History
Written by: Joshua W. Murcray
Daglas Ambrose is one of two known meta-mutants who were born with their abilities already activated. In fact, as time went on, it has been shown that Daglas was born with an innate understanding of the full scope of his powers, and did not need to develop them, as they were at full strength from birth.
Born Daglas Anbros in 2018 in les îlets du Prince, Pòtoprens Awondisman, Lwès, Repiblik d Ayiti, Daglas is the son of a farmer and a nurse. Throughout his life, Daglas yearned to travel the stars that he stared up to each night, but his powers made him an outcast among children his own age, but a almost welcome addition when he visited his father in the field, or his mother in the hospital.
In 2038 when The Great Reset devastated the planet, the Repiblik d Ayiti experienced flooding, hurricanes, earthquakes, and a power outage that killed many who were on life-support or in the middle of surgery. The country immediately went into economic collapse and social unrest began the moment the aftershocks started to fade. However, it"s essential to note that the Repiblik d Ayiti has a resilient population and a strong cultural identity. In the face of adversity, Haitians have historically shown remarkable adaptability and resourcefulness.
This adaptibility rang true when Daglas was able to finally let loose with his Distortion Field. He was able to hold back flood waters from going inside the hospital his mother worked at. Bending time, he was able to also save his father and another farmhand from an overturned tractor, by lifting it above his head and then using it as a dam to stem the flow of sea water that would kill the crops.
As the Poles shifted and the weather system wreaked havoc on his country, Daglas used every ability he had to keep people moving and rebuilding. It was during this "Long Winter" that Daglas learned how to use his Gift of Languages to read body language, something new just when he thought he already had full understanding of his Gifts. He used this new understanding to be able to read people and head-off any anger or potential problems that cropped up, either on the street or in the planning councils.
Up until 2048, Daglas was instrumental in the sustaining of Haitian life and culture and the rebuilding of their country. Then, on his 30th birthday, Starshield Labs approached him about a project they were developing. If he was willing to undergo extensive testing and training, they wanted to send him into space as an explorer and diplomat on behalf of Eden.
Daglas jumped at the chance to travel into space and immediately agreed to their testing and training, which involved studying every known language on Eden. During this time he studied the occult, history, archaeology, as well as computer science, programming and physics.
While in the program, Daglas met Eve and the two became partners in every field of study.
The mission objectives for the two of them would be to travel to near-by planets and determine viability for colonization. Should they come into contact with alien life, if the culture was already exploring space, then First Contact would be made. If the alien life was not yet ready to explore the stars, or were considered too aggressive, then a message was sent to Eden and that planet, and system, would be placed off-limits to exploration or colonization.
Should a planet be found without sentient life, but could be terraformed for colonization, then together, Adam (his codename for the mission) and Eve would use their vast powers to create an atmosphere and planetary environment that would eventually support human life. Once that task was complete and beacons were set for colony ships to land safely, the pair of them would climb aboard The Planetary and head out in search of alien friends among the stars.

Omnilingual Translation:
Adam is a hyper-linguist, and has a meta-mutant facility for translating any languages, spoken or written, human or alien in origin. His skill also extends to his great facility in deciphering codes and computer languages as well as understanding hidden intentions and body language. Adam's skills are such that he was once able to make great headway in translating the written language of an extraterrestrial race in a matter of minutes. Adam's meta-mutant talent for translating differs from the translating ability that a human who is a genius in this field, yet not a meta-mutant, possesses, even though both people might achieve the same results with any given translation problem. Adam's meta-mutant talent is an intuitive one which works on a subconscious level, whereas others will have to work out a translation consciously, step by step. Rather than working the problem out step by step, in his conscious mind, Adam instead subconsciously solves the problem. Hence, Adam can reach the correct solution by means that appear to be leaps of logic, and he himself may not have been consciously aware of the entire process by which he reaches the right answer.
Selective Physics Distortion Field:
This field enabled Adam to bend the laws of physics within limits. Adam could use the field on himself, project it over a large area of unspecified dimensions, or concentrate it onto a smaller area or object, such as another person. This includes the following Gifts:
_____Chronokinesis
_____Deflection
_____Friction Manipulation
_____Gravity Manipulation
_____Strength: Industrial
Skill(s)
Primary Skill
Archeology
Intelligence: Gifted: Even without his powers, Adam possesses a gifted intellect. He is an expert in translating and designing computer software. He took university level courses in languages, computer science, the occult, as well as archaeology. Adam can hack some of the most protected computer systems.
Leadership
Marksmanship: Adam is an expert marksman and uses a pair of semi-automatic phase-pistols, kept under his coat in holsters on the back of his belt, on field missions.
Weaknesses
Internet Addiction: After trying to use his powers to decode the Internet, Adam became addicted to being online. He let himself go and almost starved himself because he couldn't stay away from the numerous devices he was using to surf the web. His long periods of staying out in space are to help him overcome this addiction.
Equipment
The Planetary: Adam and his exploration partner, Eve live on a futuristic long-range sentient starship designed for exploring future colony worlds with its two passengers that has cutting-edge technology, advanced AI, and sustainable life-support systems. Here's a detailed description of its specifications:
