Personality-
Oliver has a good heart deep down, he cares about people and wants to give everyone a fair chance, but he has just been through so much that his lack of trust prevents him from getting close to anyone now that his sister Kayla is gone. Oliver is a different person when he’s on his own, he gets both scared and nervous very easily when it comes to situations he knows he can’t control. He has had a lot of experience with the others like him, and his sister taught him to wield his fear and turn it into power that he could use to overcome his enemies. He might be nervous at times, but if somebody he cares about is on the line, he becomes a totally different person.

He stands up for what he believes in, and thinks of anybody that tries to stand in his way, as an enemy. He doesn’t care what it takes to get a job done, he’ll do it. He’s not afraid to take a life if necessary, especially if they’re trying to kill him first. He’s usually pretty loyal to his family and anyone that has earned his trust. He doesn’t let people get very close, and he doesn’t easily trust people. He’s had so many letdowns in his life that he doesn’t want to go through it anymore. People always tried to take advantage of him, so he learned to not give anybody a chance to do it again. He only acts civil to people until he has a reason to treat them differently, so strangers are safe for now.

Although he can be heroic, Ollie can get very nervous very easily. He just doesn’t let it show. Usually it is connected to more personal things, like when he is around somebody he likes; he's one of those guys who is taken over by nerves. His tongue gets tied and sometimes he even stutters. When Oliver gets past his nerves, he's really quite charming, he knows what to say to somebody he likes after he's comfortable with them. Oliver is also a pretty goofy guy around people he's totally conformable with, he's the type of guy that would be all quiet and secretive around strangers but when he's out partying he's a whole different person. Laughing loudly, messing around with his friends, getting into trouble, that's who Oliver really is.

Oliver seems like two completely opposite people sometimes, he has such a mix of a personality. He's a geek because he likes history, acts like a goof, and loves comic books. But he can also be classified as tough because of his uncaring attitude, wants to help, and messing up whoever tries to make fun of him or anyone close to him. One thing left out is that Oliver loves a good adrenaline rush. He likes to do extreme things most people would be scared to do, as long as he knows he's not going to get hurt or killed because of it. He likes danger, from rock climbing, to cliff diving. He just loves the thrill. Ollie has a sarcastic remark for everything that is said to him. He knows when he needs to be serious, but sometimes he just can’t help himself. When people give him a hard time, he can’t help but use sarcastic remarks.

Abilities/Powers/Skills-

Atmokinesis- Ollie has the ability to control the weather by manipulating the atmosphere. He can make the weather do whatever he wants just by thinking about what he wants it to do. He’s had a lot of time to develop his powers and watch them grow. He can control clouds, rain, lightning, thunder, hail, even create small tornadoes. He can even increase or decrease the outside temperature, making it hotter or colder of he wants to. He can direct the flow of wind, even make it more or less powerful. He can make clouds and even mist, and from that muster lighting and let it strike in any direction he wanted to hit his target. Ollie can also control the rain, including how hard or lightly it falls down. When it comes to his manipulation of storms, it requires a lot of focus. Given the amount of power, he is able to create fiercely dark clouds, harsh winds, drowning rain, and lightning.

Thermokinesis- Ollie has the secondary ability to control the molecules around him to increase or decrease temperature. Which being able to control the weather, his thermokinetic powers come into play when he wants it to be warmer or cooler outside. But, that is just a little of what those powers are truly capable of. The extent of his powers include being able to make everything around him so hot, it would inevitably burn those around him. Any hotter he would be able to start a fire, but he can’t go quite that far, but he could use his powers to give somebody heat stroke or cause them to pass out of heat exhaustion. He can also make things freezing cold around him, up to a point where things around him would become frozen solid. He can also make his body just as hot or cold. He could burn somebody upon touch if he wanted.

Limits-

Atmokinesis- Ollie has a pretty wide range for his powers of control the weather. He can control the range of his powers for about a mile wide if he concentrates hard enough. Since he has had his powers for so long, he has excellent control and can use mainly every aspect of it. With this power alone, he can’t create mass temperature drops or increases, he needs his secondary power for help with it.Oliver is usually in control of his emotions, but if he was to lose control of his emotions for whatever reason, his powers would also be effected. If he was to get very angry or even upset, the weather would also go out of control around him. Usually he has control because he has his emotions under control, but if he were to lose his grip, he would lose his powers, too. When the weather is fierce or out of control, the only thing he can do to turn things back to normal would be to relax and focus. He needs to be calm so that the weather is calm as well.

