[u][b]Powers:[/b][/u] Brett Hastings is a Half Atlantean who studied for most of his childhood at the [url= https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Silent_School]Silent School[/url]. As such, has the following powers. 
Atlantean Physiology - The Atlanteans are offshoots of humanity that are biologically adapted to the deep ocean environment. All their abilities are by-products of their bodies being adapted to survive unprotected in the tremendous pressures of the ocean depths.
[indent] Amphibious Nature: Typhoon, as an Atlantean, can breath underwater and on land. He can be immersed indefinitely without suffering any ill effects but being Atlantean Hybrid due to his human lineage, he can survive on land longer than an average Atlantean. This length can be extended by the humidity in the atmosphere but eventually prolonged dehydration will weaken him thus he must return to aquatic environment at various period.
Enhanced Vision: His ability to see in the murky depths of the ocean allows him exceptional night vision while on land. He has claimed that his eyes are adapted to see at 6,000 fathoms (or 36,000 feet below the surface of the water).
Enhanced Hearing: several times more acute than human capacity.
Enhanced Smell: several times more acute than human capacity. 
Superhuman Strength
Superhuman Stamina
Superhuman Durability  
Superhuman Reflexes: Typhoon’s reflexes are on the order of 12-15 times faster than a normal human. [/indent]
Magic - 
[indent] Electricity Generation: Using magic, Typhoon can create bolts of electricity and throw them. 
Hydrokinesis: He inherited the ability to mystically control water and water-based solutions for a variety of effects. He can manipulate water currents, create whirlpools and water columns, and boil or freeze vast bodies of water.
Mystical Detection: He can sense and locate the presence of mystical beings and identify them as such on sight. 
Connection with the [url=https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/The_Clear]The Clear[/url]: Typhoon can communicate with marine life and even make them obey him. His connection to The Clear also bolsters his Hydrokinetic abilities.[/indent] 
[u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] Brett Hastings is a reluctant hero. He wasn’t always. When he was younger he really enjoyed fighting crime and protecting the ocean. However, he was in the game long. He lost a few too many friends. Saw the world wasn’t changing for the better. So, he got out. Some other Atlantean Mystic or Royal stepped up and took his place. He didn’t know or care. Someone always did. He still has his code of honour though. He won’t stand idly by while witnessing a crime. He will step in and help. He just doesn’t actively go out and look for crime. At least he doesn’t mean to. With his apartment in the bad part of town, and most nights spent in shitty dive bars, he often finds himself stepping in to stop petty crime. 
[u][b]History:[/b][/u] Brett Hastings was born in Atlantis, to an Atlantean mother and Human Father. Growing up in Atlantis, it was discovered that he had a knack for the mystic arts. Despite being half human he was reluctantly accepted into the Silent School. Despite being mocked and ridiculed during his studies for being half human, the human half seemed to allow him a stronger connection to the mystical energies. Brett never knew his father, but it was hypothesised by the Silent School Faculty that he may have been a powerful magician. 
When Brett was sixteen he made a mistake that would severely injure three other students. As such, he was kicked out of the Silent School. Being half Human meant that few people were willing to support him, so he made it his mission to prove himself. So, he set off on a pilgrimage to prove to others, and most importantly himself, that he was Atlantean. Traveling to all the known Kingdoms of Atlantis. First traveling to Kingdom of the Fishermen, where he learned how Atlantean technology worked. Here he created his hydro pulse pistols that would serve as his sidearms for the rest of his journey, and into his heroic career. Then he made his way to the Brinedom. Where he fought and trained with the crustacean-like people that lived there. To prove his martial prowess to the Brinedom and earn their respect, Brett was tasked with spending a month in the Trench. By using bioluminescent magic and locking himself in a cave, he survived and returned to the Brinedom with a head of a Trench Dweller. So, he continued his pilgrimage. Making his way to Xebel. Where he learned to master his mystic abilities. Making connection with the Clear, and seeing how magic could fuse with Atlantean technology. It was here he learned of the Kingdom of the Deserters and their fabled forge. So, he once again packed up, this time leaving the ocean. Heading inland to find the Kingdom of the Deserters. 
Once he found it, he put all he had learnt into practice to forge a trident. Combining Atlantean magic and technology to make a weapon worthy of Atlantis. 
With his new Weapon he returned to Atlantis. Only to be greeted by none other than the king. Brett Hastings, who was now twenty one, had a reputation now. One that the King had heard. Brett was pushed into the role of Protector of the Seas. Which lasted all of four years before he got tired of living in the King’s shadow. The world never changed. So, Brett left the ocean and moved to Second City, where he bought a shitty apartment. Worked at a water treatment plant during the day, and drank at shitty bars at night. 
[b][u]Equipment:[/u][/b] The only equipment of note that Brett Hastings still has are his pistols and Trident. Though the Trident is hung up as decoration in the bar he frequents as decoration, and the blasters are in a locked box under his bed.
