Dr Dani Murphy sat down at his laboratory desk, twiddling his thumbs as he decided on what experiments he could do today. He was the top of his field, making scientific breakthroughs every month. He should be doing something productive. However, he was feeling lazy today, and decided to do just a really simple experiment, one that anyone could perform. Floating oil on top of water, an experiment which he knew what the answer would be. He poured water and some olive oil into a glass, and watched as the water and oil separated, leaving the oil on top.
Dr Murphy sighed, leaving the room to quickly grab a sandwich. He walked back into the room and sat down on his swivel chair, looking at the oil as he ate some of his sandwich. There was ham, cheese, lettuce, onions, tomatoes and mayonnaise on the sandwich, and one tomato slice fell off of it into the mix of water and oil. Dr Murphy looked at it without paying much heed to it, leaving it on his desk for future him to sort out.
Later on during the day, at around 12:30 pm, Dr Murphy was testing out the flammability of a cube of tungsten while listening to the sound of rain outside. He coated it in olive oil and set it alight, watching as the flames coated it, yet no damage was done to the cube. The flames set off the fire alarms, setting off sprinklers in the laboratory. This was a normal occurrence for Dr Murphy, so he thought little of it. He walked over to the wall with the switch that could manual override the sprinkler system, leaning over his desk to do so. However, just as he grabbed the handle to turn off the sprinklers, his body soaked, he looked at his tomato in the oil, only to notice that it wasn't there.
"It must have went over the edge of the container when the sprinklers were set off." Dr Murphy reasoned with himself as he looked around for the tomato slice. They began to smell if left outside a fridge for too long, and he didn't want to deal with that. He looked all along the wet, slippery floor, but he didn't see anything. Be even looked under his table, just to be sure. However, when he stood up, he felt as if he was high on drugs. The slice of tomato was flying, and maintaining its height, in the air.
Dr Murphy quickly ran to the sprinkler override switch and flicked it, causing the sprinklers to turn off. And as the water stopped falling, the oil-coated tomato slice dropped from the air. Dr Murphy couldn't believe what he was seeing. It defied all known laws of physics. He quickly ran over to the tomato slice and picked it up, filling up a small beaker of water as he did so. He shoved a metal ball bearing into the centre of the tomato slice to make sure that the tomato slice would stay down. He placed the oil-covered tomato slice into the water, watching as it sank for a second, but then began to rise, taking the metal ball bearing with it as it rose.
"Finally...flight!" Dr Murphy yelled, pumping his first into the air. He had made the most significant scientific experiment of his life. The ability to ascend off the ground, but there was one thing he had to do first. Dr Murphy grabbed a few bottles of olive oil from his nearby shelf of food supplies, dropping one of them as he ran outside. He poured the oil over his head as the rain battered down on him, his mind racing at the scientific breakthrough that he was about to achieve. However, as the last bottle emptied, his body soaked in oil and water, his hope shattered. He had not moved an inch from the ground. The idea of what he had seen just, the tomato slice floating, being an illusion of his mind entered his brain for a second, but he dismissed it as the thoughts of a quitter.
Dr Murphy spent the next few hours testing out the test on animals and objects, and even other people. However, if those people began to float, they only came back down when the rain stopped, and even then they always died upon re-entry, shattering against the ground like a leaf under a foot. He tested it on groups of people, going as far as to even test it on his own spouse, knowing the outcome of the test the second the rain stopped. That day was the last day anyone ever heard from his wife again, the sound of bones shattering ringing through Dr Murphy's ears. He had tried to catch her. He had tried to break her fall, but all he did was make it worse. Her body snapped in half as he caught her, her spine bent at an almost 90° angle.
Dr Murphy laid down in his bed, holding a pillow where his wife would have been. He began to cry tears of sadness, lamenting his loss of life and his own inability to fly. He felt a shiver down his back, the sound of wood creaking behind him. He turned around in his bed, holding his pillow as tears streamed down his face, only to find nothing there. However, once he turned around again, he saw a creature with thousands of eyes staring directly at him, almost as if he was staring in his soul. "Poor human. You sacrificed your loved one. Your one true eternal partner, just to watch her die right in front of you." The creature said, its voice as clear as day as its mouth full of yellow teeth grinned.
The creature then imitated the sound of bones breaking, causing Dani to hide underneath the covers of his duvet. "You wish to fly, don't you?" The creature offered him, extending his hand to the duvet, pulling it back to reveal a traumatised Dani. "With the power of flight, you'll be able to prove that it's possible!" The creature announced, giving Dani an amazing offer. He accepted without a second thought. However, if it sounded too good to be true, it probably was. The second he grasped the monster's hand, his mind went blank. There was...nothing. The creature dissolved into a pile of dust right before his glazed eyes, whispering one final thing to him.
"Don't. Get. Caught."
The doors to Dr Dani's house were smashed open, the sound of footsteps thudding his eardrums. He quickly jumped through the window of his bedroom, landing on the ground outside his house and running away, seemingly unharmed. TCF Members quickly located Dani's room, seeing a pile of dust, a piece of porcelain heart and a note left beside it. The note read the following statement.
"When one obtains abilities beyond the normality, they must give up their sanity, something else, or their humanity. The last one left their human side, yet this one has not a mind to hide. His sanity is gone, but at what cost? What can you find, if it was not lost?"
[Incident Log - Finished]
[Summary of Harness' Abilities Listed Below. All abilities here are confirmed from experiencing and/or observation.]
Incident Three, Harness, appears to have the power of Gravikinesis, the ability to control and manipulate gravity in any way he wishes. This includes flight, gravity shifts, gravity increasing and decreasing. It also allows for the user to create black holes if given enough preparation time.
We have not studied him enough. He is a vicious creature, not having a sanity of his own. He appears to run off instinct, and that includes the knowledge he had as a human. He can remember how to talk, stand, walk, anything a human can do, but he either just does not care, or isn't ABLE to care.
Further investigation is needed, but he is not normal. He wears a coat whenever he flies, and he does not ever leave an without looking immaculately dressed.

CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
ShadowAmeratsu
ShadowAmeratsu This is my own take on the Trollge called "Stairway". Who was given that name due to him flying in the rain while coated in oil, allowing him to surpass gravity. I hope you enjoyed this new version of him!