Thermokinesis- Like his powers over the weather, Ollie also has a far range with his thermokinetic powers, just not as far as his atmokinesis. Usually he can only manipulate the temperature around his as far as a half mile if he really concentrates. When he wants to make things hotter, he just thinks of the warm feeling and lets it keep increasing until it’s hot eno9ugh for his liking. The same thing goes for the cold. It’s usually easier for him to make things warmer outside when the sky is clear and the sun is shining. It’s also easiest to make things cold when it’s cloudy, and snow is also helpful for the peek of cold. His powers over the weather take a part in his thermokinetic powers. Being able to become hot or cold himself makes him invulnerable to most temperatures. It’s like he’s almost numb. He feels the warmth and the cold, but he’s never really hot or freezing like most people, it doesn’t take the full effect on him.

Appearance-
Oliver Benton stands at five feet, eleven inches. He's pretty much the average height for somebody his age. He has pale white skin, probably because he doesn't get much sun. He has almost dirty, blond-colored hair. His hair always looked like he just rolled out of bed, always messy-looking, and spiky in the front, but he does it intentionally most of the time, he thinks it's a good style for him. Oliver has attractive chiseled features, a wide and charming smile, and bright blue eyes. Oliver also has a scar on his eyebrow from when he fell during April fourth. There was water spraying everywhere at the time and the force was so powerful that he bumped his head off the side of his car and the wound never fully healed.

Oliver has many different clothes that he likes to mix and match. From the top, he doesn't really like wearing hats, so his hair is usually wavy and free. He loves to wear sunglasses, especially when he really doesn't need them, like indoors when he just feels like trying to be cool. Oliver absolutely loves wearing stripes, and doesn't like being cold, or even chilly, so usually he's wearing sweatshirts, his favorite being the striped ones he has in his wide closet. Oliver also really doesn't like wearing anything but jeans, long-wise and shorts, short-wise, for both types of the weather he faces. Also, when it's really nice, Ollie never passes up the opportunity to show off some skin, he likes wearing his plaid shirts unbuttoned so he can be cooled off and looking hot at the same time.

History-

Long before Oliver Benton came along, his parents met in France. His mother, Zoey Tuttle, was French, living alone with little income in a coffee shop. Although she liked serving the people and being able to talk to everyone, she wanted a café of her own. His father, Jim Benton, was stationed in France while he was serving the French military. It was a unique situation for an American soldier to be stationed in France, but he volunteered to come over and help train the French. One day when Jim went into the same coffee shop that Zoey Benton was working at, they met. It was love at first sight for the young couple. He was finishing up his time in France and was supposed to go back to America in a few months. Well, during those few months, he spent most of the time with the beautiful Zoey. One day Zoey found out she was pregnant, just a few weeks before Jim was supposed to go home. They were going to be having a baby girl. That baby girl was Ollie’s sister, Kayla.

Jim offered to marry Zoey and bring her with him to America. She couldn’t find a way to say no, so she said yes and they moved across the world to the good old United States. They settled in Manhattan, little did Zoey know that her future husband came from such a wealthy family. The couple settled there and Zoey delivered Kayla after eight months of their new residency. They got married soon after, and Zoey went back to witnessing at a fancy restaurant, because that is what she loved to do. She didn't want to sit at home all day with nothing to do. Jim had his military leadership to manage for the next year until Zoey became pregnant again, but this time with Oliver Benton who arrived nine months later. He was a good baby, although he had no idea what he was being born into. He was quiet, for the most part. He wasn’t much of a crier, in fact, it worried his parents. Although he didn’t say much, he picked up on things fast. He learned to walk and speak pretty early. It was all down hill from there. Once he was walking and running on his own, nobody could seem to take their eyes off the boy. He was everywhere.

Oliver liked to get into trouble and give everyone around him an attitude. He didn’t see his sister very much, for she seemed to disappear for some strong reason. Oliver never understood why Kayla was gone, and all his parents told him was that his big sister was sick. He wanted to see her, but his parents said it was impossible. Little did he know she was actually in a lab, that was where she was growing up. Somehow somebody knew Kayla was going to be special, but all of that was kept secret from Oliver as he was growing up. As a kid, he didn’t like school much. He had the brains, but he didn’t quite have the attitude. His father was shipped out of the country and wouldn’t be back for several months. Nobody seemed to be able to give him a straight answer. His mother opened her own café. So, Ollie was by himself when his mother worked late since she was the one in charge to close up shop. She didn’t have anybody she trusted to do it just yet.

