Personality-
Adrian follows one simple rule-- "Do unto others before they do unto you." He holds most other people in disdain, because he believes they will only ever try to hurt him, put him down, or rip him off. He is out for himself, and in his mind so is everyone else. He can be cruel to others, but he hardly goes out of his way to cause misery. Mostly he is just apathetic to what others think and feel.
If he has a goal in mind, he works toward achieving it, with little to no concern for the consequences and the bridges he burns in the process. He is ruthless in his job, in his love life, and in everything he does. Adrian could be described accurately as a sociopath.
Adrian has trouble relating to people, and often drives them away with his overall selfish attitude. He is not above deceit and betrayal and has been known to betray the trust of many in his day-to-day life. He has a vague code of what is right and wrong, but it is a very flexible one at that.

Abilities/Powers/Skills-
Hydrokinesis-
Adrian now has the ability to manipulate water with his mind. He can create a wide variety of effects using this ability. He can gather nearby water to him and shape it into various constructs, from making waves and whirlpools to creating weapons out of the water, such as projectile "rain drop" bullets or tendrils of water that harry his opponents. With time and effort, Adrian can cause a river to flood or he can manipulate water behind a dam to break through, causing a flood. Adrian can choose to engulf his enemies in water, drowning and suffocating them. He can defend himself with a waterspout shield effect, a whirlpool column that would protect him from close range attacks. He can choose to conceal himself in a bank of fog as well. This is an expansion of his initial ability to dehydrate by touch.
Adrian still has the ability to absorb the moisture in anything or anyone he touches. This can go so far as to utterly desiccate a living being, or to cause the negative health effects of dehydration. With conscious control of this power, he can turn it on and off at will. If he for some reason cannot control this power, it is always active, and he is very dangerous. If he himself happens to be dehydrated it will quench his thirst, as he is essentially "sucking" the water out of the victim.
Aqueous Form-
Adrian can also now assume an aqeuous form, that imbues himself with the properties of liquid water. He can move under things that would otherwise be barriers, such as closed and locked doors. In aqeuous form he cannot physically harm anyone (as in, he cannot punch or shoot anyone) , nor can he be physically harmed by most attacks. What he can do is grapple someone, engulf them in his liquid body, and attempt to drown them. He can travel at much faster speeds than he could if he traveled in physical form. He is, however, vulerable to extreme temperatures in this state. He can be frozen or evaporated while in this form. If frozen, he will simply enter stasis in an icy tomb of sorts. If evaporated, he is as good as dead. He can add water to his "body", increasing his size , but he returns to his normal mass when he assumes his physical flesh and blood form.
Limits-
Hydrokinesis-
Adrian must be conscious, and able to concetrate in order to use his more impressive hydrokinetic abilities. The more devastating the intended effect, the more likely it is to require great strain and effort. He must take his time, for example, if he wishes to destroy a damn by "calling" the water behind it to him. Such a strain could fatigue his body, and leave him vulnerable to his enemies after the deed is done. If he has gone to an extreme point, such as attempting to cause a river to divert course, he might even fall unconscious from the strain. His power has a lot to do with proximity, and no matter how much he practises, no matter how hard he concentrates, he cannot try and make it rain by calling the water from clouds. Distance makes it harder to manipulate water, basically. His maximum range is approximately one hundred feet from his location. He can only influence the action of liquid water; he has no power over ice or vapor.
When it comes to dehydrating a victim, he has to be able to touch the target. This requires being up close and personal. He can only absorb water (H2O). Any other liquid material cannot be absorbed by this power. He has to maintain continuous contact to completely desiccate a given target. He cannot, for example, punch someone and make them shrivel up into a mummy.
Aqeuous Form-
In his liquid form, Adrian is very vulnerable to extreme temperatures. He can be rendered immobile if subject to extreme cold (he'll freeze into ice), and he can be rendered functionally non-existant if he is "boiled" away by extremely high levels of heat energy. As previously mentioned, in this state he has limited tactical options. He cannot physically harm anyone in ways he might ordinarily do so (such as by unarmed striking, or weapons use). He can only add mass to his "body" in aqueous form. He retains his true mass upon assumption of his physical, flesh and blood body.

History-
Adrian was born in a humble small town in rural New York. His life was fairly ordinary, until his parents died in a fire. He only survived because he had been sleeping over at a friend's house. The county sheriff had ruled the fire an accident caused by faulty wiring in the old farmhouse.
The death of his parents was a defining trauma in his life. He felt like he was the mercy of a chaotic force he could not control. Adrian felt alone for the first time, and it shook him to the core of his psyche. This set the stage for the next pain that would shape his life.
After that incident, when he was about six years old, he went to live with his divorcee aunt. Morgan Larsen at her home in a suburb of New York City. Here he was abused daily by his bitter aunt and here he learned a harsh lesson about life: He was alone, and the world he was born into was harsh and cruel.
His aunt had always been hostile to Adrian's mother, ever since the first time Adrian met the woman, it seemed. The two sisters had a falling out after an incident that he only vaguely remembered. What he could piece together as an adult was that his aunt had once seduced his father, but he had, of course, been in a serious relationship with Adrian's mother. Apparently, when the secret came out, Morgan's husband, divorced her. She was then estranged from her sister (Adrian's mother), who was disgusted by what she had done. As time went on she grew to be resentful and bitter, and she fostered a hatred for her family. When she took in the young Adrian, she decided that she would have revenge on the man who scorned her and her sister by taking out all her anger and jealousy on the boy. She would beat him for minor failures, and constantly demean him verbally.
He managed to make it through that fairly sane, but still very damaged. He overcame what could have destroyed him though, and became a fairly successful person. He had a steady job at an office, and a decent home. But he always felt alone, and he did it all alone. To this day, he cannot form meaningful relationships with anyone, and he has something of a bad reputation. He graduated from a no name college with a Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts.
Anything else?-
Sample RP-
It was another day, another damn day among the filth that Adrian Kilvayne hated. He was riding a crowded subway train, and the stench of humanity sickened him. He knew these people probably held disgusting secrets, each one worse than the last.
Adrian hated the morning commute, almost as much as he hated the people he worked with. He was surrounded by idiots in his life. And worse, he was surrounded by abusers, rapists, molesters, thieves, and perverts. He often thought he would rejoice if this whole sick world was burning in the hellfire it deserved.
He reached his stop and managed to make it out alive in the clamor to get off the train. The station also seethed with the vile species Adrian regretted he belonged to. He left the underground station on to the streets of the city that spawned the worst of that vile species.
Days like this made him remember everything he had suppressed so long. He remembered the loss of his parents.He remembered the beatings, the berating, the hell of his life with his aunt. He remembered the failed relationships that left him alone and miserable. He remembered the people he screwed over , all in the interest of making a buck. He quickly reminded himself that they would have done the same, if he were not that much better than they could ever be.
The anger he felt was not a seething, impassioned, and burning rage so much as a simmering, dark, and latent contempt. Adrian could think of at least one person who had screwed him over for every person whom he had trampled over in his life.
Adrian entered the building where he worked,, all the while paying no heed to the people he had to pass on the way in. He simply traveled to his work station and engaged in the monotony. It was Monday, and the beginning of the drudgery he endured every day of his adult life.
I sure as hell hope the copier works today, he thought miserably.
