“ | Thought so. My dad got charged with life in prison himself. Bastard told me one day, I'd follow on his footsteps. Guess the joke was on me, huh? I always got into trouble, fighting people just as a way to vent off my frustrations. I wanted to join the UFC at some point. My powers made me forget the responsibility of being human, though. I guess you're right. If it's all over for me anyway, I better fight to get a position I'd at least find comfortable. | „ |
~ Clarity after battle |
“ | Gonna be honest, I neither know or care about whatever you were talking about. Ever since I was young, the only thing I was good at was cracking some heads open. Well, let’s crack some heads then. I’ll give you feds a reason or three to keep me around. | „ |
~ Right before his first Alpha Centuri deployment |
Summary[]
David Alphonse is a former student of Xander Phoenix and initially appeared as a member of the Homewreckers, serving alongside Aisha and Mirror Man to defend the Tif'eret Gash.
Known problem child who got into many fights. Dreamed of becoming an MMA fighter, and was well liked despite getting into trouble at school often. However, he became one of many cases of a demeanor shift after awakening as a Trigger, as he gained a bottomless thirst for battle that drove him into many fights against other Triggers. After his capture by the Wife Beaters, he regained a sense of his humanity and was enlisted into Alpha Centuri's ranks, turning against his former lifestyle and organization that facilitated it.

Name: David Alphonse
Origin: Valhalla: Hellcity
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Classification: Level 1 Trigger
Powers and Abilities:
Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Immortality (Types 1 and 3, Triggers are immortal[1] and can heal from any physical injury[2]), Regeneration (Low-Godly, any damage on the physical layer is regarded as "False Damage"[2] that is incapable of killing the trigger and regenerates at triple speed, while damage to every layer is still able to be healed provided the damage is not extensive, and they are not struck in their[3] spiritual core[4]), Self-Sustenance (Types 1, 2 and 3; Triggers have no requirements for food or physical obligation to sleep, only being affected psychologically by prolonged consciousness.[4] Can traverse into the depths of Red Gashes, where even air vanishes from existence[5]), Energy Manipulation (The defining trait of a Trigger is the ability to control Energy, an extraplanar force that clashes with the nature of reality on a fundamental level. This fuels their abilities at large, and can be fired as a blast directly[2]), Explosion Manipulation (Regularly caused by the use of energy, whether through Blasts, Energy enhanced attacks or certain Unique Powers[2]), Mind Manipulation and Soul Manipulation (Can attack on the mental and spiritual layers alongside the physical[2]), Fear Manipulation (Damage to the mental layer can influence the thoughts and feelings of onlookers, causing locations that have been severely damaged by triggers to cause an innate sense of dread and desire to abandon the area[6]), Memory Manipulation (Damage to an area on the mental layer may cause it to be outright removed from collective memory,[2] Silas's Miracle was capable of "unpersoning" King Gizzard by reducing him to atoms on every layer[4]), Life Manipulation (The spiritual layer dictates the properties of physical objects, including their life-force/spans[6]), Regeneration Negation (Up to Low-Godly; Damage to the spiritual layer interferes with the life force of objects, making it impossible for mundane means to repair damage dealt by a Trigger.[6] Even other Triggers have an increased difficulty healing attacks that harm their souls,[2] which David can then reinforce by locking a Trigger into a damaged state[4]), Invulnerability Negation (Despite a Fortified Trigger's ability to completely ignore False Damage,[2] a Trigger's normal attacks are capable of harming them, as displayed with Aisha,[3] and Frozen Mind's similar protection of the mind and soul also cannot prevent outright damage), Non-Physical Interaction (Capable of damaging spiritual and mental structures, and even interact with Gashes and creatures similar in nature,[7] which are a "total annihilation of anything and everything"[8]), Reactive Evolution (Triggers as a whole have the capacity to suddenly evolve in Level through overexposure to extreme levels of Energy, special energy sources or extreme distress.