to pace and move a lot, sometimes exhausting himself because of it. In recent months he has taken to routinely attempting to learn Brail due to his failing eyesight. He hates being labeled a blocker, as he is the first person he knows who can use his power. He likes being refereed to as a Negationist. Johnathan does not like religion, and does not follow most of the rules he is supposed to.
History: Johnathan was born to a middle class family, eldest of three children. His father was a priest, and during the week worked a nine to five job as a mechanic for a factory that made bottles. Johnathan inherited his birth marks and his blindness from his father, who went blind at thirty like his father before him. Johnathan helped take care of the home, and doted upon his younger sister, which progressed to a dangerous affection border lining the point of incest before Johnathan left the home at eighteen. When he had graduated and left the home, Johnathan tried to gain a job unsuccessfully, eventually falling back to the military. There he joined the Army Reserves before landing a job as a construction worker. He was eventually stationed in Rome, where his father began pressing for him to enter the Vatican for a few years like his father had done. His father sent him the cross he now constantly wears as a sign of his faith that Johnathan would do great with the Church. Following true to that belief, Johnathan is a well respected man, and for a year helped run an orphanage. It was during those years, from twenty five until now, that different groups came to him for his powers. Johnathan helped some of the more noble ones, and with the help of older members of the Church began to train his odd power. At one member's request Johnathan took up learning Brail to combat his oncoming blindness. Recently Johnathan has taken up smoking as a way to calm his nerves and ease the stress of learning Brail.
Powers: Jonathan is a very strong and durable man, simply from all the time he has put into working, from planting trees to building homes and more.
Aside from that and the knowledge when he was a reserve, Johnathan is also a psychic. While not a traditional psychic, Johnathan displays the ability to cancel all forms of energy he encounters to the point of it only being capable of sustaining life. However, he first must become used to it, through experiencing it or witnessing it, or just hard studying of it on a college level basis.
He is capable of causing unconsciousness though skin to skin contact, and he can shut other forms of energy down by touch easily. While much harder and rarely done so, Jonathan can send out, well a pulse best describes it, that shuts down all forms of energy, effectively able to cause a truck to stop moving, though factors play into it. Gravity, speed, size, and psychic buffering are what effects his powers. He may be able to stop bullets, but he would not be able to do so in time to stop himself from being shot.
So far Jonathan has been able to negate energy in the form of Kinetic, Gravitational, Thermal, Electrical, Magnetic, and Mental Energies. Attempts at Nuclear were unsuccessful, though it may have been because of the equipment needed to be kept safe. While he has shown to be able to negate these energies, the difficulties in them, especially Gravitational Energy and Magnetic Energy, leave him drained.
This is not to say it is instantaneous or without damage. Stopping energy such as kinetic energy from a moving vehicle or bullet is taxing, and takes some time. He has a small field, a diameter around him extending roughly only four meters, or close to sixteen feet. Within that sixteen feet he can work with, anything outside of it is untouchable for him. Aside from the dome, something going sixty miles an hour like a truck would take a larger amount of time than he has accessible for him, meaning Johnathan would be hit by the truck before it stopped. Stopping living creatures is even more taxing, as he must be touching the organism to negate the energy inside of it, and he can not stop it to the point of death. In order to cause the unconsciousness Johnathan must remain touching, skin to skin, for at the least a minute, if dealing with a small enough creature. A human would take five minutes or longer.
His EBP also causes problems, acting something simmilar to a grenade blast from a human being. It is very taxing on his body, and repeated use of it could cause torn muscles and broken bones. Many of his abilities are similar to it, or are self damaging. Should he attempt to negate the energy released by a roaring fire, he would suffer potentially deadly burns or injuries from the task. Stopping gravitational effects could go wrong and result in shattered paste on the floor, should he attempt to negate a buildings electricity he could stop his heart from the backlash.
Not too mention in all this, he will be blind in three years, and using his powers only hastens the act, leaving him with periodic bouts of blindness. He can not permanantly fry someone's powers as well. He can stop them from utilizing it periodic bouts, and similar to his abilty to cause unconsciousness, five minutes of forcing the abilty to negate itself would leave the abilty useless for at max a day. It is why he is best as a support character, letting others handle the hard stuff while he is there to eventually stop the psychic.
Equipment: Johnathan carries with him an extra pair of glasses at all times. His father's cross is always around his neck. He carries a pack of cigars with him, liking the small more than that of cigarettes. He has a nice cane, made of cherry. The cane has a curve to the handle, allowing it to hang easily without the use of a strap. It is elongated so he may eventually use it to it's full purpose when his eyesight finally goes away fully.
Weakness: Johnathan, for all his power is worth, is still only human. He has a genetic defect known to affect only the first born males, and this defect has always resulted in blindness by the age of thirty. He is not a religious man, despite being a clergyman. He is a highly physical man, and when not able to do so becomes irritable easily and remains jittery until given a task he can work his energy out on. Johnathan's powers tire him out and seem to speed up his blindness. Eventual use of them send him comatose until his body is able to fix the stress his powers cause on the body, from broken bones to more. His powers could backlash and kill him. He sins easily, and he is a smoker. He can only see color blobs, unless he is wearing his glasses. Even then, his eyesight has a very noticeable ring of black from the genetic defect.
