Given Name: Arthur Percival Ainsworth Alias: Kindler, Lord Kindler Furcadia Alt: Arthur Ainsworth Species: Homo Superior Gender: Male Age: 58 Mutation: Typhokinesis - Arthur is able to generate and manipulate smoke, though manipulation of external sources - that is, smoke that he did not generate, himself - is limited to the result of combustion. In other words, he is not able to manipulate air, smog, or any form of gas. The combined components of his mutation allow Arthur to perform a variety of feats, some of which are listed below... Typhokinetic Combat: By swiftly shifting the currents of smoke in a specific direction, Arthur is able to strike at a target with the force one might expect from a small air compression cannon, effectively allowing him to deliver punch-like blows at a ranged distance, using only existing smoke in the area. Typhokinetic Levitation: By releasing plumes of smoke from his body directionally and at a high rate of pressure, Arthur is able to lift himself off of the ground to hover unsupported. However, extended use of this ability is tiring, and the resulting fatigue increases the higher he levitates, thus increasing the required amount of smoke he must generate. Naturally, this becomes easier if smoke already exists in the area due to local combustion. Typhokinetic Suffocation: Though Arthur is strictly against actually killing anyone, no matter the situation, his abilities obviously allow him to produce large amounts of smoke and control that smoke's movement. When applied to a living opponent, this could result in significant smoke inhalation, leading to eventual suffocation and all of the effects leading to that eventuality. Secondary Mutation: Typho-Organic Bonding: The highest level of typhokinetic control Arthur can demonstrate, this ability allows him to bond his organic material with the particles of smoke in the air, effectively allowing him to become smoke, itself. In this form, Arthur is unable to attack anyone or interact with anything in a way that natural smoke would not be able to. However, he is also unable to be harmed, and can achieve a version of typhokinetic levitation much more similar to true flight, given the nature of smoke. A partial realization of this ability allows Arthur to become semi-intangible, allowing objects to pass through his still-formed body, as well as allowing him to pass through bars, fences, chains, etc without disassembling his body. Typhokinetic Teleportation: In line with the typho-organic bonding that Arthur is capable of, he is also able to achieve a localized version of teleportation, remotely "bonding" with a source of smoke and almost instantly shifting his physical form to that location. This is limited to existing sources of smoke, as projecting his own would be inefficient, given the time required. Weaknesses: Air Manipulation: Obviously, anyone with the ability to manipulate the flow of air currents would have a significant advantage against Arthur, effectively removing the smoke that his mutation requires to be of any use. As it is only the solid particles within the gas that he manipulates, Arthur would be unable to match this. Form Shifting: When shifting his form from smoke-based to organic or vice versa, Arthur is extremely vulnerable, stuck in between the conditions of being unable to interact with others during the change and being fully open to any interaction, himself. Physical Description: A tall, thin man, Arthur's hair turned a distinguished shade of silver relatively early, even for someone his age. Most commonly seen wearing the same sort of suit and shined shoes he would wear when he used to perform on stage, he sometimes carries a simple cane with him, as well, though he does not need it to walk. Personality: With a high amount of respect for the proper way of things and a tendency to maintain appearances with pressed clothes and perfectly combed hair, Arthur's abilities may seem to clash with his personality. A calm and quiet man, there is little that seems to bother him, and he regards situations from more of a regal, distinguished, an dignified standpoint, rather than allow emotion to get the better of him. History: Before manifesting his abilities, Arthur made a living as a fairly well-respected magician, earning the name Lord Kindler (or, sometimes, Kindler the Magnificent) for his displays of pyrotechnics in his acts. There were very few tricks that did not, in some way, involve fire, either as a distraction or a potential source of danger during an escape. It was during one of these performances that his mutation manifested, and as the act went on, the theater slowly filled with smoke. Many in the audience believed the smoke to be a part of the show, and it wasn't until the sprinklers were set off and many were sent fleeing the room, coughing and sputtering, that anyone realized something had gone wrong. Chief among those to realize this was Arthur, himself, for he knew better than anyone what the show entailed, and the creation of that much smoke was not intentional. It didn't take long for him to understand that the smoke was coming from his own fingertips. Since that fateful night, Arthur did not dare to perform again, seeing little point. After all, why feign at magnificence when he could develop his talents and become truly great? This, combined with having absolutely no desire to seriously harm anyone - at least, not to the point of the suffocation he was now capable of - left him to harness the powers of his mutation. And what better place to end up than the Carnival? Alongside others of his kind, Arthur has begun performing again, supplementing his show with his mutation to even greater effect. Truly, he believes himself worthy of the title of Lord Kindler now. Possible Future: Perhaps someday, his abilities will develop to the point that he is able to expand his being while in his smoke form, or even fully transform only parts of his body for more precise uses.
