@King Kindred i like your character quite a bit. i, of course, have a few things id like to run by you if you wouldn't mind tweaking things a little bit.
First off, I like his skills. Blake would likely bounce ideas off of him to come up with scenarios and such and he might just become the unofficial second in command, who knows?
well to start off my critiques, about his power. Doesn't seem too op or anything, thats not the problem, I just imagine there needing to be some sort of flaw in his earthquake abilities. You know how Blake obviously cannot use her powers during the day? That is her crutch so to speak. I think he needs something like that just so he's not so perfect you know? Perhaps something like, the angrier he gets, the stronger his earthquakes are, but the less control he has over them. It could cause for some character development as he struggles to overcome his anger issues in fear of losing it and hurting some people unintentionally. like I said, just a thought. to me he would seem a bit more human that way. :)
reading a bit farther I can see you put limits on his water abilities, saying that the effects have a time limit if he doesn't stay in contact with water. There is an acceptable crutch. very nice. the destructive part of me wants him to get pissed and start an earthquake underwater and create a tsunami that destroys all the earth! *evil laughs*
Lastly, so jealous Troy has riptide. *cries* accepted! he is accepted!
