[b]Name:[/b] Linas Richards
[b]Alias:[/b] Exhale
[b]Age:[/b] 43
[b]Alignment:[/b] Villian
[b]Loyalty:[/b] Independent
[b]Appearance:[/b] An older man, Linas finds himself not looking like his best as he slowly but surely reaches towards his twilight years. He is structured on a pretty average level, maybe just a bit more on the lankier side, but stands at the height of 5’11”. As with old age, Linas finds his short hair balding from the front leaving not much to look as it is starting to lose its color. He also sports a weak chin, generally making his appearance not his best trait. Costume-wise, Linas finds himself wearing his old lab clothing with a few modifications for combat. Mostly, what you would be seeing is his rather heavy white lab coat specifically made to resist minor explosions, heat, and generally a low caliber bullet or two. Underneath are some business casual clothing, fitted to act as minor cushions that are made from similar materials to his lab coat and finally wears a two piece gas mask with tinted black goggles. On his body as well are some bandoliers which can hold ten gas canisters and on his belt underneath his lab coat can hold at a maximum of five. 
[b]History:[/b] As a young boy, Linas found himself not looking like the best kid around combined with his rather seclusive nature led kind of left a forgettable time of his life. The best that he can remember were his parents were busy with work at the lab, no one exactly bothered him in school, and his interest in chemical in nature started to sprout in his young mind. Both parents were known biologist in the scientific community, the pair were married and made a discovery here and there within their field. Linas was unexpected to the parents, he was an accident, but they didn’t want to be rid of him which caused a impermeable distance between parent and child. The only thing that Linas had found interesting with his parents was that while they were away on trips, he could experiment with their stuff which allowed him to get a better understanding of chemistry as he started to grow older.

Many years later, Linas had graduated at the top of his class from MIT with a doctorate in chemistry. Both parents were proud of their son, but the same distance still stood even with the achievements of their son. He was in his late twenties at this time, it didn't take too long to find some place to work with both his achievements and connections from his parents. He found his place of work within a military facility, it was highly funded, highly equipped, and full staffed lab which was all that he could ask for in his life. The job that the scientist were supposed to be achieving was creating better and effective medicine for combat purposes, but their true goal was to synthesize new deadly and potent gases to be used in black ops. Linas didn't mind much of this fact, even with his work being shoved under the rug by government, he was still getting paid an extreme amount of money and got to work at one of the most highly equipped labs in the world. It was his dream job, and coincidentally, was were he met his dream girl. The two married each other after a long period of time of awkward flirting, interesting research, and generally good fun between the two and their fellow members of the lab. This lasted for twenty years, their work of creating deadly combinations of chemicals never really phased the scientists too much as they worked, but soon enough their work caught up to them.

It was on one fateful day, the lab in itself was being moved towards another location and the scientist that had been faithfully working for years were moving as well. No one really gave it much thought, their work was dangerous so it was assumed that they were being moved in case of terrorist plots. Most of the big equipment has already been packed up, the facility was bare bones only leaving the scientist to pack up any personal items and data on further research. On the other side of the facility, there was a team of men ready to spill some blood. The government in itself were disguising this attack as a terrorist plot, the work of the scientist cover story on medical drugs was starting to wane every so slightly and little bits of their research was being suspected to the US. The scientist in themselves had become liabilities in their research, every single one knew too many secrets and were to eliminated to cover all bases for this extremely illegal work. They soon busted into the lab, five were dead on the first few seconds as everyone started to scatter away but all exits had been sealed right before the strike team had come for the kill. Linas and his wife hid away under some desk in the corner, the team were quick and efficient finding almost everyone in minutes executing everyone on site. It was only time until they found the two, dragging them out from under the desk, both kicking and screaming as they started to aim their sights. It only took one shot, blood splashed onto his face, and his screams soon turned deadly. A tasteless and odorless nerve toxin suddenly expunged from his lungs, the sudden burst filling the room at a such high concentration and potency had quickly and effectively killed the entire strike team in seconds. Everyone was dead now, Linas stared at his dead wife for what seemed like hours before looking at her murderers. He checked their bodies, trying to find anything that could relate to anyone, and as he removed their armor found the signs that these people were apart of the military that the group of scientist were working for. He started to hyperventilate, and soon streams of smoke exited his mouth and onto the bloodied floor, this surprised Linas greatly as he quickly covered his mouth thinking the smoke came from some other direction. However, as he uncovered his lips, small streams of smoke slowly trickled out. Linas was afraid, he looked at all the dead bodies in the room and soon dashed for the exit that had been previously blocked by the government officials.  

It had been two years since his escape, Linas has been hiding for quite some time figuring out his newly found powers and from the government that wanted him dead. He was depressed for a long while, his powers had come in too late to save everyone and soon this turned into seething hate for everyone. He became bitter, and now his silent fury had gushed out too far and Exhale was created to solve his anger problems against the world.

[*]Technology
[*]Scientists
[*]Classical Music
[*]Books[/list]
[b]Dislikes:[/b] [list][*]Government
[*]Spicy Foods
[*]Blood
[*]Sexual Interest directed towards him[/list]
[b]Derangement:[/b]Generally Linas has become much more aggressive from his previous mild-manner self, he can control it pretty well but sets off if anyone ever mentions his wife. 

[center][h3][b]Parahumanism[/b][/h3][/center]
[b]Skills:[/b] Incredibly talented in his field, knows how to synthesize and increase potency of almost any chemical concoction even the deadly ones with normal methods. Increased lung capacity, can hold his breath and breath in more than the average person while training his power.
[b]Classification:[/b] Blaster
[b]Details:[/b] Exhale has the ability to create and rearrange any form of gas within his body and exhale it out in large quantities at any point of time. With his knowledge, Exhale knows how the create almost every toxic gases in the world and can even construct his own formulas if given enough time. He had also double triggered during his first trigger, allowing his body to cope with the extreme amount of deadly and fatal chemicals that are produced inside of his body. This means that he is able to resistant to any chemical concoction that is used on him without a single thought and immune to his own attacks.    
[b]Limitations:[/b] Exhale's gases can't tell friend from foe and attacks generally everyone who isn't protected in some way or another. He also needs to inhale gases to change the composition and form making his power useless if you deprive him from his source of power but that would generally kill anyone if you took away all oxygen from the area. 
[b]Equipment:[/b][list][*]Box of Matches
[*]Pack of Cigarettes
[*]Extra gas mask with two filters
[*]20 empty gas canisters[/list]
