Abilities/Powers: Light Bullet: He is able to fire short beams of dense light that burns holes in anything it contacts, his range is limited to the firearm he uses and is only able to use his power through a firearm, if he tries to use a sword he is unable to use it at all, though he is very proficient in swordsmanship of both Japanese and European disciplines, he prefers the use of firearms as they allow him to use his power, so he is always carrying at least two handguns with him, for personal protection, he can also use his power to accelerate the speed of bullets, by adding small amounts of light to the ignition of the bullets to increase their power, he can also fluctuate the density of the light he is able to shoot, to a greater degree as well, he can shoot very dense beams of light that are longer and wider than usual, as well as with much more intense heat.

The drawbacks to his ability are that if he uses his ability for more than thirty minutes, it can drain his stamina immensely to the point the can pass out during a fight, so he tends to avoid using his power unless in an urgent or dire situation, he can also become groggy and light-headed if he doesn‘t control the output of his power, which decreases his focus and he can also be rendered unconscious in a shorter time than normal, he can only use his maximum power output for ten minutes before being rendered either, very sluggish, immobile or unconscious, depending on how long he uses his maximum power output, within the ten minute time frame he is able to do so


History: Pablo had a hard life, born and raised for the most part in Colombia; He was born in Cartagena, one of Colombia’s main cities, born to Elena and Julio, raised in a rough neighborhood with divorced parents he saw things that many kids would never want to see. At the age of five he fought his father, while fighting pulled a knife on him and stabbed him, his father took the knife and slashed his eye (that’s where one scar is from) Pablo's father was arrested for transporting drug from one part of Colombia to another part, a few months later, though he held a legit job he also made money on the side for the family and after he was arrested and sentenced to fifteen years, he told Pablo’s mother where his money was so they could live off it along with her job.

At the age of six he was playing down the block from his house with a couple of his friends, when a black Honda sedan rolled up across the street and the people inside riddled three men with countless bullets, watching this Pablo and his friends were so scared that they were frozen in their tracks as the guns stopped and the car drove off. Though this wasn’t the last time he witnessed events such as those, over time he began to get used to them although he still did get scared, he became accustomed to the noise of the bullets.

At age seven he and his best friend Angelo were walking down a street which they didn’t know was controlled by drug dealers, a man approached them and asked them in Spanish “Do you guys wanna make some quick money?” They both nodded and agreed; since money was always tight where they were from, they were willing to do things they knew were wrong to make some scratch. The man asked them to deliver a pack of drugs to another dealer a few blocks away, since they knew the area pretty well they delivered it quickly and came back to the man and gave him the money they received, the man gave them a generous portion for each of them and told them “Whenever you guys want to make some money, look for me.” Ecstatic they left the block and spent their money happily on what kids their age loved to spend money on, toys, candy, food and playing cards. After a while they were able to help their families and afford small luxuries such as radio and television.


He began to grow up watching television, but his mother always stressed studies and learning, so he would always read books before he would go to sleep or in school when he wasn’t in class or hanging out with friends, his mother would sit in the living room of their apartment on her days off from work and listen to the radio, he would tune radio stations whenever she started cooking, the first time he used the radio, he tuned to a hip-hop station, though not knowing what kind of music it was, he was drawn to the lyrics and instantly became addicted to the genre, he later discovered the name as he listened to the music more. He immediately loved martial arts after seeing his first Shaw brothers’ production "The four elements." After seeing the movie, he convinced his friend to become his sparring partner and the two began to play-fight at first, playfully tussling and kicking around, but as they watched more and more, they began to mimic the stances and actions, after a while learning to put strength into their attacks and harnessing their accuracy. They began to take it seriously and improved their capacity overtime, though not masterful, they learned by paying attention to the movies and accounting for what was said. Already in school Pablo would get into fight with other kids and often resort to undisciplined fighting, but as he improved with Angelo, he began to use such techniques whenever he had problems in the schoolyard, in-school or outside of school

