For some reason, the application would not let me submit. So, I'll post it here so that the MOD will be able to read it. Toff, I made the addition that we talked about, let me know if it's enough through email or on here. Thanks.
~Josh
NAME: Phobia
SECRET IDENTITY: Joshua Draiican
MORAL STANDING: Villain
APPEARANCE: Height 6'1, weight 135, eyes are the darkest shade of grey, hair is black and falls down to his shoulders. Joshua Draiican is nearly skeletal in terms of weight. He tends to wear quite a bit of black or dark colors, while maintaining a creepy surrounding around himself. He also sports a three inch goatee.
Phobia wears a long black trench coat that sweeps around his feet, while covering what is held underneath. He also wears a mask made of a strange metal alloy that alters his voice into a demonic, yet almost mesmerizing tone, while enhancing his hearing, sight, and smell to incredible levels. The mask also must be pressed (not too hard/soft) in ten different places to be removed. Only Phobia is known to know how to remove the mask. His hands are always gloved and he also wears military combat boots.
SUPER POWER: Phobia's main super power, or method of attack is the ability to create fear and panic within people, causing imbalance with all of their emotions. In other words, he has total control over the emotion of fear/panic, and cannot be contested in his control, because it is a powerful psychic attack. He mainly does this using phantom images that are visible only to the person(s) that he is affecting (the phantoms will appear to the person(s) and it can be anything that Phobia wants, including their worst enemy, fear, etc), or in their dreams. In their dreams, however, the images are real, and can not cause death, but real physical trauma. **NOTE** These images cannot be repelled by anyone except for the ones being affected. The emotions can be slightly affected by another empath, but not by much. Since his coma, Phobia's power has increased. Also, in the dream state, he can "interrogate" the mind, learning information about the person that they would never release while conscious.**
Also, his being a telepath, he can read minds to a point. Being a powerful empath, he can read every emotion of ANYONE, and can NOT be blocked out of a mind's emotional state. Using his feelings of emotions, he can accurately predict what an opponent might do based on their feelings. Also, he can affect a person's emotions as well. This can mainly be done through touch but can also be accomplished through close distances. He mainly uses it to inspire extreme fear or depression into his enemies, even hopelessness, which is quite helpful in combat.
SUPER WEAKNESS: Phobia's greatest weakness is that his phantom images are all not real, unless in the dream state. Many times, whenever his effect on a person's fear is no longer being done, to balance back to normal, the brain will usually release a high amount of endorphins that provide the victim's body with an almost euphoric sensation - the complete opposite of Phobia's effect, and give them added strength as well. In the dream state, he can be fought off even when he's interrogating by the use of dreams, and if the person wakes up, there is a period of 30 seconds that Phobia takes to readjust into the real world again. Until then, he is helpless.
Phobia's power of directly affecting someone's emotions without the use of phantoms required that he be at LEAST within 15 meters of that person. And it can be done faster and more powerfully the closer he is.
Phobia is also extremely overconfident in his abilities, and will sometimes read too far into a certain emotion or not far enough, causing him to wrong reaction. Especially during battle, this can be troublesome.
STRENGTHS: Joshua is basically a young kid who has lived a hard life. He has no remorse for anything that he does, nor regret for anything that has happened. He has no fear of death, and in truth, is a bit suicidal. This makes him either crazy or brave, but in a bad way.
Joshua is also naturally gifted in the sciences, especially in chemistry. He mainly uses this knowledge to construct powerful bombs.
Also, just being in his presense causes doubt, and slight depression and fear to surface in everyone around him; even the most wartorn and fearless beings will feel its effects. It tends to be a small advantage in battle, but can also give him away to a powerful enough empath.
Also, he was partially trained by an ex KGB agent named Koenig who showed him a few combat moves and how to better understand his opponents.
Phobia robbed his long dead partner in crime, Ava Caulthorne's father, and has become very wealthy becaue of the means that he used to obtain it. The mansion, located at 1525 Cherry Street, has over a dozen rooms, an air conditioned garage, full staff, etc.
WEAKNESSES: Joshua's wish for an early demise has brought him many bad habits. He drinks, smokes, and does drugs, which has made him a bit unstable.
He can also be quite reckless, causing not only himself damage, but the surrounding people, perhaps even allies.
Since his bombs are homemade, sometimes they can be unreliable, or not as powerful as they would seem. He can make mistakes, after all.
LIFE PHILOSOPHY: Phobia's belief on life is "screw everyone and everything". Life has been no board walk for him, so he sees no reason to do for others. He does what he can for himself and no one else.
HISTORY: Joshua Draiican was born in Megatropolis to a drunken father and an abused mother. His mother was the one person that he loved at all, and he loved her unconditionally. His father, a junkie and a drunk, would abuse them both.
However, Joshua, when he was only 6 years old, was placed into a coma by his drunken father. His mother had attempted to protect him, but his father, drunk and high, killed her. And so, with his mother dead and his father standing trial for murder, Joshua remained in the coma that he'd been placed into for nearly 5 years.
At the age of 11, Joshua awoke in the hospital, suddenly hyper aware of everyone around him. He could tell where certain people were, whether they were male or female, and how they were feeling. When the nurse entered his room to find him awake, he found that he was able to read exactly what she was thinking. She touched his hand, almost in disbelief, and he found that he was in a "direct connection" with her mind. He could influence her emotions. On accident, he drove her into a depression that was almost irreversible.
He escaped from the hospital just after that occured, and back to his old home, which had long since been abandoned, just falling to pieces. No one had sold or done anything with the property, just left it to die.
