Background and Origin
Early Life and College
Jaysan Cynd is an inventor and scientist, but rarely acts or seems to be one. Although curious from a young age, he was often considered a poor academic, scoring poorly in all of his classes. This stemmed more from a lack of interest than from any learning disability. Instead, he devoted his time to his inventions. He would often create brilliant devices from literal junk to solve mundane problems or entertain. From lost ball locaters to self-sharpening pencils, he was capable of more than what anyone realized, yet he never gave his secret of how he did it.
Well, the secret is that Jaysan has no idea himself how his creations come to be. He unknowingly adds a small portion of his own magical energy into every device he creates, giving it special properties, and allowing Jaysan to directly manipulate nearby electronics.
Despite his low grades, his talent for invention attracted scholarships from universities across the nation. While uninterested in higher education, he attended college in the newly rebuilt Millennium City at his parent’s request. Jaysan took an interest in his studies, especially the history and culture courses. While naturally popular at home, once in college, his popularity soared, as did his ego. Despite his scholarships requiring an engineering degree, he pursued his passion, and instead registered entirely for the classes he enjoyed. All the while, he continued his inventing, fascinating his fellow students, but often attracting the ire of his professors.
Expulsion and New Beginnings
Eventually, this culminated in Jaysan creating several pairs of glasses, all linked so that they shared real time experiences secretly between each other. He initially gave them to his friends, until he realized that they were using them to perform massive cheating throughout the campus. When Jaysan demanded the glasses back from his friends, they instead turned him in to the college, blaming him for the cheating. Due to his poor reputation among the faculty and violation of his scholarship, his explanations were ignored, and he was unceremoniously expelled. Devastated at what appeared to be betrayal from his friends, he subconsciously destroyed the glasses, blinding his former friends and revealing to himself his ability to remotely interact with his inventions
Despite the circumstances, Jaysan was confident that he would be able to make a name for himself. Soon after being expelled, Jaysan started his own tech company, called Resolute Creativity, to try and market his inventions. Unfortunately, because he could not prove the mechanism of his creations, the majority end up being little more than toys; entertaining and interesting, but ultimately not useful. Jaysan became frustrated and disillusioned with the idea of creating devices for recognition, knowing that whatever he makes would just end up as useless trash, despite its revolutionary nature.
One day, Jaysan is visited by a mysterious person that claims it could solve his problems. With disbelief, Jaysan travels the world to meet them in their secret location. Once there, a secret organization informs Jaysan of two things that he would have to do to learn the secrets about himself: Create a device so impressive, it was impossible to exist, and then use it in such a way that everyone would have to listen.
He ended up creating his special suit, and became the superhero Resolve to ensure that everyone would eventually know his name. Initially, He was a superhero just for the fame, but ever since the Qularr invasion, where his suit was temporarily disabled, he has taken his job much more seriously, almost exclusively fighting crime as justly as possible.
Powers & Skills
Powers
Magical Craftsmanship - Resolve has the ability to imbue objects of any kind with magic, although he is generally limited to technology. As a side effect of his power, he can create seemingly impossible technology that defies the laws of physics. While he is technically capable of enchanting anything inorganic, his understanding of his own capabilities limits what he can enchant to technology that he creates.
As he builds something, magic allows him to subconsciously guide his tools and hands where they need to go to properly create the intended effect, sort of like a magical intuition. When the limits of technology are reached, as is often the case in his line of work, he transfers some of his own internal magical energy into the device. This process does not work in reverse, however; Resolve often makes fantastic inventions, yet hardly understands how it works, and couldn't explain it to another person.
Magical Energy Manipulation - As a side effect of his magical abilities, he wields huge amounts of magical power, which he can partially channel through items he uses. However, his naivety limits his maximum out put. While he could cast spells if he knew any, his unfamiliarity and lack of training make such exploits risky at best.
While fighting against Hi-Pan in Westside, Resolve found that he is essentially immune to magic. Whether this is a result of his latent magical powers or not is unknown
Technopathy - While generally a secret compared to his other powers, Resolve is certainly aware of his psionic connection to his inventions. Any invention that Resolve creates is magically linked to him. He can operate, monitor, and destroy any of his creations, either with his mind or via a special interface on his suit. If he wants to, Resolve can permanently sever his connection with a device, although this usually leaves said device inoperable. However, this psionic connection is limited only to things that Resolve makes, not to other electronics
Skills
Cultural studies - While he does not posses a degree, Resolve is well educated in the various cultures and politics of the planet Earth, from the mainstream to the relatively obscure. While rarely useful in a fight, as a superhero, he is more than willing to use his knowledge to negotiate or to ingratiate himself when he feels it is appropriate. He is constantly up to date on the latest current events around the world.
Technological Inventor - Resolve's powers form the bulk of his technical know how. However, in his desperation to understand his own technology, he has independently researched mainstream technology like circuits, chemistry and programming. While rudimentary compared to his powers, this knowledge allows Resolve to interact with non-integrated technology much more efficiently, and allows him to create more targeted counter-technology when necessary.
