Tier: 10-B,
higher while enraged
Name: WDinATX, real name unknown
Age: Physically 23, higher mentally [See note 1.5]
Powers and abilities: Some swordsmanship knowledge (No formal training but was able to score a draw with someone who did, albeit when underestimated), Rage Power, Enhanced Senses (Often listens to music while conversing and claims he can do the same with a podcast. Consistently can hear things while listening to music that others miss without it. Can hear his name from another floor while watching a video and under a fan at its max setting.), Social Influencing (Capable of getting people to like him enough to get out of trouble. Can comfort friends enough for them to thank him for their rise from depression, though he’s confident they’re underestimating themselves. Sparks feelings of [generally not romantic] love in several people, even online friends who’d once scoffed at LDRs. Is able to engage in philosophical debates [often with other students of the subject] and even influence their viewpoint. Is an impressive liar who knows how to twist the truth to his own ends and can mimic the body language he’d have if he wasn’t lying.), minor Supernatural Luck (Unlikely things happen to WD more often than likely things), likely Resistance to Poison Manipulation (Barely stayed conscious for over 30 minutes in a small room with gas from several spray cans of deodorant, resisting the urge to open the door), Disease Manipulation (Most of his symptoms come from stress, rather than actual illnesses. Was almost entirely asymptomatic after contracting COVID-19, which shortly afterwards left his mother nearly bedridden for two days and gave her the equivalent of a really bad cold for another five. A lack of symptoms left him dumbfounded when he tested positive for strep throat.), Extreme Temperatures (Was barely affected by being out in the cold for 90+ minutes, at least 60 of which were in the rain and 30 without cover, only wearing a t-shirt/shorts while most of the crowd was shivering under 2-3 layers and an umbrella. Considers 90-95 degrees Fahrenheit mild and is unaffected by Texas summers, which almost daily hit about 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Considers heat waves reaching up to 110 degrees “actually pretty darn hot”.), Pain Manipulation (Is able to adapt to pain quite quickly, such as when people thought he was egging on his pain from appendicitis [which seemingly affected his sister more than a cut requiring 14 stitches] before he adapted to it, as he went from “writhing in pain” to “mostly fine” so fast they assumed it was never that bad. Has on multiple occasions been confused by how little pain he felt from falls that left others writhing and he rarely knows where he got his bruises.) and possibly Fear Manipulation (Often refers to other people’s nightmares as a “nice dream” and can prove his point by describing a “real nightmare” that leaves them absolutely horrified. [See note 1] While WD abhors the horror genre, this is more out if a dislike of fear than being prone to it, and he’s often surprised when people are genuinely scared by a character.)
Attack Potency: Human Level (Has never seriously fought while calm and isn't particularly athletic.),
higher when enraged (Consistently defeats adult humans in one on one fights, even when as young as 14. Comparable but weaker than his little sister, a national level junior triathlete.)|
Human Level (Comparable but weaker than before.),
higher when enraged (Broke a computer beyond repair by slamming it shut.)
Speed: Average Human movement speed (Ran a 100 meter dash in 19.36 seconds while significantly out of shape. Barely outran an enraged teenager at 17.),
higher attack/reaction speed (Can consistently punch twice in the time Rhythm Boxing 2 expects the average person to punch once. His mind works so fast he often responds to people so fast that they think he’s interrupting. Was requested by his father to fight the “Ringmasters” in Horizon: Forbidden West despite not playing the game because his reaction time was far superior.),
even higher when enraged.
Lifting Strength: Average Human Level,
higher when enraged (An enraged WD took two trained nurses and his mother working together to hold him down, the latter of which only barely lost at arm wrestling to a post-Pandemic WD.)|
Average Human Level,
higher when enraged (Comparable but weaker than before.)
Striking Strength: Human Level,
higher when enraged
Durability: At least
Human Level (There is no change to his durability with anger, and yet he can take blows from his sister. Somewhat comparable to his sister, who's survived numerous bike wrecks. Is frequently confused by how little things hurt.)
Stamina: At least
Average normally (Ran a 5 mile race in just over an hour and had mostly recovered after that much time. Walked two miles through hilly terrain in over 105 degrees Fahrenheit, the second half of which he was carrying about five pounds of stuff. Walked for hours in 100+ degree weather with few breaks and was more angry than tired.),
Unknown when enraged (Fights tend to get broken up before he can really prove himself in this regard),
High mentally (Unnerves people by arguing for hours straight [though it's less common than the argument being interrupted by his anger], that he can pull all-nighters or refuse to escape a room in which he could barely breathe. Sometimes spends all day on a “writing high” with little to no food, drink or rest.) |
Varies [See note 2] from
Below Average (At times is so lethargic that he spends most of his time in bed. Sometimes gets so out of shape that less than 15 minutes of exercise makes him dizzy.) to
Average (Can replicate most of his pre-pandemic feats with sufficient motivation and preparation.),
Unknown when enraged (Same as before),
High mentally (Can replicate all his pre-pandemic feats. Spent eight hours writing an assignment with no breaks and barely any food or drink. Frequently goes months without sleeping for at least 6 hours. Quickly overcame a lifelong fear of needles to prove a point.)
Range: Standard melee range
Standard Equipment: Phone, AirPods, wallet
- Optional Equipment: Wooden sword, boxing gloves
Intelligence: Above Average (Scores well on tests in a difficult school with minimal effort.
