   Real Name: Joseph Jean-Baptiste Hair: Black Eyes: Brown Height: 6 foot 2 inches Age: 42 in 2012 Ethical alliance: Good Type of being: Human History: Joseph was born in a small town in South Africa during the apartheid years. From a young age he had to fight to survive and eventually turned to boxing. He was fourteen when he had his first paying fight against a nineteen year old. It had been a hard fight, but he had won. After that, he started fighting anyone for money. He was seventeen when apartheid was finally abolished. His manager got him his first real fight. He then met his wife and a few years later had two daughters. His boxing career took a backseat while he worked as a janitor in a school. At night, he would often fight, but he could no longer train as often and the offers he had dwindled as time went on. A week after his thirty-seventh birthday, his wife and children were killed when their bus was rammed by a truck and plunged off a bridge. He then succumbed to depression and started drinking. A year later, he got his act together and started training again. He realized that it was the best way for him to channel his anger. He had a few fights but he had passed his prime years. That was when Avatar Prime showed up and recruted him to be part of Gaia Force. Powers Telepithesy: From the Greek "tele" meaning far/end and "epithesi" meaning attack, this form of attack allows an individual to breach the gap between himself and his target by folding a layer of space between them. In Farpoint's case, his "Long Reach" allows him to interact with objects as far away as 5000 km. Although the range seems excessive, when you take into account that he can travel at point-five light speed, the range is quite limited. Because the folded layer of space actually belongs to another dimension, the exit point also partially remains there, which is why Farpoint sees a ghostly extention of his limbs. This dimensional layer is invisible in normal space and as of yet, only Farpoint has been able to see it. To attack, Farpoint only needs to shadow box or mimic a move for the effect to be felt. When he hits an object that is far away, the force of the attack is proportional to the speed, distance and time it would have taken to reach it, thus increasing the damage, and the impact will cover a greater surface area then had he punched it from up close. The attack is instantaneous as though you were standing right near him. When lifting things the same principle applies, the further things are, the more weight he can lift. Grabbing an object with this ability, makes the object appears in his hand, as if it were some form of teleportation. Super strength: 100+ tons of lift unaided but can boost his strength using his power to 300+ tons. Unlike the other members of Gaia Force whose stats are essentially fixed, Farpoint can increase his through training. Extended lifespan: Like all members of Gaia Force, he possesses long life. Self sustaining: Does not need to eat or drink. Space travel: He can fly and possesses inter-planetary travel capabilities. Omnilinguilism: Like all members of Gaia Force, he can communicate with any intelligent life form. Energy and physical resistance: Has a high resistance to physical and moderate resistance to energy attacks. Enhanced vision: Farpoint can use his glasses to see in every mode. Weaknesses: When distance fighting he is vulnerable up close. Limitations: His hit range is at 5000 km max. Although the range seems excessive, when you take into account that he can travel at point-five light speed, the range is quite limited. Paraphernalia: Wears dark glasses that allow him to detect various types of energy. It also makes him look cool. © 2013 Gaia Force by Lawrenz Lano |
