Nuclear Energy

Nuclear Energy is the energy produced when splitting an atom. Due to this, the Nuclear Energy user can’t be without power. As long as there are atoms, which make up literally everything in the multiverse, (Save for Dymere beings and Melaney Weapons which are made of dyoms, see dyoms),the Nuclear Energy user has fuel for their abilities. However, not all Nuclear users are the same. There are five different types of this energy that allow the users to do different things.

1. Nuclear Manifestation : This allows the user to put their energy into a knife, sword, armor, etc. to varying degrees. Due to their energy that they are using, the weapons would be able to cut through atoms themselves. Thus these weapons are so powerful they can actually cut through any matter known to man (save for the dyoms spoken of earlier). The issue here is that the user can only do this for one weapon and the weapon is manifested, not created. Due to this the weapon will give off a low level radiation that will actually poison the user or those struck by it over time. These weapons are usually destroyed when the user dies for fear of having them kill without meaning to. Most of theses users will manifest only one weapon within their lives, but some have done multiple weapons, never exceeding 5. Armor created by these users is so durable that Melaney weapons have been slowed by their defense, but the wearer is constantly bombarded by radiation and usually will not live long. Those that have manifested armor usually live very short lives.

2. Blasts: This allows the user to split atoms from one of their hands, or both. The atoms, being split, cause a concussive blast that fires forward from the point of origin and deals damage to anyone before them. This is a very volatile way of using this energy and can not be targeted on anyone point. Due to this the Blast user will usually wear gauntlets that allow them to control the blast to an extent and force the explosions forward in a straight line rather than outward but it will cut much of the force down from the explosion’s origin. Thus the blasts will go from highest point (depends on the character) to a mid point (cut the blasts in ½ when wearing the gloves). These types often don’t work well in partnerships.

3. Ray: This allows the user to split atoms in s direct line from their point of origin. Many don’t have to use their hands to send the ray of destruction, but will simply to guide their shot. This takes a lot of focus. The damage sent down this line is limited to a small area within the blast but will leave scorch marks, fire, and even small traces of radiation when used. Thus if the users is trying to hide from others, this ability will point them out very quickly. This character can target every attack.

4. Atomic Bursts: This allows the user to wield their ability in short blasts that are very close to their bodies and that will deal damage in short stints but with devastating results. The users will usually expel the energy from their hands, feet, head, etc. when attacking and, if landing the attack, the resulting explosion will deal all of its damage directly to the item, thing, person that they have hit. This explosion will be compacted into a tight area so as not to deal damage to those around them. If the person is dealt damage directly, then radiation damage will follow. (See Radiation Damage.)

5. Nuclear Manipulation: This allows the user to manipulate small amounts of atom on an atomic scale. Thus the user can change small things of a great mass. The more focus they put in, the more things they can change. Case in point, if the users needs a light switch to be flipped but is across the room, they can alter the atoms within the switch to force it upward, or downward. The most powerful of these users once altered their own face on an atomic scale so that no one could tell it was them and it did not look as though they had altered anything because it all looked natural. Also, the same woman altered the documents of history to change her own name to a smudge so that none would know what her true name was. Lastly, she altered the atoms of a bridge to keep it strong enough to hold three hundred carriages after it had been all but destroyed. After this event, though, she went into a comma for nearly five years.

Be aware that all Nuclear Energy users will release some sort of radiation. This radiation will deal damage to themselves or those around them. Most of these abilities come from mutations, or the person is a God of some sort or higher. Thus the radiation doesn’t bother them directly, but those around them will feel the effects after being around for short amounts of time. Thus these users are very scarce in their use of the abilities and often will move away from everyone else before using their abilities.

Note: The Nuclear Energy user can manifest their abilities into a “Big Bomb” if they choose, but it is rare that this will work as they usually will pass out before being able to use the bomb directly. Thus the energy simply passes through them and goes back to wherever they first brought it in. When it does work, however, the bomb can be equivalent to 600 kilotons. This blast would take out a large city with ease and its surrounding areas.

Note2: The Nuclear Energy users that can not manipulate their own atoms will actually use up their own Metophic Energy with blasts that exceed a certain amount. The amount is not known and is different for everyone, thus each of them has to test and learn their limits. When exceeded, they will feel the effects due to damage that simply will not heal over a proper amount of time. Many of these users die young due to this dilemma.
