Biography
An up and coming comedian. Funny guy that is able to create more or less perfect impressions, at least sound wise. Though not by any means terrible at impressions with the other things. From Gotham but currently resides in New York City.
Born in a bad part of Gotham city, which is saying a lot for that city, as it is already riddled by crime and similar. His family being a poor one he did spend his younger years doing bad things. While at the same time having his powers develope from within. Though he has always had some of it, such as his hearing and lungs as well as the subtle whispering and loud scream. If not as powerful as he is as a grown man. While he has this powers his parents do not, or they are so subtle that it is not noticeable. As he has a younger sister who also has powers.
Throughout his teenage years he ran with gangs, shoplifting and similar. Trying to help his family get food, even if there might be better ways to do so. Finally ending up in prison for a couple of years. While in there having his powers grow to full fruition. Also meeting a lot of powerful people.
When he came out he was quick to try and go into comedy, something he had tried his hand on before being sent to prison. Now being quite successful and doing right for his old wrongdoings. Finally having to move to New York as his fame grew, as that was a more common spot for the big time comedians. Buying his parents a place to live in the outskirts, in the suburbs, of New York City.
Despite being gone from Gotham he keeps sending money to charities and helping in rallies to help the city. As well as doing his best for his current home, even the occasional stopped mugging. Though he does not don a cape or costume, nor being a known hero at all.
The current situation for him is living in an apartment by himself. Making a name for him and people actually knowing him, if not huge yet. Though the computer and the social medias help to spread his name. Especially sites such as Youtube. While having a codename he has never publically used it. He is not a hero, by his own commission. He helps people in need, though keeps from being known. Or doing normal human things, along with tricking the thugs. Nothing on a grand scale, which fits him fine.

Character Details
The funny guy jester of his group. Though as he's grown he has gotten more comedic timing, if still being a bit quick to talk and say what he think, which can end up getting him in trouble. Rather kind and supportive, despite his misdoings in the past. Knowing he's not always right and knowing he's not the best of people. He takes life at it comes and deals with it through wit and quick thinking, of though he's often a bit headstrong.
Mimicry |
Able to copy any sounds he has heard before. From doing impressions of other people as well as animal sounds or even effects, such as sirens. |
Perfect Pitch |
Able to use his voice to keep in pitch as well as hitting all notes and even tap into different frequencies of sound. Even those unheard to the human ear. Such as the ones that only dogs hear. Though certain sounds strain on him if he uses it too much. Such as a glass shattering frequency would cause him to have to rest his voice if he uses it too long. Too much use of hard unhuman sounds can cause him to go mute for a shorter period of time. |
Acute Hearing |
His powers over the sounds have made his ears adapting to such as well. Able to hear almost any sounds there is, even underwater sounds. With this it does mean that his ears are sensitive. If not given time to adjust, such as from water to air sounds, then he can get tinitus or headaches. His hearing, however, is not able to hear things that is too far away. Still human ears, if on the rare upper part, they can not sense sounds several cities over. Him making a glass shattering sound would have him still hearing it if not injuring himself, as is adapting to a loud sonic boom from him. |
Super Lungs |
The power needed to create some sounds do have some effect on the other organs in his body, mainly his lungs. Making them able to use a lot of air and even causing him to hold his breath for inhuman amount of time, or even breathe normally from the air on high mountain tops. While such things is fine for his longs his body still reacts to the cold of the air. He is still susceptible to pollution and similar, such as smoke. |
Sound Boom |
Other than his power to reach any pitch he also can cause loud booms of sound. Those very close automatically taken damage, if they don't have something against his sound that is. He can create a sound loud enough to reach huge areas, but the larger it is the more rest he needs after. For an entire city he would most likely be mute for over month. The louder it is the stronger the damage to those nearby. Making it a two edged sword at times. He can direct it a bit using items or his hands. Though some damage might still come to people nearby if it is too loud. The estimated range without too much damage would be around 100 meters (ca 110 yards). Might have to rest briefly after it though, and headache gets stronger. |
Traceur |
His living conditions as a youth, and the enviroment, made him use the area to his advantage. Learning how to quickly get from one place to the other, through parkour, or free running. Either way he is able to use his enviroment to his advantage. Be it fleeing or fighting or anything in between. |
