Hijack Airwaves [Minor] by Iczer

"Do not adjust your television. I control The horizontal, and the vertical"

The character has the ability to seize control of all transmissions within his vicinity, bending them to his will. With this ability, he can speak and hear through any radio, negate all signals and create audio and televised illusions.

Area of affect: Casual area of effect is a 60 foot radius, plus 10 feet per level. Intense area of effect is equal to 1 mile per level.

Capabilities: Casual: The character's casual abilities are the ability to tune into any signals within his area of affect. He can 'Hear' and potentially 'see' any transmitted information that passes through his sphere of effect, and if either the transmitter or a receiver is nearby, he can transmit his own images and sounds. With this he can blank out all communication devices except those of his allies, and speak through any radio device within range. He also can sense the general location of any transmitters.

Capabilities: Intense: If the character slips into a meditative trance then his area of affect spreads out dramatically. In this fashion he can perform all the effects listed above, but on a much wider scale. left to his own devices, radio devices are pretty much under his control. He can only maintain this trance for 10 minutes per ME point before needing an hour's rest.

Limitations: This ability only functions against radio type broadcasts, including microwave, satellite and cellular broadcasting. It does not function against any hardwired program, any hardline communication or any point to point laser communication. Its ability to affect other types of transmitted information is left to the GM's fiat.