When he was sixteen were some of the most eventful times of his life. He helped destroy Public High School 43 back when he went to school (he does have his diploma, however). His nemesis could be considered to have been John LAW, whom Phobia fought on more than one occasion. He also participated in the murder of dozens of law officers, and destroyed several places that were private property. He has at least two known partners in crime, one being Ava Caulthorne, a fellow empath, and the other being The Countess. Phobia's downfall occured when he destroyed a bar, and SWAT were called in on suspicion of GRIM being there. Phobia was shot at least 9 times, but the mask that he wore protected his head. He lapsed yet again into a comatose state from blood loss, and was taken to the hospital, under armed guard.
That was over two years ago, and now, Phobia has awaken, more powerful and more evil than ever, still wanted by the law for dozens of horrendous crimes, and wanting revenge on those that wronged him, along with the rest of his race.
GEAR: The only gear that Phobia carries is two 15" Bowie knives, a pistol, and a whip, which has the same metal alloy in chips all over it, giving the whip, when cracked, many sharp and deadly edges. On occasion, he carries a sawed-off shotgun. Also, there is his mask, which enhances him and provides protection.
WRITING SAMPLE: (Hopefully, this will be my first post) Phobia had awaken. Emotions and faint thoughts flooded his mind. There were two guards outisde of his door, rookie Corporals. "They stand no chance . . ." Phobia thought to himself. Apparently, since he had rookies guarding him, it had been a very long time since he had last been awake.
The Hospital was quiet today, and more subdued than normal. All was quiet in the big city of Megatropolis. Phobia had been asleep for far too long! Terror had not been felt in the city for some time now, and now was the perfect time.
He rose from the hospital bed, clothed in naught but a hospital gown. He stood over the bed and pressed the panic button, which is what the nurses were supposed to press were he to come back and attempt to take them hostage. The two cops burst into the room, and found a strange visual. A nurse was on her knees, crying, while a deranged looking Phobia towered over her, with a pistol against the back of her head.
"Where the hell did he find a gun?" one of the officers yelled to his partner. "Haven't you heard who this is, he could have gotten it from anywhere!" he yelled back. Phobia smirked and raised the pistol up to the police now in the room, his finger tightening. One of the corporals quickly raised his weapon, and the gun belched three bullets consecutively. One entered Phobia's head, one his neck, and the other his torso. The room was spattered with the essence of Phobia. The teenage terrorist fell backwards, a look of shock on what remained of his face. He lay on the bed, completely still. The firing officer used the radio to call HQ and report the death of the teenage villain Phobia, gave the time and means used.
The nurse got up and abruptly hugged one of the officers, crying her eyes out. Suddenly, the officer himself started to cry. His partner looked at him and moved towards him out of curiosity. A hand snatched his wrist, and he felt a terrible depression loom upon him. There was no way out of this sadness. He couldn't take it anymore! He raised the pistol to his own head and pulled the trigger.
The other officer was still crying, and in shock over his partner's suicide, sank to his knees. Then, the last sight his eyes saw before they were gouged out by bundles of needles was the true Phobia, in his hospital gown, with that infamous smirk on his face. It was one of victory. Everyone would now believe him to be dead, or at least dying quickly, and the way that the officers died would be explained as Phobia's last escape attempt.
He quickly splattered some of the officer's blood on the sheets and on the wall, to give the first appearance of what happened. It wouldn't last very long in the course of the investigation, but long enough for Phobia to reappear as the true villain that he was.
He chortled as he quickly left out the window, climbing down the pipes. Once he hit the street, he took a cab, phantomly disguised, of course, to his former home at 1525 Cherry Street, where he kept his clothing, mask, whip, gun, and knives. After he retrived those, he would be ready to terrorize Megatropolis once again.
(OOC: To 1525 Cherry Street!)

Sushi, tell me how this looks for weaknesses. I reviewed your new rules, and I've added another major weakness. Tell me if this, with the new app above, meets with your approval. Phobia is back, and glad to be back everyone!
SUPER WEAKNESS: *Major Weakness*One of Phobia's greatest weaknesses is that his phantom images are
all not real, unless in the dream state. Many times, whenever his effect on a person's fear is no longer being done,
to balance back to normal, the brain will usually release a high amount of endorphins that provide the victim's body
with an almost euphoric sensation - the complete opposite of Phobia's effect, and give them added strength and
endurance as well, much like a temporarily enhanced human. In the dream state, he can be fought off even when
he's interrogating by the use of dreams, and if the person wakes up, there is a period of 5 minutes that Phobia
takes to readjust into the real world again. Until then, he is helpless.
*Major Weakness* His other great weakness is actually a very simple one: true happiness. Even only a few
normal people can cause physical pain to Phobia now, and psychic pain as well. Concentrated happiness would
be highly painful to Phobia, causing him to refocus all of his energy into turning that happiness into fear and terror
once again. Enough happiness in the surrounding aura is enough to at least partially supress Phobia's powers, and
even drive him into unconscienceness. However, it must be true happiness, not anything temporary. Joy,
however, harms him as well, just not nearly as much as true happiness would. Joy comes and goes.
Phobia's power of directly affecting someone's emotions without the use of phantoms required that he be at
LEAST within 15 meters of that person. And it can be done faster and more powerfully the closer he is.
Phobia is also extremely overconfident in his abilities, and will sometimes read too far into a certain emotion or not
far enough, causing him to wrong reaction. Especially during battle, this can be troublesome.
