Personality: Due to complications involving super-powers and death, serial-killer Marco Wehtsz and police sergeant James Levvy were both fused into one singular being.
Wehtsz was a savage of a man. He was abused for the majority of his childhood until he discovered his ability to invade an unsuspecting person’s consciousness, and used it to murder his parents and get away scott-free. As he grew older, he developed a sick pleasure for invading the privacy of one’s mind. He lacked coherent social skills, and had no care for human life or safety. He had a hunger to cause pain.
James Levvy was born to a lower-middle class family, and was the eldest of 2 children. His father was killed in a carjacking during a robbery when James was 14. James, who at the time had no idea what he was to do after high school, now had his mind made up, and when he turned 18 he joined the Police Force, and it was there he discovered his unique trait, which allowed him to spy out people with extra-ordinary abilities. He had a strong sense of justice, and a deep-seated hatred of criminals, especially meta-human criminals, for it would anger him to see what he thought of as a God-given gift meant to better humanity being used to spread pain and chaos. He had a hunger to bring criminals to justice. He was charismatic, a great talker, and very confident.
Marco Levvy was a deranged, yet focused individual. Now working as a private detective called “Greystone”, he specializes in the investigation and apprehension of super-powered criminals & super-power related incidents. He is sarcastic and comes off as an asshole, but 50 years’ worth of accumulated knowledge and the logic of two different people in his head proves him a very smart asshole. While doing his best to be an upholder of justice, the merging of good and bad caused him to become very neutral, and he is prone to hearing the undiluted voices of one or both of his former personalities, who usually try to coerce him into doing something their way. He doesn’t care as much if he’s catching a Hero or Villain as long as he gets to hurt them, enjoy himself, and get paid.

History: Marco Thomas Wehtsz was house-born in a lower class apartment in Oklahoma to a family that did not want him. His mother was impregnated because of a broken condom and dubbed him a “mistake”. His parents abused him regularly and it was not unusual for him to eat less than three times a week. This pattern continued until he was 16 years old. By now he had been kicked out of school and only had a 7th grade education. It was at this time that he discovered his unique ability to leave his own body and take over the minds of others. It was not long after he discovered this power that his father murdered his mother and took his own life in the most painful manner possible. Surprisingly, when investigators informed him of this, Marco was overjoyed. For the next two years he was shipped around to various foster families, and would only stay a few months at a time before he would be kicked out. When he turned 18 he went out on his own, now living in Chicago, and worked behind the counter at a diner, where he stayed for the rest of his existence. For the next decade, Marco would stalk the night, kidnapping people and either forcing them to kill each other or lobotomizing them to use as his puppets.
James Theodor Levvy was born to a middle class family in New York, New York. His father worked as a taxi driver and his mother was a receptionist at the local Police Station. His sister Lilly was born when James was 12 years old. James made lots of friends, had very good grades, and was captain of his high school wrestling team; he was obviously a very talented young man. But those weren’t all of his talents. That year, he discovered his ability to detect other people’s upper powers. It came naturally to him, when he saw the space around a person contort as if under a hot flame, he knew what it meant, especially when he looked down and saw the same thing happening around himself. Then tragedy struck. While his father was waiting at a gas station for a customer, a man held the place up and instructed him to leave his cab. But he tripped on his way out of the car, and the robber shot him out of instinct. When James heard what had happened to his father, he decided what he would do when he got out of school. He became a police officer, and was sometimes able to use his secret power to catch super-powered criminals.
Then the two of them met. James had been following the trail of bodies left behind by Marco after a woman escaped the madman and ran to a hospital with her forehead partially cut open. The trail led them back to an abandoned warehouse full of Marco’s lobotomized puppets, whom he was using to attack James and his fellow officers. When they finally found Marco, het attacked James with a blowtorch, badly burning the left half of his face. James’ partner mortally wounded Marco, but before he died, Marco transferred himself into the only target he could get, James. Marco’s power had only ever let him take over people who were asleep or otherwise comatose, and even then only for 5 minutes each, but because his body died, his tether to it was cut, and he was inside James head, permanently. And with James still being awake at the time, his mind immediately rejected the invader, and a long battle for control of James’ mind ensued.
In the end, both won, and their personalities were fused into one. James T Levvy and Marco T Wehtsz would only ever identify themselves as Marco T Levvy after that, and he quit the Police force to become a private investigator, specializing in the investigation and/or apprehension of people who have super powers. Aside from the memories of James’ Police training which he retained, Marco has spent years now mastering various forms of martial arts and keeping himself in peak physical condition. as a way to get himself out of sticky situations, he is dealing with super-humans after all. Also he has no recollection of what the "T" in his name stands for.

Powers: Greystone originally had the ability to take over the conscious of another person for 5 minutes at a time. He lost this ability when his original body was killed, but he has retained his ability to detect any superpowered person around him. When a person with superpowers is in a thirty-foot radius of him, he will get a slight shiver, and his hair will stand on end. If they come within fifteen feet of him, he will see the air distort around the part of the body that they use the power with most often. For instance, if someone can shoot fire it will be the space around their hands that distorts. Powers that use no specific body part just distort the air around the person’s whole body.

Roleplay Sample: Against the crimson sunset, a dark cloaked figure stalked towards the convenience store. Pulling his pure-black facemask up before he entered, Marco immediately made his way towards the discount isle. He basically poured their entire stock of instant noodles off of the shelf and into his basket. He grabbed a carton of eggs, 24 apples, and a pack of cigarettes, not to smoke, but to offer other people to break the ice. He approached the counter, opened his coat, and pulled out his grimy wallet, full of money he had just taken from a guy who tried to mug him. It had been a first for him, getting mugged, but a simple choke was enough to put the man to sleep. The cashier eyed him as she scanned the bounty he had laid before her.

"Where do ya keep getting all o' this money from?" She demanded.

"Oh Nika, don't you know I have a job? It's a very important job, I save lives."

She scoffed, throwing the 7th instant noodle cup into a bag. "Yeah, and ya get paid about a buck-fifty for each case, yet here you are throwing out twenties, what are ya up to?"

Marco thought about previous cases he'd had. Abductions, disappearances, or simple burglaries, Marco always managed to nick a few wallets from the baddies before the Police got to them, so he was always well compensated, even if some of his customers were stingy bastards.

She named the price and he handed her a wad of bills. She popped open the register and handed him back several 1's. But when he extended his hand to take it, time seemed to stand still for a moment. It would be so easy, Marco thought to himself. Reach for it, reach for what we want, not the money, but her mind. What I would give to just...cut it open, to break through her defenses, and...destroy her. There aren't many here, wouldn't be able to stop us, we could...

But you know we won't have that, thought Levvy. We'll put you in the cage again, if you talk. Make you soft, you can't talk in the cage, can't...enjoy any more.

No...no...don't want to reach any farther. Just take the coin. Behave.

Then it started again. Marco caught the money in his palm. His hands were shaking. "Are ya alright? You look like ya seen a ghost."

Marco smiled up at her, rubbing his unshaven stubble. "No no, I'm fine. But..." He turned to leave, waving a had over his shoulder.

"Two...actually."

Your SPD, INT, and FS are well above average so you should make those points of explanation in your Powers Section of the application.

Whoops I misjudged those PL's. Changed 'em so's he's not OP.