[2] More regularly, external factors allow them to break through their limits to enhance their power,[4] this process often granting them new aspects to their powers in the process), Surface Scaling (Even the least agile of triggers are capable of running straight up walls and climbing on totally flat surfaces[2]), Enhanced Senses (Triggers are capable of seeing the Spiritual and Mental layers of reality, as well as have their senses tuned to such extremes that they can "hear sweat hitting the ground from another room, see in almost complete darkness, feel minor shifts in the air and smell chemicals that have no odor".[2] This allows Triggers to speak to each other at normal volumes from hundreds of meters away, as well as communicate through the minimal use of their vocal cords while keeping their mouth closed[9]), Reality Warping and Physics Manipulation (The use of energy can cause Random Events, causing a conflict between the laws of physics and reality in an attempt to replace it with the Energy Layer[2]), Statistics Amplification (Can attack with an Energy infused punch, increasing it's speed and power, as well as well as use Energy to block or dodge for similar effects[2]), Forcefield Creation (Energy Block can emit a forcefield upon use[7]), Light Manipulation (Energy Defense can cause a flashbang effect that blinds opponents after it succeeds[2]), Telepathy (Triggers are capable of easily "reading" mundane people through observing them on the mental layer[6])
Time Manipulation (David's Unique Power allows him to manipulate the "state" of objects, locking them onto or shifting them to certain points in their timeline.[6] Can use this to shift his Energy Revolver from "unloaded" to "loaded", suddenly fire a series of bullets, or attempt to shift himself from "mind controlled" to "not controlled"[3]), Absorption (Homewreckers are granted[10] the Carnage power perk, which allows them to increase their power in the midst of combat through killing people or Triggers and absorbing their Energy, and retain some of the benefits overtime[2]), Superhuman Precision (David possesses S[6] Motorics, making their hand-eye coordination and precision far beyond a normal human, as well as Super Aim, allowing them to precisely hit the tongue, eardrum or eyes of a target[2]), Martial Arts (David was a prospective MMA fighter,[6][11] which is a skillset carried over and enhanced by becoming a Trigger[3]), Damage Reduction (Possesses a degraded version of Lindsey Graham's shroud, which reduces the damage they receive[3]), Self-Destruction (Homewreckers have an innate "Kill Switch",[9] causing them to be consumed by a Gash[3] if they betray the organization[12]), Invisibility and Resurrection (Would have been able to access the complete shroud if not for Lindsey Graham's incapacitation, allowing it to also restore them to full capacity in case they would otherwise die,[6] obscure their identity[10] and reduce their existential presence by covering them in a darkness likened directly to nothingness.[13] making them difficult for even the senses of Triggers to detect[7]) | As before to a greater extent excluding Damage Reduction and Self-Destruction
Spatial Manipulation (Can cause objects to randomly teleport around a given battlefield,[14] potentially dragging them through several dimensions in the process.[15] Sufficiently compounded Random Events can cause an entire city to experience severe spatial expansion, ripping at anyone within it's radius[16]), Gravity Manipulation (Can briefly cause singularities to occur, distorting space-time and stretching the ground around it into Nano-Carbon Latices.[14] This effect can potentially be manifested to such an extent that gravity is reverted, a true vacuum is formed, and an entire forest is converted to Latices.[3] Capable of coalescing gravity around a specific target, forming a massive sphere of material that pins them to the ground.[17] Capable of softening gravity, causing those in it's radius to move twice as fast from the decreased weight[12]), Transmutation (Capable of turning dirt into a harmful gas, and in more extreme cases cause matter to directly turn to Energy,[3] can turn water into wine and blood[18]), Matter Manipulation (Random Events frequently interfere with molecular structures, certain extremes are able to atomize those without sufficient resilience[18]), Air Manipulation (Can increase air pressure within 1000 meter radius exponentially for 30 seconds, causing explosions to be sustained thermobarically throughout the duration,[4]as well as cause a vacuum effect that shreds nearby opponents[19]), Light Manipulation (Can cause an implosion of heat that becomes as bright as the sun, blinding anyone in it's wake,[20] which can be manifested to such an extent that it melts steel throughout a hydroelectric dam[4]), Temperature Manipulation (Can prevent molten material from cooling off, sustaining