Hi, I'll be applying with (if its not too late),
@KatherinWinter:
Name: Dustin Bloom
Age: 18
Power: Lightning Shard - Dustin can control electricity to an extent. He can manifest it in his hands in the form of visible ball lightning, and can release it. However, his control over it is not the greatest. Also, he has a limit to the amount of electricity he can store within him - if he expends all of it, he'll need to recharge using a power source or wait a while for his body's natural electricity and static to generate charge - this could take up to 3 days depending on how much he moves. This also renders him immune to electricity in that he cannot be damaged by it; if there were too much electricty, he'd overload and release the excess uncontrollably. Also, his electricity could be drained if someone could design a circuit that works both ways - this would result in loss of powers until he can charge again.
Bio: Dustin didn't believe in the rumours. He was also skeptic towards his friends' naive beliefs about God and the Devil, until he found the Lightning Shard. At first, he thought it would be dangerous to touch - it was jagged as a lightning bolt and seemed to overflow with energy. But the allure of it was so great he couldn't help himself. He reached forward and grasped it with him hand. And then it was gone. Maybe it had been a hallucination. The events of the next day would prove otherwise.
It is said that one shouldn't use a knife to get toast out of a toaster. Dustin did this anyway. The resultant charge flowing into his body at an uncontrolled rate caused an overload within minutes - he couldn't control the amount of energy flowing into him yet. The result was the release of a high energy electromagnetic field - it devastated everyone who came into contact with it. Everyone except Dustin. He had inadvertently killed his family. Dustin weeped for his family, and thankfully the investigators could not work out how they had died. Yet this would not bode well for Dustin's mental state - bearing the burden of accidentally killing him family.
Not wanting to endanger anyone else, he wanders the streets now, only using his powers to protect himself and staying away from electrical power sources - most of the time.
