(Celebrity claim Liam Neeson.)
Allies:
- Personal Body Guard
Power/Special Ability:
- Essence
With this ability Viktor is able to sense a person’s essence which appears to him as an aura around the person in question. An ordinary person has what Viktor calls “life essence” which Viktor can tell the person age by viewing.
Those with special abilities have both life essence and “special essence.” Just by looking at a person Viktor can tell if they have or had a special ability, and can even somewhat tell what type of ability they have. For example, by looking at someone who has the ability to manipulate plants Viktor knows their ability has something to do with the earth or Viktor may smell an ashy smell or feel heat when near someone who has Pyrokinesis.
According to Viktor each person has their own unique essence and he is able to discern between them. - Essence Absorption-
Essence Absorption enables one to absorb the “life essence” from someone, rendering them either lifeless or aged, depending on the amount Viktor absorbs. With this ability Viktor is able to prolong his own life or heal himself by taking the essence from others. - Special Essence Absorption-
Those with special abilities or powers, like Viktor, have an essence other than life essence, Viktor calls this Special Essence. S.E.A. enables Viktor to absorb special essence from a person rendering them powerless. - Essence Transfer-
Essence Transfer is Viktor’s ability to transfer his own essence, or essence he has absorbed, to another person. This enables Viktor to prolong the life of another an even potentially heal others. This also encompasses Viktor to transfer special essence into a person bestowing upon them the special ability that essence pertains too.
Limitations:
- Essence
Viktor can use his ability if someone is within range of him, meaning, someone’s essence cannot be captured on video or viewed through a monitor thus he cannot sense someone’s essence unless he can see them himself.
Essence Absorption and Essence Transfer require physical contact. - Essence Absorption-
By absorbing someone’s life essence Viktor is able to prolong his own life but only by the amount of essence he takes from them. Thus by taking ten years worth of essence from a person Viktor prolongs his life by ten years. He can also heal himself through the same process, only instead of prolonging his life it heals his wound or disease. - Special Essence Absorption-
By absorbing someone’s Special Essence Viktor can render them powerless. Viktor can absorb someone’s special essence apart from their life essence, or both at the same time.
When absorbed Viktor sees their special essence in combination to his own, but is unable to use their special ability.
Viktor explains this as “Like a power in a glass vault in his body. He can see it and feel it, just not use it.” - Essence Transfer-
Viktor can transfer essence he’s absorbed into another person to either prolong their life as he does or heal them from a wound or disease. The greater the wound or disease the more essence required and the more risk is placed upon Viktor’s life.
Personality:
Viktor is a cold hearted ruthless person whose only goal is self preservation. Throughout his life Viktor has become an excellent manipulator, capable of emulating emotions to fool others in order to achieve his own selfish desires. Viktor puts on a persona of a powerful and confident leader when really his fear of death makes him a ruthless coward scurrying away from his own demise.
There is nothing Viktor won’t do to escape death, including sacrificing any innocent life at hand.
Viktor believes he’s a God like figure among men, his power granted to him to live for his desires for an eternity. Viktor is quick to judge, especially those like him. He treads carefully around those more powerful than him, he’s quick to place those of use to him in a position to where he can be of use, and those with the power that aren’t worthy are just another Prometheus undeserving of their power which he is more than willing to relieve them of.
Biography/History:
Much is unknown about who Viktor F. Valentine might really be. To the public he’s just another rags to riches kind hearted soul who gives to charities, married the women of his dreams and now a widower due to her terminal illness. The truth being he’s a ruthless viper who’ll stomp you under his heel if possible. Viktor is intelligent enough to keep himself wealthy enough to get what he wants and have some pull, while at the same time being able to walk down the street without worry of being recognized.
He appears to be in his mid to late forties, though his doctor would say he’s as healthy as a horse, not surprising as Viktor is not slow to use his ability to keep his heart beating. Viktor trust very few people, though he isn’t shy to appear as trusting. He believes he has few enemies with his type of capabilities, and even fewer allies. Though he does trust his personal bodyguard, enough that he’s even bestowed powers that he’s stolen upon him
Viktor does his best to keep his ability secret, and goes even farther to keep his true identity unknown. Viktor does however attempt to locate and incorporate those like him into his circle, as a hobby of course because in his own words “eternity is a long time to spend doing nothing.” His only real goal is to have them as “tools” to be used when needed.
