Abilities and Powers

Licit could create forcefields in geometric shapes, remaining aware of them to an almost clairvoyant level.<ref name="list">Wildbow's Parahuman List</ref> He could permit people and objects to pass through his forcefields on a case-by-case basis,<ref name="WoW">Comment by Wildbow on Spacebattles</ref> though sufficiently powerful hits could shatter the fields.<ref name="playtest" />

While he was potent defensively and strategically, his low range and lack of offensive applications hinder him,<ref name="WoW">Comment by Wildbow on Spacebattles</ref> as his forcefields often appeared in shapes like pyramids, diamonds, cubes, spheres, and cylinders.<ref name="playtest" />

The range within which he can create forcefields is listed as either line-of-sight<ref name="playtest" /> or twenty feet.<ref name="WoW">Comment by Wildbow on Spacebattles</ref> He is classified as a Striker.<ref name="16.x">Interlude 16.x</ref>

History

Background

Licit triggered because the big city lacked enough barriers, presumably to the objects of his vices. After his trigger event, he spiraled downwards due to drugs and partying before eventually coming back to reality and, along with his partner Edict, staying within the small-town boundaries of Stafford.<ref name="playtest" />

Edict and Licit originally trained with the Protectorate, but issues came up that prevented them from pursuing further Protectorate advancement. As independent heroes, they were only related to the Protectorate in the most tertiary way. They worked well as a team, but Edict had an unrequited love for her partner that made patrols and general cape life hard.<ref name="WoW" />

Story Start

Edict and Licit eventually began an on-again, off-again romance.<ref name="playtest" />

Post-Echidna

When the Slaughterhouse Nine visited Stafford, Licit and Edict were unable to stop them from recruiting Damsel of Distress.<ref name="16.x" />
