Writing to occupy my time. Plus I like where this might go.
Since I've been thinking about them in action over the last couple of days, I thought I'd post some of the more interesting details on my character here, namely his equipment.
When I gave previous details on him, I hadn't thought about it much, but my character, despite having laser light as an element actually has no real powers of his own. The transient wings that appear at heightened emotional states are just for show, and part of genetics. Instead, when performing or fighting, he uses a complex series of floating robotic prisms and lenses that can project a sort of cohesive plasma between them to form a straight beam of energy. Using a thought and motion activated control system, he can project up to 8 of these beams in virtually any direction he chooses, and when they are lined up the right way, he can use these devices to create some very interesting effects through diffusion, reflection, refraction, etc. Think of all the ways one can project energy beams in this manner simultaneously, and it makes for some amazing visual imagery.
The armor he wears is also unique, though it is not the one pictured in mikewolfkin's model. It consists of an interlocking series of angular plates of bright colors that can reflect any known form of light. This helps him not to be damaged by his own beams, and makes things a bit more interesting when used in concert with the prism system. The coloration presents a much more visible target, but this is all part of the act, so to speak.
As a last resort, he also carries a cohesive plasma blade with him, though he is not particularly skilled at swordplay. He would much rather use the prism system, and it shows. However, when the two are used in conjunction, they become that much more effective.
I rather enjoyed picturing all of this while describing it. Hope it's as fun for your imagination as it is for mine!
NOTE: Journal is subject to change while I think about this some more.
