| ABILITIES/ POWERS | DESCRIPTION | NOTES |
|---|---|---|
| Personal Force Field | Zeau can surround the contours of his body with an invisible, armor-like force. | S.D.C.: 64, regenerates 1 S.D.C. per minute, Zeau must spend one attack/action per melee to keep in place. |
| Lift and Hold Objects | Zeau can create a pulling force similar to Telekinesis that can be used to lift/drag objects or people into the air and hold them there. But this power is not Telekinesis, so it cannot be used to flip switches, push buttons or perform any fine manipulation of the objects being held. A roll to strike must be made to grab the target. | Maximum Weight: 900 pounds Range: 280 feet Duration: The object/victim can be held suspended until Zeau ceases his concentration, which is one melee attack/action per round per target to maintain the effect. Zeau can still perform other actions Damage: 2D6 damage by moving the object/victim around and smashing into things. Attacks per Melee: One melee attack/action to grab the target, and one melee attack for each time the victim is moved around. Bonus: +2 to strike when slamming the held object/victim off a specific target. |
| Crush Objects | Zeau can perform a crushing attack on an object/victim being held with the Lift and Hold Objects ability. The attacks/actions per melee needed are accumulative. No roll to strike needed for this power. | Maximum Weight: 900 pounds Range: An object already being held and within 280 feet Duration: The object being held can be crushed until Zeau ceases his concentration. Damage: 6D6 points of damage per melee round, at the end of the round. Attacks per Melee: Slightly more concentration is required than just holding an object. Zeau must spend two melee attacks/ actions per round to maintain the effect. Failure to do so means no damage. Zeau can still perform other actions while maintaining these effects, if he still has attacks per melee left. |
| Pulling Heavy Objects | Heavy objects can be pulled along the ground with the Force Manipulation power | Maximum Weight: 7000 pounds (3½ tons) Range: 80 feet Duration: As long as Zeau concentrates on it. Damage: None. Attacks per Melee: Full concentration is required to pull along an object this heavy, meaning Zeau cannot take any other actions while doing so. He can talk, shout or walk along while towing his burden, but he cannot use any other powers, or make any other kinds of attacks while this ability is being used. |
| Hurl Heavy Objects | Zeau can “pull” an object and launch it towards an oppenent, doing damage to both | Maximum Weight: 7000 pounds (3½ tons) Range: 80 feet Duration: Instant. Damage: The target takes 1D4x10 damage per 100 pounds (round down). The object thrown takes half. Attacks per Melee: This attack requires considerable effort, so it counts as two melee attacks/actions. Bonus: +2 to strike |
| Flight: Wingless | Zeau can fly without any apparent means of propulsion. Maximum speed is 280 mph | Bonuses In Flight: The character can hover several inches above the ground during combat in order to use his full bonuses. Bonuses are already calculated into the character bonuses except as noted: Add +2 to dodge when flying around 90 mph or faster, and add +4 to melee damage for every 20 mph of flight speed. |
| Energy Expulsion: Force | Zeau can generate a force blast similar to being hit by a semi-transparent cannonball from his eyes, or from one or both of his hands. The target of the attack is -2 to parry or dodge. | Range: 200 feet Damage: 3D6 or less as Zeau desires. Attacks per Melee: Each Force bolt counts as one melee attack or action. Divided attacks: Zeau can divide the force to fire two simultaneous blasts at two different targets. Damage is up to 2D6 for one, and 1D6 for the other. Both targets must be in his line of sight. This counts as only one melee attack. |
| Stunt: Force Practice | Time spent honing his abilitities has allowed him to reduce the attacks/ actions needed for many of his powers by one attack/ action, to a minimum of one. | Already factored in above. |

Character Bio:
Nicholas Odon already went through his life feeling superior to others – the discovery of his mutant abilities only made him more sure of it. The hero name he chose is the name of an obscure, ancient god of intelligence that pre-dates the Greek gods. Nicholas believes only someone as smart as him would possibly “get” that. He is a teacher at one of the colleges in Century Station. He became a hero in order to prevent others from suffering from the same tragedies that befell a few of his students.
Family Makeup
Mother: Lulu Odon – Political Activist, fled to Japan from China, then to Texas. She earns money as an editor and journalist for online publications
Father: Unknown (It may be a gift from him – freely given or coerced – that allowed the Odons to live in relative comfort.)
Nicholas Odon –Super Name: Zeau
Younger Twin: Karia Odon – Super Name: Quazi
Karia is seemingly not developing as she should, and may have a congenital birth defect, though not one that has been determined by any of the many doctors she’s seen. Though aged 30, she appears pre-teen. Her emotional/mental/social maturity is also a bit slowed, and she has some other personality defects that the less generous would call psychoses. She recently started manifesting powers, and though Zeau refuses to give his permission, she took upon herself the name Quazi and has done some maverick work around Austin where their mother lives.
