In much the same way as we have our own 'inner voice', Alvis can bring his inner voice into the minds of others, essentially talking from inside their head. It is important to note that this is different from a hallucination; his voice is clearly different to any external sounds, and its source being something internal is evident even from the first word. His voice isn't heard, exactly- rather, it is experienced... and, for that reason, he makes a habit of letting people know what's going on when he talks. Having someone else's thoughts ring out through your mind can be a little off-putting at first, and Alvis doesn't like being off-putting.
[break][break]
The voice is pleasant, at least, sounding exactly as one would expect Alvis's 'real' voice to sound like, if he had one. This usually makes him seem a little less unsettling.
[break][break]
He can speak to one person individually, or to everyone within what would otherwise be hearing distance. If he has already established a connection with a person, however, the distance at which they can communicate increases dramatically; Alvis can talk to someone several blocks down, if the connection between them is particularly strong.
[break][break]
The Silent Voice is Alvis' main method of communication, as most people he comes across are not fluent in sign language.

Alvis can implant thoughts and assumptions into people's minds, simply by willing it.
[break][break]
These thoughts will appear to be both true and coming from an internal source (i.e. not implanted by Alvis) at first. However, they tend to not remain this way for long after the initial manifestation. An affected person is free to dismiss the thought just as they would dismiss any other, as long as they have the presence of mind to do so.
[break][break]
Alvis ensures that, whenever this is used in a clinical setting, the patients affected are alert and awake, and talks them through all of it- before, during, and after the procedure. Implanting thoughts in unknowing (or unwilling) people's minds, no matter how technically harmless, is far too morally grey for him to even consider. Though he does use this in therapy, he only does so with patient consent. A negative cycle of thoughts can be broken if new ones are introduced, he believes, but he isn't going to use his patients as guinea pigs on which to test this theory.

Alvis carries with him a calming presence, and can strengthen this presence at will.
[break][break]
At its usual, passive level, the effects are only slight; those in his presence are unlikely (but not unable) to feel any extreme emotion, and are generally quite a bit more calm than they would be elsewhere. People tend to feel at-ease around him because of this, which (as you can imagine) is quite helpful, considering his line of work. He is aware that a passive aura of peace can cloud his patients' judgement sometimes, however, and he offers sessions over text if either he or the patient feel as though this is going to be an issue.
[break][break]
With focus, the aura can be strengthened to be far more noticeable. It feels numbing, at high strength- people have described feeling dull and almost completely emotionless when affected like this. Furthermore, if Alvis focuses it enough, then, as long as he's not met with enough resistance, he can put people to sleep. Needless to say, he doesn't do this unless absolutely necessary. The passive aura is usually more than enough.
[break][break]
Though he seldom uses it, the inverse of this ability is also something he can harness. Alvis can amplify the emotional state of a person as much as he can dull it, though he has no control over what emotions this manifests as- he is only able to alter the levels of what is already there, not change it. As such, it is considered too much of a liability to use in self-defense.

To Alvis, the human mind is like a series of locked cabinets. If someone hands him the keys to one of these cabinets, he can look at the thoughts and memories within.
[break][break]
This ability requires explicit and constant consent for it to work- and not just for ethical reasons. It is very easy for someone to deny access to their internal thoughts, especially ones they have locked away, and resisting this ability is far easier than resisting the others. Anyone can do it, if they know he's in there.
[break][break]
Strangely enough, this ability doesn't work all that well for people with particularly abnormal minds or spirits. Aliens, gods, eldritch horrors, and other things of that nature have a different sort of 'code' in their minds that Alvis is unable to parse. In many cases, trying to decipher what these memories mean gives him a headache, and produces a high-pitched whine in the back of the being's mind that grows in volume until they shut him out.
[break][break]
Perhaps due to this ability, or perhaps due to the psychic nature of all of his abilities, Alvis is completely resistant to all kinds of psychic influence. The cabinets in his own mind are firmly shut, and anything that tries to access or change them will react the same way as Alvis does when he's unable to parse an entity's mind- they will receive a splitting headache, and Alvis will hear that high-pitched whine until they stop.

Name: Dr. Alvis Holt.
[break]
Age: 80, approximately.
[break]
Gender: Male.
[break]
Nationality: Danish/British.
[break]
Occupation: Psychiatric therapist.
[break][break]
Alvis is a licensed therapist who runs the Hope's Garden therapy centre in Millennium City. He is a kind and peaceful man, determined to use his abilities to help those around him and better the world in whatever way he can, namely by offering specialised therapy and psychiatric help to those affected by metahumans and the state of the world around them. As a metahuman himself, he offers a particular kind of understanding to these plights, and is able to help in ways that someone without his gifts would find impossible.
[break][break]
Though he is physically mute, he is able to communicate to others through these gifts, 'speaking' as a silent voice in their heads, though he is also fluent in American, British, and Danish sign language as well. No matter how he speaks, Alvis usually comes across the same to everyone; a polite, soft-spoken individual, with a calm disposition and overall good intentions, even if he is a little secretive sometimes.
[break][break]
Alvis is a very private man. Though his job is to help others confront their demons, it is often speculated that he has demons of his own that he has long since neglected.
