[hider=Hardy Jay]Name: Hardy Jay

Alias: Buck Thorn

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 190 lbs.

Personality: Hardy is energetic, outgoing, and optimistic.

Powers/Abilities/Weaknesses Description: 

Powers: Hardy can alter the surfaces of objects close to him (including his own skin) to produce multiple hard, thorn-like projections of varying length (about 25 cm max.).  On his own body, he can cause rows of tiny projections to improve his grip or footing, or make his skin abrasive and painful to the touch. It has not occurred to him to turn his fists into cestus-like weapons, or use elbow spikes and the like.  At short range only (maybe 10 meters or so), he can use this ability to cause objects to cling together (like cockleburs), trip or tangle up another person, or ward or block off a small area.

Abilities: Hardy has a broad general knowledge of machines, plumbing, and carpentry.  His physical abilities are in no way "Super," but he's a strapping farm boy who excelled at high school sports.  While not a formally-trained fighter, he knows how to scrap.  

Weaknesses: Hardy is a very picture of the naïve farm boy trying to make it in the big city.  His naivete and gullibility means he gets fooled or misled more than many.

Backstory: Hardy won a trip to LA after winning a talent contest in Kansas.  He decided to stay and try to become a movie star.  He hasn't had much luck, though, and makes a meager living as a handy-man.  He is happy to use his powers to help those that need helping, but his dream is that somehow his powers can lead to a career in the movies.
