Name: Ryan Luthor
Paradigm
The Everpresent Sound: Music is everywhere, and everything. The basest of sounds converge, sometimes seemingly randomly, in order to produce wonderful melodies, just as a song from across the world can still move someone who has no connection to the culture it was made in.. This sounds permeates all vibration and emanations – life, movement, and thought are are parallel to it.
Ryan knows that it goes further than that - organization of sounds can transmit extremely complex ideas, just by the very patterns. What's more, all things are a product of and producer of sound, and through arranging it into music, one can change another, or the world. Examples of sirens luring ships to their doom with mesmerizing music, and ancient gods singing the world into being (or being swayed by Orpheus on his quest to regain his love) only reinforce that music has a real, tangible power. The proper sounds, arranged in different ways, can alter how a person perceives reality, or can carry their thoughts into the air on unrelated words - or echo their histories across time. As he devises more potent songs, he might even be able to move the body into physically changing, or even inanimate objects.
More details to come.
