I think I'm a pretty decent guy... And usually what I think is true.
Name: Norman Carter
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 137 pounds
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Religion: Atheist
Occupation: Accountant
Ability: Norman can control the molecules in the air, which basically means he can create tornadoes and other similar things. Usually he can create a dust devil in a matter of seconds, a small tornado in a few minutes, an average tornado in a few hours, and a full-on hurricane in a day.
Personality: Norman could be described as socially awkward. He prefers not to talk to people, and if forced into a conversation will often stutter, stammer, and generally be awkward, similar to his namesake. Unlike his namesake, however, he isn't a murderous psychopath, so that's good. Anyhow, Norman loves to do math problems and also likes to think things over, which of course led him to his job as an accountant. In his free time, Norman programs sites for a few extra bucks and will occasionally hack into user accounts on social media and forums 'for shits and giggles' as he puts it. His interests include math, programming, hacking, and classic rock.
Background: Norman was born into a family of cinematography fans, and was named after Norman Bates from the Alfred Hitchcock movie 'Psycho'. He was the youngest of four children: his eldest brother, Stanley (named after the director Stanley Kubrick), who was four years older than him, his eldest sister, Rachael (named after the female lead in Blade Runner), who was two years older than him, and his brother Luke (named after Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars trilogy), who a year older than him. He preferred to play alone and isolate himself from his family, only talking to them and being near them during dinner, holidays, and on family movie night. Because of his constant isolation, Norman never really developed social skills, and went to school barely able to speak, and, of course, was insulted and beat up.
It seemed that every day, Norman came home with a new bruise or a new scab, until one day; after a boy who was much larger than him buried his toy truck in sand, Norman pulled the toy out and wailed on the larger boy with it, hitting him HARD in various places and leaving him with a broken wrist and quite a few bruises. After that, no one picked on Norman all the way through elementary school, and even through some of middle school, until one day he was stuffed into a locker for his small frame by the same larger boy and the insults resumed. Of course, Norman didn't really care, and continued to isolate himself. The insults increased when it was found out that he had straight A's in all his classes and all the teachers started to like him, and it remained this way all the way through high school.
After he graduated, Norman went to college and graduated with a bachelor's degree in engineering. So what was the perfect job for him? Sitting in front of a desk all day, pressing buttons and keeping track of finances. Strangely, Norman enjoys his job and the people there, but of course kept his isolated attitude and only speaks when spoken to.