His writing is so advanced that deviating from a prompt doesn’t stop him from getting an A. An avid player of intellectual games like chess and Among Us, WD can think many moves ahead and “mastermind” games against people with higher general intelligence. Is consistently seen as one of the best Smash Ultimate players in his friend group(s). Is capable of remembering conversations to such an extent that he was called a "human court recorder" and uses these in debates to good effect. Knows many obscure and extensive facts about a slew of fictional universes and our own, boasting that if challenged to a game of his choice he’d “win at an SCP or Fate/ trivia game unless it’s against Death himself“ [though his knowledge of “meta trivia” like release dates is weak] without a hint of doubt or irony.
Rarely surprised by twists in fiction, despite rarely reading mystery novels (such as [spoilers to Moriarty]
expecting “Frederick Chase” to be an antagonist but not realizing he’s Moriarty himself or [spoilers to Fantastic Beasts 3] figuring out over 10 minutes in advance that
Bunty had the Qilin case), and can even predict some characters’ lines in advance like Joseph Joestar.
Builds psychological profiles of his friends to guide their actions, figure out when/how to help them, choose the right gifts, etc. Reviewed a classmates essay so well they said he’d “saved [their] paper.” Is an expert philosopher who has influenced many students of the topic and has been told on multiple occasions [to various non-zero degrees of seriousness] that he could someday to get a PhD on the topic.) | At least
Average (Despite having fallen into a pit of low grades since graduating from high school WD remains quite intelligent, having created elaborate plans to hide his procrastination and still get passing grades. To this end he's learned several strategies to use context clues and cold reading to figure out the correct answers to questions he has little to no knowledge of, even on midterms with primarily short answer questions. WD proved that he's to maintained his deductive skills by solving Glass Onion with ease, his mind’s eye seeing the last 15 minutes of the firm before his real eyes, and describing John Wick 4’s ending as “so expected it was a surprise.” He even figured out that [
massive spoilers for Genshin Impact's Fontaine Quest]
the Fontainians were Oceanids from Vacher's death scene and that
Furina was deceiving the Heavenly Principles from her conversation in the box with the Traveler. Despite otherwise having no experience in Horizon: Forbidden West, his father called upon him to fight three “Ringmaster“ challenges/bosses, which require sequentially performing intricate combos using an array of weapons and powers. Frequently deduces exactly what an author was thinking when writing a scene and the flaws in said thought process, even from secondhand tellings. Despite his rust, WD is still a skilled player of intellectual games and replicated some of his pre-pandemic feats in them.
Has replicated every italicized feat from his pre-pandemic self and still possesses a wide array of knowledge.)
Weaknesses: Normal human weaknesses. Is so easily manipulated that he needs to hold grudges to not be repeatedly gaslit.
Is fairly oblivious, as shown by things like him nearly losing an eye by walking into a tree branch and not even noticing when fictional characters are flirting with each other. Avoids fights when calm and he hates his temper. His anger often gets in the way of persuasion and rationality.
Has trouble remembering faces. His stubbornness causes problems for him, prolonging arguments and making him struggle at agreeing to disagree. This is to the point he assumes that he's either explaining it wrong or that the other person is "broken" when they disagree with him on certain topics [See note 4].
Extreme stress makes him physically ill, sometimes to the point of near-unconsciousness. Suffers from an intense fear of needles and sees them as comparable to being stabbed.
Prone to panicking when things don't go according to plan or when he feels rushed.
Considers many things more violent than they actually are and is somewhat self-centered, assuming [redacted] purposely reminded him of a traumatic experience because “there’s no way anyone could actually be that stupid” when [redacted] likely just didn't know he's there.
Has an irrational fear of Yanderes and constantly worries that he’ll fail those he cares about. His Supernatural Luck brings good and bad luck in equal measure. Absolutely hates lying, to the point he’d rather face detection than outright lie, though he’s not above using exact words or simply not answering questions. | Sometimes paralyzed by a lack of motivation, such as when he spent so much time in bed that he suffered weight loss from malnutrition. Is a chronic procrastinator that struggles to effectively use prep time.
Maintains every pre-pandemic weakness in italics and is still somewhat easy to trick
. While the range of topics is much more narrow there are still some things he simply
can't agree to disagree on [See note 4]. Is a chronic insomniac who rarely gets enough sleep, though his mental stamina means this is rarely a problem.
Key: Pre-Pandemic |
Current
Note 1: Rated as possibly because said “real nightmares” were downright
traumatizing to me. Still, I’ve had people admit that my
secondhand telling was scarier than their own nightmares.
Note 1.5: When I woke up from that dream I felt like years had gone by, to the point I spent weeks trying and failing to convince myself that I was still “my age.”
Note 2: I don't know why but it seems to take just a few weeks for me to get in or out of shape.
Note 3: Stats not separated into keys are more-or less identical.
Note 4: I'm not
quite stupid enough to give an example of but there are some things see as so morally disgusting that the only way I can accept their existence is to think there's something
wrong with people who disagree, regardless of their numbers, and am
literally unable to accept that "it's not so simple." While the number of topics has drastically dropped over the years it's still to the point I look down upon a demographic with over a
billion people for "treating the most heinous of crimes as saintly and seeing most basic of actions as the greatest form of evil like it's Orwell's 1984."
