(I'm really excited about this Character, cuz the powers actually came to me in a dream! Seriously! The dream was just so cool I HAD to turn the powers into an ultra-cool new character! I'll look forward to rping him very very soon! ^^)
Name: Gabriel “Gabe” Adams
Alias: Clockstopper
Age: 14
Powers: Time manipulation. He has a special watch, a stop watch, that can control time within a selected area. However, he can only control time in that area for so long, and the range of area he can control is limited as well. It all depends on how much power the watch has. It’s power is used up with how much the watch is used, and replenishes itself over a period of time, depending on how much power was used. If all the power is drained it takes 30 minutes until it’s power is replenished full again, and it can’t be used until then.
Weaknesses: The limits of his time control, and also if he manipulates time for too long in one area, he will lose control and whatever changes were made there become stuck that way and he is forever unable to change it. Because of this he is very cautious of how he uses his powers.
Status: Good, Neutral
Appearance: Black hair with shaggy bangs that reach the tip of his dark blue eyes. Slightly darker skin, wearing a long-sleeved pale blue shirt with a thick green stripe across the front and both sleeves on the upper arm. Dark blue jeans, black and blue sneakers and a special watch with a brown band and a gold rim, and a silver face with 3 dials on it that represent the Past, Present, and Future and another smaller dial that depicts a number on it, the numbers turning to show in a slot (like the mileage in a car, I forgot what it’s called ^_^
. On the sides are a few buttons which control time. The watch looks old, like it was from the early 1900's.
Personality: Nice and sweet, and somewhat shy. He is eager to help and is sincere and honest. He is very careful about how much or how long he uses his powers because he knows the dangers that lie within relying on them too much. He is an independent and brave person but he also has little self-confidence and can be a little naive at times.
Likes: To help others
Dislikes: Making mistakes that get others hurt
Friends: Jack, Sapphire, Kira, Neon, Upgrade, and Melody
Foes: The Time Chasers
Goals: To find out how to completely control his powers so there aren’t so many risks to using them, and find out where the mysterious watch came from. He also wishes to find his father.
History: When Gabe was a little boy, he lived with his Mother and Grandfather in an old antique shop which his Grandfather owned. His father disappeared when he was born, for unknown reasons and his whereabouts remain a mystery to this day. He loved his Grandfather and Mother, however, very much and enjoyed his life with them. He loved the stories his Grandfather would tell him, and enjoyed his antique shop very much and hoped to take over someday. He was fascinated by antiques and history, and grew to have as much a love for antiques as his Grandfather. He was especially interested in a watch that someone sold his Grandfather. It was an old wristwatch from the early 1900's, but it didn’t need to be wound. The workmanship was exquisite, and it bore many beautiful designs of the moon, sun, and stars. The magnificent watch was truly a sight to behold, and with it came a Legend.
The Legend was that the watch could control time, and was created by a brilliant inventor who discovered how to control time and stored the power in the watch. He gave it to his son, an English soldier, who later used it to save his family from the conflicts of the war. However, a General in the war found out about the watch and it’s powers and greedily sought to get it. To make sure it would not fall into the wrong hands, the soldier buried it away and it was never found.
However, it was more than a Legend.
Gabe one day looked at the watch and put it on to see if it would fit, just out of curiosity. Sure enough, it was a perfect fit. However, when he tried to get it off, he couldn’t. The watch wouldn’t come off. Afraid his Grandfather would be infuriated if he found out, he told no one. The day after he was walking home from school and was bullied by boys in a grade higher than him, and he desperately cried out for them to stop and unwittingly froze time on the boys. Unsure of how he did what he did, and somewhat frightened, he fled. He told his Grandfather what had happened and he made Gabe promise not to tell a soul of what had transpired. The following evening, 2 strange men in black trench coats came to the shop, demanding the watch from his Grandfather. When he refused to give it to them, they raided the house to take it by force, destroying the antique shop. His Grandfather quickly told Gabe to flee and not to let the watch fall into the wrong hands at any cost. Gabe fled but when he had only gone a little distance he turned back and saw that his home was ablaze. He ran back to try and save his Grandfather and Mother but it was far too late. They had perished in the flames. Refusing to give up, he desperately tried to use the watches’s powers to reverse time so this never happened. It worked, but he then learned that he was unaffected completely by what the watch did. Taking this to his advantage he reversed time and drew the 2 strange men away from the house and fled, with them hot on his tail. He then stopped time on them so he could get away.
Knowing that going back would only endanger his Mother and Grandfather, he instead set out to try and figure out how to remove the watch, so this nightmare would end and he could return home again. His only clue to this whole ordeal was his father, whose name was inscribed on the watch’s band. So he set out to find his Father, and hopefully the answers to all of his questions
