Name: Timothy Harris
Nickname:
Affiliation: None (though any gang can snatch him up, or fight for him)
Age: 10
Race: Human, Genetically Altered
Gender: Male
Appearance: Timothy is a young boy, he has an untidy mess of brown hair and has big scared-looking bright blue eyes, he is incredibly pale, he is usually dressed in khaki shorts and a large, oversized white shirt, both of his articles are horribly dirty and torn in several places
Misc: various scars from where scientists performed genetic experiments on him
Weapon(s): None, he is small and has a hard time wielding larger weapons such as rifles, he doesn't have the strength to toss grenades or other thrown objects a large distance away from him making these unwieldable to him, Big guns are right out, pistols and other small weapons he may wield, though since he has no experience with these weapons he is a horrible shot and usually the kickback of such weapons won't allow him to wield them properly
Armor: most armor that affords any protection is to heavy for Timothy to wear and so he doesn't wear any armor or any protective clothing for that matter
Abilities: Timothy isn't able to wield weapons or wear armor so you may be wondering as to how he survives in the wasteland, he holds a unique set of abilities that have been genetically granted to him, an explanation for these abilities can be found in his history, these abilities include
Manipulation of matter: Timothy can manipulate the molecular makeup of matter to create a new substance from the prior one, for instance, he can turn a pile of scrap metal into food, or ammunition, or any number of things for that matter, however, Timothy must first have detailed knowledge of the object he is creating, for instance, if he were to be creating a gun, the gun would have to be taken apart and Timothy would need to study each individual piece and find out exactly how they come together to form the gun, Timothy also cannot manipulate things that are moving at any velocity and he cannot recreate or manipulate living tissue
Kinetic Shields: Timothy can produce under times of stress or excitement, powerful shields comprised of pure energy, these shields are strong enough to withstand ballistics for a time and can even take a direct hit from a missile, though this will usually cause the shield to "short out", while Timothy is generating a Kinetic shield he cannot move or take any action at all, he cannot even open his eyes to view his surrounding, as all his energy is focused on maintaining the kinetic shield
Sensory Manipulation: Timothy can override the sensory organs of living creatures, he replaces the image that might contain him with another previous image that the organism may have seen before, or using its subconscious, paints a picture that resembles what should be there, basically, when a person looks in the direction of Timothy, instead of a neural signal that travels to the brain and tell him that he is seeing Timothy, Timothy plucks this signal away and instead replacing it with one that tells his brain he is NOT seeing Timothy, he also does this with any sound, or smell that might indicate that Timothy is in the vicinity, Timothy must focus on his subject the entire time he is doing this, if he breaks concentration for even a second he will be revealed, he also has to be in sight of a target, he cannot do this to someone around a corner
There are various chemical compounds and automated testing facilities scattered loosely around the wasteland that may hold the key to unlocking further abilities for Timothy
Personality: Timothy was taken as a young child and experimented heavily upon, as such, he is frightened easily and has a hard time trusting or connecting with anything he finds "scary" or daunting, however, being an impressionable young child he can be manipulated quite easily, he trusts easily and tends to stick close to people whom he feels safe around, these people could be kind do-gooders or merely more sinister folk who are pretending to be the bastion of love and safety in order to manipulate Timothy and use his abilities to their own ends
History/Background: Timothy was a young, pre-war child whom on a routine doctor checkup was found to have very strange DNA, he was abducted by the government and studied extensively, they found that Timothy held very malleable and easily manipulated DNA, they immediately began shipping Timothy to different testing centers where they performed experiments and various other tests on his DNA, he was eventually shipped to a large facility where they cryogenically froze him and, while frozen, performed genetic experiments upon him, the original plan was to use him in the war, but being a child his usefulness would be slight, the Enclave decided to use him as the ultimate weapon for reclaiming the wasteland after the bomb fell so they set up the machines to thaw him from time to time so that when they finally needed him he would be an advlt and stronger than the child he was now, however, when the bombs hit, one severed the link to the facility and he was never thawed, after many years a malfunction rocked the facility, shutting it down, Timothy thawed and escaped, making a new life for himself in the wasteland
(( I know Timothy has some strange abilities that may seem a bit OP to some, but adding the fact that he has no combat abilities whatsoever i think this makes him pretty fair, in the story i was thinking that the various factions could find out about Timothy and fight over him, i mean, he's a veritable pint-sized weapons factory lol ))
