'''Camden Ito''', known publically as '''{{PAGENAME}}''', is a member of the Anchorage [[Protectorate]] and a former member of the corporate hero team Eminent.<ref name=":0">[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Swjz8BZZNE4bq6lTkHanTK4sJ-K_xVlFudxA16mYjH4/edit#heading=h.5rrzcxqt95aq PRT Quest (Anchorage)]</ref>
==Personality==
A chronic inability to cooperate remains Lightslinger’s biggest drawback, largely due to his experience in ‘Eminent’.  Inter-member competition was promoted by the group structure and the incentives offered to team members, leading to fierce rivalries, one of which might have prompted Lightslinger to leave the team.<ref name="PRTF 3">'''Personality:'''<br/>A chronic inability to cooperate remains Lightslinger’s biggest drawback, largely due to his experience in ‘Eminent’.

Tired leaving possible thoughts for rewrite no to cut and paste.
The problem with Major meritocracies like what eminent tries to be is that merit is hard to quantify and those that think they know what merit is go out of their way to prove it and it means to the detriment of others ability to show merit. This Lightslingers attitude is colored by his previous experience at eminent where a competitive atmosphere meant to foster excellence caused capes to backstab each other. L

When operating as Lightslinger his costume is a closed armored bodysuit with halogen bulbs at the joints; he also wears a coat with reflective material lining it.<ref name="PRT8">Lightslinger wears a hard full-face mask and body armor punctuated by what look like halogen mounts at the joints. He wears a long coat of some material that reflects the light in tiny hexagons, and you can see the belt of grenades and flares. You have little doubt that some are phosphor. - [[Department Sixty Four]], [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/12976751 PRT Quest thread i p8]</ref>
==Abilities and Powers==
In Lightslinger's hands (almost) any light is converted into a concussive Laser cannon. The brighter the light source is, the more energy he can shape and direct. While his power can easily be lethal, Lightslinger can moderate the output to less than lethal levels. He can choose to either adjust the output and intensity of one light source at a time, or he can amplify every available light source at once, to devastating effect.<ref name="PRTF 4">'''Powers:'''<br/>Lightslinger magnifies the light generated by all nearby sources.  Sources of sufficient size that have been altered can then fire weaponized forms of radiant energy.  This energy can be made diffuse, reducing the power to safe levels.  Direction and intensity of fire can be adjusted with a thought, but only one emplacement at a time, or every emplacement simultaneously.  Lightbulbs are at the low end of this scale, with low-watt bulbs proving insufficient to become an emplacement.  Brighter sources generate more firepower. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Swjz8BZZNE4bq6lTkHanTK4sJ-K_xVlFudxA16mYjH4/edit#bookmark=id.t19o0k9l3m3t PRT Files document 12]</ref><ref name=":0" />

Lightslinger typically has LED lights on his costume  and flashbangs to provide lumens for him to work with.<!--Look up light source classification-->
==History==
===Background===
A Japanese refugee, Camden moved to San Francisco for a time where he found work with [[Corporate Team||corporate sponsored team]], ‘Eminent’, from 2008 to 2010.  He left the team and the area, moving to Alaska where he roamed, changing locations with some regularity before being approached for placement in Anchorage’s Protectorate team.<ref name="PRTF 2">'''General:'''<br/>A Japanese refugee, Lightslinger moved to San Francisco for a time where he found work with corporate sponsored team, ‘Eminent’, from 2008 to 2010.
