[WindsOfFate]

Jade Strange

Name: Jade Riley Strange

Alias: Heka

Gender: Male

Affiliation: M.L.A (Mutant Liberation Army)

Age: 25

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual

Powers: Magic: Jade can tap into the raw unhindered power of the universe. This arcane energy allows him to perform a variety of things. He wields it effortlessly, calling upon his inner mana and that of the world to bring about changes. He can fire bolts of devastating energy, teleport groups of people or himself vast distances, create force fields, and levitate. By speaking spells, or harnessing incantations through movement, Jade can call upon the assistance of deities offensively or defensively.

Jade can also empower others using mystic markings. By placing a symbol onto the skin of the target, he can increase their power as long as he is conscious. The symbol usually burns into the flesh of the target and causes great pain, but the increase in power is two times the normal strength. He canNOT perform this on himself and must be within 40 feet of the target constantly for the boost to work. He can only increase two targets power at one time, any more than that and he could die from the strain.

He must be careful when performing spells and incantations as there is always a cost when calling upon a supreme force. Performing high-level spells drains his inner mana, which could force him into unconsciousness and cause physical damage. Calling upon the assistance of powerful beings normally requires a blood oath or allegiance of some sort.

Skills:
-Jade knows how to defend himself.
-He knows how to read and write various languages due to studying ancient spellbooks.
-Jade can sing, though he chooses not to in front of others.
-He’s an avid reader and loves researching.
-He loves nature, taking long walks through the remaining forests whenever he gets a chance.
-He is a great archer, and his accuracy is precise.

Personality: Jade may seem cold and condescending, but he means well. It is his way of not getting close to anyone. He has seen so much death in his life. As such, he tends to stay away from building any type of friendship/relationship, not wanting to garner any feelings for them. He is stern and can be slightly stubborn. He is able to keep his emotions in check even in the face of adversity. He can wear a blank expression, thus surprising him usually backfires. He believes in liberation, he believes in freedom.

Relationships? Jade tends to shy away from them. He has actually never dated anyone. He fears that love blinds the senses and causes people to act strangely. Perhaps he has never met the one to bring him into that mindset, but for now, he puts his work first.

Biography: Jade is the descendant of Doctor Stephen Strange. He grew up with knowledge of Doctor Strange, though his parents seemed to want to protect him from that part of their lives. Jade grew up having to learn what his developing powers meant. Although his parents tried to shield it from him, Jade found every excuse to learn magic and develop his power.

Aside from living as normal a life as he could, given the circumstances, Jade grew anxious. He wanted to learn, he wanted to know more about his lineage and he dove deeper into the world of magic. Eventually, he was able to contact Doctor Strange who trained him fully. He could not deny that Jade had an aptitude for wielding arcane energy. He seemed in tune with the magical energy that flowed around him. Doctor Strange was indeed happy to know of their kinship and had no issue training him in the ways of sorcery. Throughout his teens, he was taught and Doctor Strange eventually finished his teachings on his 18th birthday.

Though he still seeks knowledge, Doctor Strange returned to his duties fully, leaving Jade to further his learning in different ways. Jade took on the name Heka, a name that means a lot to him. It translates to magic in Egyptian. Jade’s life wasn’t all roses and sunshine. He did not go unnoticed by the sentinel services, and after an attack on his home, he was forced to leave. He joined the Brotherhood because he realizes that their goals were similar to his own. Eventually, he was approached by Corona who requested his assistance. He gladly accepted and joined the M.L.A.

Equipment: Jade's enchanted clothing is sentient and resistant to the elements and bullets. His garbs can extend, retract, harden, soften, and sharpen to the point that they can cut through stone and parry other weapons. Aside from his enchanted clothes, he has a beautiful butterfly staff. The staff is about six feet in length and the tip has a beautiful sapphire stone that levitates above the end of the staff while spectral butterfly wings extend on either side of the sapphire gem.

Other: Jade's magic takes the form of butterflies, beautiful rainbow-hued butterflies.

