Jeremy Rinne

Jeremy Rinne, affective alias Red Ear, is a major antagonist in Heroes Will Fall and a hero in Heroes Will Fall - Atlas. He is a member of the 3rd generation of Branch 2 heroes, with the start of his career marking the beginning of the generation. He is involved in the Heroes' faux judicial system as its regular Peripheral Examiner.

Appearance
Jeremy is a man of average height and lean/muscular build, standing at roughly 5'9. He has blonde hair styled in an undercut, just long enough for his bangs to cover his eyebrows and has shiny gray eyes. He has somewhat soft features, with the lack of a defined jawline causing him to present a tad feminine.

As Red Ear, he wears a crimson red bodysuit with armored panels on the front and back of his chest, knee guards, and similarly red combat boots. His uniform sports bracers that are a washed-out green, noted by Zirconia to look like the color of phlegm, but tasteful. In addition to standard utilities such as ropes and handcuffs, he wears a pack on his back with two stylized bat ears contained within the box, along with two indicator lights and a motor. This enables him to detect movement behind himself, as it picks up on subtle vibrations and informs him of the direction of oncoming individuals via haptic feedback. He is one of the few heroes who carries a weapon specifically engineered to maim and kill targets, a seven-foot tall tuning fork with a handle longer than the prongs. Many mistake the weapon as a bident.

Personality
Heroes Will Fall - Atlas

Jeremy is short-tempered and rude, displaying limited interest in conversation with fellow heroes and is even more curt with the members of the public, especially those that he deems to be less-than or unfortunate. He bears great animosity toward Eskender Woldeslassie due to conflict in their past, owing to Jeremy's habit of brutal torturous retribution toward those he deems unfit to be a member of society. Though he suffers from bouts of insecurity, he is confident in his abilities as a hero and as a man, regularly attempting to rekindle a fling with Ava in pursuit of a less lonely life.

Heroes Will Fall

Increasingly sadistic. Mask off, wants to kill Prevent members.

Powers & Abilities
Natural Abilities


 * Piezogenesis - Despite thematic elements in his costume and alias pointing toward sound-related abilities, Jeremy's true ability is the power to generate pressure waves through air or most mediums. Though there are few elements of subtlety in his power, he can wield it to great destructive effect, primarily utilizing this as a means to severely injure or outright kill targets, tear up streets, and launch vehicles. He can create pressure waves from nothing, selecting the amplitude and frequency and initial direction though it is more efficient to amplify an existing wave. He cannot outright nullify external pressure waves, though his brain is capable of understanding incoming waves and creating a counter-wave to nullify it. Jeremy is skilled with his ability to the point where he can throw himself across several blocks, utilizing his tuning fork as a means of steering and counterbalance and then using his ability to 'catch' him before he hits the ground.

Other

 * Jeremy is anti-police and advocates for heroes being the primary force of justice in the world.
 * He has produced theories about the true origin of powers, all of which were regularly shut down by Branch 2 staff.
