Strengths and Weaknesses

Powers :
Astral Chains - Zorha can make chains appear from any point on his body that can extend and act as either a form of attack or support. The chains themselves are ethereal in appearance and are quite strong and durable. They can move and extend at about 150 feet per second, and can lift cars and medium sized vehicles easily.

Zipline - The chains that Zorha produces can attach to surfaces and retract, acting like something similar to a zipline for movement. They may be similarly used as ropes to swing on. These two methods in combination are what allow Zorha to move around from place to place quickly.

Soul Shock - After extensive continuous contact with Zorha's chains, one's soul becomes susceptible to a Soul Shock. This technique scratches the soul of the target and causes immense pain to radiate throughout the entirety of their body for but a brief moment. The pain is purely psychological and does no real physical harm.

Ether Drive - Causes the power and efficacy of Zorha's abilities to rise. Think of this as a limit breaker with a duration of about ten minutes that doubles his ability value. After the time limit is up, Zorha will collapse and pass out until the time of activation the next day.
Abilities: Close Quarters Combat - Scythe | Freerunning
Equipment: A large scythe, which is his weapon of choice
Weaknesses: Power dampening abilities, mind altering abilities, long range/drawn out combat.

Legal Status: Currently a student.
General: I can go deeper if I need to, but it was already pretty long so I tried to keep it simpler.

Before Zorha was born, he died. More accurately, his mother died while he was in the womb. She had been in the hospital in the final stages of pregnancy. Everything was looking great until she went into labor. Her body could not handle the stress of birthing a child, and she died not long into the process. When she died, Zorha's soul was extracted along with his mother's. While she rose up into the sky towards the radiant, silver lined sky, He stayed next to her lifeless corpse. He was stuck like that until they managed to extract his body from his mother. He could feel his essence being drawn back into the husk that he had left, and surely enough he was pulled back into his body. This forged a connection between him and the Ether, the realm of souls.

Years passed without incident, and he lived his young life with his single father. He never knew his mother, but that never stopped him from missing her. In school he would see all the other kids getting in cars with their mothers and fathers, wondering why he couldn't have had that happiness. He would often lie awake at night, wondering what it was like to be in a happy family. Some of the other kids would pick on him for not having a mom, but he wouldn't let it show how much it hurt to hear those things to them. That was what they wanted. Zorha bottled all of those emotions up until they exploded one day. On that fateful day he had had enough of the pain and sadness that those kids were causing him. The sadness turned to rage, and he let out a rage filled cry. Chains sprouted from various parts of his body and wrapped around the children who had brought sadness onto him. They were lifted high above the ground and swung around pitifully until one of the teachers came and saw the horrid scene that was unfolding. That teacher had been one of the only ones he really talked to, and had come to see them as an alternate parental figure when he was having trouble in school. What else could they do in the face of a super powered child? He felt the embrace and slowly started to calm down. Eventually Zorha broke down in the arms of the teacher. The other students were released, and the chains slowly receded back into his body. Zorha passed out after the chains receded, was immediately expelled due to the potential harm he could cause to other students.

When he turned fifteen, Zorha began to become curious about what happened that day, and decided to try to experiment and see what he was capable of. He began with trying to resummon the chains that had exploded out of him on that day. Sure enough, they came out, but much slower than last time. They were a beautiful silver color and glowed with a warm astral light. He could move them without touching them, but not very proficiently. He didn't want his dad to discover that he was using this power, so he waited until night fell and would go out after dark every day to practice using his power. He spent the rest of that year practicing movement and precise control with the chains until he was proficient and could multitask with them. He would often go out running to let off steam from any pent up stress, and one day chanced upon an old fashioned weapons store. It was night time and the shop was closed, but he saw something that he could not help but want. A scythe that was silver in color, but not reflective. He hid from the cameras and sent his chains into the store. He managed to drag the scythe outside and quickly went home, hiding the weapon in the attic of his house. When he would go out to practice using his chains he would often bring the scythe with him and practice with it as a form of self defense. You never know when you might encounter someone that wants to hurt you.

One day, when he was using his chains to play around, he discovered that they could attach to other surfaces. He tried to retract the first attached chain, but that just ended up with him getting yanked towards a wall. Eventually, he discovered how to release it, and began to incorporate that technique into his practice. That technique took another two years to perfect the timing for sticking and releasing. At this point he was eighteen, and wanted to leave the house and go find a place where he could belong. His father was against it because he knew how harsh the world was towards metahumans and insisted that he stay just one more year to prepare for a new life. Despite all of the trouble that Zorha had been in, his father still loved him from the bottom of his heart even though he was scared of him at times. His father spent that final year teaching him everything he knew about the world and how to survive. That year they heard about a school opening up specially for metahumans like Zorha that would have trouble going into society or controlling their powers. Zorha agreed to be sent there to learn more about himself and how to fit into society.