Kaze

Name: Kaze

Alias: Bahamut

Gender: Male

Age: N/A

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Powers: Dragon's Blood

• Armored Body: The scales and plates lining his body, while flexible, are as hard as steel. The muscle underneath is just as hard making it hard for normal people and weaker mutants to actually physically harm him.
• Bestial Strength: Even before he changed he was a strong being. His powers enhanced his strength multiple times over, giving him the ability to throw vehicles and plow through concrete walls.
• Animal Sense: Like any animal he has an exceptional sense of smell and hearing. His touch and taste however have been reduced while his sight is largely unchanged.
• Reptilian Healing: Like most reptiles and amphibians his healing is enhanced compared to your typical person. A months worth of healing done in a week, a weeks worth in a couple days, a days worth in minutes. He can still be killed from sustained damage but it's much harder.
• Corrosive Blood: His blood is oddly corrosive. Like a mild acid. He figured his powers took after dungeons and dragons, what with the black ones being acidic based. It burns but it's not going to melt you alive unless you fill a tub and jump in.
• Permanent: Once he changed he never could get back to his human form. Much like Beast from the X-Men, except he didn't science himself that way. It's just how he is and now it's impossible to hide in plain sight.
• Heavy Body: He's roughly a ton, two thousand pounds, which means unless he's dropped from high up he's incapable of flight. Merely power jumps and gliding.

Skills:

• Melee Combat Expert: He's at home up front and personal. Give him a weapon, literally any melee weapon, and he'll put it to good use. Smashing skulls, walls, vehicles, or using it as a shield.
• Hand to Hand: He's never truly unarmed, given his claws and tail, so he learned the best way to utilize them. He's exceptional in hand to hand combat, his animalistic movements making it hard for others to predict his next attack.
• Smith: He enjoys making weapons and he's damn good at it. He's dabbled in armor but the most he can really do are simple things like breastplates and shields.
• Demolitions: He knows where and how to hit a building to get it to come tumbling down. The joys of creating is you can figure out how to destroy much easier.

Personality: Kaze is very gruff when first met with. He has a very no nonsense attitude most of the time and has little to no problems speaking his mind. He'd also be considered insane considering his love for charging face first into combat. Although if he considers you a friend or ally he'll rip apart everything in his way to help if it's in his power to do so. Like dragons of lore he's incredibly possessive and will get murderous if you take anything deemed his. This includes people.

Biography:
Kaze honestly doesn't remember much of his past. Mostly by choice since nothing important really happened. He had been human, and then he had changed. Unlike other mutants he had never been able to hide in plain sight, so he hid out in the wilderness. During that time he had learned what he could about his own capabilities and promptly murdered any normal human that discovered him. The damage relatable to bears. So it was rarely investigated.

Well you could only mess around in nature for so long before you get bored. So he snagged one of those fancy new phones people always went on about. He wasn't stupid he just chose to live in the woods. During his little research time he found out how to make basic forges and how to make medieval arms and armor. Which he went about doing by stealing the stuff needed in the night. Specifically from scrapyards because the dogs cowered from him instead of trying to actually defend the property.

Of course stealing from the military, even decommissioned gear, was a bad move. He was finally discovered, apprehended, and imprisoned. Which was a bit of a bitch even with their sentinels given that he could chuck his hammer like a pro and knew the forest like the back of his hand. When he was imprisoned it was a hassle to keep him there too, he had numerous escape attempts under his belt. So now he is wrapped up in metal bands, muzzled, and chained to the point he can't even flex a muscle. He's forced to eat through a straw since no one really dares to try to unmuzzle him just in case he gets violent again.

Equipment:

• God Striker: A massive maul made of steel he made. It's unsurprisingly in the shape of a fist and one has to be of similar strength and height to not go flying with each swing.
• Ragnarok: An axe built much like his maul. Huge and designed to be wielded by him or those of similar strength and size. It's actually made from the plate off of a tank.
• Aegis: A shield made from a decommissioned tank. Steel and titanium roughly three inches thick, wide and tall enough even he can be fully behind it.

Other: Like reptiles he hates the cold. It'll either make him hibernate or just flat kill him if it's cold enough. He's also very tall, standing at almost nine feet in height.

Corona

Kyle Summers / Corona

Powers: Plasma generation and manipulation: He can create a field of plasma around himself, then focus it to shield against energy or physical attacks (works better against energy), act as a torch to cut through obstacles, or form a ball which can be launched as a plasma projectile comparable in power to a light tank.

Skills: His Aunt and Uncle insisted that he finish high school, and he found he had an interest in science, especially concerning plasma. Dr. McCoy taught him about technology so that he could build devices to control plasma, and together they built a fusion reactor. He was also trained to fight as one of the Xmen, though he never joined them before Sentinel Services declared them a terrorist organization and hunted them down.

Personality: He doesn't trust Normies until they've proven themselves a friend of mutants. While he will help out a fellow mutant in need, he believes that people should fight their own battles if they can. He also believes that everyone should take responsibility for their own actions, and won't protect you from your own stupidity.

