Name: Thomas Howard
Alias(s): Mara the Magical
Age: 39
Affiliations: None
Description: Thomas in his normal, original form was a tall, slender and slightly attractive man. He was looming and always smiling - his mouth so big and his eyes so wide that people often had to adjust their gaze. His neck was slightly too long and without muscle, and his thin body seems endlessly long. Before the emergence of his powers, Thomas worked a part-time office job for the government and working part-time as a magician which was where his heart lay. He wore his magician garments proudly - billowing black robes, a freshly ironed and tucked shirt, long crisp black trousers and claw sharp polished shoes. And to top it off, his intimidatingly massive top hat and dark eye mask. 

Powers: Mara's powers lay in the supernatural: that is, the science too tough for humans to understand. His powers emulate Mara, the Buddhist demon of skill-less emotions and the enemy of any enlightened being. In his pursuit of mischief, chaos and sorrow, Mara's powers are completely random but often have negative effects due to his evil intent.
For instance, he may wish to pull a gun out of his hat to fight an enemy, but pull out pepper spray. Or aim to curse them with bad looks, but make them so beautiful they're murdered by stalkers.

Skills: Can type 105wpm, owns two double-jointed thumbs and can play 'Nearer my God to Thee' after spontaneously learning it on violin at a very chocolatey Greek wedding.
Equipment: Magical top hat and wand.
Ranking: A or above? Eeek. 

Brief History:
By the age of thirty, Thomas was incredibly depressed and suicidal. His life had up until then been completely void of anything extraordinary or interesting, and it had made him sick. He had become tired of living his ordinary, average existence and often kept writings full of suicide plans which he only ever meekly attempted. Instead of recovering, Thomas' depression spiralled out of control. He became violent and depended constantly on drugs before his mind descended into psychosis. Not long after these dramatic and sudden events, Thomas had vanished from his asylum room, leaving walls scratched with the image of a haunting black demon and the words 'Mara' bloodily covering the floor.
Since then, accounts have flooded out of LA and cities across the world of a masked magician causing chaos; turning a Greek's family wedding guests into chocolate, faking the deaths of notable leaders in the middle east and transforming royal family members into hermaphrodites.
