[b]Real Name:[/b] 
Brent Waters

[b]Superhero Alias:[/b]
Heavy

[b]Age:[/b]
17

[b]Gender:[/b]

Male

[b]Species:[/b]

Male

[b]Powers:[/b]
Brent is able to control the pull and direction of gravity. The ramifications of this are fairly obvious, thought he typically prefers to just increase the gravity around his opponents to keep their firmly rooted in place. His skin and bones are also more dense than a normal human's, making him a bit more difficult to injure, and he tips the scales at around forty pounds heavier than he appears. Currently, he's experimenting with his power to see if he can increase this factor, typically training at 10 times Earth's gravity (Yes, I am fully aware that is not how it works in real life.)

[b]Abilities:[/b]
While he's not particularly book-smart, he possesses all the practical skills demanded of any proper good ol' boy; Mechanical skill for automobiles, reading sign, tracking, and basic negotiations. His religious background also, surprisingly enough, seems to come in handy with certain supernatural forces, though admittedly this is situational. 

[b]Equipment:[/b]
He typically eschews all but his communicator and other essentials, though on occasion he does take his motorcycle (a white and blue Harley-Davidson FXDWG Wide Glide with beige braid-trimmed seat, black leather saddlebags and rear-view mirror) out on missions. As he takes the license plate off for obvious reasons, the bike is in fact not street-legal.

[b]Personality:[/b]
For the most part, Brent fits the bill for good-hearted, earnest naivety common among a religious family, preferring to see the best in others and quick to forgive a slight, and prone to blushing when certain topics are brought up. He is typically the first to try talking the villains down and appealing to conscience, and always attends court hearings to ensure they get a fair trial. He does however have this viscous side when his friends are put in immediately lethal danger, having to resist the urge to apply just a little more gravity than necessary to end the fight. When it comes to teamwork, he prefers to follow rather than lead, as he knows he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, and though he is far from being an idiot, this lack of book-smarts is a notable source of self-consciousness for the boy.

[b]Brief Backstory:[/b]

Like most metahumans, Brent Waters' story for the most part was marked with a mundane existence, a good ol' boy from North Carolina that most thought would lead an average life. Sure, some raised an eyebrow at the fact he tipped the scales despite being in peak shape for a kid his age, but it was easily ignored, especially when he put that weight to good use as the star tackle for the high school. Fate, however, had other ideas. A dispute between his friends and local punks turned out to be the moment he discovered his power, ending with several broken bones and one poor boy's right foot crushed flat. Shocked at both the discovered of his heritage and this sudden loss of control, Brent's thoughts raced, and in desperation he rushed to tell his father what happened. 

"Son, you got big powers, like those supers in the city. God gave ya a gift, an' you gotta use it right." His father told him. And so the single father and his three children left their hometown, transferring to Rush City where there was talk of lots of supers, including one's Brent's age, gathering. After all, where better to learn to control this gift than among others with it?

[b]Arc Ideas:[/b]
[i]Crisis of Faith[/i]: Constant battles with the supernatural have taken their toll on Brent, as he's forced to question a greater good when faced with such a constant onslaught of evil. In his desperation to find some way of rationalizing his faith with all he's witnessed, he distances himself from the Sentinels and in the process makes himself a prime target for a vengeful sorceress eager to see a righteous soul damned.

[i]Thicker Than Water:[/i] Brent's sister has always lived in the shadow of brother, and resentment has built in her heart as she watched him go on to do great things while she was stuck in mediocrity. Now, however, her own dormant metahuman genes have come into fruition, and now she sees the time to finally take her place at the forefront. A young meta, however, is a prize for any villain...
