[b]Name:[/b] James Everett [b]Alias:[/b] Synthesis [b]Age:[/b] 17 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Skills:[/b] Most of his physical skills are only slightly above average. He is a problem solver and more adept in sciences and technology. [b]Powers:[/b] Matter=energy conversion. He is able to convert solid materials into energy and store that energy for a later time. The more dense the material the longer it takes to convert. Vice versa that stored energy can then be converted back into a solid material. The more dense or complex the result the more energy is required. He can only create as much as he has taken in. The power only works on solid, non-living material and is an equal exchange. [b]Equipment:[/b] Sometimes carries raw material that he can use to later make into other tools, weapons, or other equipment. [b]Personality:[/b] He is generally quiet until you get to know him. Once past the stoic exterior he is loyal friend and random at times. Still he airs on the side of logic when the need arises and is a decent tactician. In the absence of a leader he can fill the role but typically does better in tandem with others or as a second. An abundance of patience is one of his better traits but also greater weakness. History: Looking at James' past one wouldn't think that he would end up in an organization like H.I.V.E. His childhood was pretty normal. Nothing particularly tragic happened with him or his family. If anything he was a success story in the making. His grades were great and he was constantly creating new things to advance his position is life. The potential could get him into some very lucrative careers. The only problem was the system. Other people benefited handsomely for the things he did while he only got nominal return. While there was the possibility he could strike out on his own he would still be beholden to and others that would not be looking after his best interest. James needed a steady supply of materials that were also cost more than he could afford. With that in mind he set out to solve both those problems. It was a long shot to be sure, a method of manufacturing only heard of in science fiction. But they did live in a world where super powered beings ran amok. Embezzling funding and resources from his current "employer" he attempted to find a way to recreate matter from energy. To be fair, while James was incredibly smart he did not fully understand the forces he was dealing with. Even the equipment he borrowed was highly experimental even before being tampered with. Whats more questions were beginning to arise of what he was doing. Becoming increasingly more careless James let things slide until it blew up in his face, literally. While he walked away with minor cuts and bruises his reputation was ruined. No one with an ounce of business credibility would hire him now. It was not until months later that he realized he had succeeded, though not exactly how he had expected. He could be as rich as he wanted, but that didn't change that his former employer was going to come down hard legally. Short on options, it was around that time he was approached by H.I.V.E. with an offer that was hard to refuse. [b]Appearance:[/b] 5' 6". Average build, Short black hair and green eyes. When he doesn't have contacts in he wears rectangular lensed glasses (which is most of the time). He has yet to make a costume so for now it is your standard H.I.V.E. issue. [b]Other:[/b] First! H.I.V.E. Five. On another note, I have managed another RP before (not on this site) and did it for many years. I would be willing to assist where I can.
