Quote: Better than a poke in tha eye with a sharp stick.

Name: Derrick McManus
 
Age: 28

Gender: Male

Height: 6'

Weight: 220

Ethnicity: Irish

Sexuality: Yes please

Religion: Life's a bitch and then you die

Occupation: motorcycle Mechanic/fabricator

Ability: Solid light projection. Derrick can create constructs out of light in any shape or design that he can imagine. He can project an aura of light around him to use as a shield but a really solid blow will break it, and it only works when he's concentrating on it. A sneak attack or one just too fast for him to react to will slip right through his defenses. 

He had also used his aura to fly, but it's flashy and he tries not to draw attention to himself when possible. He also can't fly exceptionally fast, 50 or 60mph at most. 

Personality: Derrick is a cynical, pessimistic sort for the most part. He's got a short temper and a tendency to break out into singing Irish folk songs at any random moment. For a hard man he's got a soft spot for kids and people in need of help and doesn't mind sticking his neck out for the few people he considers a friend. 

Background: Derrick and his parents lived in Ireland until he was 15. His powers had developed the year before and his dad had been carefully fending off recruiting efforts by the IRA. His father worked in construction and had an intimate knowledge of explosives used in demolition. When a recruiter accidentally discovered Derrick power the family was forced to flee before the information was used against them. 

Derrick finished high school in the states and has since moved from place to place. His family never verbally blamed him for uprooting their lives but he could always tell that they weren't happy in the states. As soon as he was legally old enough he left to remove the burden and give them the opportunity to return home if they wanted.
