CRAU History: NA

OC World Description: NA

Abilities/Powers:
Information Exchange – Sigma has the ability to pull the information he wants most from someone else’s mind by touching them. The flip side to this is that the other person automatically receives what they want to know most that he knows. Sigma is unable to control this, and so is unable to ensure that sensitive information isn’t given to the other person, so it’s something of a risk for him to just use the ability without good reason.

This is not necessarily an equivalent exchange situation, as what one person wants to know most might not be as valuable as what the other person wants to know. Especially if they aren’t expecting him to use his ability or know that he has the ability in the first place and are unprepared for it. If lucky they'll get something stupid like if they wondered what his favourite food was, if he's unlucky it could involve more serious/sensitive information he'd rather keep to himself either because it's his secret or someone elses.

His ability also works on the dead, as long as they only died recently. Obviously, the other person being dead means he doesn’t have to worry about that person using information gained against him or someone else.

There is another drawback to his ability that could hit him or the other person. Sometimes, if the amount of information received is too large and heavy to have dropped in someone’s head all at once, the brain needs to shut down in order to process it. This causes the person to pass out for an undetermined amount of time.

(Note: I have an opt in/opt out for his ability on his permissions post, and I will never have him use this ability on another player’s character without discussing it beforehand)

Memorization – This is not a special ability, but Sigma is talented at memorizing information in short periods of time if he deems them important enough. During the eight days that he worked at the casino, he had committed about 20,000 patron profiles to memory to better serve them.

Inventory: Clothes on his back, he doesn't even have his gun OTL

What could your character stand to learn:
Sigma has spent the entirety of his three years of existing being used by everyone that he's ever met for his ability, and only ever rewarded with attempts on his life once they were done with him. Due to this, he's never known what it is to have a connection with someone that's not transactional and doesn't end with nearly dying. It means he has a hard time understanding people doing something for someone for no ulterior motives other than caring about and believing in that person. Watching the way members of the ADA put themselves on the line for each other and believe in one another is so hard for him to wrap his head around that it leaves him both puzzling and thinking about what it might be like for him to be one of them.

He also has had to feel very outside and 'othered' by the world around him, given he was created from nothing but words written in a book that belonged to another ability user. He has no idea who used the book to create him, or why they did. Because of the method used to create him, and the lack of a normal childhood or starting point that everyone else has in life, he has a hard time feeling like he belongs anywhere and his humanity has been questioned by others. It means Sigma longs for a place where he belongs, to not feel like he's an outsider.

Because of both of the above issues, not knowing what it's like to be with people who wouldn't use him and not having a place he belongs, his views of the world are a bit warped. He had gotten to the point where belonging seemed beyond him and all he wanted was a place to call home, where he couldn't be used by anyone again. The Casino was where he thought he'd have that, once he did the job for the DOA he could have a home among people who could not use him and where he could not be reached by the rest of the world.

The staff and patrons needed him, and he made himself well liked by becoming the best manager he could be. Memorizing about 20,000 profiles to cater to the whims and be able to react in a timely manner to the health issues and needs of everyone there. Because with his prior experiences in life, it seemed like the only way to not be used was to be the one in charge, the one who could make use of his employees and guests instead of the other around, and to make sure everyone under him was happy to ensure that...

But it doesn't last, and while Sigma has slowly begun to see where his views might be wrong and what life could really be like, he still has never experienced it. He needs a chance to learn to trust people and to form real bonds with others so he can find a place and to heal from his past traumas.

Special Item: The playing card he put a dent in from the casino