Devices
Nano Emmitter
Resolve's primary superhero abilities originate from his self made Nano Emitter, which produces the majority of his on the fly creations. The emitter itself is distributed throughout Resolve's suit, meaning that if his armor is penetrated and Resolve's suit is damaged, the emitter should usually be intact, allowing it to self repair and still be used. The Nano Emitter works by creating a cloud of nanoparticles that can take on a variety of properties and forms. On its own, the cloud does three things for Resolve and his teammates.
- Dampens incoming attacks -Using an advanced algorithm, the emitter detects incoming attacks and increases the resistance of nanoparticles in the targeted region. By extension, any nearby object that touches his cloud is detected, allowing Resolve to monitor and react to anything nearby, using a sort of sixth-sense like observation.
- Passive restoration -Resolve and any nearby humans are passively healed with restorative enzymes. The nanoparticles can reorganize to affect other organisms, including aliens and robots.
- Beacons and trackers -Interfaces both in Resolve's suit and his computer allow remote monitoring of any nanoparticles, allowing him to make thim visible for signs and markers, or to track specific targets across the globe.
Additionally, the emitter has a built in communications, AR display, and a direct line to his personal computer.
Microbots
In order to finely control the nanoparticles created by the emitter, Resolve deploys small robots across the battlefield to extend his range. Without these robots, he is only able to finely influence particles inches from his body. This allows the real-time creation of various objects.
Armor - Resolve's armor is actually condensed nanoparticles that have been energized into a tough matrix. Impervious to conventional weapons and resistant to energy weapons, it's strength comes from it's dynamic adaptation to damage. It is capable of repairing itself, and it is essentially weightless, but lacks the physical durability to withstand powerful threats.
Cannon - By accelerating nanoparticles with microbots, Resolve can quickly apply a hyper concentrated amount to any target, utilizing a rudimentary homing system to compensate for his poor aim. Since the nanoparticles are virtually weightless, in order for them to be effective weapons, changes the chemical properties to be more dangerous. Some examples include:
- Sensory suppression - Against enemies that have no superhuman durability, this is Resolve'e primary method of attack. It overloads the target's sensory organs, disorienting them and eventually rendering them unconscious. It is 100% non-lethal, but takes a while to reach effective concentrations. The mixture is effective against almost all physiologies, from aliens to mutants, even robots. However, those with superior durability are largely immune
- Corrosive mist - Those who use armor are usually immune to Sensory suppression. In these situatins, corrosive nanoparticles are used first to create sufficent openings. While it can cause dangerous burns and even scarring in extreme quantities, it is usually ok to use against armored humans and the like. Against inorganic, non-sentient targets, this is Resolve's attack of choice.
Resolve "skating" on air
Flying above Renaissance Center - Little Bang - Sometimes, you must stand against nearly invulnerable foes. Using this configuration, the particles clump together and form hyper-condensed explosives. The explosion is too strong to use against anything short of cosmic threats, as the risk of collateral damage is too great. Additionally, teh energy required to charge the nanoparticles to explode is extremely exhausting, and risks draining his nearly unlimited nanoparticle reserves at an alarming rate. This is truly a last resort weapon
Air Bolas - When temporarily incapacitating multiple foes, microbots form an organized matrix surrounding the targets, massively weakening their attacks and movement.
Regenerating Light - Focused stream of glowing nanoparticles that heal wounds and reconstruct armor. Revitalizes and wakes up unconscious allies.
Shield Emitter - A microbot placed directly on an ally condenses nanoparticles into a hard construct. While less durable than Resolve's personal armor, it is nonetheless a useful protective tool.
Other Gadgets
Energy condenser - Located in the chest of the suit, Resolve keeps a condenser that accumulates ambient energies, both conventional and magical. It comes with an A/C adapter as well. Resolve believes that this is the power source of his suit, and is very careful to maintain its charge, despite it being generally redundant. However, while useless for him, another person could theoretically use the suit using the condenser to power it.
Super armor - Resolve has an alternate configuration for his armor, employing much more powerful armor and better targeting capabilities. Using it is very energy inefficient and thins the nanoparticle cloud, so it is only used in solo fights.

Enemies
Put any rivals or enemies here. You can give descriptions, or simply list them. Same idea as the Allies and Friends.
General Perception
Unfortunately for him, that didn't immediately lead to appreciation. Initially, most heroes and citizens alike viewed the hero Resolve as attention seeking and useless. In earnest, they were at least half true. To shake that perception, Resolve decided to adopt a role that was both genuinely helpful and make him popular with the people: civilian rescue and crisis support. By hanging back and helping the civilians, he could dazzle the populace with his healing and protection. While his public perception soared as a result, other heroes still regarded him as more of an unreliable showboat. Additionally, despite his explosive popularity in Millennium City, recognition in the global superhero community was essentially nonexistent. The Qularr Invasion was meant to be Resolve's moment to shine, a breakthrough event where everyone would recognize his contributions. Unfortunately, when he rushed in to support the Champions, Resolve was disabled by an alien EMP, destroying his microbot array. The resulting slog while in a depowered state humbled Jaysan, and ultimately led to him re-evaluating his commitment to heroism. While he still hasn't forgotten the mysterious promise, Resolve now fights because it's the right thing to do.
A re-evaluation that would be more apparent to other heroes if Resolve bothered to cut back on the annoying showboating.
