<strong>Player:</strong>Ex68471<br/><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Chris Orsson<br/><strong>Codename:</strong>Spark<br/><strong>Age:</strong>19<br/><strong>Height:</strong>5'10”<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>127 lbs<br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/d6/Lucasm.jpg)<br/><br/>When using his powers in public, in order to protect his identity, Chris' body becomes covered in a layer of moving electricity and flames.<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong><br/>Thermal/Electrical Control: Chris can control thermal energy and electricity within 15 feet of his body. He can us this for a variety of strategies from absorbing enough heat to create ice, or superheating objects to the point of melting or evaporating. With a little concentration he can control open flames to within 5 feet of himself. He can, however, hurl them beyond this range, he simply loses control of their trajectory. While touching simple electrical machines, he can control the flow of electricity through it, effectively controlling the machine.<br/><br/>Thermal/Electrical Absorption: Chris can absorb and store thermal and electrical energy as well, expelling it when he feels the need to use it. As he stores more energy, his body temperature skyrockets immensely. After a certain point, he begins to feel discomfort, then pain beyond that, and has never absorbed enough to find his limit.<br/><br/>Body Enhancement: By manipulating the energy stored in his body, Chris can boost his strength, speed, and stamina immensely. If he boosts his strength or speed too far or too often, however, he begins to feel serious pain. He has yet to find any drawbacks to using his stored energy to refresh his stamina.<br/><br/>Mind Enhancement: Chris can increase his brain's processing power to rival that of a supercomputers by manipulating the electricity flowing through his synapses, making him hyperobservant and giving him a genius IQ and tactical prowess. The only drawback he has discovered to this is the headache which begins to appear a few hours after he ceases the increased performance.<br/><br/><strong>Skills:</strong>Chris is far from an expert, but he is relatively proficient in both boxing and Tae Kwon Do from taking public classes, and is willing to learn more if a willing teacher is found. He can augment any of his strikes by increasing his strength and speed, and can further increase damage by wreathing his fists in flame or electricity. He also can run fairly fast even before enhancing himself with his powers. With his couple of years of wandering around the country, he has become quite the accomplished driver.<br/><br/><strong>Equipment:</strong>Chris has three sets of heat-proof clothing, to facilitate using his powers without accidentally burning off his clothes. They generally consist of dark, loose-fitting pants and colored shirts. He also has a dark red Kawasaki Ninja that he modified to run solely through use of his thermal control powers. These were a gift from his mother and father respectively, so he is very protective of them.<br/><br/><strong>Weaknesses:</strong>Chris does have upper limits to the energies he can absorb and wield, though he has yet to find where they are, as approaching them causes him discomfort and pain. When he is completely depleted, he is powerless until he can find more energy to absorb. Beyond his powers, he is a normal mortal human being, and is just as fragile as any other normal person. He also usually has a short temper when it comes to anything or anyone he holds dear.<br/><br/><strong>Backstory:</strong>Chris was living a normal teenager's high school life in Metropolis, he had good grades, good friends, and a good family. Until his powers began to appear at age 15, and he accidentally blew up a gymnasium. After explaining that “Metahuman damage” was covered by their insurance, the school assured him that he could in fact stay, under the condition that he gain control of his powers. He took to this with fervor, and learned to control anything extreme within a couple of months. His parents were very supportive, even going so far as to help him train, albeit with the local fire department on standby. He turned 18 the week after he graduated high school, when his mother gave him a gift of a heat-resistant wardrobe, and his father gave him his old motorcycle, a Kawasaki Ninja. After tinkering with the bike, he said goodbye and began wandering throughout the country, getting by on odd jobs he'd pick up here and there.
