Name: Kyle Stevens
Nickname/Alias:  The Glowing Archer
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Appearance: [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/dc/03/92/dc0392187cc92f6b8c0dac2e7684cb83.jpg[/img]
5'8", medium build, toned.  Caucasian with brown hair and hazel eyes that change color with his mood.  He glows slightly due to ingesting small quantities of radioactive materials.
Location: Southern Washington
Settlement:  Freetown: Founded by a group of Anarchists that lived in the area, anything is legal here as long as you don't hurt anyone.  Hurting someone includes, but isn't limited to, murder, assault, theft, and rape.  If you are wronged, simply contact a bounty hunter and they'll bring the person in for trial before an arbiter or jury, their choice, though serious crimes usually require a jury.  If you can prove that you were harmed, you get restitution and they pay all of the court costs.  If you can't, you each pay your own court costs.  If the case is judged frivolous, you pay them for having them abducted and held, and pay their court costs too.
Though just about any product or service can be had here, popular buildings are the tavern, the fight club, the brothel, the inn/restaurant, and the doctor, for after the others mess you up.  The headquarters for the Guardians is also there, and serves as jail and courthouse if one is needed.
Profession: Previously- mechanic in a local factory
Currently- Bounty hunter/salvager/mercenary Sergent for the Guardians, a group that serves as the protectors of many towns in the area.  They apprehend criminals, jail them, provided space for the trial, work as guards, perform missions for the locals and, when they don't have enough work, salvage for valuable materials.  The guardians prefer alien materials and tech, but will salvage anything worth hauling back if need be.
Skills: Archery and shooting, Parkour, electronics
Powers: Radiation Metabolism: Different forms of radiation are metabolized in slightly different ways, enhancing his body.  The more he absorbs, the more it enhances his body.
Photon based radiation: Heat affects him less than others, as he can absorb some photons, like IR radiation, Gamma rays, X-rays, and microwaves.  Only Gamma rays can be absorbed completely, though, and the higher the energy of the photon, the more energy it gives him.  Too much absorption leads to hyperactivity, as he can't use the energy fast enough.
Beta radiation: Beta particles increase the conductivity of his nervous system, leading to better reflexes and senses.  It also improves his brain, speeding up his thoughts.  As Beta radiation is just high energy electrons, he has a slight immunity to electrical attacks.  Too much absorption leads to bullet time, where his perceptions are greatly slowed, and at higher levels with cause his nervous system to become electrically charged, leading to taser-like effects.
Alpha Radiation: Alpha particles increase his strength and boost organ function. This includes a slight healing factor and a resistance to disease and toxins.  Too much absorption will lead to his muscles tearing themselves from his bones and will boost his metabolism so far that he experiences nutrient deficiencies, though he will recover with time, rest, and gamma radiation.
Neutron Radiation: Neutron radiation increases the strength of his skin and its resistance to damage.  Too much absorption will decrease the flexibility of his skin, restricting his movement.
Weaknesses:  If he goes for more than a few days without absorbing radiation, he grows lethargic, and needs to rest to recover.  To try and combat this, he consumes his favorite drink, whiskey with apple juice and radium dust.  It makes him a bit more clever and makes him a bit stronger and healthier than normal.
Weapons:  Long bow, 20x pointed arrows (normal arrows made of alien hull material), 8x shock arrows (can be recharged in 30 seconds by returning them to the quiver), 9mm pistol, 3x explosive bullets, 10x standard bullets (made of salvaged copper)
Armor/Clothing: Leather armor with alien hull alloy plates on the chest, back, arms, and legs
Equipment and Supplies: cell phone/Bluetooth earpiece (someone in town rigged a cell tower for the people in it), food bars, canteen, first aid kit.
Personality: He doesn't like people ordering him around, but understands the value of a chain of command in battle situations.  If left to his own devices, he would spend it tinkering with various gadgets he wants to build.  Reluctantly, he has to salvage or bounty hunt for a living.  Not that he minds helping people in need or finding things that others need, but it's just not exciting.
History: He was coming home from work one day when alarms started to sound.  He knew he had to hide, or the force of the blast and radiation from it would kill him.  He briefly considered hiding in a 1940s lead lined refrigerator, but realized that it would block very little of the radiation from the bombs, and would likely heat up enough to cook him.  Instead, he quickly drove out of town to an old, abandoned mine and went inside, going as deep as he could.  When the first bomb fell he was hit with enough stray neutron and gamma radiation do make him extremely hyperactive, and to make his skin so stiff that he couldn't move.  He laid in the mine for several days wide awake, with his mind racing, trying to understand what had happened to him, as he'd never had anything like this happen before.  The only thing that made sense was that he was a super, and that somehow his powers had protected him. He considered many possibilities for what his power could be, but wasn't sure until he was able to move again and test his theories by exposing himself to controlled amounts of radiation.
Eventually, he made his way south, salvaging what he could from irradiated areas that the few other people he saw wouldn't go near.  When he reached Freetown, at that point just a Walmart that was still mostly standing, he sold what he'd gathered and helped them build up their settlement.  He preferred it to the other settlements he'd com across because no one here was trying to make up rules and force people to follow them.  When a group of ex-cops, ex-soldiers, and scavengers, joined together to create the Guardians he joined them, figuring that he'd be salvaging anyway, and he could benefit from being a part of the group.
On one of these salvaging trips he found some badly damaged alien tech.  While the only functioning, intact thing that he could find was a small battery, he also salvaged some hull fragments and a few damaged capacitors which, one of the other salvagers learned the hard way when shooting at a stray dog, would explode when exposed to too much pressure, such as the force of a bullet impact.  He scraped the material out of the burned out capacitors and put in inside seven bullets. He was force to use four of these bullets, though, when an insane geneticist calling himself "Professor Paleo" attacked the settlement riding a clone T-rex, with a pack of [url=http://www.nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/life/dinosaurs-other-extinct-creatures/dino-directory/dilophosaurus.html]dilophosaurus[/url].
