PB: Aidan Turner
Team: Bravo
Role: Surveillance #2
Codename: Bat though I was also considering Ears because then Bravo’s surveillance would be Eyes and Ears and I can’t be the only one who laughed? Okay, I'm convinced, his code name is Ears!

Powers:
ENHANCED HEARING (primary) Sorry, was that phone call supposed to be private? Charlie heard every word from both you and the person on the other line… from two blocks and six floors away. His hearing works best when he can use it within a half-mile (or closer) radius to his target. Buildings, being on separate floors, crowds, and other environmental noise make it challenging, but so long as he’s heard a voice clearly at least once, he can pick it out. It’s nearly impossible to sneak up on him — he can hear the softest footsteps, the quietest breaths, and if he really focuses he can sometimes even hear heartbeats.
SOUND MIMICRY (secondary) To a limited extent, he is able to replicate sounds that he’s previously heard. Some sounds, like the ringing of a telephone or a police siren, are easier to replicate and thus are part of his permanent mimicry repertoire, whereas voices are much more difficult. To properly replicate a voice, he must have heard it in the last 12 hours for peak effectiveness, though he’s made it work with samples as old as 48 hours.
INAUDIBILITY (secondary) This is a power that Charlie can only use on other supers, and when he’s using it he can’t use either of his other abilities due to the staggering amount of focus and energy this one takes. When he does use this power, he can render either one other super entirely inaudible or up to three others 50% more silent than they would normally be. Limited to one hour of continuous use when cloaking one person, or 15-20 minutes when cloaking three people.

Brief History:
So Charlie’s been part of the program for five years or thereabouts, after his (ex-)fiancee turned him in. Bit of a charmer when he feels like it, but more often than not he’s equal parts grumpy, reserved, and generally quiet. And definitely not the most gullible ever when it comes to some puppy-dog eyes, shh. On days when his hearing is too sensitive post-mission or he just doesn’t feel like dealing with it, he can be found wearing modified noise-cancelling headphones to lower his auditory perception to something closer to “normal.”

Ears would be totally cute but the Eyes player went quiet :(

I still don't have any Bravos yet, but I have a Foxtrot who'd sleep on the same floor as him, named [info]thereaper. Helena would be nice to him. And of course, just because someone's not on the same team doesn't mean they couldn't interact, which brings me to...

Blitz [info]smoothasglass was also turned in by an ex-lover and I think they could have bonded over that. He likes making friends, anyway, and will have spent a little too much time trying to see if he could sneak up on Charlie using his speed or something. (And probably failing.)

Livewire here is probably going to annoy the piss out of Charlie. She's very likely to hit on him, but more importantly, she's very much not quiet. Sorry about your sensitive hearing, Bat. She'll also try to convince him to use his sound mimicry for pranking purposes, like some kind of party trick. At least he can hear her coming to avoid her?

Charlie would definitely be nice to Helena, because it can't hurt to be on the good side of the lady who can raise the dead. And my next one will probably be a Foxtrot, so stay tuned for more possibilities!

He doesn't like talking about his ex at all, but I think it would have been a good bonding point for he and Blitz for sure. And hey, trying to sneak up on him using speed is totally a training exercise and not just for the hell of it -- they're developing Bat's reflexes and Blitz's stealth. Or... something?

Oh yeah, Livewire will probably not be anywhere on his list of favorite people. He would never be outright rude or anything, but when avoidance doesn't work he'll probably just clam up around her or suddenly have something terribly important to go do. Maaaaybe he's mimicked her voice just to see if that would get her to stop asking about it, though it probably backfired miserably on him.

The lady who also has a serial killer dedicated to her. XD Ooh what ideas do you have for this future Foxtrot so far?

Blitz likes to blame his commitment issues on his ex (he's pretty much has an old timey vampire's reaction to garlic and crosses when the subject of a relationship comes up; no really, bring it up in conversation and you'll suddenly see an empty spot where he used to be) but he'd totally want to have a beer with Charlie and commiserate. Or at least, that could have happened at any point in Charlie's five year career at GC. LOL totally a training exercise~

She'll probably have various reactions to that on different days. Like one day she'll just shrug it off when he avoids her, the next she'll get pissy about it, maybe the next she'll pout. Don't mind her; she has a sometimes dizzying amount of mood changes~

I'm thinking she'll have plant manipulation of some kind, sort of like Poison Ivy. (I may have been replaying all the Arkham games and got my inspiration there...) Very into her powers, thinks plants are better than people, willing to go on any mission if it gets her out into the sunlight, etc.