Biography: He never knew his biological father, Alex Summers. His mom didn't really deal with Alex much after she got pregnant, and he died when Kyle was three. For the next three years she tried to raise him on her own, but after a string of abusive boyfriends, one of which found out Kyle was a mutant when he started glowing one night and beat him for it, Kyle was taken away by social services and given to his Uncle and Aunt to raise. They were mutants, after all, and DFCS thought he should be with his own kind.
He grew up at the school, hearing more and more stories as time went one about how Humans were treating Mutants worse and worse. When he grew up, however, he left the school and tried to go to college, but after one too many anti-mutant racists attacked him and he almost burnt down the dorm rooms, he was kicked out of college, barely avoiding Arson charges. He returned home to find that a month earlier Sentinel Services had taken out the "terrorist organization" that was "using it as a base, recruitment, indoctrination, and training facility."
He decided that if they were going to treat even friendly mutants like the Xmen as terrorists, he was going to give them terrorists to fight. He used an escape tunnel to get into Dr. McCoy's hidden lab and build himself a suit which would focus his plasma aura into a nearly invisible force field and started the Mutant Liberation Army, returning to the mansion a month later to remove anything of value that the MLA might need. His group began fighting back against the SS Oppressors.

Equipment: shield suit (can make one based on your powers if you generate a compatible energy type), plasma beam rifle (converts his plasma cutter into a beam for long range, but fairly weak, attacks), speaker collar (for giving speeches), Smart phone (unregistered)

[Goliah]

Modlen

Name: Modlen Christensen, "Moddy" for short.

Alias: None yet, she's working on it.

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Parents: Richard Christensen (a human male), mother unknown.

Powers and abilities:

Haemopotent Regeneration - Modlen can heal and regenerate using the blood of others. The amount of blood decides the speed of healing.

Disease Immunity/Carrier - A necessary secondary mutation involving Modlen's passive regeneration is immunity to all forms of disease, a useful immunity given the amount of diseases she would come into contact with. This does make her a carrier however for all kinds of diseases, especially those spread through blood.

Acrobatic - Moddy is quite a skilled acrobat. While not on the same level as someone like Nightcrawler, she has an incredible sense of balance and isn't easily disorientated.

Teleporation - Modlen can teleport to any location within her line of sight in a puff of red, bloody mist that smells strongly of iron. She can teleport over longer distances if she can see live footage of the location she wants to teleport to. Right now she can only teleport people or objects up to 160lbs in weight. Anything above that and... parts get left behind.

Personality: Modlen is quite introverted and distrustful. When around others she tends to become quite anxious, especially because of her appearance but also because she's afraid to speak out of fear of saying something 'wrong'. Her anxiety and nervousness tends to manifest as excitement, hyperactivity and uncertainty followed by spells of wallowing in self-doubt, criticism and paranoia over what people think of her.

Appearance:



Modlen stands at 5'11 and weighs roughly 140lbs. Her ears are pointed, her skin is stone-grey as are her eyes and she suffers from an very obvious case of pupula duplex. Her raven hair reaches the small of her back and, curiously enough, she seems to have dark grey freckles dot her nose and shoulders. She also sports a prehensile tail similar in appearance to Nightcrawler's. All of this is almost certainly due to her mother, since she bears little resemblance to her human father.

While she is quite self-conscious about her demonic appearance, she does still embrace it to a degree and it has helped shape her personality and likes. She listens to metal, industrial and heavier genres of music, but doesn't limit herself to those genres. She also typically wears a combination of black, green, red and purple as well as various heavy metal band shirts.

Moddy typically wears tabi, mostly because she grew up not wearing shoes very often and they're the only footwear that still allows her to feel the ground and feel sure of her footing, otherwise she is barefoot as often as possible. She also tends to wear cargo pants, largely because pants are easier to modify so she can free her tail. If she is wearing a dress or a skirt, however, she'll always be wearing a pair of tights underneath.

Equipment: Currently, the prison uniform on her back

Bio:

From the outside, Modlen came from a seemingly normal home. Her father had a successful job in IT and was well respected by his coworkers. As well as pitied. His wife had left him after Modlen was born, mostly due to the obviously mutant appearance of their daughter, leaving Modlen's father to raise her on his own. There was obvious distrust and bullying throughout much of Modlen's childhood, but the worst came from her father.
There was no denying that Modlen's appearance was somewhat demonic, especially with her grey skin and pointed tail, and her father was quickly taken in by a local church, becoming a born again believer, devout to a fault. His fellow church goers saw him as a pious man trying to do his best with an unclean child left behind by some harlot. Many would even go so far as to insinuate that Modlen was the result of some unholy coupling and that she was not really her fathers daughter. Her father was no better. He controlled much of her life at home. What she could wear, listen to and watch. Anything that was deemed to be "unholy" behaviour was dealt with harshly. Sometimes physically. Sometimes worse.

