Lost in Translation

par·ley v. To hold conference with opposing sides to discuss terms.

Introduction

xxxxxIt's always the quiet ones. Parley is polite, organized, curious and generous... To start. It can't all be an act. But there's something hard to place about him, a sort of hard underlying pragmatism, political ruthlessness, grayscale morality and an almost reckless willingness to compromise himself that makes it difficult to tell just which side he's on. If even his own.

History

xxxxxOne of the many labrats liberated from the Prometheus laboratories, he's shed most known ties to his former life. And my, has he been busy building a new one for himself. Communications consultant for Claire Basil, part time PR consultant at Heroes for Hire, he picks up occasional interpretation work through the HellFire Club. Between New York's public mutation ban and subsequent client consent forms required for his above-the-table work, it's an uphill battle. He seems to be enjoying it.

Powers

xxxxxParley works is an empathic conduit.

What goes in tends comes out the other side - and often streamlined. He's inclined toward picking up and re-conveying sentiment... especially if it's someone else's. His own mind-to-mind communication, not so sleek; just an arrayed mashup of emotions and sensations, unable to influence much; when projected while speaking out loud, however, it's rather handy for being understood over language barriers. Things sort of wash through him from one side to the next, diluting the weight of his aura as it goes. He tends to slip sideways into peripheral focus by default and if people aren't looking, they might not notice him walking across an empty room. While it can be incredibly annoying when he would like to command attention, it makes for being an excellent sidelines interpreter. The deeper he takes someone into his mind, the less he seems to be an individual and the more it tends to feel as though the person he is interpreting is speaking directly.

This obscuring of presence manifests physically as well... to mixed results. He tends to move in a balanced silence with a subdued creeping sense of weight -- less successful are the markings. In a savanna, rosettes and tawny fur go a long way to breaking up your shape. On practical application, against New York pavement and subway tunnels, not so much. No gold star for that mutation.