Yesss, I'm so down for beer and commiseration and mutual agreement that relationships are for suckers. Maybe they had their initial drink early after Charlie started with GC and now it's a semi-regular thing? I think Charlie's going to try setting up poker nights or something if he can, which Blitz would be welcome to join too.

lol mood swings he can deal with! Might not understand them, but he suspects trying to do that would be a losing battle.

Ooh that would be very cool! Livewire's a little like Harley if you'd be interested in a cliche-yet-not-actually-a-cliche type of friendship there. But if not, plaaants...:D Totally not thinking that your girl should have a training match with Reaper so it can be Plants vs. Zombies. Nosiree.

Awesome! Gotta love bromances. :3 Blitz would love for that to be a regular thing, whenever either/both of them can get hold of some decent alcohol. Don't expect him to be the most upstanding poker player at all times, but he'd love that, too, and would try not to cheat. Too much. :D

Lol consider me convinced! I was afraid it would be too cheesy but if people like it I'm so down for giving Charlie a code name he absolutely despises.

If it helps, his supers call him Chuckles ironically and he haaaates it.

Charlie will make it a point to call Dean by his proper name whenever he sees him, because he feels that pain bro.

Eyes & Ears !!! ugh I love it

Eloise here is one of the Bravo handlers and although he's not one of her charges, she keeps an eye on all of the ducklings on her team.

Super important question: how does he feel about karaoke?

Yessss my ridiculous idea is a success, my work here is done.

Charlie has a healthy respect for the handlers and authority figures after five years in GC, so he'll at least attempt to be on good behavior whenever Eloise is around! Whether he succeeds is another story entirely.

Karaoke! Haha, I never thought of that. When he's drunk he probably kicks ass at it, because he's less afraid to use his mimicry.

Eloise is kind of mom-friend cinnamon roll so long as his behavior doesn't compromise any operations or prove himself a security threat. As long as he follows orders and executes his assignments effectively, he can be grumps when he likes and she'll still be sunshine.

Bravo team karaoke night is officially GO then. Eloise can pull the lyrics to Pretty Young Thing in a heartbeat

Team karaoke night yessss now the question is: how soon does that devolve into "Bravo team does Wheel of Impressions"?

I've been away so I didn't see this but YES! Eyes and Ears! I think Trixie will be very fond of him.

I think between their two sets of powers, they'll make one hell of a surveillance team! And Trixie is probably one of the people on Bravo he's most comfortable around, so the fondness is very much a mutual thing.

Who is Infiltration #1 on Bravo. He has only been out of the Graveyard for a month or two, so he's a relatively new teammate with a pretty bloody reputation: he was brought in after killing one of the Ghost Corps' handlers, which made him the talk of the base for a little while when he first transferred from prison to the Graveyard. Despite the way he came into the program, Who acts as friendly and charming as anyone could want another person to be... But it is 100% surface. Maybe we can say Ears and Who are in the process of building a friendship that is more one-sided than Ears currently realizes? I'd love to explore something where Ears' hearing ability eventually helps him understand the truth about Who; at least in the sense that he's not as friendly as he pretends, and in fact likes killing people...

I love that idea! I'd been considering that something he's trying to work on with regards to his powers is fine-tuning his hearing to the point where he can hear if someone is lying. Changes in voice, heart rate, etc. Maybe over the time that develops, he starts realizing Who isn't quite what he says he is? I'm down for exploring things and seeing how they go, definitely!

Who is an accomplished liar who can pass lying detector tests with little prep time beforehand, but as Ears gets to know Who and his "noises" he could detect the subtle changes Who doesn't know he makes and figure it out that way!

Working on [info]convinco as Infiltration #2 on the Bravo team.

Also got this gal as one of the Echo team Damages and [info]meridian as the Alpha Surveillance.
