If anything needs to be changed just give me the word and it shall be done :D [img]http://s4.postimg.org/97rrrde3x/rsz_gyi0062157160_medium.jpg[/img] [color=ed1c24][i][b]Whatever doesn't kill me, should start running[/b][/i][/color] [b]Name:[/b] Harri Van Helle [b]Age:[/b] 23 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Height:[/b] 5'9" [b]Weight:[/b] 220 lb [b]Ethnicity:[/b] Caucasian [b]Sexuality:[/b] Straight [b]Religion:[/b] Atheist [b]Occupation:[/b] Welder [b]Ability:[/b] Enchanced Strength. When Harri's powers awakened it affected his whole body. His muscles, skin and even bones started to slowly grow stronger and more durable, so his power started slowly increasing after the initial awakening and over the years his body has kept slowly becoming stronger and he has no idea when or if it will stop. Another side effect was his appearance. During the first two years he started slowly changing from overweight into a bulky, muscular build. [b]Personality:[/b] Harri likes to think of himself as a simple man. He is bluntly honest and goes straight to the point, without too much thought of the consequences or reactions. If he doesn't like you, he will not hesitate to let you know, but if he does, he will be loyal to a fault. Even the people he generally spends time with are described as mere acquintances, by himself rather than friends. Over the course of his life he has only considered one person as a real friend. Harri lives by a code of his own, that just can't be written down. It's not a set of rules and regulations, it's 23 years of life, experiences, hardships, happiness and everything inbetween. That code determines his every action and there is nothing he fears more, than him losing that integrity. [b]Background:[/b] At the age of 6 Harri migrated from northern europe to the US with his parents, leaving behind his 3 older siblings who were already old enough to be independant and had decided to stay. His parents had decided to leave their past behind them, where it belonged, but over the years Harri's siblings would remind them of the it on a regular basis. The blame and suffering got the best of his parents eventually and Harri had to move away from them, at the age of 17, in order to save himself. Going at it on his own before even finishing high school had proven to be utmost difficult, but luckily after only a few weeks he crossed paths with Tom. Tom was the godfather of Harri, but they had not seen each other since Harri had moved to the states, but Harri's mom had sent pictures of him every year so Tom recognised him. As luck would have it Tom had come to the states a year before, to expand his business and he was heading over to the opening ceremony. Harri explained his situation as he accompanied Tom to the ceremony. Of course Tom felt obligated to help him out and so Harri got introduced to the proffesion of welding. Harri first learned about his abilities one night at the docks when he was staying late to finish some urgent repairs that had to be done before morning. He had worked late into the evening and gotten careless in the process. A steel beam fell off the crane he was using and standing right beneath, which was a major safety violation, he was going to get hit, but luckily managed to dodge it at the last second. Adrenaline pumping through his veins and the frustration of being tired and careless got the best of him and he grabbed the steel beam in anger and accidentally threw it at least a hundred feet away. He figured it had to be the adrenaline doing the work, but tried to lift the steel beam and it was easy. After that day he had to take time away from work to learn how to keep his strength in check and not brake every glass he drank from.
