Name:Guy Foster
Alias: Halitosiman
Superhero/Villain: Superhero
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Powers/Equipment: Halitosiman has the ability to unleash a cloud of his own foul smelling breath upon his unsuspecting enemies. Unfortunately, while his breath does smell pretty bad, it’s not bad enough to cause any real hindrance and anyone worth their salt can get over it. Also causes a gust when unleashed, but only strong enough to feel like a generic shove.
Weakness(es): -Air Fresheners: The bane of Halitosiman’s existence, air fresheners nullify the effects of his powers and allow neer-do-wells to continue without being mildly annoyed.
-Sturdy things: The pushing strength of his power is light enough already, he doesn’t need someone or something that can stand it’s ground making it look even weaker.
Appearance: Personality: Guy Foster is, at heart, a hero, or at least someone that wants to do the right thing. He would like nothing more than to sweep through the city defeating evil doers at every turn. However, he lacks the drive and agency of a real hero. Often he’s more concerned with just working odd jobs and making ends meet, and only leaps in to save the day if he happens upon a crime in progress…and if the villain isn’t too imposing.
But it’s the thought that counts, right? And Guy is sure thinking about doing the right thing. He just might not get around to it.
Other than his questionable heroics, Guy is a nice guy. He’s mostly meek and inoffensive and tries not to get on anyone’s bad side. He’ll usually stand up for the little guy, assuming he’s around to see it happen.
Backstory: Halitosiman’s origins are humble, hailing from a small house where he was raised an only child. Growing up, Guy’s diet included a variety of bizarre and nasty foods, which led him to frequently have exceptionally bad breath. This all came to a head when one day, after a particularly large feast, Guy let rip the mother of all burps, which knocked the plates off the table, sent his parents hurtling to the ground, and made the whole house stink for days. Guy realised he possessed a great power. He wondered what he could use it for. To annoy his parents? To pester people he didn’t like? To get rooms to himself when he felt like being alone?
The answer was none of these; he was to become a superhero! Becoming obsessed with the idea of saving lives and defeating bad guys, Guy Foster styled himself “Halitosiman” and prepared himself for the life of a hero. He ignored the cries of “You’ll never make a good hero with a dumb power like that” and “That name is just plain stupid” from his peers and family, and trained hard while also completing his studies. Eventually, he left for his own apartment, which would serve as his mighty fortress in his quest for virtue. Soon the city would know the name; Halitosiman!
Or not. He kind of needed the money to pay for the place, after all, so he got a nine to five job and started working. He’s still planning to get around to some heroing though! Maybe next week, when his schedule clears up…or if a crime happens right in front of him….yeah…
