Birthplace: Somewhere down in Texas
Personality: He has been known to be the life of the party, but also likes his privacy and has been known to sit around by himself while he appears to stare off into space. He can get hotheaded and make bad descisions because of it. He’s easy going most of the time and will do a favor if you ask for one. He’s usually quiet until he gets to know you and maybe even after that. Does not judge people for the mistakes they have made in the past as long as they try to correct their ways. If you cross him once he will usually turn the other cheek, but let it be known that if you cross him twice you won’t cross him a third time. He can be stubborn sometimes but if you’re right he’ll eventually see it your way, even if he doesn’t admit it. The easiest way to get him to do something is to say that he can’t do it. Usually has some witty comment to say.

Description of ability(ies): His mutation causes him to sprout three pairs of angelic wings from his back. So he can “sprout” wings and make them “disappear”. He can also create and control fire, through this he can but is not limited to enflaming objects and creating weapons made of fire and other minor things. The fire manipulation is still active when he is not in his “angelic” form but is much more potent when he is.

Cons (weaknesses) of ability(ies): He has only been able achieve his “angelic” form when he is under emotional stress so far, but in time he will be able to control it at will. It also causes him extreme pain. But the pain becomes less each time he transforms, if not by much. As for the enflaming objects he is only able to do that if he is touching the object and it would take sustained touching to keep the object aflame by itself unless it is flammable. As for fire weapons it’s the same thing unless he keeps on touching the weapon, the fire in the weapon will disperse. So he could create a fire sword and fight someone with it but he cannot create a fire spear and hurl it at someone without it dispersing when it leaves his hand, as of right now. Since most of the time he utilizes the energy of his body to produce the fire, he needs to absorb energy back, which most conveniently the sun provides in the forms of light and heat. To recharge his batteries so to speak he needs to spend at least 2 hours in the sun almost daily. He can go every other day but it is better for him to be in the sun everyday. For some strange reason he never seems to get sunburned either.

Fighting style (if any): He has no particular fighting style, but to him the shortest distance between two points is a straight line so he will usually attack head on and will try to overpower his opponent. He is also partial to fighting with a fire sword but can and will use his bare hands.

History of your character: Nathan Garret was born in a small town in Texas and as usual when you’re born in Texas you play football. Nathan first started football when he was 12 and he began to have pain in between his shoulder blades. It just never seemed to go away. As all young men do, he ignored the pain and just accepted as a part of who he was. One day when he was thinking about it he decided it was as if something was missing between his shoulder blades. But he never thought about it much. When it came to football Nathan was in short, a badass. He could run, break tackles, and deliver a blow when it came to defense. If he could not run past you he would run through you. When he played defense you could tell when he hit someone by the sound of the hit and the cry of pain that came along after the hit from the injured. His coach asked him to sit out of practice because he was hurting too many of his teammates. That was pretty much his life, playing every game and spending time with a beautiful redhead girl named Christine.
This all came to a crashing end soon enough.
One night he got a call from local law enforcement telling him that his parents and twin brother, Tanner, had been in a car collision. He parents had died instantly but his brother had miraculously only received minor injuries. Nathan was in shock. All he could think of was that it wasn’t supposed to happen this way. His disbelief was so great he couldn’t visit Tanner until a few days later. When he met Tanner he put on a strong face with a smile and told him that everything was going to be all right. He held that face until he finally pulled up in his driveway. He could not take it anymore. For the first time in his life the pain was too much. He leapt out of his car and ran a short distance away. When he stopped he fell to his knees and released everything in a deafening roar. But that was only the beginning.
An unbearable pain began to travel all throughout his back. He fell flat on his face due to the immensity of it. He woke up what seemed hours later but in fact only a few moments had passed. He wakes to realize that he has grown three pairs of angelic wings from his back. He decides that the only person he could talk to about this would be Christine. Christine’s father discovers him and because of her pleading he turns himself in to the police. He is then sent to a concentration camp which is where his story only begins…

Sample RP: Luckily it was near dark when his mutation occurred or otherwise people would have seen what appeared to be a very large bird trembling while in flight. He reached her house after dark and met her. He called her on his cell phone to let her know to meet him at her back door. He stands there waiting just outside the light from the porch light. She opens and calmly shuts the door behind her and calls out his name questioningly
“Nathan?”
“I’m here.”
He moves so that she can hear him and know that he is there. She finally spots his silhouette and runs to meet him but immediately stops when he doesn’t do the same.
Even now when he is so emotionally destroyed he cannot but help but marvel at her beauty. The way she walked it almost appeared that gravity did not affect her with her gliding stride. Her curly, red hair seemed to bounce with such energy it was as if a breeze was bound to her just for the purpose of that fire to stay in motion. Like an inferno consuming a forest long dead, that fire burned. Those blue eyes seemed a vast ocean that a man could drown in and not care. Yet they held a quality that if they rested too long on a singular spot that a hole would be forever burned there. She always smelled faintly of roses, ones that had just bloomed after the icy grip of winter had been released.
“What’s wrong?” she asked.
Hesitantly he steps into the light. He hears her gasp immediately and it’s followed by ear-splitting scream.
Her father rushes out to investigate where the sound came from carrying a wooden baseball bat. “Are you-” he cuts off in mid sentence since he is caught in throws of disbelief. Without thinking clearly, he rushes forward and raises the bat already preparing to strike at Nathan.
At what seems the last instant Nathan calmly catches the bat in his right hand. “Please don’t do that,” he begs.
The father promptly releases the bat and backs away so that he can stand protectively in between his daughter and this monster. All they can do is stare in astonishment.
Nathan’s hand begins to feel warm. He inspects the bat and finds that it is beginning to smoke. He immediately releases the bat and finds that it now contains a charred mark in the shape of a hand.
“What am I?” he says to himself.
“You’re a devil that’s what you are! And I’m calling the police!” exclaims the father. After this he starts backing away, all the while keeping himself between Nathan and Christine.
“Nathan, I can see you’re in pain just let them take you and then they can fix all of this.” Christine pleads.
Not seeing any better options, Nathan hangs his head and instantly his knees buckle. He is then attacked with that intense pain all along his back. The pain knocks him unconscious until he is carried to the squad car in hand cuffs. Before the car drives a way, he sees the bloodshot eyes of Christine. How ironic it seemed to him that she was crying, when he was only doing what she asked if him.
