[indent]
[list][*]Fair Hand-to-hand combatant.  While expert martial artists could probably beat him on technique, he tends to hold his own in most brawls.
[*]Advanced Memory.  Not a superhuman trait, but Zane's ability to recall memories is considered impressive and has lead to bouts of depression when he find himself unable to forget a particularly traumatizing experience.  It has also served him a great deal in his education as he find himself quick to learn just about anything and can recall that information with great detail.
[*]Has a particular knack for playing cards, Texas Hold 'Em being his game of choice.
[*]Very computer savvy.  He is no hacker, but is well versed in modern technology.[/list]

[color=a9a9a9][u]Powers[/u][/color]
[indent]
[list][*][b]The Gargoyle:[/b] In Zane's every day life, he is as vulnerable as any other person around him.  His strength and abilities are also comparable to people of his size and build.  His superhuman abilities spring forth when he engages his other form, The Gargoyle, which he can do at will and for an indefinite amount of time, for reasons he is not quite sure of.  All subsequent powers will be exclusive to his gargoyle form.  As The Gargoyle, Zane has batlike wings, sharpened claws, vampiric looking fangs, small horns that protrude from his skull, a prehensile tail, and loss of color in his skin, giving him a grey tone overall.  His eyes also emanate an emerald hue in this form.
[*][b]Durability:[/b] As if he were made out of stone, The Gargoyle is incredibly durable.  While bullets bring pain, they are not an automatic death sentence.  Shooting him is like shooting a grizzly bear.  Send enough bullets and eventually he'll go down, but he's going to put up a fight.  Fire does not particularly bother him in terms of physical pain.
[*][b]Regeneration:[/b] If Zane sustains a significant injury and then changes to The Gargoyle, the healing process of that injury will have advanced greatly due to the biological transformation.  Injuries sustained as The Gargoyle will heal faster than a human, but only by half as long.  
[*][b]Strength: [/b]The Gargoyle is extremely strong, able to flip over a vehicle with some extended effort. Able to lift a vehicle over his head with quite a bit more effort, capping his strength potential.
[*][b]Flight:[/b] The Gargoyle is able to utilize his wings to execute flight.  His wings operate similarly to a birds, so his speed in the air is proportionately accurate to his size.  His wings are strong enough that he can carry someone of equal size while in flight, but that would be it before it becomes too heavy to get airborne.
[*][b]Night Vision:[/b] The Gargoyle can see perfectly in the dark and has also gifted Zane with slight night vision.
[/list][/indent]
[color=a9a9a9][u]Weaknesses[/u][/color]
[indent]
[list][*][b]Bright Lights:[/b]Since The Gargoyle came into his life, Zane's eyes were changed, becoming quite advanced in the dark and more vulnerable in the light.  Because of this, Zane is nearly always wearing sunglasses. The Gargoyle will also become stunned for a moment if he has to suffer sudden brightness.
[*][b]Human Form[/b] When Zane is just Zane, he's as vulnerable to any human's weaknesses as the next person.
[*][b]Naivety:[/b] Zane does not know where his powers come from, nor does he understand how they work.  While he can adeptly utilize them, he's barely tapped his full potential.
[*][b]Water: [/b]Zane has a phobia of water, even before The Gargoyle became a part of his life.  Incidentally, The Gargoyle loses a lot of his combat proficiency when submerged, making him very vulnerable to attacks.

[color=a9a9a9][u]How did Arrowcaster find you?[/u][/color]
[indent]Rumors of The Gargoyle hunting criminals at night have begun to circulate in the local criminal circles.  Most of them don't believe, but they pass along the bizarre tales nonetheless.  Once Arrowcaster heard the stories, he decided to investigate it for himself. 
 
Lo and behold, when Arrowcaster followed criminals in Zane's town, he soon found The Gargoyle striking them down.[/indent]
[center][color=a9a9a9][h1]Biography[/h1][/color][/center]
[color=a9a9a9][u]Character Bio[/u][/color]
[indent]Zane has been a college student, nearing his graduation.  While he went to school during the day, he became an assistant worker at a church cemetery at night, helping the groundskeeper maintain the property, set the tombstones and perform other labor intensive tasks.

One night, while on the job, he felt like he heard a voice coming from one of the mausoleums.  There were no names on the structure, just decorative stone carvings and a lone gargoyle sitting at its roof's peak.  Hesitantly, Zane went inside to check it out.  As he entered, he saw what appeared to be a silhouette of something inhuman.  Before he could react, the living shadow sprung forth and everything went black.

Zane woke up at the hospital, the groundskeeper having reported the incident.  Once they gave him a clean bill of health and an explanation of dehydration that led to fainting, Zane went back to his apartment ready to dismiss the whole ordeal as just a silly tale to tell at parties.  That's when the change first came upon him.  Suddenly and violently, Zane transformed into The Gargoyle.  

Over the past few months, he's been learning to control it and to use it for good.  He's mastered triggering the switch and flying, but he is far from fluent in all of his abilities.

[color=a9a9a9][u]One Year Later[/u][/color]
[indent]After a year's worth of experience and training, he'll eventually uncover the fact that he can manipulate stone, using this new ability in a variety of different ways such as a means for constructing weapons and armor.[/indent] [/hider]
