 Created by: Lawrenz Lano First appearance: Novel Grey Legacy Other picture:  First Comic book appearance: The Return of Gaia Force #2  Other appearances: Gaia Force #3, #4, #5, #6  | Real Name: Daniel Hair: Black but keeps head shaved Eyes: Brown Height: 5 foot 10 inches Age: 25 in 2012 Born in: Canada Familial links: Brother (Renshi), sister (Caregiver), lover (Michael) Base of operations: The Citadel, Moon Ethical alliance: Good History As keeper of secrets, Arkahnus has never spoken of his prior life or how he came to be part of Gaia Force nor has he ever divulged that Caregiver was his sister, until she, herself, alluded to that fact, much to the surprise of the other Gaia Force members. Arkahnus is a tormented soul and unlike the other members does not revel in his power. Knowing the secrets of billions of souls and witnessing the horrors and pains they are living has made him embittered about his role as a guardian. He often wishes that he could actively participate in helping Humanity, but his position as Gaia's protector prevents him from interfering in the lives of Man. He must solely watch and record. At times when he feels conflicted, he usually confides his fears and doubts to his brother, Renshi, or his friend, Silverlance. Because of his particular skill, Arkahnus is often alienated by some of the members of the Force. While this sometimes pains him, he does understand their misgivings, and so, has tried time and again to assuage their fears by telling them their secrets were safe with him and that even if he did know everything about them, he did not share the knowledge with anyone. Arkahnus is second in command of Gaia Force and usually is the one to assign them their tasks. Powers Photographic clairvoyance: He can read a person's complete life experiences at a glance. Enhanced intelligence: His brain has been expanded to process loads of data. Arkahnus can access vast knowledge, and although he is smarter than most he is not particularly intelligent in the sense that, he doesn't necessarily possess the skills to create new concepts. His skills are primarily information storage, retrieval and exchange. Enhanced Memory: His brain can store the complete life experiences of every individual on the planet and still have plenty of room to spare. Enhanced Vision: He possesses telescopic vision allowing him to see as far as the outer planets and like all members of Gaia Force, can see in various modes and can stare directly at the sun. Force fields: He can create force fields which he uses in a defensive or offensive way. Omnilinguilism: Like all members of Gaia Force, he can communicate with any intelligent life form. Teleportation: He has teleported as far as Mars, and it seems that it is probably his maximum teleporting distance. In theory, he should be able to travel further using multiple teleport jumps, but he has never attempted it, as of yet. Telepathy: Possesses low level telepathy. He can communicate over vast distances instantaneously and allow others to do so by linking with them. Energy and physical resistance: Like all members of Gaia Force his body is resistant to the ravages of space. He also has moderate resistance to physical and energy attacks. Mental projection: He can show others what he is thinking by projecting his thoughts on a viewer he mentally creates. Super strength: His enhanced strength gives him 5 tons of lifting power. Extended lifespan: Like all members of Gaia Force, he possesses long life. Self sustaining: Does not need to eat or drink. Like all members of Gaia Force, his body is nourished by starlight. Space travel: He can survive in the vacuum of space and has travelled as far as Mars. Weaknesses: Arkahnus can only read people he sees and can only read their conscious experiences. If they perform actions under someone's influence and are unaware of having done them, he will not be able to see them as well. He cannot read the Guardian, Nicci and has a limited read on Avatar Prime. At present, he cannot read non-Humans. Paraphernalia: Carries what looks like a book around his neck. No one knows if it serves a purpose. |