it's heat from the explosion that caused it to melt[7]), Weather Manipulation (Can create a storm of energy that hovers around the battlefield[20]), Time Manipulation (Can revert time, causing attacks to be re-released as a massive explosion,[20] or cause stopped time to solidify and shatter into shards that revert whatever they cut into the recent past[16]), Size Manipulation and Density Manipulation (Can cause the density of manipulated material to become unstable, sometimes bloating their size and mass or causing them to collapse into a pebble sized chunk[7]), Madness Manipulation (Can warp the mental layer into an abominable and maddening landscape[21]), Vector Manipulation (Can cause objects to move in bizarre fashions by warping the vectors of their motion[21]), Plant Manipulation (Can cause destroyed trees to immediately sprout new ones,[3] and can cause them to wither and die[17]), Vibration Manipulation (Can cause a massive shockwave to proceed an impact, launching opponents for a notable distance[3]), Electricity Manipulation (Can convert the clouds in the sky into lightning that strikes everything in sight,[3] or form a lightning bolt on the mental layer from the accumulated grief of those within an area, empowering beings such as Soothsayer in the process[12]), Summoning (Sufficiently compounded random events can cause a "space between dimensions" to emerge, bringing forth some form of sentient being which eclipsed the combined power of the Wife Beaters on Day 2[3]), Creation (Can cause materials produced by an attack to emerge in extreme excess, such as bursts of X and Gamma Rays covering miles of Hellcity after Xander used Strong Force, Starfire's flames consuming all random events nearby to propagate beyond his initial attack,[15] The Butcher of Streets' blood slash continuing to produce blood and stain the nearby area,[19] or Vladimir's electric punches propagating yet more electricity[22]), Smoke Manipulation (Can cause smoke to accumulate over a given target, blinding them through visual obscurement and burning their eyes[15]), Fire Manipulation (Can cause weapons to spontaneously combust[19]), Status Effect Inducement (Can create bubbles of crystalized moments in time, which burst to induce a variety of effects on those nearby[23]), Corrosion Inducement (Can release a liquid that melts anything it touches[17]), Portal Creation (Can rip a gash into space, funneling in objects and causing them to appear elsewhere[17]), Chaos Manipulation (Random Events are capable of destabilizing reality to make random events more likely, or reverting this effect[22]), Age Manipulation (Can cause everything within a certain radius to become far older and corroded[24])
Reality Warping, Physics Manipulation, Spatial Manipulation, Gravity Manipulation, Matter Manipulation, Air Manipulation, Light Manipulation, Temperature Manipulation, Density Manipulation, Size Manipulation, Madness Manipulation, Vector Manipulation, Plant Manipulation, Vibration Manipulation, Electricity Manipulation, Smoke Manipulation, Fire Manipulation Status Effect Inducement, Corrosion Inducement, Chaos Manipulation and Age Manipulation (Can withstand the effects of Random Events[2]), Mind Manipulation, Memory Manipulation, Fear Manipulation, Life Manipulation, and Regeneration Negation (Can withstand and heal from the blows of other Triggers. Homewreckers are able to regenerate from Red Damage[25]), Poison Manipulation, Acid Manipulation and Radiation Manipulation, Biological Manipulation (Triggers are capable of resisting the effects of conventional weaponry, including a variety of chemical weapons, poisons, and radiation sickness,[2] and disobey the laws of biology to begin with[6] due to inhabiting the spiritual and mental layers simultaneously[4]), Void Manipulation (Triggers are capable of surviving exposure to Red Gashes, which are described as a total annihilation of "anything and everything"[8] that extends to every layer, including the Conceptual[10]), Statistics Reduction (Homewreckers are acclimated to Red Gashes and their weakening effects[25]), Telepathy (A Trigger's use of both the Mental Layer and their physical brain makes them difficult to read through interpreting either individually[6]), Power Nullification and Absorption (Can withstand the effects of Gash cracks, which are capable of absorbing energy and negating the effects of Unique Powers such as Silas' Cosmo Expansion or Blur's Temporal Shroud[20]), Time Manipulation (Warrane was capable of retaining consciousness and eventually moving his body out of stopped time, which was affecting a Gash that lacked time to begin with.