[b]Side:[/b] 
Undecided. He believes in doing the right thing, but only if it benefits him, and the advancement of the human race in some way.

[b]Personality:[/b] 
Pain thinks himself a god among mortals, a man living in a world of cardboard. His intelligence is matched only by his ego, and he believes that those who aren't conduits are a lower species. He is, in general, a kind person. His god-complex makes rather difficult for him, as he cannot cope with losing.

[b]Biography:[/b] 
Born into a rather boring family, Johns life was mundane, to say the least. However, there was some excitement when his parents were killed by a rogue conduit. At the time, he was too young to fully understand it, but came to terms with it in an orphanage, where he lived happily, until he was adopted at the age of 10.

His adoptive parents were interesting folks, a match seemingly made for each other. His mother, a brain surgeon, his father, a teacher of logic and philosophy. They were a happy couple, and provided a loving environment for their son. However, with parents of that career, naturally, their teachings were greatly imposed on his young brain.

He learned a lot, and all very quickly. However, his parents weren't actually around a lot, other than their teaching sessions, and as such, he was glazed of many emotions. Nothing terrible, he didn't actually become a sociopath, but he wasn't the best at social interaction. 

As he grew up, conduits became more and more interesting to him, and he was rather disappointed in the fact that he didn't have any power like that of his idols, the god-like conduits, standing above the mortals. But, he didn't give up- no, he was a self-proclaimed scientist. He experimented!

Many experiments later (and explosions), John had absolutely no powers. He had tested through every chemical he could possibly obtain, and had absolutely no results. Then, he realized something obvious, something he should've tried ages ago. Stress. Many conduits showed their true merit when they were put under stress.

So he went off, on a mission- a mission to be mugged. He knew it was stupid, and he knew that it wouldn't work. But then, something amazing happened. As he laid on the cold concrete, bruised, bleeding, and broke, his power manifested. He felt it deep inside, and he made them hurt. Those who dared mug him. Then those who dared bully him. Then those who looked at him in a strange way. His power was maddeningly great to him, and almost corrupted him.

But when he had thoughts of bringing the pain to his parents, he realized that it had gone too far. He restrained himself, forcing his new dark side deep down, not wanting to let those he loved get hurt. So, he went back to his old self, silently studying, stifling his sheer strength.

[b]Power:[/b]
That's a rather complicated thing. If you were to ask him, he would simply answer pain, to make a long story short, and that's what he referred to it as, upon finding his ability. But it goes much deeper than that. Upon much studying, he has realized that he actually has the power to manipulate the chemical dopamine, found in his brain. Upon overusing his power, he gains massive splitting headaches, and will black out if he takes it too far.

[hider=Powers]
[list]
[*][b]Pain Blast-[/b]
John manipulates the dopamine in the brain of his target, causing massive pain, possibly to the point of blacking out. This takes a lot of energy and concentration, and the longer he can concentrate, the more pain he can cause.[/*]

[*][b]Distraction-[/b]
John has many methods of distracting others. He can give them immense feelings of pleasure, give them an incessant itch, or his most effective way, hit them with a wave of dizziness and nausea. This takes the least energy and concentration of all of his abilities.[/*]

[*][b]Unstoppable-[/b]
By draining his own dopamine, John becomes completely numb, feeling no pain. This allows him to pull off superhuman feats (amazing speed, strength, etc.) without being held back by limitations of pain. This does not mean that he becomes invulnerable. He will still die if he takes a bullet to the chest, he just wont feel it.[/*]

[*][b]Helping Hand-[/b]
Using his control over dopamine, John can command the very cells within peoples bodies, ordering the healing process to speed up, generally used in allies. This takes massive amounts of concentration and energy, and as so, cannot be used in the midst of battle.[/*]

[b]Other:[/b] He is not very combat oriented, as his powers don't allow him to actively fight. He also cannot move around nearly as fast as his fellow conduits, again, his powers don't allow him to. These sacrifices are not in vain, as he can be very powerful when he has the drop on his enemies, and is rather good with planning.
