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.

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.
Lightslinger proves cocky and confident, not helped by the fact that he is extremely good at what he does. He naturally seeks out studying and fitness regimens on his own. If he were to get a handle on his inability to work with others or the arrogant attitude that tanks his PR ratings, the PRT expects he could become a nationally recognized member of the Protectorate.<ref name=":0" />

Abilities and Powers
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, turning them into weapon emplacements. 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.<ref name=":0" />