Since Ollie’s mother was off late, they needed somebody to put Ollie to bed at night. He was still o young to be home alone. He was about seven years old and his mother was over protective of him. So, she hired a sitter. The man hired was the only one that seemed to have what she needed. Meaning, he was previously a life guard and pre-school teacher. For some reason, he wasn’t anymore. He said it was because it wasn’t the right job for him, but Ollie found him to be creepy. Late at night, when Ollie went to bed, the babysitter would come into the room and molest poor little Oliver. He couldn’t tell anyone, the man threatened him and said he’d kill him if he said anything. The sexual abuse carried on for months until Zoey finally realized a change in Oliver. She brought him to the doctor’s and that’s when they discovered what was wrong. Social services came into play and made Oliver tell them what happened. He told them everything about his evil babysitter, and the man was locked up for it.

Ollie went through some therapy after being sexually abused for so many months and his father came home and was not happy once he heard what happened. He felt so guilty for not being there, like it was all his fault. Oliver overheard his parents talking about how ashamed he was and that he wanted to quit the military. Oliver came forward and said he couldn’t let him do that. It was a rough couple of years, growing up the way he did. School was hard enough, but now he had this dirty secret he had to live with. Of course he didn’t tell anyone. Before he knew it, he was thirteen, and his first real sexual experience occurred. He went over his friend’s house who had older girl’s there. They were playing games and having a good time. Then Ollie was left along with the dark haired girl. One thing led to another and they ended up having sex. Here we was having sex at only thirteen years old, The girl had no idea he was even that young. He didn’t even get the chance to tell her, since she was gone when he woke up later.

After that, it all went downhill from there. Although he waited a while after that, Ollie was never the same kid. It got a lot worse once he got into high school. He wasn’t the type to play sports. He was more of a bad-ass and geek. He liked to play video games while he got high with friends. But, obviously that wasn’t something he could pull off at home. He got involved with a very interesting group of friends after getting into high school. They liked to get high and do stupid crap while under the influence. Oliver loved the rush of adrenaline. Once when his older friend brought them out to a cliff and they were all to scared to jump off. Oliver ran suddenly and jumped right off. He loved the rush and safely landed in the water. They all followed after him. He tried his best not to totally fail school, he was smart, after all. Of course he went to parties and got baked all the time. Not to mention all the girls he took advantage of and slept with.

He was already involved in so many bad things by the time he was fifteen, and then something amazing happened. One day when he got home from school his parents were sitting in the kitchen, waiting for him. They just starred at him and gave him a look of disappointment. He asked what was wrong and they showed him the pot they found. He tried to take it back from them, but they jerked it away. One thing led to another and before he knew it he was yelling at them. Mostly it was him and his father yelling, his mother tried to keep things under control. He ran out of the house to try and get away from them. His father chased him outside and his mother stayed by the door. Looking up, the sky was getting dark after they were having a full week of sunshine. His father grabbed him and Ollie pushed him back. Obviously he was pissed off and a little upset. That’s when it happened, a bolt of lightning came down and struck his father’s car. Ollie had no idea what happened, bit his parents sure did.

The topic of discussion quickly shifted after that. Before he knew it, his parents were telling him that he might be special like them and his sister. He couldn’t believe it, so he had to at least try. He went outside and started playing with his powers. He couldn’t do much at first, mainly because it took a lot of power to muster lightning like he did the first time. He could make the clouds dark and make it rain when he wanted too. But, he was changing the weather too suddenly, and Jim didn’t want people to get suspicious. Later on Ollie found out he had another power, the power to control the temperature around him. He was sick a the time and in the kitchen. He was burning up with a fever and all he could think about was getting cooled down. Before he knew the room was covered in a layer of ice. Once he got his powers under control, he knew it was time for some fun.

