Name: Nate Allen
Alias: Allotrope
Hero/Villain: Hero
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance: A young man with brown eyes and short curly brown hair. His face is slightly pudgy, and his nose is small and wide. Nate is shorter than average, and stocky though fit. For civilian clothes, he likes to wear blue jeans and and crisp off-brand polo shirt. His superhero costume is simple due to his lack of resources, consisting mostly of a leather jacket worn over a hoodie and a pair of black jeans. To conceal his identity, he wears a paintball mask under his hood. Adding a personal touch, Nate wears a patch with his logo, a giant A, on the back of his jacket, and uses knee pads that also bear his logo.
Personality: Not very serious, always looking for glory. He is not very disciplined, and does not follow the rules strictly, but never does anything completely amoral. Often makes jokes, and has a laid-back attitude. Though he tries to project the aura of the cool guy who isn't bothered by anything, he is actually compassionate and willing to do the right thing when necessary.
Powers: Self-Transmutation: Can take on the properties of any solid or liquid he touches a sample of. For example, touching steel would make him stronger and more durable, but also slower due to the increases density, while touching sand would make him amorphous and able to fit into small spaces. When in loose forms, he will revert to his normal self if he is spread too thin or a significant chunk is separated from himself.
Equipment: Inside his jacket he keeps samples of a few commonly available but useful substances, like aluminum, water, and lead. He has not yet been able to acquire samples of any exotic materials. For transportation, he drives a beat-up hatchback that he purchased from a shady used car dealership.
Skills/Special Abilities: He has a lot of experience in street fights, he is good at unarmed combat although his fighting style is unpolished. Nate's years as a con man and small time crook have given him a lot of practice at fast talking and negotiating.
Background: Nate came from a bad neighborhood and a broken home, there was no on in his life that really acted as a positive role model. He got in with a bad crowd in school, and dropped out before graduating. He tried to work legitimate jobs for a while, but could not live off of the meager pay, leading him to turn to crime. Nate got involved with petty schemes, like working for unlicensed bookies or selling untaxed cigarettes. He always stayed away from more serious areas like drugs and gangs, partly out of fear and partly out of his integrity. Although it didn't bring in much money, it was enough for him to get by.
One day, a friend asked Nate for help in robbing an abandoned laboratory. Nate was understandably nervous, but the risk was small enough and the pay was high enough to convince him to take part. While snooping around inside the building, Nate came across a chemical lab, and rummaged through the remaining vials, and accidentally spilled a few on himself. At first, he felt nothing, but then he touched the wall and felt his skin turn into the same kind of brick it was made of. While he was still trying to process what had happened, Nate heard police sirens, and ran home without meeting up with his friend. Over the next few days, Nate experimented with his power more, learning his capabilities and limits. Thanks to his powers, he finally had a way to escape his life of poverty and petty crime. Nate created a rudimentary costume and gathered up some useful supplies, becoming the hero known as Allotrope.
Other: Doesn't have a MeChip, can't afford one and doesn't want to be tracked.