As he got older he began to realize and become more conscious of how the world around him worked, at the age of twelve he was already involved in a few robberies and a significant amount drug deals, he learned how to mix drugs and he learned how to sell them quickly and quietly, as a child running around was a habit, but from his growing experience in stealth and agility he began to use running as a form of quick transport from one place to another, often climbing fences and climbing houses, he began to learn to jump from roof to roof between houses, to cut between blocks and avoid police. He didn’t have a huge reputation, but he was known locally by people, though he didn’t sell anything he was known to be reliable and helpful. Him and his friends were popular in school and in their neighborhood, they made their money helping transport drugs and assisting in robberies and deals but not too frequently, he knew that was his father’s mistake and that he was caught because of his lack of control. Though in his neighborhood it was hard to keep control of his participation in those activities, he still managed to do so. Many times he was able to avoid police because of his developing skill, but his first time, he couldn't execute a jump from roof to roof on a small house and fell to the floor and was apprehended by military police, having the package confiscated he was imprisoned for a day in the precinct before he was bailed out by a dealer from the group he worked with. After that he never got caught or failed a roof jump again as a point of survival.

At age fourteen he was selling and organizing with the groups of dealers in Cali, with his friend Angelo he was able to expand the business of the small group and they were both rewarded with positions, going home that day they explained to their families what they were doing, Angelo’s parents were infuriated, but knew they couldn’t do anything or prevent him from working for them. Pablo never told his mother, but instead told her that he was accepted into a boarding school in a different part of the country, where they would pay for his room and board, where he would also be able to work while studying, thrilled yet confused she believed him, and he was gone the next day. They began to distribute around the acquired areas and after a few days they found a place for residence, they began to organize more concise methods of distribution.

They developed a small network of homeless and neighborhood children to distribute the drugs and earn for themselves, never forgetting school Pablo and Angelo would go every morning, while the children made runs and kept safe in the house, both of them began to show children how to fight and defend themselves whenever they were hanging out with them in their houses, showing them by fighting each other and then demonstrating how they focused their strength and accuracy, every night they would all have big brawls in the backyard of the house and beat each other for fun, then after a few months they began to actually take the fighting serious and hardened their skills as well, the children began to act wildly after learning such skills, Pablo and Angelo would reprimand them after completing runs if they ever heard about such troubles, they would at times beat some of them to a serious point for harsh behavior, but after a few children receiving beating they stopped hearing of abuses and disturbances. A few kids resented them, but after the cease of disturbances, they explained and rewarded the children they had beaten.


At age seventeen he had an established network and hindrance didn't exist, he was able to make all his problems disappear, military police never bothered his runners or came to his home because he had them on pay roll, all the children from the neighborhood were no longer struggling, those that were homeless were able to live together, everyone in their neighbored knew who they were and any significant disturbances were handled by their runners or themselves if the situation was serious enough. At this time, they had managed to stockpile quite a bit of guns, so they managed to arm their runners, but they still had a significant number of guns, so the three decided to arm the shops in their neighborhood for the sake of them not having to handle every disturbance and their runners could focus.

Spending four years within the guerrilla camp he learned an immense amount about warfare, marksmanship with every kind of weapon possible, swordsmanship, hand-to-hand combat, psychological warfare, smuggling, theft, stealth, explosives improvisation and hacking as well. When he turned fifteen, he discovered his power, on a raid to a drug lord‘s mansion, he found himself close to capture and without ammunition, outnumbered by ten men, he was hidden behind a wall of which the opening lead into a big lavish looking living room. All of a sudden he felt his entire body become warm, then electric as all the hair on his body stood up, looking down at his hands, he saw them begin to glow dimly, hoping he could use this new found trait of his to gain the advantage over the enemies at hand, he came out from around the wall and started pulling the trigger, to his astonishment, beams of dense light began to exit the barrels of the two glocks he had in his hands, as they came in contact with the men in-front of him, the shots of light began to penetrate their bodies by burning holes in them and every single enemy dropped dead.

