Ballistic Telekinesis

Telekinesis is the ability to manipulate objects and matter with one's mind. The user can influence/manipulate/move objects/matter with their mind. Telekinesis is one of the basis of many superpowers that are based on "controlling/manipulating", and may evolve to the point that a Telekinetic can control anything at a microscopic level. The ability is heavily effected by the users emotions. While it will be possible for Alaric to gain control and learn how to use his telekinesis, he will never be able to fully control it as he won't be able to stop it from lashing out when he is in intense emotional states.

Ballistic Telekinesis is the power to manipulate destructive/violent telekinetic force and is a variation of Telekinesis. This part of the ability is incredibly unstable. When in a fit of emotions, like anger or sorrow; the user causes strange things to happen. When in a huge anger spurge the user could hurt others with their telekinesis, unable to control it themselves. They become a being of complete destruction. It's possible for the user to learn how to control this part of them, but only in the sense that they could learn to use the abilities of it willingly... They still wouldn't be in control of it when in extreme emotional states.

His telekinesis is incredibly strong, there not being much he wouldn't be able to do however this will be explored though roleplay. As his telekinesis grows, the ballistic effects will get worse... From things flying at insane speeds, explosions created with telekinetic force, and even disintegration. The true potential of this destructive force will be explored in RP.

Empathy: An ability that is not yet developed. Aalaric will be able to feel the emotions of others.

History:

Alaric was the first born to Martha and Richard Ballard, followed by his little sister Ava. Alaric was always a pretty fit kid and his grades were pretty good, he wasn't a dumb kid. He grew up rough housing with his father and the two had a pretty good relationship. They lived in a trailer park and survived off their dad's SSI while their mom worked as a waitress part time. Being a soldier wasn't something Alaric always wanted to be, in fact it was far from what he wanted. As a kid he was always incredibly intuitive in the kitchen, and spent a lot of his time watching cooking shows. He was always incredibly self conscious of his passion though. He had an incredibly close relationship with his home economics teacher names Ms. Givens. She was the only one he felt comfortable enough with sharing his passion, not even his own family. She greatly encouraged him to go to Culinary School, and he did once he graduated high school... But college wasn't for him. His friend, Joel Reed was enlisting in the marines and something about that was appealing to the Ballard. He always had a fascination for the military, since he was younger and he was always a very fit guy... So he decided to give it a shot.

Alaric soon found out that the real discipline for a Marine was mental, learning how to tough things out and be tougher than the enemy. He was eventually deployed as a machine gunner and was given the nickname "Maverick". Alaric did plenty of missions alongside his best friend Joel and he actually enjoyed his job, he loved doing something important and that mattered. Well, he did up until one day in Afghanistan. Being the lead machine gunner and first squad leader, Ric's staff sergeant knew he had a lot of experience and asked where they should place everyone in the convoy. Alaric placed himself in the first vehicle, knowing that it was the most dangerous position as it would hit an IED(Improvised Explosive Device) first. He placed Joel and a few other people he considered friends - Alexander Martinez, and Miranda Clark in the last vehicle, figuring they'd be safer. He was wrong.

It was early in the morning when they hit an IED while traveling down one of the roads. It didn't explode under the first truck, the one Alaric was in. Instead it exploded under the last vehicle. Miranda was killed instantly. Alexander was thrown from the turret and landed on the ground, both of his legs shattered. Joel, somehow wasn't killed instantly. Immediately, the rest of the team quickly created a 360-degree safe zone around the convoy so that the injured could be medevaced. Alaric held onto his best friend's hand tightly as he laid in the dirt road. There was blood everywhere and screams filling the air. With tear stung eyes, he told Joel to hang in there that he would be okay, help was on the way. No, he didn't just tell him... He demanded it. He wasn't allowed to go, he couldn't die. Joel could barely speak, his body covered in severe burns and blood. The solider tried to grab at the necklace around his neck and Alaric quickly pulled it off of him, to put it in his hand - in between both of their palms as he just gripped him tightly. Joel's eyes fluttered open and shut, as he tried to fight through it and Alaric watched the moment that life left his eyes. He felt the moment his body went limp. The Marine tried to stay strong, but he broke into a million pieces and then - boom - there was another explosion.

As the smoke cleared and the ringing in his ears stopped, Alaric looked around. Two more soldiers were gone, and he didn't know how many were injured, including himself. As enemy forces raided their safe area that they set up, Alaric threw himself over Alexander Martinez who was still alive. They shot Alaric multiple times, and before they could do more reinforcements showed. Alaric laid there on top of Alexander, the pain was insane but Alaric was content. He protected his fellow soldier, friend, and even if that meant his life... He was okay with it. He let go... It was time to leave this world.

Or so he thought. Alaric woke up in the hospital, confused. The doctors told him that he was a miracle, that he should've been dead but somehow every bullet managed to miss any vital organs. But that wasn't right, he was shot so many times... There was no way. Even if it were possible the blood loss alone should've killed him. The staff just told him to not question a miracle, and be glad he was alive. Little did he know, his ability manifested and manipulated the bullets to save his life. Everyone called him a hero. But he wasn't, he was just a man doing what he was supposed to do - serve his country.

Alexander was also hospitalized, and Alaric managed to see him while admitted. He was in extreme pain but Ric had faith he could make it through. Alexander was so grateful to Alaric, and was one of the many who drove home the fact that he was a hero. Sadly, Alexander's injuries were too extreme on his body and pain medication wasn't working. He died of a heart attack. Being one of the only survivors of his squad, Alaric felt lost and survivor's guilt began to eat him alive. He blames himself for what happened, because he was the one who decided on the positions that day in Afghanistan. He wasn't strong enough to save them.

Ric was in the hospital for a while and because of it, he missed his best friend's funeral which ate him up even more. When given his belongings, he found the necklace that belonged to Joel. Somehow he was gripping it when the second bomb went off. He lifted the necklace and saw that it was an angel's wing with the words "come home soon" engraved on the back. It took everything in the man not to break down. The necklace was given to Joel by Alaric's younger sister Ava who was his wife.

Alaric has now been released and has moved in with his parents and is suffering with PTSD and survivor's guilt from the war. He's put three metal tags on his boots, attached to the laces and each are carved with the last names of the three friends he lost. Reed. Clark. Martinez.