It was no surprise then when Modlen ran away when her powers manifested, first when the blood of the steak she placed on her eye healed her bruises and next when first teleported. The fear of her fathers reaction was too much and the knowledge that she could be healed with blood made her feel even less human.

It took less than a few days of being cold and hungry on the streets until Modlen started using her abilities to feed and clothe herself. First she started small, teleporting out of stores while holding food and other things. Eventually she upgraded to teleporting into electronics stores and stealing devices, selling them on the street. It was only a matter of time until the police caught on though. All it took was one officer hiding in the shadows with a taster and she was caught.

Her father wanted nothing to do with her at that point, which she had no problem with, and she was promptly locked away. After the first few times working through the pain of the collar to try to escape, she was soon placed in solitary confinement, where she has been ever since.

Sam Smith

Name: Sammie (Sam) Smith

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Relationship: Single

Alignment: Neutral Good

Abilities: Telepathy- Sam is able to communicate with others through forms of writing.
Reality Warping/Animation- He is also able to make creations out of nothing from also writing it down

Weaknesses: -Although Sam has great writing abilities, he isn't good with pressure and that minimizes his imagination to create things.
-He is't able to help or hurt himself in any way and can only make outside forces
-He lacks physical strength

Strengths: -He is able to control anything he makes, without it getting out of hand
-He can also communicate with anyone he focuses on through his writing


Appearance: Sammie has short, fluffy, light brown hair that is extremely messy and is styled into into thick spikes, along with his bangs. He has pale skin that looks as if it has never seen the light of day and wide, purple eyes. He wears contacts which is why his eyes are purple but he also wears thick framed, black, very large and circular glasses. He likes to think that wearing both contacts and glasses can help him see in the dark. He is very short, only at a whopping 4'8, which makes him very small compared to others, but he is average in body size.
For clothing, Sam usually wears a grey beanie and a jean jacket that has way too many pockets for no reason. He also wears a bright yellow scarf that has white, different sized polka dots scattered across it. He also wears a pair of brown cargo shorts and slipper-like shoes with white ankle socks. He carries around a dark green journal and a fancy black pen with him at all times. He carries them in a secret pouch inside of his jean jacket

Personality: Sammie is a usually talkative and outgoing person and it can sometimes be said that he is a bit hyperactive. He enjoys being around people, but for mainly one specific reason. As an inspiring journalist, Sam loves to take notes about almost anything he sees or hears, whether that be a rumor or a fact, he'll write it down. Most times, he'll be attracted to a crowd, hoping for a good story he can publish. He sometimes gets paranoid that other journalists or reporters are around, trying to get the scoop out of him, so sometimes Sam will pause mid sentence and look around before continuing. He has excellent creative writing abilities and he enjoys writing short stories of other people and will read aloud his writing very dramatically. He hopes that one day, his writing will be noticed by a professional company or editor and his career will take a great turn. But for now, he waits.

Weapon(s): His journal and his pen can technically be weapons

Backstory: After his dad left him at a young age, Sammie began collecting bits and pieces of information from others. He wasn't close to his mom at all and he wasn't able to tell her how he felt about things, so that distanced him from her even more. His mom tried to connect with him sometimes, but Sam would get very quiet and give her one word answers like "yes" or "no". With the information he would gather from others, he would make up stories and act them out with the other kids at his school. Not growing up with his dad made him very lonely and isolated and he often blamed his mistakes on his mom, always bringing up how his dad left because he believed she wasn't good enough.
One afternoon, when he was eight, he noticed that there were reporters hanging around a crime scene that had just taken place. Sammie tried to weave his way through the crowd, but one of the reporters stopped him claiming that he was too young. The reporter and Sam ended up talking together and Sam was giving his first journal notebook. Coming straight home, he began his work as a journalist, inspired by the reporter. He started writing his thoughts and feelings out in it. His mom was very confused as to why she heard her son's voice in her head very clearly. They both later discovered as to how Sam could talk to others through writing and also create things out of nowhere.
As he got older, his powers grew and so did his mind. He started "studying" people, wanting to jump start his career. He soon began writing paper after paper of these people and he published them. They got many responses, but not good ones. He had exposed many powerful companies, whom of which were not pleased to see this fourteen year old boy snooping around in their business. Although he had exposed them for cheating people and other bad stuff, charges were pressed against him and he was filed as dangerous for his talents, arresting for "hacking" and "exposure". He was very confused, as he thought he was helping the public, not hurting it.

