A question for you.
If a Hollywood movie was made featuring your character as the lead, what would the story be? Who else would star in it? And how successful do you think it'd be?
๐ค
"Hey, I like the chemistry we have for these characters. You feel like exploring that?"
(Assuming Yes)
"Cool! Lets see where it goes."

Aight, just gotta get some stuff done on my end, then I'll dive into the back end of all this. Properly flipping my account details (so long, Adam Jaw PFP!) and finalizing layout details.
...It's been so long since I felt comfy making a proper OC. But I do. God that feels nice.

Other techniques, such as amassing energy into that of a self-powered sun, adjusting the weight of gravity akin to his father, or other, more extreme techniques, require ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐ก more time and forethought. These could be calculated mid-battle, but time waits for no one.
A small set of 'standardized' techniques have by this point, become second nature to Abel. The aforementioned flight (albeit in cardinal directions,) a 1-2 punch geyser of flame, and a more streamlined sustained burst using two projection orbs spiralling in sequence. Only these are freely available.
These orbs themselves ๐๐๐ง be damaged, and without at least 4, (3 to manipulate, one to project) the process becomes dangerous and liable to self-destruct. Abel cannot fabricate these on the spot, requiring time and resources.
Even still, these orbs fire nuclear flame. They are not ๐ฐ๐๐๐ค.
In turn, while three orbs are directly manipulated, up to three others can receive the 'commands' being applied. Thus, placing orbs beneath his feet, Abel can create a nuclear-fire fuelled jetstream to fly, or aim the force in front of him as bursts of flame and energy, among other uses.
In this capacity, the individual orbs (of which he requires two hands to conceptualize the movements) can each link to different pieces of the atoms, stretching, compressing, or pulling apart the very air within his space, or any other material directly in contact with the orbs.
This is not easy.
Taking from his father the technology used to manipulate his personal gravity, Abel has conceived of a way to harness stronger forces. Pulling on individual pieces of the atom, he directly pulls upon the "Strong Nuclear Force" of particle physics, through the use of his orb-shaped generators.

After all that I ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ hope this turns out good as I hope...
...tbh I'm probably going to break it up into two sections. One the tl;dr of what his abilities ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ, then two, the deepdive on how it's all supposed to work for someone wanting to find out how to fight him.
๐ค
Somehow both you and her missed I meant trying to balance ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฆ rather than just taking one and run with it
Yes, I'm totally in agreement powers being relevant to the characterization is crucial. I'm just out here stressing over threading that needle with "powerful but not cringe."
๐ค
Oh trust me full respect to people who actually find decent ways to ๐๐ฆ๐ค๐ฅ๐๐๐ช this stuff.
My personal favourite was Sun Wukong of RWBY. I used his clone technique and aura generation to form an infinite feedback loop, gradually becoming on par with his mythical counterpart. Twas a fun run.
๐ค
I played Adam Fuckin' Smasher and I would frequently downgrade his ass just because I didn't want to clash with people who saw his joke of a 2077 boss fight and thought he was just mid, canon powerscaling be damned.
But I digress. Abel will, I hope, feel oki on his spiritual dad's level.
๐ค
(And yes this is totally on just me, not calling anyone out. Honestly, I look at other people's OCs and barring actual reality warping godtiers, I'll just nod and say "yeah that's sick af" and roll with it.
And then I'll be afraid to give my lil guy anything stronger than a water balloon.)
๐ค
Ah, the eternal crisis of the writer making an OC...
"How tf do I powerscale my character to simultaneously
A) not be a complete joke to everyone else who would beef with them
B) not be a cringe-factory Isekai Protagonist (My Cheat Skill is Secretly OP?!โญ!?)
C) be relevant to their character.

If I am unavailable to respond for an extended period of time, I will make such known. Otherwise, you can expect a reply consistently so long as I am otherwise active. Please respect I do have life to live offline, but otherwise, take all the time you wish.

I have no qualms with anyone in my DMs. Just please keep your manners about you, separate OOC from IC and make clear your intentions.
TL, I am going to just say interact with my stuff at your leisure. I will do my best to respond in kind. My serious work is usually DM, but eh. We'll see.

I am going to be trying to source all of my art going forward. Even edited. Admittedly I used to not do this, but in the era of AI art it's more crucial than ever.
I *swear* to never use AI art intentionally, and if I find it unintentionally I will blast it from orbit.
AI will be ignored.
