Taylor is fit, and built for quick movement. Taylor's main method of movement is free-running, but he is lighter on his feet and incorporates a lot of flips and jumps to both his movement and attacks. He's also very flexible, much like the cloth he manipulates. He is seldom seen without a shirt, as his upper torso is heavily scarred from the experiments conducted on him in Curdun Cay.

[b]Personality:[/b] Taylor, due to the extensive amount of time he spent at Curdun Cay, is a quiet individual. He can be a bit smug at times, and considers himself a pretty good fighter. However, he is willing to take orders, as long as he is sure that innocent civilians won't get hurt.

[b]Conduit Powers:[/b] Taylor can manipulate and absorb fibres. However, his control of this ability is extremely limited due to the time he spent in Curdun Cay. Due to his heroic alignment, Taylor's fibre-based attacks are colored with splashes of white and blue fabric.
[hider=Movement- and Utility-Based Powers]
[b]Fibre Drain[/b] - Taylor can absorb cloth fibres to fuel his ability. This includes any and all fibres made out of fabric materials, such as clothes, curtains, shades, etc.

[b]Fibre Restraint[/b] - Taylor can stiffen a person's clothes to prevent any movement. Armored enemies are restrained with small amounts of strong cloth fibres. This can only be done on downed targets.

[b]Fibre Swing[/b] - Taylor can release a small amount of fibre to latch onto a wall and launch himself towards it. This can be chained to allow Taylor the ability to swing from one building to another.

[b]Fabric Glide[/b] - Taylor can create a manipulable cape that he can harden at will. This allows him to glide until his feet touch the ground.

[hider=Combat-Based Powers]
[b]Fibre Sword[/b] - Taylor's right hand is wrapped with a strip of cloth, which he straighten and stiffen with his powers. This is his melee attack, and is devastating when combined with his other powers.

[b]Fibre Drop[/b] - At a sufficient height, Taylor can slam down on the ground, his shirt exploding into strips that whip at enemies before reforming back onto Taylor's body. This attack can stun enemies for a short time.

[b]Stun Ball[/b] - Taylor can launch fist-sized balls of cloth that expand in mid-air and wrap around an enemy's head.

[b]Cluster Grenade[/b] - Taylor can throw a small fibre grenade on the ground, which explodes after a short time. Upon explosion, the grenade pulls all nearby enemies together into a cluster, allowing Taylor to finish them off with his fibre sword.

[hider=Defense-Based Powers]
[b]Blank Canvas[/b] - Taylor can create a large shield made out of durable fibres that can stop bullets. However, this limits Taylor's field of view. This shield can only stop bullets, and can be destroyed by explosions.

[b]Fabric Stop[/b] - Taylor can use the cloth strip around his arm to snatch projectiles in mid-air and throw them back.

[b]Fibre Shell[/b] - Taylor can negate some damage by hardening his clothes. While in this mode, he is completely covered in fabric and his speed is drastically decreased.

[b]Background:[/b] 
[i]Los Angeles, 2009[/i] 

Taylor Orwell passed out in the middle of a party. Paramedics ensured that he was alive, but failed to wake him up. He lapsed into a coma. His parents panicked. After one month, Taylor awakened to a relieved group of people who cared for him. A doctor almost immediately started asking him questions, pointing out that Taylor passed out at the exact hour that Cole MacGrath had activated the RFI. Barely out of a coma, Taylor felt an immense amount of stress, and his powers first manifested when he almost strangled the doctor to death with a blanket.

Distraught and confused by this recent development, Taylor's parents kept Taylor secluded from the outside world. Taylor was completely satisfied with keeping his powers hidden, as he also considered himself a freak because of how his parents treat him. He lived the next year or so as a "normal" teenager. So, when the DUP arrived at their doorstep, it was understandable that the Orwells were surprised. Apparently, a neighbor had given the DUP a hint for a sizeable reward. Dubbed a "bio-terrorist" and taken under custody, Taylor's life was completely flip-turned upside-down. Being one of the first "bio-terrorists" taken to Curdun Cay, Taylor earned the special privilege of not having anyone to talk to. After extensive examination, Taylor's powers were determined to be cloth-based, and extreme measures were taken to ensure Taylor had little to no access with any type of clothing fibres.

Only being taken out when he was to be experimented on, Taylor's mental disposition deteriorated at a constant rate. He began talking to himself and started hearing voices in his head. 6 years of his life, he spent this way. So when Delsin Rowe and his companions finally defeated the DUP and freed the captured conduits from Curdun Cay, Taylor was surprised by how much the world had changed. Confused, alone, and scared, Taylor looked for a purpose. He ran away from Seattle, eventually arriving at New York following several months of hitchhiking. After helping a young woman that was being mugged, Taylor realized his powers can be used to help others so that they won't experience the helplessness he felt in Curdun Cay.
