Rating
Sexual Content 2: Sexual content is permitted. References and writing about genitalia and sex acts are permitted, but explicit detail is not. Fade to black, or use the dotdotdot rule. (Let's keep it PG-13.)
Violence 2: Graphic violence is permitted. Explicit description or in-game narration violence is allowed.
Despite these ratings, keep in mind that there is a limit, and you should not cross it just to garner attention. Also, resorting to curse words is also like adding senseless fluff to your posts.

The Legacy |
Personality: Vernon is a thrill seeker, interested in being in the heart of the action. He is active at work and at play, looking to get the most out of life. "Live in the moment" would be his personal motto if he had one. He is quick to see the humor in most situations. History: Vernon was raised the middle child in a suburban home outside of Seattle. He was a mediocre student, but excelled in extreme outdoor sports. Snowboarding, mountain climbing, skateboarding, bungee jumping -- anything that would give him a rush. Eventually he began skydiving and BASE jumping. After dropping out of college, Vernon and a friend went on an adventure tour across Asia. They found remote cliffs to climb and jump from. While in the Western Ghats mountain range in India, the pair were attacked by a meta-human named Rakshasa. Rakshasa had been imprisoned long ago by ancient spirits of the air known as the Vayu. Over the centuries the Vayu had grown lax and withdrawn from the world. During a moment of inattention they inadvertently allowed the meta-human to escape from his remote mountain prison. Upon breaking free, Rakshasa went on a rampage. His goal was simply to kill and destroy, creating as much carnage as he could in retribution for his long imprisonment. Fortunately for humanity, the area was far from human population centers. Unfortunately for Vernon, however, he and his friend happened to be BASE jumping in that region that day. Rakshasa struck as the pair of friends were planning their next jump on top of a mountain. Vernon's friend was killed and devoured, but Vernon managed to fight his way to the edge of the cliff. Although mortally wounded, he leaped and pulled his chute, drifting onto a rocky ledge high in the mountains. The Vayu found him there, barely alive. Feeling remorse for their error, the Vayu nursed Vernon back to health, imparting some of their essence to him. Over the course of several weeks, while his body healed, Vernon learned the ways of his new friends. The contact caused a strange reaction in the latent meta-gene present in his own DNA. Through this he gained their ability to transform into a living cyclone. The Vayu named him "Guardian of the West Wind" in their otherworldy tongue. After recuperating, Vernon headed back to civilization. He now seeks justice for his fallen friend by working to rein in evil meta-humans and prevent them from harming others. He is also actively pursuing the villain, Rakshasa, in order to return him to the Vayu. |
The Powers and Weaknesses |
Powers Transform into Aerial Form: Vortex can assume a gaseous state. While in this form he can be subtle and flow through cracks or he can become a raging whirlwind. The buffeting winds he creates are powerful enough to lift a person off the ground and hurl them several feet. He can also manipulate his body to create and send out miniature air funnels and gusts of wind. Speak With Elementals: Through his long association with the Vayu spirits of the air, Vernon can communicate with the voices on the wind. They can give him information he would not otherwise be able to perceive directly himself. He can also ask them for direct assistance, like having them attack with their wind, but the Vayu are usually reluctant to interfere in the human world. Weakness(es) Claustrophobia Vernon is terrified of being in confined spaces. This fear stems from a mountaineering accident where he was buried alive in an avalanche. Impulsiveness Due to his nature, Vernon is frequently prone to leaping before looking. Or just plain leaping without even bothering to look at all. RP Mechanics RP Mechanic(s): Vortex can become a miniature tornado and attack all foes within a narrow 5' radius circle. He can slam multiple targets as a gust of wind, forcing them backwards. He can also aim more fine-tuned air blasts to manipulate smaller objects at a distance, such as snatching a weapon from a holster or flipping a switch. Vortex is nearly impervious to physical damage when he assumes his gaseous state, though forceful dispersal of his body causes him harm. Energy attacks do partial damage. Mental attacks can harm him normally. His maximum speed flying is around 20 mph, which is about how fast he can sprint on foot. In Aerial Form he appears vaporous and wispy, with constantly-twisting currents within his body. His eyes remain solid white, like cumulus clouds on a bright day. Items/Minions None at present.
