Character Name & Journal: Mark Bryant AKA Echo [personal profile] atypical_echo
Guild Affiliation:Alliance

Plot/CR Hooks: Mark's recently joined into the Alliance, so a lot of his plothooks relate to finding himself comfortable and useful there. He's actually a power mimic who is basically useless on his own, but useful around others (he has a power opt-in. So in general a great way to meet him if your character isn't a magic user is with Mark accidentally copying abilities around other Metas. He's also... Well, he's been mugged a stupid amount of times for someone living in Central, it's hilarious. It's my own running gag.

When it comes to guild related stuff, Alliance members might request backup and thus have Echo suggested to them, so that's an easy way to get him involved in other plots.

Character Motivations: Mark just wants to live his best life, not be experimented on, and feel like he has friends here. Oh, and avoid traumatic memories. He's not that complex on his wants right now. He could use someone to flirt awkwardly with. Multiple people (someone will date him some day but he's not trying TOO hard because he gets he's awkward for metas to be around, and he doesn't know that he could be with someone he can't be honest with).

Also he wants to take a road trip.

Potential Roles: Mark is a great way to have redundant powers in events. Does your character have this heroic thing they need to do but they're worried they don't have enough fire power alone? Bring Echo. Want to help figure out what powers your character has gained that they didn't know before? Mark's great for that, because he sometimes uses them accidentally. Trying to learn your limits and how to control things? Mark is uniquely trained from his history in learning to do this. Just want a guy to listen and tell you that things aren't as bad as they could be? Mark.

Warning: Mark gets VERY ATTACHED to people he's been in stressful/traumatic situations with. If you're in the field with him, he's going to bond some.

Plot Ideas: Not for him, other than maybe one day having his powers overload. (Dude could absolutely end up as a second Starstruck incident, which could be interesting one day)

Roles Needed: No ideas yet.

Event Plans: Mark's a resident of Central City, so he won't be in the bubble itself. That said, since he's with the Alliance, he's going to try and find a way to help. He doesn't have as many friends that don't live in Central so he probably won't go in without motivation.

I don't have as many ideas for him, so if someone wants a companion to head in to save people with them, Mark might be useful. But if people have ideas about how his power copying might help, I'd love to go with that!
