Greg Stanford is a man hardened by the ceaseless grind of life and manual labor, this 39-year-old titan exudes an aura of quiet resilience. He is a veritable giant among men, standing well over six feet tall with a body sculpted by decades spent heaving discarded refuse and unwieldy heaps of recycling. His strength is more than just physical - it's an integral part of who he is, and also his unique power in the Clash of Ten: Atlas Strength; a force to be reckoned with as long as his feet are firmly planted on solid ground.

His skin, tanned from years in the sun and weathered by wind and rain, clings tightly to his hulking muscles. Strains of silver thread through his closely cropped hair ––a testament to years lived tough––and stubble shadow his chiseled jawline. Deep-set eyes hold volumes untold; they reflect seriousness that only comes from unspoken hardship. They've seen the raw underbelly of society nobody wants to acknowledge - how waste molds back into wealth when forged by hard work.

Greg isn't much for idle chat; he has a knack for cutting straight to the heart of matters without wasting any breath on needless fluff or pretense, letting actions speak louder than words ever could.

Extra Details: Standing Height: Over 6 feet Weight: A formidable 250 pounds

Personality Summary: Greg Stanford is terse, pragmatic but stoic in nature—a far cry from your average city dweller brimming with jovial banter or business chatter. There's something about him that commands respect even as he silently works at tasks others shun—be it shouldering a heap of garbage or dealing an opponent their fatal blow in The Clash.

#9Automotive Possessionselective
Keys: Automotive Possession
Allows the user to merge with empty vehicles at will, becoming a sort of super-powered transformer-like mech. Alternatively, the user can simply merge their body and will into the vehicle, keeping it intact but gaining complete control over it. Powers and energy expenditure depend on the vehicle.

As a consequence of this ability, the user is able to consume fuel for sustenance, such as gasoline and diesel, but using its powers and moving in vehicle and hybrid forms spends a lot of energy and any damages sustained in vehicle form also transfer to the user's real body.

Some examples are:

Car: Allows the user to become a 3-meter-tall cyborg, capable of super strength, increased durability, and speed while spending a medium amount of fuel and energy.

Truck: Allows the user to become an immense construct the size of a truck at the cost of speed and a lot of fuel but grants extreme strength and durability.

Motorcycle: Allows the user to become a fast motorcycle-human hybrid, capable of high speed and spinning weapons in the forms of tires and wheels. Low energy and fuel expenditure.

Tank: Allows the user to become a tank, immune to bullets and regular weapons, and capable of shooting explosive missiles. It is extremely unviable due to needing to locate an unmanned tank and expending ludicrous amounts of fuel.
#10Botanic Manipulationselective
Keys: Botanic Manipulation
Botanic manipulation is a power that allows the user to control and stimulate the rapid growth of plants. The user is also able to experience some sensory feelings based on plants they are currently controlling, such as knowing when someone steps on a root or brushes on a leaf.

The main drawback to this power, not including the stamina expenditure for using it, is that the user feels pain when the controlled plants are damaged or destroyed. Depending on the damage caused to plants controlled, the user may even faint.

The user is otherwise capable of ensnaring opponents with roots, using large leaves and branches as projectiles, as well as several other creative uses for the plants in combat. They are, however, unable to create plants, depending on existing ones to accomplish their goals.
#11Telekinesisselective
Keys: Telekinesis
This ability allows its user to control objects at a range of up to 20 meters and up to 200kg in weight. The user is only able to control objects within one specific 2m² area and cannot lift or control living beings.

Continued usage of this ability causes headaches and eventually migraines. Lifting heavy objects increases the strain on the user's brain, causing even more migraines capable of incapacitating them.
#12Animal Aspectsselective
Keys: Animal Aspects, Animal Aspect
The user is able to take on animal aspects, shifting their body to partially resemble that of an animal. It works similar to a werewolf but without the limitations regarding the animal.

The user may, for example, take on the form of a lion, growing a mane, claws, feline-like eyes, nose, ears, and a tail. They would also have great strength and agility.

A rabbit form, for example, would make the user grow large bunny-like ears, nose, and big legs capable of jumps and speed.

The user is able to select any animal that have already seen in real life.

The main drawback to this ability, other than stamina expenditure, is the fact that when shifting into an animal aspect the user takes on some characteristics of that animal. A lion, wolf, or other predators may for example make the user more aggressive and prone to eating raw meat, a faster more cowardly herbivore such as a doe may make the user flee from combat when distressed. Larges animals also consume much more energy to use.
#13Pyrokineticselective
Keys: Pyrokinetic, Pyrokinesis
Users can freely generate, shape, and manipulate fire, the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products, flame being the visible portion of the fire. Depending on the substances alight, and any impurities outside, the color of the flame and the fire's intensity will be different. The user can also completely control the temperature of the fire at will.

Generating larger flames or stronger flames overall expends much more energy. Extended use of the ability also has a psychological toll on their user, making them become irrationally angry and emotional until they cool off and spend some time without using their powers.

The user of this ability is also granted passive and complete immunity to heat, burns, or fire.
#14Electricity Manipulationselective
Keys: Electricity Manipulation, Electric Power, Electric Powers
This ability allows its user to generate electric currents and shoot them in short-range bursts of electricity resembling a cone blast of lightning at the cost of stamina.

The user is also able to charge energy from plugs and drain electronic devices and batteries on touch to recharge themselves.

If the user uses their ability, there is a period of 5 minutes in which they cannot touch large amounts of water or highly conductive large objects such as anything made of conductive metal or gold, if they do so, their energy disperses, causing them to instantly faint.
#15Illusion Manipulationselective
Keys: Illusion Manipulation
The user is able to create limited sensory illusions visible to everyone around them, including smells, sight, and sound but not touch. The illusions disappear in contact with other people.

The user is limited to a total illusion area of 5m², so they can either build one very large illusion or several smaller ones. Maintaining larger illusions for an extended amount of time greatly drains the user's stamina.

The user is also able to control these illusions at will until they are dispersed either by the user or by being touched by someone else.
#16Atlas Strenghtselective
Keys: Atlas Strenght, Super Strenght
The user is able to use super strength at the cost of increased stamina expenditure as long as their feet or shoes are touching the ground. This ability does not work inside vehicles or if being suspended/lifted off the ground.

The user is able to lift up to 500kg in weight with relative ease. This ability also grants the user increased durability and resistance to cold, heat, and electricity.
#17Teleportationselective
Keys: Teleportation
The use of this ability is able to instantly move anywhere within sight. This usage of this ability comes with disorientation caused due sudden changes in location disrupting perception momentarily making it impossible to perform actions immediately after teleportation and quick successive usage may cause nausea and vomiting.
