Seth Primus

Simply put, Seth was born to a Blight beast in the last stages of her transition from a homemaker and expecting mother to a ravenous beast. As she struggled to fight off the infection that twisted her body and mind, instruments and measures whipped around the room with her frustration and fear. The baby boy was delivered as she was able to see him and smile for a moment as the doctor showed him in what they all knew would be her last moments in life. The waiting guard raised his weapon to kill her, but she began to sing. As she hummed a mother’s tune, the guard’s weapon lowered. Everyone grew quiet to listen. No one noticed her restraints slip off. She’d ripped into the guard with her new claws before anyone could react. There was chaos, and Seth’s father grabbed the baby and fled as his former wife shrieked and attacked. It took only seconds before she was crawling on the walls after her son and husband. And more were coming.

They crashed through the windows and doors, chasing after the father and his son with a single-minded fury. No matter where they hid, they were instantly found. Just as Seth’s father lost hope, the Earth military arrived, and airlifted the pair out of the hospital, even as the creatures piled atop each other to allow Seth’s mother to climb and fly--literally fly--up to confront the chopper with her song. They managed to shoot her out of the sky and she fell, screaming to Earth. Seth’s father lied about his son’s origins, fearing the experiments he might be subjected to. And as he watched the monsters chase the chopper, he feared his son was more than just a crying infant.

When they got off-world, Seth’s father made up names for them as they were catalogued and placed into a registry. He was Roy Primus, and his son Seth Primus. Roy noticed that, the opposite to his mother, things tended to float when Seth was calm and focused. He kept to himself on the life ship and later the Martian colony, raising his son to understand and control his powers. Seth learned meditation starting when he was five years old, to control and use his powers and hide them when he wanted to. His other ability could not be controlled, as Seth was a magnet to the blight beasts, and could do nothing to turn their attention from him. Roy was a biological scientist, and sometimes brought his son to the remote facilities to see them, and test his ability. The second he entered the building they went wild, and did all they could to reach him until he left. He determined the range was about 1,000 feet. And it was on one of those days that Seth was outted.

Roy and Seth had to leave Mars, and spent weeks in the underground, searching for a way. It was there they discovered the Rogues, who agreed to help them get off-world in exchange for work. They agreed and, now fifteen, Seth entered combat training with the Rogues and began to hone his powers for use in combat. His father was assigned to R&D and Seth to the Powered SpecOps. Though his telekinetic abilities were well developed, it was his ability to attract Blight creatures that made him so valuable to the Rogues. They used him to raid stores and facilities on Earth and other planets overrun by Blight. They would drop him in an area under armed guard and use him to lead the creatures away, while another cell moved in to raid. He was valuable, but felt scarcely awarded for the dangerous work.

Through the years, Seth began to make friends and allies out of others who grew disenfranchised with the lawless Rogues. Some of them wanted to join the Federation, while others wanted to make it on their own. Perhaps find a planet to settle in peace. Either way, all of them wanted Roy and Seth in command. It was five long years before Roy and Seth made their move and turned on the Rogues and commandeered a few ships in the fleet. The resulting firefight almost ended everything but in the end they were able to make their escape, and set off on a journey of their choosing.

Primary: Telekinesis - Seth has the ability to move things with his mind. Though his ability is immature, it has the potential to be very powerful and versatile. Seth requires calm and focus to activate and control his powers, and so must maintain an inner peace in the heat of battle to be effective.

Level One: Can push things away from himself with a force of 700 newtons, pull things to himself at half that strength, raise a barrier that deflects projectiles with less than 600 newtons of force without breaking, or lift a 150lb or lighter person helplessly into the air or hold them in place.

Secondary: Blight Connection - Due to the circumstances of his birth, Seth has an innate connection to the Blight. He claims it has a will that tries to speak to him from time to time, and can sense when the radiation is close and where its creatures are located. As a consequence, the Blight creatures are single-mindedly attracted to Seth, and will do anything to get to him. What they will do when they have him is unknown. It is a terrifying power to onlookers and Seth himself, but invaluable in the current times.

Level One: Can sense when Blight radiation and creatures are just outside of sensor range. Can hear whispering when Blight radiation or creatures are within 2,000 feet. Creatures can sense his presence within 1,000 feet and will hunt for him unceasingly until they find him or he goes out of range.
