Character's Real Name: Tommy Kessinger
Superhero Name: None
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Occupation: Unemployed Currently
Powers and Abilities: Fire Creation and Manipulation
Power Gained: When he was a teenager living at home, a fire engulfed his house. at the time, he had just gotten into a fight, so he had many cuts and wounds upon his body. During the fire, he inhaled lots of smoke, as well as smoke seeping into his cuts and wounds, and many burns covered his body. His parents rushed him to the hospital. Though they feared they were to late, doctors assured them there was a new though untested and not yet passed medical treatment that could save his life. His parents agreed and the doctors began testing various medical practices that were illegal and not sanctioned. One of the medical treatments reacted with the smoke inside his body and on his lungs, forcing it to explode within him. But instead of kill him, he sprung to life, his eyes engulfed in flames. He had no idea why everyone was staring at him until he looked down to see his hands and arms engulfed in flames as well. Soon after he passed out.
Weaknesses: He is very prone to rage, just like a berserker. Should he become angry enough, he'll begin to attack wildly, leaving him very open to attacks without even thinking. Also, he can be doused with Water and momentarily lose his fire creation.
Appearance: Spiky brown hair, dark brown eyes, stands at about 5'11", 187 lbs. He wears a black mask which covers half of his face, from his nose down due to the burns on his skin which never healed. Usually found wearing a long tan trench coat, black gloves, white sleeveless T-Shirt as well as stonewashed (if that's the correct terminology for those white/grayish jeans) jeans, and black sneakers.
History: When he was 16, the fire happened. Shortly after he realized what happened to him during the operations, he left home. Leaving his mother and father behind as to not cause them any hurt or pain from what he had become, he tried to learn to control what he could do. It was obvious his trail though, as he tried to hone his powers, he would accidentally set fire to several buildings in several towns, that would then attack him and force him out.
During one of the attacks, another man with powers came to his aid. This man trained him how to hone his powers for the next 8 years. All the while, Tommy learned how to use his powers for that of good or evil, seeing as how he felt he was outcast and didn't deserve such criticism. When he left the home of this man after his 8 year stay, he moved to a big city near him and began working as a construction worker. Since he had learned about his power, he could handle the heat of being outside and working constantly, regardless of the temperature.
Recently though, he's been feeling as if he should be doing more with his life, slacking off of his work to travel and such. Looking for others who shared his same abilities, or others like it.
Other Information: Tommy is a very friendly person, unless provoked or betrayed. He'll give anyone a chance, until they do something that he feels betrays his trust. Many could say this is a weakness, but Tommy feels everyone deserves a chance until they show they don't deserve your trust or respect.
RP Sample: "Excuse me, Mr Kessinger! Could you come down here please!" The contractor yelled up at Tommy as he was working on roofing a new house. Tommy looked down at the man, wiping the sweat from his brow, he climbed down a ladder and removed his hard-hat. He then stood before the man, arms crossed at his chest.
"Yeah Gerry, what do you need?" Tommy asked, speaking through the mask he was wearing, adjusting his gloves. "Tommy, I hate to do this to you, but we just got the order from upstairs to let you go. Seems you've been slacking a lot lately, and they seem to have it stuck in their heads your some sort of flame freak, I don't know. I feel terrible, but I gotta let you go man." Gerry sighed, as he then turned and walked back to inspect another house.
Dammit, this ain't right. I'll show Gerry who's a flame freak. Tommy smiled to himself, as he picked up his hard-hat and trench coat. He began to leave the work site as he came across Gerry's car. A Sporty one at that, as he knelt down, removed his left hand glove, and placed his left hand upon the rim of Gerry's car. A sizzling could be heard as the rim soon melted afterwords. Tommy laughed a bit before walking back toward town.
( Um, I have no idea if this is any good at all. I'm kinda new to this, so any help would be appreciated. I do hope you accept me though. I would love to have some fun with this Forum. )
