ON DELSIN ROWE’S POWERS -
First and foremost, he has power absorption, with the fact that he won’t always be able to use a stolen power again unless he goes back to the source and ‘activates’ it; this is why his favourite powers are the ones whose elements are everywhere ( smoke from vents, video from TV’s, neon from signs ) If an element is a solid and too big, like concrete sidewalks or buildings, he won’t be able to use it as a power source unless he can break it down into smaller chunks. But when it comes to power that’s inherently a persons own ( say superspeed, flight, etcetera etcetera ) there has to be hand on skin contact.
There’s a reason element based powers are his preferred as stealing anything that isn’t causes his power to have both an energy absorption & life-force absorption effect. And element based powers are easier for him to control and switch out for another if he liked, whereas other powers, he needs to go back to same person he stole it from just to use it again. But Delsin willingly goes out of his way to steal only one power/power skill, should a person have more than one, at a time because if he were to take anymore than that he would more than likely kill someone because of his life-force absorption effect.
His power absorption only extends to people who are fully human. Deities and self made God’s/Goddess’s and aliens or any metaphysical beings of any kind can never have their powers stolen from them by Delsin, but there will be a self-power augmentation at the cost of their own energy ; he can’t take your powers but he can get both a taste & a boost out of it. Also, element based or otherwise, there will ALWAYS be an Energy Drain at their expanse which makes it hard for Delsin to fall asleep like a normal human, as well as have this feed into his ADHD & this also explains why he’s always chipper; should be noted as well that he’s never felt the effects of fatigue in a long, long time.
WEAKNESSES-
It will always be swimming. Throw him in water and he’ll tense up for a minute before trying to get out.
But seriously, Delsin will never be as proficient as the person he stole from. It’ll be like a baby trying to learn how to walk again. And if he ever wanted to be half as good as the person he stole from, he would have to train. That’s not to mention the lack of control he has over his power absorption, because his power is very reactive to his moods and if he were to ever lose control, it would horrendous. Delsin literally walks around like a leaking faucet of power.
TL; DR he’s stupidly OP.
