Untouchable: [Minor] by Iczer

'what i miss most is the human contact'

The character generates a low level repulsive force field over his body. This skin tight and mostly invisible field rejects all contact with matter and energy, granting him extraordinary abilities.

The most potent of these abilities is that he cannot be touched. This is not to say he cannot be grappled, punched, kicked or shot, only that the field flexes and then repels. Thus, attacks that require skin to skin contact are ignored. Likewise, chemical reactions, that also require skin to skin contact, such as tear gas an acid, are ignored by this character.

Defensively, the character takes half damage from bullets and sharp piercing weapons, as well as from fire and heat (the heat hurts, but his skin is never exposed to open flame. He cannot be electrocuted, as he is never in contact with electricity for it to pass through him. (though electrical blasts, that contain heat and impact will inflict half damage) lasers pass through the field with ease, as do sonics.

The character can breathe normally (and so gasses are still effective) but cannot eat or drink with the field up. Additionally, unless the character drops his field, he is without a sense of touch, reducing any sense of balance by 15% and any skill requiring a fine touch by 20%. Maintaining the forcefield costs the character an action every melee.

'poison darts? HH what is this, middle school?'

The character emits a soft solid field over himself which prevents contact. Heat and damage still radiate through normally, but actual contact does not occur. He cannot be poisoned except if he breathes or eats it, a the field folds over the weapon allowing the blade to cut, but preventing the passage of any poison. likewise any power that requires the character to be touched to work simply fails, the barrier blocks the transmission of the power. Acid is also blocked (it makes no skin contact) though forms of energy still radiate and conduct through him as normal.
The character can shut this power down, but by default it snaps on when unconscious or unaware.
