Image: Name: Alan "Carter" Smith Age: 34 Gender: Male Religion: Non-practicing Catholic Sexuality: Straight Occupation: Officially he owns a small bookstore on the edge of the city. Abilities: - Leader and Strategist: Has been planning and leading heists and sometimes other criminal escapades on and off again since his early twenties. - Agile: What got him noticed for grooming into his life of crime and constantly useful in his operations - Brawler and Gunman: No professional training in either, but he has been enough fistfights and used guns enough times throughout his life that he's picked up on some of the finer details of each. That said he'd still call in a professional if he really need either on a job. - Well Connected: He may only be coming back to his criminal roots recently after getting his powers, but he knows a lot of people to call on if he needs particular skill sets and most of them know and respect his abilities. Faults: Alan doesn't trust anyone emotionally out of fear of abandonment and more than that he doesn't trust himself. He is always doubting his own thoughts and feelings, striving to push himself and and prove that he can do the things he thinks that he can do if only for the momentary validation of himself and his abilities. Power: Electricity manipulation Personality: You wouldn't be able to tell how cold, distant and hateful of the greater world Alan was by the way he runs his jobs. He get's to know all of his men, encourages them and shares dark humor with them. Still he never let's any of them get too close. History: Born of middle class parents Alan didn't have much time to enjoy a normal life before his parents both died at the hands of a cop during a traffic stop. After that he and his two younger siblings spent most of their childhoods in an orphanage without really knowing what exactly happened to their parents and without much hope for the future. It was particularly bad for Alan who hated the way the orphanage was run and could only barely coexist with the staff. Regardless he stowed it away for the sake of his brother and sister. When he was a teenager he fell in with a bad crowd and had his first run in with the police. Alan outran them and eluded them all night until he met the man who would become his master, an aging man called Reagan, who just so happened to be a master thief. He taught Alan everything he knew and before Alan was in college he was already participating in some fairly big heists. The money was, as Alan told himself, for his brother and sister to help them get on in life, but when they found out what Alan had done to get it, they dissociated with him only keeping his secret out of respect for their familial connection. So he threw himself at his work. Alan became notable enough to run his own crew and make his own jobs. One day though he stumbled upon the most beautiful woman he had ever seen by the name of Elizabeth. She came of old money and her father was determined to involve her heavily with his business partners and eventually marry her off like some medieval lord. They met in secret for a few years before Her father found out and and forbid there meeting ever again. Eli complied and turned Alan away again and again. Abandoned by everyone in his life Alan removed himself from the world for a while before coming back to the criminal scene with a vengeance. He went after big heist after big heist before once again leaving the scene, telling his associates only that there wasn't anything else left worthy of his talents.