There were several raids the camp made, where the troops would bring back books, from drug lord’s mansions, after freeing villages and helping them rebuild a bit, through those times Pablo was able to educate himself well also, studying, subjects like history, biology, physics, chemistry, psychology, anatomy, botany, more efficient survival tactics, nutrition, agriculture and architecture, although, he mainly focused on a few of those subjects, he always learned the basics of each to at least be able to contribute to the camps infrastructure, as well as focusing on his training for his new found power. On a raid on a national military compound he was injured and captured while helping his fellow soldiers escape with supplies, being caught by surprise and not knowing the full function of his power, he was drugged, interrogated and shot, being left for dead, then thrown into the jungle and left to die, fortunately he was rescued by his comrades and was able to recover.

At the age of twenty-one in the latter end of his final year with the guerrilla group, he had helped establish strong holds and their influence through the regions they freed, helped solidify the ability for the people and the guerrilla group to work together to ensure their mutual stability and expanse, he helped spread teaching human lie-detection and behavior analysis, through all of the guerrilla groups’ camps, they were able to keep destructive soldiers out as well as spies, while being able to continuously infiltrate enemy groups to increase stability throughout the regions, as well as reinforcing their infrastructure. Pablo decided to leave the group as well as the country, taking his mother with him, as well as allowing his father to be aware and having someone help him with his time in jail before helping him as well to leave the country.

Leaving their country, they decided to move to New York City into the center of the city, they ended up living in a portion of the city, called The Lower East Side, at first they lived in a small apartment in a lively and somewhat dangerous part of the city, yet as Pablo made more and more money selling drugs, from growing marijuana in a separate apartment he was able to rent near his own and working, as well as beginning his financial investment, as well as begin comprehending his quirk much better, having used it in several instances to save others and himself, after a year, he was able to move his mother and himself, to a much bigger and more expensive apartment in a different part of the city named. He also became exposed to culture of Hip-hop even more and it allowed his business grow even more, as he began participating in the culture, becoming a virtuoso in the culture as an Emcee, Graffiti Artist, Break-Dancer and Music Producer, learning independently as well as from clients he would sell to as he expanded his business. He also began to receive martial arts instruction in styles such as Muay-Thai, Boxing, Krav-Maga, Jeet-Kune-Do, Judo, Jujitsu, Taekwondo, Capoeira(used mainly for his break-dancing), Etc.… as his business grew, further polishing his combat abilities.

At that point he was twenty-four and had already established a significant network of drug trafficking through the entire city, his experience as a soldier and spy gave him an immense advantage, he was able to maintain his entire network covert for the three years he lived in New York City, his lifestyle was lavish yet covert as well, he remained in control of a significant portion of the drug market, as well as expanding his network entirely throughout the city, being able to avoid violent incidents through tact and diplomacy, with being able to distribute equal portions of the market, working in tandem with other groups to achieve a very stable balance and peace. After three years he managed to get his father into New York City from his country, he left his family in the city he decided with completely legitimate support through his investment portfolio to move to California and possibly expand his business, depending on his experience where he decided to move.

At this point the was twenty-six and had been living in Chula Vista, California for a year, he conducted business on a small scale to maintain a low profile, yet he had to move his merchandise to more potent drugs, as California had legalized marijuana a long time ago. He never really ran into much trouble because of his low profile, as well as being able to avoid any serious issues that involved the use of his power, making sure to keep it secret from the standard human, as well as his business associates, with his knowledge, he was able to maintain peace in his hectic life and enjoy himself, as he grew his wealth, by working and his illicit business. He was able to own his own home and car, as well as several items he found necessary for his business, such as weapons and a stash house for his merchandise with a few guards he managed to hire and train properly. His life was stable as he went about his days.
