History:
Mick was born into a reasonably poor family, but one who always looked out for him, his dad left when he was just a kid, leaving him alone with his mum. He tried very hard at school and this, combined with his good intelligence allowed him to get a scholarship to a good school. He still had to pass through the rough parts of town to get there every morning though. Growing up he once saw a kid on the bus being bullied, the kid defended himself but was set-upon by the gang later. This inspired Mick to don the mask for the first time, to exact revenge without being recognized. Mick began to become obsessed with shutting down the local gangs, hacking their facebooks, foiling their plans and reporting them to the police.

During this time Mick's mother became increasingly ill, one night when he was tailing a particularly violent thug his phone rang in his pocket, he was compromised. As he turned to flee he was set upon and brutally beaten down. When he returned home his mother had passed away and he was ignited with an almighty fury! Grabbing his bow from the shed he charged back after the thug and shot him clean in the neck, killing him in one. Disgusted by what he had done he vowed never to kill again.

Mick was now 18, he had no parents and nowhere to live Mick ditched England and moved across the pond to live with his old best friend, now budding entrepreneur Trevor Stork and fights crime there instead. Trevor doesn't know Mick's alter-ego, but is becoming increasingly suspicious over his activities.

Personality:
Mick Jones: A lonely uni student from Nottingham who spends most of his time bumming around or on the computer, he also has a keen interest in MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) and Archery. He generally prefers to avoid human contact as he has been driven to almost paranoia by being beaten up and bullied on his estate where he grew up. There is nothing about Mick that screams leadership, or even teamwork, he likes to keep himself to himself, making sure his work is always handed in on time, his reluctance to socialize with his peers has caused them to give up with him. He is glad about this. Mick isn't a good decision maker, often hesitating. He is taking a history degree but has no idea where this will lead him. He is indecisive about his future.

KnightSkye: In his alter-ego he is calm, cool and relaxed. He feels a beautiful freedom in having disguised his identity and not dealing with repercussions in his normal life. KnightSkye is inspired by his childhood hero- Robin Hood as well as some of the star heroes in America. Having no discernible powers, he doesn't actually describe himself as a hero, just a vigilante. He feels uneasy having people looking up to him as he sees his role in society as a necessity rather than something to be proud of. Generally he manages to keep a cool head in combat, though if the right buttons are pressed he can loose it. He rarely talks as KnightSkye, especially during combat.

As Both Mick and Knight he is proud of both his Nottingham and English roots, which can sometimes get him into trouble with over patriotic Americans.

Powers:
Good on the computer- KnightSkye can hack quite well; nothing phenomenal, and certainly nothing high security, but he can definitely dig up dirt on his enemies.
Excellent archery- Compared to some heroes his archery is nothing to shout about, but compared to the average punter he is very good, he can hit an apple at 200 yards.
Reasonable fighting prowess- Having trained Martial arts for a few years KnightSkye is OK at fighting. A brown belt in judo and a 1-0 amateur record in muay thai prove his abilities.
Freerunning- KnightSkye has spent a lot of time running around cites so has gotten quite good at it.

SPD:2 (Well trained)
DUR:4 (Strong, has Armor plates and kevlar suit)
INT: 4 (Very smart, can hack)

Roleplay Sample:
It was lashing it down. It was England. It was to be expected.
"I should have designed a hood into this" KnightSkye thought despondently about his apparel. He crept forward across the rooftops keeping his eye on the target, a particularly nasty thug whom he suspected might be at the center of a drug cartel. The target stopped, mid-alleyway. The air grew tout as KnightSkye's breath quickened "This is it" he thought, sliding quietly down a drainpipe. He had to get closer he knew as his mobile phone didn't have a camera zoom and if he were to... *The Phone Rings*

Silence...

Slowly the brute turns, his bright black tattoos glimmering in the rain. KnightSkye is frozen to the spot, suddenly he isn't KnightSkye at all but just some idiot boy who is scared, alone and fearful for his life. Frozen like a rabbit in the headlights. The thug takes a swing for him which he easily dodges, but his adversary brings up a knee behind it which doubles him over and an elbow behind that which renders him unconscious. [u]

a few things, 1 I don't understand why you have the 1 EP point, 2 your history and personality should both be a little lengthier and separate. Also, 5 END is a super human ability.

Oh, I thought EP was for like super-human talents? Also for some reason I thought END stood for endurance, is there a thread that details each of the skills? nevermind, got it

I'll alter history/personality now, Thanks for your help

No problem, any further questions feel free to ask away my new friend.
