Trevor Arnell

Information Played by: User:Cyclops Height: 5'11" Weight: 170 lbs Race: Human Age: 34 Date of Birth: October 2nd, 1982 Place of Birth: Redding, California Eye Color: Light Brown Hair Color: Dark Brown Organization: Out of Aces Detective Agency Occupation: Private Investigator Rank / Skill Level: Experienced Category: 3 Status: Approved Setting: Angelic Sins

He cuts a striking figure: a brilliantly white zoot suit, black tie, and a black fedora with a white band. A knee-length white trench coat drapes over his attire, and he carries a cream-white messenger bag – found in a strange hellscape and mysteriously larger on the inside. The bag holds whatever he anticipates needing on his journey.

Trevor wasn't always this enigmatic. Once, he was happy and well-adjusted, until his unusual abilities surfaced. It took a decade of turmoil – spanning his teens and early 20s – to master these powers without causing harm. This experience instilled a deep appreciation for hard work, boundless patience, and a zen outlook. Yet, guilt lingers from leaving a loved one behind in a desperate place. Intellectually, he knows she had to save herself, but the pain persists. This drives him to seek others who have lost hope, longing to save someone like her someday.

His darkness hinders friendships, though he's recently begun to emerge from his shell. When it matters, he hides his pain to be a beacon for others; this isolates him, yet also draws in those who mirror his struggle or crave someone with his strength. He willingly shoulders this burden.

Dueling Cane

The cane appeared deceptively ordinary at first glance. Its shaft was fashioned from a dark, polished wood that bore subtle scorch marks. The handle was a simple crook design in sleek metal, surprisingly cool to the touch. A closer inspection would reveal a nearly invisible latch near the handle, betraying the presence of a hidden blade – a slender dueling sword tempered with a fiery spirit.

Special Abilities

Fiery Conduit

The cane became a channel for Trevor's own abilities, fueled by his connection to Kisa's fiery spirit. By focusing his will, he could project concentrated bursts of flame through the shaft of the cane. This flame could even extend through a hidden blade cleverly integrated within the cane, transforming it into a searing weapon. Additionally, the scabbard portion of the cane, when activated, ignited in a controlled blaze, providing a wall of fire for defense. This fiery sheath also offered surprising resistance to both extreme heat and cold, protecting Trevor from both fire and ice.

Messages of Love and Warning

In his dreams, or moments of quiet contemplation, Kisa's presence was strongest. The cane, acting as a conduit, might etch her elegant script in glowing embers across nearby surfaces. These messages could be simple reminders of her love, urgent warnings, or cryptic clues related to Trevor's journey.

Embers of Hope

When Trevor's own spirits wavered, the cane emanated a soothing warmth. It was the tangible reminder of Kisa's enduring love, and the warmth and joy she had brought into his life. Additionally, small sparks or embers of light sometimes danced around the cane and Trevor, shielding him from the encroaching darkness, both literal and emotional.

Echo of Sacrifice

As a last resort, a desperate gamble, Trevor could channel his own emotions and Kisa's lingering energy through the cane. Slamming it against the ground unleashed a concussive burst of fiery power. This was always a risky move; it was physically draining and temporarily silenced Kisa's presence within the cane, requiring time for her to recover her strength.

Alternate Form (Wavelength)

When Trevor builds his power enough he can transform his abilities and become Wavelength, his alter-ego. There are only a few physical changes which take place in this form, most of the changes are to his abilities and his attitudes. It is also important to note that this form is temporary, it cannot be maintained indefinitely and how long it can be maintained is directly related to the situation. He is able to maintain this form through force of will so long as it is needed in the immediacy. Once a particular crisis is over which precipitates his need of this form, he will transform back. Since this form is based on need of the situation, he cannot take this form without a proper need, he must feel he has no other option but to do so or he cannot build the force of will required to transform.

Initial Discovery

This form was only initially discovered during a time when Trevor and a woman, Kisa, were trapped in some kind of parallel dimension without hope. It was a dangerous and savage place to be, but taking the role of protector with Kisa gave him something to focus on. To return to the normal world, they had to discover hope and fight to leave in a place that seemed designed to destroy all hope. He lead Kisa with him through the streets and over time they fell deeply in love but he slowly became aware that soon she would give up.

So he lead her through the streets of this horrible place looking for a way out until he willfully chose that there would be one, truly. Once he believed there was an exit in his heart and had regained hope for the future he found the place yielded and showed him the way out. It did not, however, yield for Kisa who remained hopeless and depressed. His first time transforming into Wavelength was upon their attempt to exit. The place fought him, until finally in the vortex that formed to leave it would not let him bring her and indeed she could not even see the vortex. He became so angry and vengeful on the evils of the place that he transformed and was able to pull her through causing the very barriers of reality to scream at her escape.

In the end, the transition killed Kisa and he only had her dead and broken body in his arms when he arrived back in the real world. The crisis over he no longer had the strength to keep up the form and it left him holding her broken body in his arms and crying into it unwilling to let it go for hours upon hours. He wandered the streets of the city with her body held close to him, wrapped in his trench coat. While he will never lose hope again, he misses her dearly and always will. He credits her with his escape and feels that she sacrificed herself for him, while it didn't actually go down that way (and he knows it), it doesn't change how he feels.

When invoking this form, he says a prayer to her, asking her for strength. When the form leaves him, he always thanks her. He knows the form comes from within him, but he doesn't feel right using it without the person that, to him, granted him hope again when all was lost.

Personality Shift

In this form his personality as a defender of the weak intensifies, his moral code strengthens to almost an absurd degree and he see's himself as judge and jury. He takes on a harder edge fully believing himself to be the arbiter of right and wrong, even if it requires savagery. In this, he also takes on a general appreciation for the dramatic and an insistence of self-reliance, where as normally, as Trevor, he would welcome help and support from others - this form comes with his denial of such alliances unless they are tried and tested and he knows he can rely on them.

Physical Appearance

The only way to tell that he is in this form is that his eyes become electrified, his hands take on a burning glow to them, and over the rest of his skin other energy dances just on the surface though it has no specific description, it takes the form of whatever energy he is expelling most in that region of the body.

Abilities

When in this form his abilities are amplified, his control over energy being expelled is increased by multiple orders of magnitude as is his ability to manipulate the flow of time and his energy armor is likely amplified.

History

Trevor always tried to do good, yet misfortune plagued him – a curse, some would say. Even with careful planning, his endeavors rarely met success. Janice, a wise woman who became his mentor during his teenage years, taught him kindness, self-sacrifice, and how to control his unusual powers. Originally from France, she sought a fresh start in America after a painful divorce. Their bond was deep, and while a youthful romance blossomed, it became clear they were better suited as friends. Years later, Janice passed away of natural causes. Despite the expected grief, she left him with invaluable gifts: profound lessons, and unwavering belief in his worth.

Yet, helping others could only sustain him for so long. Loss after loss gnawed at his spirit. After a prolonged bender, meant to numb the pain, Trevor inexplicably found himself trapped in a nightmarish realm. He assumed it was hell and embraced his despair, fueled by endless alcohol. Time blurred until Kisa arrived, a newcomer to this wretched place.

Long dormant, Trevor's need to protect sparked to life. Was the alcohol fogging his memory of his own despair? Perhaps. Still, witnessing Kisa's fading hope reignited his own. They found a way out, and he vowed to bring her back to the real world with him. But at the threshold, a cruel twist of fate: while Trevor could pass, Kisa's lost hope bound her, tearing her apart.

Grief consumed him for years. Finally, he channeled his pain into purpose. Drawing on the skills honed over time, he founded a private investigator service specializing in finding missing persons.
