Editing Ballistic (section)

==Personality==
Irony is worked into Ballistic's character, like many of Wildbow's characters. Prior to gaining powers, Luke was friends with all of his teammates and acted as the backbone connecting the other members. However, gaining his powers drove a wedge between him and the rest of the team, and his power itself only lets him destroy.<ref name=SV1>'''Xexilf:''' Cauldron have been working with this for a long while, and even they only have vague statistics and some hints. If it were as simple as "think of what you want while drinking the vial"....<br/>Mentality may play a role. But its far from a clear connection.<br/><br/>'''Wildbow:''' There is a connection though.<br/>[...]<br/>Luke was the pillar of the team, everyone's friend, the glue that held them together. Now he stands alone, and he destroys rather than support. - [http://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/posts/3156971 Post by Wildbow on Sufficient Velocity]</ref>

Interestingly he did not shoot Cherish when he had the chance. <ref>[[Snare 13.6]]</ref> But this was likely the work of Cherish herself.<ref>Moral reasons? Oh. You mean when the emotion-manipulator was in play. [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/10/30/colony-15-5/#comment-75419 Comment by Wildbow] on [[Colony 15.5]]</ref>
