Powers and Abilities

Matthew has the rare ability to call forth and control the most basic form of all energies in the cosmos; Auraic Energy. While others have the ability to use auraic energy, Matthew is a focal point and can use it more, and in more ways, as well as generate the energy himself, which is unique to him alone. The use of auraic energy allows Matthew to become stronger; physically and mentally. Physically, his strength, speed, and durability is multiplied depending on the amount of auraic energy is used. Mentally, his reflexes, thought, and foresight is increased depending on the amount of auraic energy that is used. An untrained body and mind that takes in too much auraic energy at once is subject to damage, and eventually death if prolonged. Matthew is constantly trained in the art of Peace Through Mediation, allowing him to expand his mind, which will enable him to summon more auraic energy, as well as keep his movements clean and fluid. At the same time, his body is trained in the Martial Arts to increase his physical resistance to the energy. All living beings have an auraic radiation, which allows Matthew to tell unique facts about them, including their moods, status of their health, and many other qualities depending on how deeply he looks at their aura.

Matthew can condense auraic energy enough to give it a physical form and have it affect his surroundings. This is evident in three common forms; Destructive force such as a beam, healing, or solid such as a barrier. Being able to create a physical manifistation of the auric energy which is needed to do variations of these three forms is very stressful on the host, and increases the risk that comes with using auraic energy. The easiest of these to produce is the barrier.

Because auraic energy flows through every living being in the universe, Matthew can tap into it, gaining a connection with a being beyond normal reasoning; He can not read their mind, but becomes very acute of their real emotions, which makes it seem like he can.

Due to his constant exposure to auraic, his body's natural abilities increase. As a result, Matthew's hearing and eyesight are beyond that of a normal human. This sudden increase in sight and sound caused him to become sensitive to them and causes him to become sick for periods of time. After training with the Old Man on this, he can now tune his ears how he wants- either to being able to hear everything around him, to not being able to hear at all. He can also isolate certain sounds, blocking out he rest. Due to his increased eyesight, Matthew is still light-sensitive at times, and often subject to migraines. As auraic energy has a naturally regenerative quality to it, Matthew's healing factor is beyond that of most humans, allowing him to recover from injuries faster.

Powers

• Auraic Strength: Aura can increase his strength. The level varies on the amount of auraic energy used.

• Auraic Mentality: Aura can increase his thinking capacity by concentrated and infusing himself with auraic energy.

• Foresight: Aura is sometimes granted visions of the future. While concentrating, he can use this to his advantage in a fight.

• Barrier: By pulling auraic energy towards him, but not absorbing them into his body, Aura can make an almost solid barrier around himself that is able to absorb force. 

• Energy Blast: The blast of auraic energy is more solid than explosive. Against living objects, it is merely a force, while against inorganic objects it pushes apart their structure, destroying them.  

• Healing: By pulling forth auraic energy and forcing it into another living being, the regenerative qualities of the energy increases their healing factors and is known to close large wounds.

• Auraic Empathy: By reading the auraic radiation off of beings, he can tell their true emotions or condition.

• Increased Healing Factor: Due to the auraic exposure, Aura's natural healing is increased beyond that of a normal human.

Paraphernalia

Equipment

• Aura Gauntlets: The gauntlets that Aura wears on his forearms and hands are composed of a soft rubber, which allows softer impact to humans. The cloth above the rubber is made from a Synth-kenetic Interfacing Nanofluid that reacts to Aura's auraic resonation, able to either stay soft or become as hard as metal. Because of the material they are composed of, they do not conduct electricity or heat, but do conduct his auraic energies.

• Aura Belt: Aura's belt holds slots for his staff on the sides. The center of the belt acts as a coded and encrypted wi-fi connection, allowing him to access the internet on his PDA, as well as acting as a location, and communication device- which is connected to his ear-piece, allowing him to speak with Cloud or any members of The Guardians that know the secret frequency.

• Aura Boots: Aura's boots are made from the same rubber and Synth-kenetic Interfacing Nanofluid as his gloves. The soles of his boots are able to form into spikes, which allow for greater traction that can allow him to run along walls with great ease, although they(the wall) takes small amounts of damage due to being pierced. The inside of the boots are layered with a gel-padding, keeping Aura's feet comfortable as well as suctioning his feet to keep them from being removed without his will.  

Weapons

• Aura Staff: Aura's staff is comprised of two baton-like ends that connect at the base forming a full bo staff. Each side is extendable, locking down into itself, and is only able to be opened by an auric based command from its owner, Aura. The center of the staffs are coated with a soft, yet durable taper that allows comfortable holding for Aura- in costume and out. The staff itself is made from Dargonite; a very rare metal. Dargonite is a non-conductible metal, holding neither heat or electricity, and its origin of forging is considered to be reality bending, although the metal has an affinity for absorbing magic. The metal is symbiotic, taking and giving to the owner's power. 

• Smoke Pellets: Aura carries on his belt a small amount of tiny pellets, that when they are tosses down with extreme force will explode in a large colorless cloud of smoke. This smoke has a foul smell and is very thick, making following or locating Aura in it very difficult because it waters the eyes of people who are in it- especially those with an acute sense of smell. Aura also carries one with filled with a chloroform compound gas which causes anyone who inhales it to fall unconscious. Aura can avoid this because of his mask.

Transportation

• Aura-cycle: The Aura-cycle is a custom made sports bike, produced by S.A.M.S.; modified and maintained by Cloud. The bike has thick armor, allowing for falls and crashes without breaking. The tires are made from a special Kevlar, foam filled spoke blend which allows it to never become flat and is very durable- rarely needing to be changed for traction. It has a small missile launcher on the side for destroying barricades that might obscure its path, as well as smoke screen deployment on the back. In case of emergency stopping from high speeds, a small parachute can be deployed from the back in a similar fashion to a drogue parachute. The motorcycle itself does not run on gas, but it powers by a special battery which can be charged by auraic energy or electricity- having a life up to seventy-two hours without any charge and being mobile(Aura can charge the bike as he rides). The compartments on the sides, and back, open for storage.
