The only indication that anything about him might be different was a Class C sister who could speak with reptiles. It wasn't until he was wracked with unexpected and crippling pain while packing for his freshman year of college that there was out of the ordinary about him. Once rushed to the hospital the doctors soon realized that he was beginning to mutate and develop Powers. It took three days in a special ward for the care of Powered Individuals before his condition stabilized and he once more began tracking his surroundings.<br/><br/>One look in the mirror convinced him to rethink his education plans. With his parents approval he changed his 'real' name in addition to selecting a 'Hero' moniker, so as to keep reporters and unscrupulous people from bothering his family, though he still keeps in touch. He then spent the next few years attending a special college for PIs, paid for via both an academic scholarship and another government provided one for those with Powers strong enough to be a danger to themselves or others. He graduated with decent grades and the conviction that he had mastered his powers. He was wrong.<br/><br/>It took two years of Freelance 'Heroing', barely making ends meet the entire time, before it became clear there was more to his powers then was initially apparent. During the bust of a bank job he was attacked by a PI villain with the ability to project pain into others. Brought to his knees, and helpless in the face of the agony being forced directly into him, something snapped. When he regained control of himself all the criminals were unconscious and wounded, some badly, and there was footage of him throwing the PI through a reinforced window of bulletproof glass. He has since transformed several times, without losing control of himself ever again, but has made little progress in improving his control over activating and using his second form.<br/><br/>Upon hearing about the Olympians and the Hero Project Karn decided to try out, hoping that winning a spot on the team will grant him access to both technology and experienced PIs that might help him establish the control he needs to make a truly significant impact on the world... helping to defend people as part of one of the most famous Super Teams in the world would also be a nice bonus.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Abilities:</strong>Eyesight that can pierce both darkness and illusion with equal ease, a abnormally tough and powerful body, strong resistance to fire, and the ability to generate heat at will. These alone would be enough to make Karn Hero material... but in times of stress or other strong emotion he has been able to shift closer to the Dragons of legend. While in his 'Dragon Form' scales cover his oddly dark skin, his teeth become the razor blades of a predator, claws tip his fingers, and great leathery wings sprout from his back. He has also been known to breathe fire in this state. Unfortunately the transformation leaves him badly drained afterward and he has yet to fully master ether the potential of the form itself or the ability to trigger it deliberately. Perception is therefore split as to whether he is an rather powerful Class A who simply lacks training and development... or a borderline Gene Hazard just waiting to meltdown explosively.<br/><br/><br/><br/>I'll try and get a post up soon.
