Weight/Body Structure/Physical Faults: 192lbs well muscled going so far as to say he is in peak physical condition but this is merely from his active lifestyle and his avid exercise ethic. His effort he puts into his body is counteracted by the torment he puts himself through on a regular basis. He has a handful of scars that dot his back, right thigh and chest and abdomen from his nightly excursions as Paragon.
Beliefs/Religion: There was a time when Shane was Catholic. He went to church on Sundays with mother and little sister Rose but that was a long time ago. Now Shane doesn't know or care if there is a God up there. If there is it would be a safe bet that Shane Lawson absolutely hates the mother fucker. The only thing Shane really believes in anymore is the mission he has outlined for himself and that is that Justice comes to all in time. No one is safe from it and he intends to bring Justice to the world whether the rich and corrupt want it or not.
Career/Past Careers: Mr. Lawson has had a sordid life with a myriad of jobs working as everything from a bus boy, cab driver, day laborer, factory line worker, bouncer and currently an unemployed superhero.
Likes: Stories about his grandfather the infamous, Patriot. Boxing. Old school converses. Beers with friends. Working out. Playing darts at the bar. Dogs.
Dislikes: Criminals. Corruption. The wealthy elite. Spiders. Poets. Overly emotional teenagers. Anime. Himself.
Good Qualities: Shane at his core is a good man who wants to be a noble hero. He is self sacrificing, courageous to a fault and has his own strict honor code that he measures his behavior by. He is incredibly driven will never give up.
Bad Habits: Shane Lawson has a self destructive streak in him and doesn't think highly of himself as a hero. Because of this he has a pension for violence and putting himself in mortal danger on a regular basis. He sees himself almost as constantly trying to stack up to the legend of his grandfather but hopes that one day he can be thought of as an avenger of justice and bastion of good like his grandfather.
Temperament: Shane can and often is a calm and good man with good intentions. Those noble intentions often pale in comparison to the violent streak in him. He struggles to regulate his impulses and as a result has unreasonably hurt many people.
Talents/skills: Shane is a gifted and powerful fighter. He has spent most of his life in and out of street fights and uses this experience to it's full and terrifying potential. His life living in the under city has also given him a unique perspective on crime. He sees clear distinctions on the legality of law and true justice. Shane also has an extensive knowledge of many of the players in the under city from growing up there.
POWERS: Super strength and electrical kinesis. Shane's limits of his titanic strength peaks at the the ability to lift 3 tons at maximum capacity. This super human strength grants Shane not only massive power in his offensive capabilities but grants him considerable durability in order to withstand the forces he puts out. He is resistant to physical trauma only in the degree that he can physically withstand his own powers. His electrical prowess allows him to create and control electrical fields as well as granting him an immunity to any and all electrical charges. The limits of his powers have never truly been tested but expelling electrical charges at the same voltage as a lightning bolt is well within his capabilities. He is also known to use his electrical aptitude to assist him in scaling the under city in his vendetta against crime.
WEAKNESS(es)/FAULTS: Not surprisingly being submerged in water can overload Shane if he uses his electrical powers and can cause his abilities to become chaotic and unpredictable.
BACKGROUND: Shane Lawson grew up the son of Marie and Steven Lawson. His father showed no meta human abilities despite his well known fathers powers. This didn't stop Steven from being a hero to his two young children Shane and Rose. Steven worked three jobs to support his family and showered his wife and children with all the love he could. Shane looked up to his dad as his role model and hero. That love was a double edged sword that cut him deeply when his father tragically was lost to the family. Steven Lawson had gotten sick during work as a construction worker after inhaling harmful chemicals. The company that owned and operated the building refused to admit that their attempts to cut corners and use cheap and harmful materials resulted in three workers deaths including Shane's father. After his fathers death Shane's mother became incredibly introverted forcing Shane to step up even as a young man and support his family. He got his first job busing tables at 14. His life was not easy but he made it work as he cared for his younger sister and mother until his 17th birthday. His sister Rose was horribly assaulted by some boys from her school on her way home. Rose was brutally raped and beaten but bravely swore to turn the boys into the police. This threat caused the boys to beat her further and young Rose never left the dark alley she was attacked in. She was left to die in the filth of the street in a pool of her own blood. Her death crushed him and caused his mother to lose her last attachment to sanity. She lost her mind and is now in a asylum for the mentally traumatized. Shane was left alone with his rage and had one mission, to bring them boys responsible to justice. It didn't take long for Shane to find out who killed his sister after talking to a few kids at her school. He turned them into the police but due to their wealthy families the charges were mysteriously dropped. His anger consumed him and he hunted the boys down with a knife in hand. It was during the brutal attack that he discovered his abilities. With titanic strength and a fist full of lightning he murdered all four young men. This was the night Shane discovered the path his life must take. He had to ensure what happened to him would never happen to anyone else ever again.Shane began to prowl the night looking for the corruption and criminality of the world and has been fighting them ever since his sisters death. He has yet to discover his true potential but he strives to be better, he yearns to be the hero the world needs.
