[Reality Bending= Franks abilities are distinctly limited, and he cannot bend aspects of reality past his restrictions. Franks primary abilities are related to the manipulation of the human mind and Mandelbrot fractals. While not able to produce intense physical phenomena, Francis has honed the subtle ability to tweak the mental processes of those around him. His powers are often imperceptible as a reality bend beyond a subconscious recognition. Hyper-perception. Able to cause hallucinations. Able to emulate the effects of various drugs and mind-altering substances on the body. Able to subtly tweak individual perceptions. Voice mimicry (Extreme, uncanny accuracy). Abilities, like hallucinations and warped perceptions, have a shared fractal imagery. Extended or irresponsible use of powers can result in physical harm or deformities like wounds, internal trauma, and even bodily disfigurement.]

[Backstory= Francis Marshal Montauk was born to unknown parents in the 1930’s. Abandoned at the doorstep of an orphanage for gifted children, his parents abandoned him out of fear of raising a potentially unstable reality bending child in a dangerous time period for anomalies. Growing up amongst other anomalies, Francis quickly becoming an outcasts of outcasts for not being able to hone his abilities, fostering a deep-seeded insecurity. Unbeknownst to them, Francis was beginning to teach himself subtle arts of reality bending, using it to manipulate gullible, less perceptive children to do his bidding. He grew up with few friends in childhood, but through superhuman perception, was able to piece together charming, likable traits from the people and media around him in order to be perceived more favorably. This performative personality benefited him, as he was eventually adopted into a proper family and became popular in higher education. Francis thrived in social hierarchy because of his charming facade and clean reputation, still subtly using his reality bending ability to adjust how people perceive him. He leveraged this popularity to get into a relationship with one Pamela Parton, who became Pamela Montauk after a rushed, out-of-high-school marriage. In adulthood, Franks charm translated to radio, where he began as a station host and pseudo-intellectual motivational speaker. He discovered that if he said big words together in just the right way, no matter what it actually meant, then people who don’t know better will think he’s smart and listen. In early adulthood, Francis impregnates Pamela, and they have an at-home birth. The child, Gregory Montauk, appears to strongly inherit Franks reality bending genes, as he comes from the womb glowing a bright yellow-white. Seeing the potential power in his offspring and feeling offended that a mere infant could possess such strong innate abilities, Frank gets an idea. Frank moved the Montauks to an isolated commune in the Everglades National Park. They were isolated deep in the everglades, with nothing but trees and marshland around for miles. The “Rising Sun” rehab camp is advertised as a stayaway camp for recovering addicts of controlled substances or vices. Behind the reasonable veneer of the camp, it is actually the facade for a cult, The Church of Khuxysus. Frank Montauk began the myth of a deity named Khuxysus, a child prodigy and deity of the sun that can heal wounds and mental afflictions. Frank told the commune that his son, Gregory, is a vessel for the sun deities immense power and will, and should be worshipped as such. Frank is raising Greg as a deity-like figure, exploiting his abilities for his own gain, fortune, and adoration from members. Francis also uses his own reality bending abilities to exploit the vice-addicted commune members, warping their perception to make them feel the effects of drugs. This effectively keeps them dependent on the church. Today, Francis has a reputation as a humble family man, devoting his time to helping people in his community overcome addiction through holistic, self-fulfilling treatment. The existence of the Church of Khuxysus and Khuxysus himself is kept away from the public, the more fanatical aspects of the Rising Sun commune only apparent to already immersed members. Francis has perfected the art of acclimating someone to the commune population through the slow trickle of information.]