Other: He is the type of person you'd meet at a coffee shop

Toro Warnock

Portrait and Theme Song

Matter of Time! by TRÏBE
https://youtu.be/8aCSo4aG9A4

Name: Toro Warnock

Alias: Jolt

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Orientation: Heterosexual

Power: Kinetic Conversion

Ability 1 — Kinetic Absorption: Toro can absorb Kinetic energy from the world around him, either in his immediate area up to 20 yards around him or specific things up to 40 yards from him. This energy can remain stored for up to 12 hours.

Weaknesses: He has to be able to concentrate on gathering and storing said energy before its use. Whatever it maybe he is drawing from will eventually stop, slow down, or will hit/land without much force. Toro can become tired, fatigued, and exhausted, however, he no longer sleeps but can still be knocked out or rendered unconscious by other means. The absorption also makes his eyes glow orange and if the amount of energy is great enough will make parts of his skin glow orange as well.

Ability 2 — Energy Discharge: He can discharge the energy he gathers by electrical means to his surroundings, either by direct touch, a bolt of electricity, or a pulse of energy in the form of an electromagnetic pulse.

Weaknesses: Electricity is the only form of energy he can discharge the energy with, other than when he shares the energy. Besides helping the electricity find its target he does not have very much control over it. Aside from the electricity he generates he is not immune to damage from electrical attacks.

Ability 3 — Energy Sharing: The energy he collects and stores within him can be shared by touch to other people and sometimes objects, (Batteries, generators, electrical devices, Etc.) the more surface area he shares with the person the faster he can transfer energy to that person or thing.

Weaknesses: if he is not paying attention or the person he is giving the energy to takes more than he has to give, he can very easily pass out or become light-headed with headaches. As an unintended result of multiple recharges to the same person in a short amount of time, some of his emotions can transfer over as well but tends to be subtle.

Personality: Toro is kind in his own way, he tries to help other when he can regardless of them being human or not. Unless they are trying to kill / harm him or his friends he will normally go out of his way to assist the needs of others. He can be quiet at times and can be rather excited when holding a charge. Anger doesn’t come easy to him, he can get annoyed if someone bothers him while he meditates or if he is working on something. However, harming someone he deems a friend is a good way to piss him off, at which point he will do whatever he can to stop the threat to his friend.

He does try to reach out to others even if they are being mean or quiet, and enjoys helping them with their ability’s. He really doesn’t mind that some people only need him for his ability or when it’s convenient for them to be his friend. Even through all this he still tries to build relationships with other people, deep down hoping for somebody to love.

Physical Description: Toro is a tall strong young man standing 6’5” and weighing 215 Lbs. He is quite big for his age. His orange hair falls behind his ears and his eyes are also an orange color. He has many markings across his skin that look like tattoos, these markings glow orange when he is storing energy. The more energy that is stored the brighter he is. He does have a few surgical scars across his body from experiments and tends to smell like copper or iron for reasons he does not know.

Equipment: He normally wears black rubber gloves with wiring running through it to aid him when he needs to aim the electric discharge. But other than that likes forest camo cargo pants, and zip up sweaters or jackets with hiking boots.

Biography: Toro was born in a small town to two normal parents, the town was located in Oregon and is most notable feature was the surrounding wind farms. For the most part Toro had a rather normal child hood, only sometimes would he be called out on his abnormal birthmarks. His parents were kind and caring his father was especially protective of his son even after finding out he was a mutant.

Toro was 12 when he had his first major incident, with his father’s help he had found someone to help teach Toro how to use and control his ability’s. However, none of them truly understood what he was draining power from until they went for a tour on one of the hydroelectric dams near his home. When they got to a part of the dam near the turbines alarms began to sound and warnings of turbine failures echoed through the halls.

The tour guide told them they had to leave but as the lights flickered they all began to stare at the orange glow in the back. Toro looked at them with a shrug and a worried look, the marks on his skin and his eyes were glowing. Then as alarms sounded in the back ground orange sparks began to jump from him and onto other objects. He could feel it growing inside him, a force that wanted to escape and with one bright flash of blue and orange everything went dark. The electromagnetic pulse he released wiped out all electronic devises in a two-mile radius. Resulting in the accidental deaths of 35 people.

