Next In Line

The title Next In Line is applied to those with the power of particle manipulation (except for Yesare Dernes, who is considered the First In Line, due to her being the first to control this power).

Yesare Dernes (First In Line)
Before invading Los Angeles to create the Arena for JER's Tournament, Yesare Dernes ordered her surgeons to operate on herself. This operation required that Yesare became equipped withdata transmitters on each part of her skin, allowing her to manipulate anything around her.

The power proved to be unmatched by any weapon in history, as she usually exercises herself by raiding a city with no help when she isn't occupied with any Tournament duties. During the Coronation Ceremony, though, (information censored to the public), and she was overwhelmed by a nuclear blast which destroyed Empartia and obliterated what was formerly Los Angeles. She used her remaining energy to spread the resulting fallout to the rest of the world.

During her consequential hibernation, she was rescued by a group led by ??? (malicious character), and treated in the universe currently holding JER's Multiversal Games. After she healed, she attempted an escape, but was brought down by an antiparticle beam fired by ??? (malicious character).

??? (malicious character)
After killing Yesare, ??? (malicious character) became the Next In Line, this time undertaking an operation similar to Yesare's operation on Day 4 of the Multiversal Games. The difference, however, was that since the technology Yesare contained couldn't be so easily replicated by the scientists of ??? (malicious character), he was at the time only given the power to create antiparticles and manipulate them at will. As physics suggest, this can only allow practical use of antiparticles to consist of annihilating existing particles.
