Draven Maddox

Draven Maddox is a Berlosian Lotus. He is young, reckless, and prone to violent outbursts. For some reason, he also thinks he's funny, but others rarely seem to agree.

Appearance and Personality
Draven is young and generally considered to be an attractive man, preferring to keep fit despite a steady diet of alcohol, sugar and pancakes. He is usually unkempt, deliberately going out of his way to make himself look more messy in an attempt to defy authority. As with all Lotuses, he typically wears an expensive suit, and is rarely to never seen without his Lotus insignia pin on his lapel.

Draven is widely considered to be unpredictable at best, and unstable at worst. It is a testament to his skill that Amir Nawzad employs him as a Lotus.

Enhancements
Geist: Draven possesses an implant called a Geist which allows him to render himself invisible, and create hardlight constructs, such as blades and armour. It can potentially also create illusions, though Draven has yet to figure out how to use this feature. Jenkins has theorized that Draven's specific model may be incapable of producing illusions, while Prince believes it may be a mental block on Draven's part.

Grav-Clamps: Implanted beneath the tissue of Draven's palms are a pair of devices that allow its user to adhere to other objects by creating an effect similar to a small gravitational field. Draven uses these mostly for climbing and parkour.

The Fleeting Kingdom: With an implant installed directly into his brain, Draven is able to access and interact with electronic devices that emit a wireless signal. He does so by enterining a space he refers to as the Fleeting Kingdom, an area constructed by his own subconscious to relay information to him in a way that he can understand. With this, Draven can access and hack into secured computer networks, surveillance feeds, and cell phones. While this ability is powerful in its own right, it is highly unreliable due to Terr-storms and their impact on most electronic devices and the signals they emit.

Impact Diffusion: Draven's bones have been treated in a way that allows them to absorb and diffuse impact upon being struck. He describes this as his bones "going rubbery."

The Lotus Formula: As with most Lotuses, Draven has been subjected to the Lotus formula, which grants him enhanced strength and endurance. It also allows him to Blink Step, the ability to propel himself forward on an energy current a short distance away. This appears to be a teleport function to the untrained eye, but in reality, a Blink Step causes a Lotus to move either their entire body, or just one limb, in one predetermined direction at an incredible speed. A Lotus who Blink Steps into an object is still subject to physics, and may trip at high speed, break bones, and in many unfortunate cases, die due to negligence.

Enhanced Metabolic Function: Draven is capable of metabolising sugars he ingests into a power source for his Geist. This power source is reliable, but burns quickly.

The Feud
For some obscure reason, Draven has an ongoing feud with waffles. Yes, the food. No one knows why, but it is worth a person's life to dare mention them -- much less eat them -- in his presence.
