Beck

IMAGE: http://iaza.com/work/110128C/iaza19193883978000.png

Full Name: Beck Braddock
Alias: Impact
Gender: Male
Alignment: Hero
Placement: Leader of the VANGUARD GrimHaven unit
Age: 23
Ethnicity: African American/Welsh and Russian mix
Species: Bighorned Mountain Sheep

Height: 6'3 (not including horns)
Weight: 200 lbs
Hair Color/Style: Dirty blonde
Eyes: Hazel
Complexion: A rich, natural tan
Defining Features: Dark ram horns atop his head. Also, a gang tattoo on his left arm
Build: Slim athletic build with prominent muscle definition
Uniform: Black and brown attire; a pair of loose/baggy pants and a fitted, sleeveless top. Also black army boots
Civvies: Generally different shades of grey and black, t-shirts, hoodies and baggy pants. A lot of casual 'street' wear

Abilities: Beck is capable of absorbing energies to increase his physical attributes. At his lowest level, he is just slightly stronger than an average man, but the more energies he absorbs, the stronger, faster, and more durable he becomes. He can absorb any form of energy, save for unstable energies like electricity or static, even energies created by friction or force, so taking direct hits (ie. punches) also increases his strength. (other energies include eating lots of carbs, solar rays, kinetic energies, batteries, etc.)
Extra Talents: A capable fighter when it comes to a more 'street' style of fighting. He's got quite a bit of street smarts as well
Strengths: He has a conceivably unlimited level of power, so long as he can absorb enough energies. Physical, close-range fighting is his specialty, and is very capable in taking on more than one enemy at a time.
Weaknesses: The more he exerts himself, the faster he depletes his energy reserves, and if he depletes them entirely, he has little to fight with save for his skills with street-fighting. He's also vulnerable to unstable energies, which will harm him like any normal man

Personality: Beck is laid back and quite mature for his age, taking on a sort of 'big brother' relationship with a lot of his teammates. He isn't harsh or demanding unless it's absolutely necessary, and doesn't take too many things seriously. He's responsible, however, and always puts his team before himself. He is known for having a bit of a temper when set of, and in this state he can be rather unrelenting, or even cruel. He's a bit gullible at times, still getting used to his new role as leader, so it's not below him to make mistakes now and again.
Likes: Eating (he eats a LOT), sparring or exercising, relaxing and chilling out, listening to music, caffeine
Dislikes: Intimate conversations or otherwise expressing emotions, stick-in-the-muds, fruity/sweet smells
Phobias: Water, he thinks he'll sink

Relationships:
Relatives: Estranged parents and older sister
Pets: None
Origins: GrimHaven, USA
History:
Beck was born and raised in the slums of GrimHaven, a hard lifestyle for anyone, let alone a young boy who realizes he has special abilities. Growing up in such a volatile environment didn't do him any good, and by the time he was twelve he was getting involved in the gangs and fighting in the area. His powers helped him develop a bit of a reputation for being a strong fighter and a force to be reckoned with, which attracted the attention of other 'gifted' thugs, and thus a new gang was formed with him at the center of it. They were called, appropriately, the BoneBreakers, and as they grew more confident and sure of themselves, it was only a matter of time before they crossed paths with VANGUARD.

On one particular encounter, the leader of VANGUARD at the time--SilverWing--noticed something in Beck that he didn't see in the other thugs. He pursued the young fighter over time and slowly worked down his defenses to the point of getting him to join Academia to get off the streets. Naturally, being someone who already had a strong grasp of his powers, Beck made his way through Academia quickly, and was recruited to SilverWing's team in GrimHaven shortly after.

After five years on the team as a member, during the violent struggles against Avalon's Hands and other rioting villains, he fought alongside his teammates and was one of few to survive. One of the heroes who lost their life was SilverWing, and in the wake of his death, Beck was chosen by VANGUARDIAN as the next leader. He's only just beginning to get used to such a responsibility.
