Name: Eric Masters Age: 25 Gender: Male Skills: Runner's Endurance, Firearms Training and Marksmanship, CQC (Close Quarters Combat), CLS (Combat Life Saver), Basic Mechanics skills and Leadership training. Power: Fire Manipulation What gave you your power?: Eric suffers from PTSD from his time in the military. The day before his power awakened Eric was having a bad day as his PTSD was triggering more than usual. He was seeing fire everywhere and just wanted it gone, he wanted to make it go away and desired nothing more than to get away from it. That night he was racked with the same nightmare that has plagued him since he returned home from Afghanistan. Personality: On the outside Eric is an easy going guy who likes to smile and have fun. Everyone around him sees him as the nice guy who's always laughing and always willing to offer a helping hand. On the inside though he is haunted by what he has seen, and the mistakes he has made in his life. Bio: Eric was an average student in High School, never doing anything remarkable, but always able to make passing grades. He joined the Army right out of school where he showed a quick mind and a knack for leadership. His first Duty Station was Graphenwhoer Germany and soon after he was deployed to Afghanistan. This is where he witnessed an event that would change his life forever. It was five months into his deployment where he witnessed civilians being dragged out of a truck and burned alive by Taliban forces. Their reason? Because the civilians were bringing supplies to Eric's unit. Unable to help Eric screamed at his superiors to do something, they refused, so he was left screaming with those innocent people until they could scream no more. Now Eric fights nightmares and flashbacks of that day almost on a daily basis. He fears fire, and thus fears his power, powerful as it is. When the government came for him and others like him he almost went with them. What stopped him was seeing how they dragged a little girl away from her family. This caused Eric's power to come forth to defend the girl, much to his own living horror. He had become the thing he feared the most. Though he fights to defend those like him now, he does so without the use of his power, less his own flames consume him.
