@ParagonX You see i was thinking about that since mind reading and barriers against it do fall under electrical manipulation. At least on that wiki. So with their joint proclivities for crime and potential weird power interactions... I guess I just need to say I agree. Also should I put him in the characters section?
@Sam12435 I'm kinda working on something more of a fantastical idea of career criminals who pull of tons of difficult jobs then anything real. More like payday or shadow run than any real world crime organization.

@chukklehed If you can convince me of a significant Russian criminal presence in Atlanta then it would only make sense to add that to Alan's abilities list. assuming he even get's accepted.
I still need to find a picture I like and figure out the exact extent of his powers, electricity can do a but load of things apparently, but that's most of it.
Image:
Name: Alan Smith
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Religion: Non-practicing Catholic
Sexuality: Straight
Occupation: Officially he owns a small bookstore on the edge of the city.
Abilities:
- Leader and Strategist: Has been planning and leading heists and sometimes other criminal escapades on and off again since his early twenties.
- Agile: What got him noticed for grooming into his life of crime and constantly useful in his operations
- brawler and Gunman: No professional training in either, but he's been enough fistfights and used guns throughout his life. He's picked up on some of the finer details of each. That said he'd still call in a professional if he really need either on a job.
- Well Connected: He may only be coming back to his criminal roots recently after getting his powers, but he knows a lot of people to call on if he needs particular skill sets and most of them know and respect his abilities.
Faults: Alan doesn't trust anyone emotionally out of fear of abandonment and more than that he doesn't trust himself. He is always doubting his own thoughts and feelings, striving to push himself and and prove that he can do the things he thinks that he can do if only for the momentary validation of himself and his abilities.
Power: Electricity manipulation
Personality: You wouldn't be able to tell how cold, distant and hateful of the greater world Alan was by the way he runs his jobs. He get's to know all of his men, encourages them and shares dark humor with them. Still he never let's any of them get too close.
History: Born of middle class parents Alan didn't have much time to enjoy a normal life before his parents both died at the hands of a cop during a traffic stop. After that he and his two younger siblings spent most of their childhoods in an orphanage without really knowing what exactly happened to their parents and without much hope for the future. It was particularly bad for Alan who hated the way the orphanage was run and could only barely coexist with the staff. Regardless he stowed it away for the sake of his brother and sister. When he was a teenager he fell into a bad crowd and had his first run in with the police. Alan outran them and eluded them all night until he met the man who would become his master, an aging man who just so happened to be a master thief. He taught Alan everything he knew and before Alan was in college he was already participating in some fairly big heists. The money was, as Alan told himself, for his brother and sister to help them get on in life, but when they found out what Alan had done to get it, they dissociated with him only keeping his secret out of respect for their familial connection. So he threw himself at his work. Alan became notable enough to run his own crew and make his own jobs. One day though he stumbled upon the most beautiful woman he had ever seen by the name of Elizabeth. She came of old money and her father was determined to involve her heavily with his business partners and eventually marry her off like some medieval lord. They met in secret for a few years before Her father found out and and forbid there meeting ever again. Eli complied and turned Alan away again and again. Abandoned by everyone in his life Alan removed himself from the world for a while before coming back to the criminal scene with a vengeance. He went after big heist after big heist before once again leaving the scene, telling his associates only that there wasn't anything else left worthy of his talents.

Going to be a criminal somewhere between a thief and a shadowrunner type of deal, so I can go villain.

actually going to reserve lightning powers. More my style and easy enough to scale up as things go on. Hopefully I'll flesh out the actual character by the end of the day.
Its probably not worth talking about as ice powers are reserved, but I was thinking of a power set where you do fire and ice. Kind of. you would take heat from the surrounding area, air, objects... people and then store it in yourself to be released in heat/fire attacks later. that said i do have this distinct image in my head of using this to press a finger through a metal door like a lightsaber and cutting through it that way. Problem. While the fire would be dangerous the stealing all the heat in an area just kills everyone around the user and probably would make it to powerful/unwieldy for group scenarios.
Anyway off to think of something else as ice powers are still reserved.

Why not.
god that took me long enough.

I am assuming you would follow, but if you wouldn't let me know and we can work something out.

The tower shook and sent up smoke upon the landing of the agile Luna fighter much to the detriment of the spider who began to shoot wildly into the obscured area with machine gun fire. The pilots's eyes quickly darted this way and that across its mass trying to guess where his opponent would emerge from, overlooking the simple option of straight through the center where the now sword wielding mech charged forth stabbing with great force into the spider's front end. The blade made contact with already weakened armor from ealier pistol fire and punctured all the way to the hilt.
The blade had barely missed Harper inside the cockpit who after throwing his upper body to the other side desperately mashed on the controls to work. It was of no use however as the whirring of his machine slowed down and stopped, only now noticeable in its absence. "What a match!" the announcer called out to the crowd before declaring "Clarence Belle is the winner and is one step towards moving on to the next part of the tournament."
Garret smirked. "I don't think it much matters anymore who I thought was going to win now that its ended ore I could even say". the teen shrugged and started to walk past Nicolai. "Though if you meant between size and speed I think that their armaments can be a great equalizer." He said this thinking of the Fulmine cannon and its great destructive power. Armed with such a deadly weapon it would be nothing for such an agile mech like the Luna fighter to defeat even the most heavily armored mechanical frames of the current age. Though perhaps by the time that day came defense technology would catch up. "Remember" Garret continued. "A single plane can defeat an entire army if only equipped with a big enough bomb." God it sounded like Garret actually prefered small mechanical frames now when in fact he'd been piloting mostly middle of the road frames since he was ten.

Whilst fiddling with his device to schedule Brian later in the day Carth returned the formality. "It is nice to speak with you as well." With a wave of his hand the billionaire beckoned Brian. "Follow me." My car is parked out front. With that Carth reapplied his mask and lead the test pilot through the through throngs of people to the doors and an awaiting white Limo. A man in a black suite held the door open for both of them stoically and closed it after they were safely inside. Sitting down on one of the benches Carth dug through a compartment filled with ice and bottles for a particular drink. While he was still looking he glanced up to Brian "You are quite welcome to have a drink if you have anything in mind." The vehicle began to move just as Carth found a peculiar orange bottle among the and opened with a satisfied smirk behind his mask. "Anyway... Its going to be a while yet before we get where we're going so I'd like to ask you about yourself."
