[*]Vain - He typically doesn't leave the house without doing his hair first and does devote a considerable amount of concern to his appearance.[/list] [b]Power:[/b] Photokinesis [b]Personality:[/b] Classic punk through and through, to summarize his personality in one phrase would be pretty easy. "FUCK THE SYSTEM." He has an anti-establishment anarchic streak a mile long, and is naturally obtuse around authority figures. Further he is always looking to add a little chaos to a situation even if it is to his own detriment. Really he doesn't care about a damn thing, except maybe his kids and ex-wife. Aside from that he is a pretty friendly guy if you're not a government employee, though age has slightly tempered his rebellious streak. [b]History:[/b] Rod was born and raised in upper middle class Colorado in the 1970/80s, he got swept up in the punk movement in high school and never looked back. He lived a reckless carefree lifestyle, short stints in juvie translated into similar ones in jail for minor crimes, vandalism, breaking and entering, shoplifting. The he ran the gamut of stupid youthful decisions. Eventually though he found some minor stability working as a part of a show in Vegas as a firebreather in his late 20s. He still spent his off-time making the most trouble he could without being caught, but now it was just a little bit more safe. It was around that time he met a girl, she was pretty, funny, and great in bed. With a new partner in crime things were great until life decided to surprise him, the pregnancy was a surprise to say the least, but they decided to tackle this new challenge life had thrust upon them together. Finally he settled down, and for the first few years it was great, enough so they decided to have another kid even. But time is a fickle bitch, and eventually they both realized that at some point things stopped working for them. They needed change. They stayed together until a few months after their son moved out. And then that was it, over 20 years of relationship done and dusted. They parted on good enough terms and went their separate ways.