He doesn’t know how his father got him out of there or how he explained it to his mother, but when he woke up they were driving in their car and heading south. When he asked what was going on, his father told him they were running from Sentinel Services that wanted to take him away. Toro and his family headed south for the border but were ambushed outside of L.A. during the night. His father and mother fought back firing at the SS men who ultimately killed them. He tried to run as far and as fast as he could but was caught and thrown in confinement as a prisoner.

For the next four years he was kept in a small room by himself, his only company being doctors and scientist who conducted experiments on him. They made a lot of progress too, better batteries and power storage systems. Sometimes the warden would authorize the same failed experiments because he felt like it, just one more thing to add to his torment. Silently he promised himself he would do as much damage as he could to the Sentinel Services even if it killed him and in the process try to save as many human and mutant lives as he could. If he ever got out.

Cain R. Albert

Costumed Apperance

Cain / Protiv

Age

19

Male

Asexual

Neutral Evil

Personality

Many would describe Cain as ambitious, and others would describe him as tactical, some would even say he was sadistic; and they'd all be right, one way or the other. Cain intendeds to overthrow the current American government, and replace it by one lead solely by mutants. A system that favors the strong, and prioritizes the future; one that respects the course of evolution and places those at the pinnacle of Earth's evolution in power. To meet that goal Cain has become cunning and ruthless, and has been nicknamed "The Exterminator" for his aptitude at eliminating masses of lesser beings or cockroaches as he's been heard to call them.

However Cain is incredibly emphatic with other Mutants, and will avidly defend them regardless of their familiarity or even possible hostility. He is nothing if not devoted to the betterment of his people, and his altruism among fellow mutants is apparent in nearly everything he does, grotesque as that may be.

Biography

Cain was born and raised in a small town in Washington minutes away from the border to Canada during an enormous opiate epidemic. Given the rampant use of fairly lethal narcotics it wasn't surprising that Cain grew up without a mother after she passed away from Oxymorphone overdose when he was three. It wasn't long until his father was a regular user, and as a result Cain developed in a fairly isolated manner. His father was always nodding from a needle, so Cain was often left to his own devices, reading or playing with toys he quickly grew bored of.

As he grew older, Cain found more and more solace in his literature, and he loved nothing more than reading the terrifying tales of trench warfare and the lethal gases used to try and pick away at enemy defenses; or perhaps the tales of Old Gods so great that humanity was nothing but a shadow in their dreams. This love of reading took him far in a poor school-system, and he was regularly top of his class.

After discovering his powers in the forests one day, Cain began to progressively notice the horrible traits of humanity. The repulsive behavior of his classmates and the deceptive nature of his father began to drive a wedge between himself and the world, and one day, that wedge separated the two entirely. At the age of seventeen, nearing the end of his Junior year, Cain came home to find his indebted father's dealer, making a visit to collect long-overdue payments. As Cain entered his home, he could see the familiar stranger beating his limp and intoxicated father into a pulp, and Cain snapped.

The Washington Incident had made national headlines, a freak disaster in which somehow almost 1,300 people were exposed to lethal levels of Chlorine, in addition to the quarantine of an entire city. Soon after, Cain had found himself among the ranks of the MLA.

Appearance

Cain stands at 5'11 and 175-ish pounds, he's in fair shape, but is not particularly muscular. His hair is a strange silver color, which compliments his steely gray eyes and fair skin. He wears the same outfit nearly exclusively, unless he is wearing his Protiv outfit, to avoid detection. His standard attire includes a pair of black slim-fitting jeans with conventional converse all-stars, high-tops. His torso features a simple graphic t-shirt with a hoodie over top of it, and finally, he wears a black bandanna and scarf over his nose, mouth, and neck, which displays the lower half of a head's skeletal features.

Powers

Gas Manipulation:
Users can create, shape and manipulate anything that is gaseous, a phase of matter characterized by relatively low density, high fluidity/no definite shape, and lack of rigidity. Gas is very compressible but tends to expand indefinitely, and it fills any container. A small change in temperature or pressure produces a substantial change in its volume.

Poison Immunity:
The user is immune to all forms of poisons/toxins/venom.

Skills

Aside from his powers and general intellect, Cain's skills are limited. He does however display capability in stealth, and can pick-locks, hot-wire cars, and do other things of that nature. In addition to his natural inclination towards stealth, Cain has above average stamina and endurance, and can move quite quickly.