Directed Whisper |
He has the ability to also use his voice and the frequencies, along with directing his soundwave, to be able to make it so only a specific person can hear it over a longer distance. It's still limited to him knowing where his target is. Be it seeing, hearing, being told, oveer phone, et cetera. The range of it being 30 yards from where the sound of his voice comes from (be it from his lips or through speakers on a phone). |
Sonar |
Has the ability to use sonar from his mouth to give him directional help, knowing his surrounding. Working both in and out of water. Only works within the range of his normal hearing. |
Weaponized Voice |
He can use his voice to target people to cause harm or even create positive effects. Such as give pleasant sounds to get people calm or into better mood, to try and avoid anger. Or even create annoying sounds that can drive people angry or become nauseous. |
Linguistic Genius |
Has studied a lot of languages, and also with his special abilities he has an easy time learning to talk new languages, although this does not help him in reading or writing in a specific language. Just allows him to speak and understand most languages around, and learn those he does not know quicker than seems humanly possible. |
Echo |
Able to use echoes to have people confused as to where the sound comes from. Since he can also use any kind of sound or voice he wish it makes him able to use echoing to do most sounds from any area. Does not quite work in completely open areas, as it needs something to bounce on. In open fields he can try and create artificial echoes, making his vocal cords create an echo, though this causes his headache to increase a lot. |
Comedian |
Being a professional comedian he does know how to entertain a crowd. Having several tricks of the trade. Always being the jester and keeping people laughing. Actually knowing what he's doing when telling jokes or the similar. His subtle powers perhaps being of service to some of his material (impression, calming a crowd). |
Social Media Skills |
Being famous he has done all that comes with it, even the somewhat expected things as a Youtube account, tweeting and a lot similar things. Knowing a lot of things that have to do with social media and keen on how to represent himself, if most of the things are joke filled, comedian style. |
Rising Star |
While he still isn't a huge comedian he is growing and started earning enough to have it as his full time job. Doing radio shows, tv shows, live shows and even starting to appear on the occasional talk show. |
Unknown Hero |
Not having a secret identity has him remaining unknown. Not really calling himself a hero, though he will help out if needed for small time things. Such as someone getting robbed. He has a codename, though it is not used an just lies resting. Not even a real codename, it's just something he's been thinking on. So him being unknown makes it easier for him to go unnoticed as a superhuman. |
Contacts |
Being an entertainer, comic and impressionist he has made several contacts among his professional peers. From talk show hosts to actors and stand-up comedians.
He's come to know a lot of barkeeps and club managers all over the different cities, from doing shows. Most of them liking him as he does try to act respectful and help out, though of course there might be one or two bad eggs. Especially in his home city of Gotham, even if he no longer resides there.
Knows a lot of people in his home, Gotham. Both good and bad. And especially those that run bars and clubs, places where he used to perform, along with the street folks, such as gang memebers and similar. |
Influencial |
Being a rising star, and thus starting to become somewhat of a famous person and role model he is slowly getting more influence, having people actually listening to what he has to say. Though clearly he's still on the rise andd not large enough to overthrow any famous person's words. |
Ghetto Boy |
Raised in a bad neighborhood. As such knowing the hardship and forming who he is. Doing what he can to make such places better, through charity and similar. Though also means he has run with bad men in his past and the past can catch up to a man, especially on the climb to stardom. |
Crime Record |
Has a record of different minor crimes. Shoplifting and similar, and drug possession. The worse being in his late teens dealing with drug dealing and burglary. Having spent time in prison after his release both sides have kept an eye on him. |
Spotlight |
Being a rising star means he has a hard time going unnoticed in public, if not quite yet a national star he is at least a local one. |
Secret Powers |
While he does not have a secret identity at the current time he does hide his powers. He uses his mimicry skills for his line of work but he does not use his superpowered skills. Such as unhuman frequencies or sonic screams. |
Headache |
Has almost constantly a light headache. Usually able to be mended by asparins. Though overdoing his powers or just stress and all can cause his headache to turn into migraine. |
Susceptibility |
While he does have some superpowers he still cuts and bleeds like any other human. Making him as easy to kill as any other human. |
Quick Lipped |
His mouth often goes faster than his mind can keep up so often end up saying things he shouldn't, causing him to get into trouble ever so often. |
