[hider=Johnathan Harker] Name: Johnathan Harker Gender: Male Age: 17 Appearance: While Johnathan is clearly in his teenage years, the way he presents himself and dresses actually has the effect of making him look older then what he is... and not in a good way. His dark hair is always cut short, his blue eyes always seem somewhat dry and slightly blood shot and what would otherwise be an alright face to look at almost always seems tired and drained of energy. His clothing tends to be simple but clearly showing signs of age, wear and whatever colors they might have originally had longed faded from wash after wash. Even the new items of clothing that he gets appears to have been at least second hand before he got it. He almost always is seen wearing a pair of old work boots; The steel capped kind that protects the toes. While also clearly showing the signs of age, his boots were originally a pretty solid pair and even after all this time they are in good condition. Personality: Quiet and simple, Johnathan seems to spend a lot of the free time he has just sitting down somewhere, lost in his own mind somewhere. He doesn't talk about his past, the subject being very much closed to anyone who doesn't need to know about it. Something clearly haunts him, but he never speaks of it to anyone; That said, whenever he finds the time, he will go and visit a small, run down church in one of the worse then normal neighborhoods of Tranquil City through why and what he does there are private. While the exact source is unclear to all but himself, Johnathan has a deep seated violent streak that plagues him. Unable to cure it, he instead decided to attempt to channel it into something positive instead and thus why he has decided to pursue trying to clean up the streets of his home street despite his seeming lack of super powers. Uniform: Getting into 'costume' is as simple as putting on one of his worn out black shirts. It doesn't require much more work then that. Powers/ Abilities: Johnathan doesn't have any powers that he is actively aware of and he lacks of professional training and resources that certain -other- powerless heroes have. He has a metal baseball bat and knows how to use it. However, he does have [i]some[/i] interesting abilities; Those attempting to read his mind will quickly find themselves confused by the fact that instead of hearing his actual thoughts, they will instead encounter a jumble of the most sick, twisted and disturbingly dark thoughts and imagery that an ill human mind can think of and comprehend. It is not a pleasant experience in the slightest, through Johnathan is unaware of this ability since to his knowledge, no one has ever attempted to peer into his mind in such a manner. Johnathan's mind is put at ease in two ways; Inflicting pain on the guilty and suffering pain himself, be it by his own hand or the hands of another. Pain [i]motivates him to fight harder[/i] because it helps silence the horrors lingering in his mind. This interesting little quirk results in Johnathan being rather difficult to disable with pain alone since his mind can and will overcome the failings of his physical body to a insane degree. Bio: Johnathan Harker was orphaned at a young age when his families car crashed, killing his father outright with his mother dying of her injuries days later. While in the back seat of the car, the four year old managed to escape with some light scratches and a few bruises. When none of his distant relatives could be contacted to take him and no godparents in sight, Johnathan entered the system and for years lived in an orphanage run by a local church when he wasn't staying with a foster family. None of the foster homes worked out... As he grew older, Johnathan started to cling to the faith that the orphanage taught with greater and greater zealotry. While many believed it was because he found a love of god, Johnathan confessed to the local priest (Father Russ) one day of the nightmarish imagines that were haunting his thoughts and the horrific ideas that plagued his dreams; Johnathan clung so tightly to the faith because he was terrified of the 'demon' that he was sure was trying to corrupt his soul and possess him. Despite a request for an exorcism to try and force out the 'demon', Father Russ declined on the grounds that he believed such a thing was to extreme for the circumstances, instead trying out a couple of small rituals not performed by the general public to try and help a tormented member of his flock. While they didn't stop the horrible things completely, performing these rituals helped give Johnathan peace of mind... enough for him to dedicate himself to a cause to try and strengthen his besieged soul while giving some of his lesser urges a positive manner in which to be channeled... he picked up a metal bat and dedicated himself to trying to fight the rising street crime that was happening in the city.
