Overview
(Deleted.)
Fire Blast/Ice Manipulation
Fire and Ice is Tahquitz's forte. While he's not a master of either power, the dual damage types allow him to exploit vulnerabilities in others with fire, while slowing the progress of high power villains using Ice. Tim does not need to be in demon form to use these powers, although he chooses to anyways. Inconsequential burn marks and frostbite forms on his arms and hands if he uses them for too long, which rapidly heal at rest and are much easier to hide as Tahquitz.
Flame Mastery
A frequent tactic of Tim's is to drop in on a group of villains, attack the minions at will, then allow the boss to knock him out.
Flight
Tahquitz has developed his flight prowess to rival the top heroes in Paragon City at his young age. His Afterburner technique affords a 10 second boost of raw speed while flying.
Fitness
Tahquitz has a slim build and athletic physique. His physical prowess is that of an average teenager. He can run a mile, but is no cross country racer. He can stay in a fight for a while, but he's no Tank or Scrapper. One good hit and he's out cold.
Speed
While on the ground, Tahquitz is as fast as any other hero. His attack speeds can be temporarily boosted, but the duration is temporary.
Misc. Abilities
None
Associates and Acquaintances
None
Meta
Initially Tahquitz was in Paragon Regulators, but later moved to Heads of Cerberus after the "dark ages" (2008 recession.)
Notes
As this character is a textbook example of cultural appropriation by a white male player, the player elected to delete them and start over on another shard. The player left Everlasting in 2023 along with the Cape Radio community.
