Name: Joshua Aaron Wright
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Species: Extraordinary
From: Campsite

Ability: Wing Manifestation - Josh has a pair of large, white, birdlike wings.  He can use his wings to lift himself off the ground to take flight and glide.  He can't fly too high, however, as the lack of oxygen at higher elevations would quickly cause him to suffocate.  He also needs a wide area to take off and land without risking injury.  He normally keeps his wings folded behind his back, but they are always present.  While he is able to fly, his skill level is more "gross motor skills" than anything too dexterous.  He can take off, land, and fly in straight lines.  He hasn't mastered finer things, such as turning or hovering.

Light Manipulation - This gives him the ability to focus the light particles in his vicinity into orbs or beams.  The most focused of these manifestations can cause concussive injuries, but doing this quickly drains his stamina.  Using this power makes the area around him darker and colder.  He has mastered basic shapes, such as orbs, and since these were the only requirements for his "miracles", he never attempted to improve, either by experimenting with different shapes and forms, or with varying intensities.  In other words, his abilities are rather basic.

Light Healing - He is also able to focus light particles for the purpose of healing others.  This power doesn't seem to affect his own body, however, and once again, using it too often or in too high of concentration drains his stamina.  He is quite skilled at recognizing wounds and injuries, and he can heal most injuries with his abilities.  He is completely unable to heal lethal wounds; the more intense the wound, the more time and energy it takes for him to heal.  

Weaknesses: Josh is at a very confusing point in his life right now and his willingness to "go against the grain" could possibly be exploited.  While he is slow to anger, it is difficult for him to calm down afterward.  He tends to see things in black and white, and he's very self-conscious about his wings, and worries about hitting people or objects win them.

Personality: Aloof ~ Sarcastic ~ Patient ~ Cynical

Likes: Being by himself, Being useful, Rain, Learning New Things

Dislikes: Being Alone, People who take advantage of others, Conflict

Job: Assistant at the General Store

Bio: Joshua is the only son of an evangelical pastor and his wife.  Because of several complications with the pregnancy, no one was sure that Josh would even survive to come to term, so when he did, his parents considered it a miracle.  Then, as if by divine design, their child pretty much became the angel that they had thought he was!  From an early age, the winged child would be taken to service after service, and made to perform small "miracles" using his light manipulation abilities.  To the devout, Josh was seen as a messenger from God, while those who were more cynical merely saw the whole thing as a sideshow performance.
Josh grew up knowing only the church and its ways, and he had taken to it, like any good angel would...though he could never, for the life of him, reconcile his personal moral compass, and God's alleged love for all living things, with the atrocities that he knew happened in the world on a daily basis.  This internal conflict came to a head when he turned 18.
He and his family were at a service, and Josh was laying hands on a sick, elderly woman.  Outside, he and the rest of the congregation heard a loud commotion.  A few of the churchgoers, including Josh, ventured outside to see what was the matter, and found themselves confronted with an anti-Extraordinary demonstration.  Upon seeing Josh, the crowd turned angry and belligerent, accusing Josh and his family of being "freaks" and "charlatans".  Josh's father stepped forward to attempt to quell the angry crowd, and was struck with a blunt object for his trouble.
This set Josh over the edge.  He stepped forward, gathering as much light energy as he could around him while quoting bible verses about the wrath of God and calling himself "the Hand of Righteousness".  He unleashed the energy he gathered, injuring several of the protesters and even some of the congregation.
When he saw what he had done in his blind fury, he felt extremely guilty and immediately turned himself in to the authorities, where he spent time in the local jail.  While there, he had a lot of time to reflect on his actions, and the life which had led him to this point.  He decided then and there that he wanted out.  He wanted a new life, and to be beholden to no one but himself.
His parents were oddly accepting of his decision, and it was here that the prospect of the Summer Camp was brought to his attention.  A place where he could be among his own kind?  And maybe sort out his life?
He couldn't wait to sign up![/hider]
