[u]Natural/Racial Abilities:[/u] Being part plant, he can breathe CO2, allowing him to survive in places that lack oxygen. He can also Photosynthesize, so he can go long periods of time without eating or sleeping (though he can still do both if he chooses.) He does require sunlight and water to function. Being cut off from sunlight can weaken him, and eventually kill him. He is also sensitive to heat and cold.

He can turn his skin from green back into a normal tone. He prefers his green skin though.

[u]Distinguishing Features:[/u]  The Green skin is hard to miss. Although he doesn’t have that all the time… There is always some form of plant life on him or around him.
[u]Appearance:[/u] Pine is a tall and lean young man. He stands at six feet tall, and has a slim physique. He has a heart shaped face with a firm jaw. His eyes are as green as the forest. He has a mop of blonde hair on top of his head

Pine doesn’t have much of a taste for fashion in his day to day life. He dresses in casual jeans and T-shirts, often green in color and with floral patterns on them. Then other days he just wears floral patterns head to toe. He has even been known to wear flowers in his hair. In all of his outfits, he often wears a pair of thick green glasses.

[u]Personality:[/u] Once upon a time, Pine was a shy and nerdy young man. He didn’t have an easy time socializing with people, and also didn’t have much confidence. After gaining his powers, he developed a bit more confidence, but he's still awkward when it comes to interactions with people. He is interested in science, and is particularly fascinated with plants. He often prefers his plants more than other people’s company. He hopes to one day become a scientist himself one day.

Some days, Pine hates humanity. His experience with being bullied, along with the way people take nature for granted, makes him think the world would be better off without humans. He can be rude to people when he first meets them. He can still be rude even after he first meets them. While he’s not opposed to using his powers for violent means, even outright killing people if necessary, he does know he needs some people around to produce CO2 for his plants to function.

There are other times when Pine longs for human companionship. If anyone shows him even the slightest hint of kindness, he will be all for it. He’ll cling to that person and be their best friend. At least until he perceives they did him wrong in some way. In general, his emotions can vary wildly at any given time.

[u]History:[/u] Florian Pine was born to a pair of scientist parents. They studied plantlife, both in the lab and out in the field. They were often busy with their work, so they weren't around very much to raise their son. Sometimes they took him on research trips with them, but when they did, they often left him to his own devices. Even though his parents didn't show their affections all that much, Pine always knew he wanted to be a scientist just like them.

Growing up, Pine always had a fascination for plants. Something he got from his parents. On his free time, he would frolic in the flowers. He saw how often people would casually leave their trash on the floor in the forest, which could harm the environment. Pine would tell them to pick up their trash, and they'd just laugh him off. Others found his intense fascination to be odd. He was often bullied by others because he was physically weaker, psychologically delicate, and in their eyes he was just plain weird.

He would be picked on, beaten up, called demeaning nicknames, every kind of bullying you could imagine. He was even made fun of because his first name was Florian, which was weird. He also had to sit alone during lunch because no one else wanted to sit with him. Him trying to defend himself by saying it means flower did not help the matter.

Despite all the bullying, there was person who seemed to show him kindness. A boy named Evan often defended him from bullies. Evan was handsome and one of the most popular boys in school. Pine was shocked him of all people would take the time to defend him. They hung out together sometimes, and it was the first time Pine actually had a friend! He finally had somebody to sit with during lunch. It didn't take long for Pine to get a crush on Evan. After a long while, Pine finally built up the nerve to ask Evan out on a date. Evan politely turned him down. Pine was not happy about this, but he was able to move on with his life.

Than he heard Evan talking to his girlfriend in the hallway. She witnessed Pine asking her boyfriend out, and wanted to know what happened. Evan basically admitted to his girlfriend that he didn't like Pine all that much, and thought he was as weird as everyone else did. The only reason he defended him was out of pity. He told his girlfriend she was the most important person in his life, and kissed her. Now, Pine was devasted.

He ran away to his family’s garden. That always made him feel better. He had been there countless times. But this time, something happened. When he was done, he found that his skin turned green, and plants seemed to grow around him. He quickly showed his parents this new development. His parents were fascinated. Pine was immediately enrolled into Anepool Academy so he could learn to control his new abilities. Pine was glad to be away from those people who made his life hell.

He is now on his senior year of school. He mostly keeps himself at arms length from others, and is mostly devoted to his studies.
