Appearance:
Name: Kurt Gordons
Nickname: None (yet?)
Age 12-40: 26
Past: Kurt wasn't always treated very well as a kid. Some major "events" involving his parents and drugs usually isolated him from them, and as a result he often lived with an aunt who taught him to garden and grow plants. At first he was uninterested, but eventually he grew to love the potted plants he grew and cared for, which irritated his parents when they finally and sporadically chose to pay attention to him. It was too late. He liked his plants more. He ended up becoming a botanist, which shouldn't really be any surprise.
Personality: Has a sort of tough shell; aloof and not talkative. Very serious-looking, but actually soft as hell. Annoyingly particular about taking care of any plants in his possession and will keep checklists if he has too many to remember to water. Doesn't trust other people with his plants, even if he might trust them with his life, and if he isn't too shy to say anything, he is nearly guaranteed to geek out about plants. Are you sick of plants? You will be by the time you're done talking to Kurt. Even though he's reasonably big and muscly, he's somewhat of a gentle giant.
Fears: Small spaces and pitch-darkness
Power they applied for: Plant manipulation
