Description
Age: 18
Power: Pyrokinesis, Craig can exert a certain amount of control over fire. he can also absorb fire into his body, and can generate it. His ability to generate fire is affected by how hot his environment is. In a very very hot environment, like a burning building, he could raise an inferno. He is exceptionally weak to a cold environment, and he becomes a lot weaker physically (as well as in terms of his power) because his power is part of him, thus he needs heat to function normally.
Appearance: Craig stands at 5'9, and is fairly skinny. He has a tanned complexion and a short, dark blonde crop of hair which is often greasy or dirty with mud or perhaps even blood.
He likes to dress well, and is extremely self conscious. He has a number of scars across his back from where his father used to beat him, for 'acting up'
Personality: He is rather timid, and is not a great fan of confrontation unless he is provoked severely. He was beaten from an early age by his family, and was bullied severely all through school. He ran away after he discovered his power and destroyed an entire 'city block' (from UK, not sure what it is), completely by accident. Since then he has a lot more control over his power.
Although he was once a caring and kind boy, the more he has learned about his power, the more sadistic and evil he has become.
History
Craig left school when he was 16, and started working with his Father. This consisted of manual labour; something which he was not good at due to his strength.
However he soon got a bit stronger, but a drink and driving accident caused his father to cut him off, meaning he was condemned to work in the local fast food restaurant.
He worked here for another 6 months, before his latent power surfaced. He was attacked in the parking lot of the restaurant by a few angry bullies, and really laid into him, kicking him and spitting on him. It was the heat of their lighters burning his skin that set him off. The flame was absorbed, and soon enough, he was engulfed in a huge ball of flames, but he did not feel it. In a burst of rage he unleashed it, causing widespread damage and multiple deaths.
He fled the scene and has been registered as dead.
Since then he has been living as a homeless guy, begging and eating scraps, until he was taken as a subject one dark and stormy night...