[8] The Wife Beaters as a whole could also eventually overcome the effect, and were unaffected by the ensuing Temporal Rewind[20]), Probability Manipulation (Warrane was capable of withstanding Aisha's Unique Power,[3] which allows her to manipulate possible outcomes in order to pick favorable scenarios[6]), Immersion (Triggers are capable of defending against Mirror Man's ability to immerse themselves into the reflections of their eyes[7]), Explosion Manipulation (Blur was able to negate lower-end uses of[20] Warrane's Crunch, which spawns an otherwise indefensible explosion on top of a given target[26]), Pain Manipulation, Perception Manipulation (Triggers can resist Soothsayer's ability to induce these effects,[27] Shrouds provide immunity to sensory deprivation[4]), Information Analysis (Those with more complete shrouds are notably difficult to discern information from, even to Level 2s and their extreme sensory and mental capabilities[21]) | Same as before, along with Absolute Zero (While nearly being brought to death, Warrane ultimately survived his entire body being brought to absolute zero temperatures, and eventually overcame the effect[15]), Illusion Manipulation (Triggers can resist the effects of Hellfire Inferno Blazing Starfire's Grand Mirage, which create illusions that can fool both mind and soul[6]), Precognition (Triggers are capable of resisting Xander Phoenix's ability to perceive their future actions[28]), Death Manipulation (Blur, Linton and Stevens were able to endure Penelope directly commanding them to die through her property inducement, only decomposing and ultimately failing to prevent them from fighting[18]), Paralysis Inducement (Penelope was initially only able to command Blur to stop for a fraction of a second before her resistances overcame it,[16] Triggers can resist Trail Mark, where Heinrich Richardson creates paralytic sound around a given target[6])
Attack Potency: Town level (Those "branded" by Red Gashes are noted to have an increased degree of power,[6] and thus are superior to triggers that can throw a massive tree at mach speeds shortly after awakening.[29] David's use of the Energy Revolver is notably deadly, being able to blow away a portion of Xander Phoenix's spine and outright kill Silas Blueberry through a series of headshots[3]) | Large Town level (Fought alongside Blur, Stevens and Eucild against several Towers,[16] and incapacitated Asuka singlehandedly.[18] Was considered to be a valid ally for The Wife Beaters to bring into the Chesed Assault[11])
Speed: High Hypersonic (Even the slowest of Triggers are capable of moving faster than any human transportation,[2] including the X-43A's ability to reach Mach 9.6 or a Space Shuttle's top speed of Mach 22. Uses an Energy Revolver, which fires projectiles that travel at double digit mach speed[6]) | Massively Hypersonic (On par with Vladimir Kotosvsky in this regard)
Lifting Strength: Class G (Comparable in physical strength to Silas Blueberry[6]) | Class G
Striking Strength: Town level | Large Town level
Durability: Town level | Large Town level
Stamina: Superhuman (Triggers in general are inhumanly resilient, with even freshly awakened Triggers retaining consciousness through being impaled and serrated across their body, only to regenerate and continue fighting[29])
Range: Standard Melee Range (Has no weapons to extend the reach of his melee attacks; his ability to manipulate states only extends beyond himself through connected attacks[4]), Hundreds of Meters through Energy Revolver (Should be comparable to or in excess of the Colt Python's effective range), Tens of Kilometers with Energy Blast (While exceeding a Kilometer of range requires proper aim, Energy Blasts have a maximum range of the Trigger's line of sight,[2] which can easily go up to this distance[29])
Standard Equipment: Energy Revolver, Degraded Shroud | Energy Revolver
- Optional Equipment: Shadow Shroud
Intelligence: Genius (Possesses D rank intelligence,[6] granting them a genius' mental capacity[2] despite their crassness and reckless combat style)
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- State Control: David's Unique Power involves shifting or locking the "states" of objects across time, allowing him to rapidly perform or bypass the need to perform certain actions. This is noted to be a rather versatile ability when combined with a combination of physical and ranged prowess, though it's primarily used to bypass the need to reload his gun and fire it rapidly.
Weaknesses: Manipulating the states of objects rapidly expends a great deal of energy. Prior to their defeat at the hands of The Wife Beaters, they were extremely prone to violence and actively sought conflict at every turn, regardless of his chance at victory.
