Name: Edison Wright
Age: 42
Appearance:
Because of a small amount of vanity and a sense of loss from the years spent behind bars, he has reverted his appearance to that of his 30 year old self.
Personality: Edison Wright was always a private individual, reluctant to talk about himself. He likes to make jokes, even at the expense of others but his constant good mood and frequent compliments take away the sting of his comments. He is a man of his word and tries his best not to outright lie but will withhold information to spare someones feelings.
Attribute: Self [Concept]
Edison's Attribute is himself. He has gained the ability to manipulate his physiology from outward changes to his appearance down to blocking pain and causing changes on a small scale. The applications are numerous and limited only by his knowledge but there are a limited number that he has a good deal of practice at that can be put into effect very quickly. He is also supernaturally aware of the workings of his body and any abnormalities that may occur.
Abilities: In the past he used firearms and now is no different. Instead of being a calm and collect gunman with a rifle he is an aggressive attacker with a shotgun that overpowers enemies at close range with vicious rushing attacks.
Skills: Lately his interests have leaned towards learning as much as he can about anatomy. He has little free time between jobs. Previously he enjoyed detailed oriented hobbies such as woodworking and welding.
History:
Edison was once a career soldier specializing in assaulting buildings and clearing rooms. He worked long deployments and inevitably it put strain on his marriage, especially with a young daughter in the equation.
His wife filed for divorce and won custody of their child while he was overseas. He returned to find his life turned upside down. Edison moved into a small apartment of his own and applied for a training position so that he could stay at home and possibly win back some visiting rights for his daughter.
His mistake came when he made a misguided attempt to surprise her on her birthday, picking her up from school to take to dinner for her birthday. His daughter was happy but her mother was not and called the police. He was arrested and found guilty of kidnapping. He was sentenced harshly.
Shortly after beginning his time in prison a Rift appeared in the jailyard, pulling him in along with two guards. The three emerged changed and the prison system was given a problem to solve. Edison was given an opportunity. Sign a contract and explore Rifts for the remainder of his prison term and at the end his entire record would be expunged. He might even be able to see his girl again.
Edison was on his best behavior going forward and the two guards that had gained their powers alongside him became his handlers between jobs. More than that even, they became his only friends. He earned a reputation for integrity on the job, dependability and a legendary effectiveness. Missions that included him had a much lower casualty rate than was normal.

- Healing: Edison can accelerate his rate of healing given time to rest. In the short term he can simply control the flow of blood and stop bleeding at the source. He can also shut off pain.
- Sensory Enhancement: He enhances one or multiple of his senses. Care must be taken as over stimulation of a single aspect can overwhelm or incapacitate him.
- Adrenaline Burst: Full control of his adrenal glands let's him activate them at will, giving himself a burst of energy, strength and clarity at any time.
- Strength: Edison can effortlessly build muscle without the effort required to do so. This requires a large amount of raw materials and leaves him ravenously hungry.
