NAME: Dr. Enoch Waldinger AGE: 29 DIVISION: Research OCCUPATION: Physicist specializing in rift radiation
TIME AT ENODIA: Enoch was one of the first hires to the station, along with his older brother, Gavin. Gavin died on an exploration mission a month and a half before the pulse, and Enoch was away for less than a week before coming right back to work.
POWERS: ⚛️ illusion manipulation: creates illusions and manipulates people to see, hear, smell, touch or taste things that aren't real ⚛️ truth perception: cannot be fooled by illusions or anything that "lies" to him, although this power is underdeveloped ⚛️ more details on his app
SUMMARY: Certified genius who got his PhD at 24 and carries himself like he absolutely believes he's smarter and better than you. Moved from London to Los Angeles as a child; was never hugged by his rich British parents and cannot tan to save his life. Claims to not believe in anything that can't be backed up by cold hard scientific evidence (so things like love, faith, selflessness? Needs More Data). Treats people more like research subjects than people. The kind of guy whose theoretically limitless illusion powers are hampered by his own lack of imagination.
CURRENT STATE: Enoch's brother passed away only four months ago and his essence(???) was partially absorbed by a coworker, and now Enoch's sister wants to work here too. Enoch is Completely Fine with all of this, so don't you dare express any concern for him. He's eager to get back to work and decipher the mysterious pulse that knocked out the station.
WANTED LINES: ⚛️ Research Division Nemesis: A fellow high achiever whom Enoch just loathes. They put on fake smiles and snipe at each other whenever they pass in the hallways. Every professional success this person receives causes Enoch to launch into a 10 minute rant to whoever's nearest to him. I guess he should also have research friends, but. Well. Have you met him. ⚛️ Pulse Pals: When the pulse happened, Enoch threw everyone in the same research lab into an impenetrable illusion of somewhere(??) in the Riftlands. Was your character there? Did anything weird happen to their powers? ⚛️ Ex (of either gender): Enoch is the kind of ex who keeps a list on his phone of everything you've ever done to annoy him and recites it during arguments. He thinks cuddling is something to be tolerated on holidays. If kissing him sounds like the kind of mistake your character would've made, let's talk.
ANYTHING ELSE: The Waldinger brothers were well-known for having an antagonistic, competitive relationship (mostly from Enoch's end). Gavin was an Explorer and more likeable than Enoch, so if your character is a long-time station employee, it's possible they knew Gavin much better than they knew Enoch.
