I’m not sure what to do with the Example Scene, so that’s not filled out yet, but how does this look so far?

Name: Dr. Florian Pine
Title: Poison Oak
Background:  Male, 30, green white, Ecoterrorist/Botanist/biochemist

Appearance: 

Summary: Poison Oak is an Ecoterrorist. He uses his plant based powers to commit crimes to make things better for plants. Which often involves hurting/killing people. Or he commits crimes to make money to fund his experiments. He’s not out for world domination. He just wants to hurt the world that has been so cruel to him.

His biggest crime was overruning his city with plants, and turning the citizens into plant hybrids like himself that he could control. The local heroes managed to stop him before this fully came to fruition.

Legacy: Growing up, Florian had always been a strange young man. He was fascinated by plants, which others found to be odd. He was often bullied by others because he was physically weaker, psychologically delicate, and because of his interest in plants. Due to the bullying, Florian usually preferred plants to people. Plants didn’t judge him.

In spite of the bullying, Florian (who often went by his last name Pine because people made fun of his first name.) was an intelligent young man. He eventually earned a P.hD in Botany and Biochemistry, and was employed with a University, while under the age of thirty. There, he was still bullied by most of his colleagues. Only one colleague was nice to him. Dr. Evan Dendron. A handsome male scientist, and the only one who showed Pine any ounce of respect. He defended him from bullies, and was the only one who believed in Pine’s work. Pine had developed a crush on him.

Pine was developing a method that would allow humans to photosynthesize, thus solving world hunger. However the Dean of the University showed no interest because they couldn’t profit from it. As the funding for his experiments was about to be cut, Pine performed an experiment on himself to prove his theories were correct. However, something went wrong, and Pine was transformed into a half-plant half human creature.

The process gave him his abilities, and also gave him more confidence, but also drove him nuts... He killed the scientists who bullied him, as well as the Dean. He then attempted to woo Evan. He rejected Pine because he already had a girlfriend. Plus, there was the whole murder thing. Evan wasn’t down fot that. Heartbroken, and a little insane, Pine held him hostage, and attempted to perform the same experiment to turn the object of his affection into a plant too. He was ultimately stopped before anything could happen. However, from then on, Florian Pine was dead. Poison Oak had been born. He became one of the most feared villians of his universe.

Personality: 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. He often preferred his plants more than other people’s company. After the accident, Pine developed a lot more confidence, but also drove him a little nuts. He still is fascinated with plants, but now he treats them like his babies.

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. He resorted to villiany to hurt the world that had been cruel to him.

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. 

At times Pine can be flirty with people he finds attractive. He’s bisexual, but prefers men.

Signature Ability: Chlorokinesis: Poison Oak has the ability to control all forms of plant life on a molecular level.  He also has expertise in Botany and biochemistry that lets him develop mutant plants, and create and bring to life plants that were long thought to be extinct.

Apex Abilities:

Plant Physiology: 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. He is physically stronger and faster while under sunlight. Being cut off from sunlight can weaken him, and eventually kill him. He can turn his skin from green back into a normal tone to blend in with society. He prefers his green skin though. 

Regeneration: If you cut off a limb, it will grow back. Even if you kill him, he’ll just regrow somewhere else eventually.

Pheromones:  His body can produce pheromones to control the behavior of others. Those with strong wills can usually resist though.

Poison:  His body can produce a variety of plant based toxins. They can have a variety of effects from merely knocking people unconscious, making people happy, or outright killing them. He often delivers his Poison through a kiss. 

Poison Immunity: He is also immune to Poisons himself

Name: Dr. Florian Pine
Title: Dr. Pine
Background: 30, male, white, botanist/biochemist

Appearance: 

Summary:  He was ultimately stopped by a group of heroes from his universe, and put him in prison. Pine swore he would be back. He always came back. He doesn’t remember how it happened, but somewhere at this point was when he was forced to join the Redeemer Corps

Personality: Much of his personality remains the same, however, Dr. Pine is more toned down than Poison Oak is. He still likes plants, but isn’t as obsessive. He’s also not murderous... yet. Now Pine is more reserved like he was before his accident. He’s also sarcastic and bitter. His feelings on humanity flip flops.

Signature Ability: Pine retains his ability to control plants. Though, admittedly he’s not as powerful as he once was.

Redeemed Abilities: His other powers seem to be gone. He’s no longer part plant, and is just a human who controls plants. At least for now. However, He does still retain his knowledge of Botany and Biochemistry. Theoretically, he could recreate some of his lost powers in a lab. Unfortunately, that requires time, preparation, and oftentimes access to rare and exotic plants that are just not available given the circumstances.

Example Scene: Just a short in-character scene that should demonstrate their personality and modus opperandi.

Zaria remained nervous and jumpy. She'd seen enough tv matches to know that getting a few hits in didn't mean winning a match. But if Magnet could keep this up, then... Images of the class applauding her and the shiny TM prize in her hands floated into her head. How exciting would that be? And that would surely prove her father wrong for doubting her. I could be a legend if I win this! Maybe then she would become as popular as the students they'd seen earlier. People would be begging her to battle them! 

"You and Rocky are pretty tough, Tim, but we can't back down! Keep it up Magnet, and Thundershock again!" Perhaps she sounded like a broken record, but Magnet only had a few moves he knew so far, and they were lucky they had a single move that could actually damage a Rock type. 

"Maaag." He charged up again once more, swiveling his single eye around a few times before settling on the target and letting loose a wave of electricity

Tim slapped his face with his hand. Of course the paralysis would come back to bite him. Essentially, giving Magnet a free hit. For a moment, Tim actually had hope that he could actually win this battle. That hope went out the window with that last attack. At this point, there really that many options left. “Oh.. um.. thanks... Tim mumbled while shuffling his feet. Not really knowing what else to say. Rocky only had one move that could deal damage. “Rocky go in for another Tackle!” 

Rocky barked, and then charged ahead.
