Bob (MKRP)

From Egs Mayhem

Name:

Bob. Just Bob.

Age:

20

Sex:

Male

Species:

Human

Overview:

A man with a fairly bland and uninteresting past, although they know some people who can do interesting things.

Appearance:

Just part of the scenery, not worth notice. No, seriously.

Powers/Abilities:

Bob blends into the crowd benignly, even if it's a crowd of one. It's not that he's invisible, it's just that people's minds seem to constantly filter him out as part of the background - the human mind just assumes that he's supposed to be doing what he's doing and moves on to more interesting things. This power is disrupted by interacting with a person in a way that forces the person to realize that somebody is there - checking-out at a store wouldn't count, smalltalk may or may not, and being caught red-handed by the victim of an act of violence counts. In short, how likely he is to be seen is directly proportional to how obvious his actions are, how much they impact the viewer, and how important the actions are. The effect is also lost if somebody happens to look him in the eye, and does not affect recorded video (Live feeds, however, are).

The effect can be re-gained by staying out of sight for a few moments, but the more often a person breaks the effect, the easier it becomes for them to spot him.

To make things simple: You don't notice Bob unless he hits you while you're looking at him. Nor do you notice anything Bob does.
