[u][b]Keith Adrian Booker[/b][/u]

Gender: Male

Age: 20

Superhuman Abilities: Keith possesses the ability to become intangible at will. While he remains completely visible, solid objects such as fists or bullets will pass harmlessly through him- alternately, he can use this power to pass through walls or other obstacles. However, air also passes through him, so the duration of this ability is limited to as long as he can hold his breath- otherwise he will suffocate from lack of oxygen. This ability is active, not passive- he needs to "turn it on" for it to work. Keith suspects but cannot confirm he has some kind of limited control over his personal gravity as well, as he doesn't sink helplessly into the earth when he turns intangible. 

Appearance: Keith is a Caucasian male of average height with carefully styled brown hair and brown eyes. He is extremely thin (by his own intention) and not particularly athletic in build. When able to choose his own clothing he prefers tight designer styles.

Personality Characteristics: Keith outwardly projects a fairly camp, happy-go-lucky image. He always acts in a joking, positive manner and given the chance will ramble for hours about topics that interest him. However, beneath it all Keith boils with resentment. The world has not treated him well and he feels (not wrongly) that he has been victimized his entire life. Keith constantly berates himself for lacking the courage to stand up for himself, and alternately for not hiding who he is.

History: From a young age, the Booker family knew Keith was different. Working class people in a working class part of Alabama, the Bookers were tight-knit and loving. When Keith realized he was gay as a young teenager, his parents and siblings remained loving and supportive. The same could not be said of the rest of his town, a close-minded place where people knew him as "that queer". Keith was teased and abused mercilessly by his classmates and peers, occasionally with physical violence. His childhood was rife with humiliating incidents- a church pastor refusing him admittance to a wedding ceremony, a waitress very slowly and deliberately spilling a drink on him. While Keith loved his family, he found life in this town unbearable and longed to escape and go to college to study theater- a cliche for someone in his situation, true, but dramatics offered his one refuge. Being of limited financial means, though, he had to work several part time jobs to save enough money in the years after high school. He would hold down a job for a few months or so, until the inevitable harassment from his coworkers got to be too much. It was during one such job, night shift at a burger joint, that his powers first manifested. One of his coworkers had made a game of "accidentally" hip-checking Keith aside. Keith, lacking the spine to say anything, just sighed and let the man have his fun- until one night he seemed to pass straight through Keith and fall to the floor. While his coworker assumed that he had just miscalculated and missed, Keith knew differently. He experimented on his own time, found he was able to turn himself intangible. Scarcely a week later, though, he was tasered by a man in a balaclava on his walk home from work. Surprised and unable to react in time, Keith was pulled into a van and kept under heavy sedation. Next thing he knows, he is aboard a plane, leaving Alabama for the first time in his life- just not under the circumstances he hoped for.