Oliver became more of an anti-hero after manifesting his powers. He used them to do the right things for the wrong reasons. It started at first during the winter when everyone had midterms. The news said there was a big storm coming and Ollie made sure of it. They ended up being snowed out for three days before school was back in session any nobody knew a thing. Except his parents, they weren’t exactly stupid. Before he knew it, he was breaking into another high school to see what they were doing for their prom. He wanted to help a girl he wanted to get in bed with on the prom committee that they had nothing to worry about. Oliver ended up taking the girl to Prom, to bad he didn’t wake up next to her that next morning. There was no doubt that because of his sexually abused past that he ended up being quite the slut. Not like he was much different from other guys. At least he had some standards.

He was lucky enough to graduate form high school, but then he had his future to determine. He took a road trip with his friends, which is when he started practicing kung-fu and still does to this day. Once he got back, his sister appeared. He almost didn’t believe it was Kayla at first, and they caught up and told each other everything. Ollie hated hearing about what had happened to her almost as much as she must have hated the rough life he was leading. He got to know his sister and finally spent time with her. She got herself an apartment in Manhattan, it was cheap but at least it wasn’t that far away from Ollie’s home. He was still suck with the parents. Although things seemed calmer since Kayla was there so much. He enjoyed having his big sister around. She was only a year older and although it took about eighteen years to have a relationship with her, it was still worth it. He became protective of her, especially after hearing about her boyfriend that she was running from. He wasn’t going to let anyone hurt her. But one day, the unthinkable happened.

Oliver went over to Kayla’s apartment to meet up with her for lunch and when he got there all he found was her charred remains. And not just hers, but somebody else, too. Somehow she was burned to death along with a friend that was also there. This destroyed Ollie. He knew it had to be the ex boyfriend, Trevor Perry, that did this to his sister and he swore someday he was going to find and kill the jerk himself. He lost control after that, his powers were at their fiercest. He had no luck finding the guy, and he still had his family to think about on top of everything else. He went out to clear his head when some guy started with him at a bar. He said if they had to problem to take it outside. So they did, alone. Big mistake on his part. They fought it out until a bolt of lighting struck the guy dead. Oliver got a first taste of blood on his hands. Nobody could stop Ollie from his new path of destruction. Not his parents, not his old friends, not even his cousin Neve.

He was still doing what he thought were good things, but for the wrong reasons. But none of that seemed to matter once April fourth came around. Everyone in the world got powers for a few short minutes. Lucky for Ollie he had control, but the sight he saw around him was unbelievable. He was on his way to get his car fixed in Brooklyn when all of a sudden he felt the ground shake. People were flying all over the place and some guy was creating a whirlpool that was soaking everyone. Ollie used his thermokinetic powers to freeze the spraying water but he also ended up freezing everyone else around him, too. He needed to use a lot of power to freeze all that water and he couldn’t just focus it on one place with all the chaos going around. He fled after that, before he froze any more wet people. Nobody that wasn’t affected by his powers noticed it was him, so he was safe. But he wasn’t safe for long. After that day a new law was passed ordering special to register. There was no way in hell Ollie was agreeing to that.

Oliver didn’t ever care for the law, or for rules. He wasn’t about to sign his powers away to some new branch of government. So, he kept using his powers anyways, and one day they came for him. Two men came to take him back to Washington to stop him from abusing his powers. He was inside a restaurant at the time. But he still had control of the weather outside. As he argued with the guys and tried to resist, they could hear the roaring of the thunder and the rain falling on the glass. A bolt of lighting hit one of the windows, distracting the Strike Force so Ollie could make a run for it outside. He knew he couldn’t stay in the public view. He packed his bags and left home. Ever since then he has been staying in the Bronx. He found a old warehouse that wasn’t being used anymore and that is were he lived now. Ollie even came across a stray dog that he took in. He usually stays inside during the day, otherwise he wears a hood when he goes outside.

Anything else?- Not that I know of.

Sample RP-

Ollie had been laying low, out of sight and out of mind from everyone from his old life. It had been months since the Registration Strike Force confronted him while he was having lunch at Chuck’s Diner. They wanted to ask him some questions, of course Ollie knew better. They knew he was special and they knew what he was doing with his powers. He hadn’t registered and never planned on doing it. They seemed to have a different idea, of course. They wanted him to come to Washington with them. That’s when he focused on the outside. He darkened the cloud and started the rain storm. He can still remember the nervous looks on their faces as they heard the rain falling against the window pane. But by then it was too late. Ollie directed a bolt of lighting to come through the window so he could make a run for it outside in the dark pouring rain.

Even since then he hadn’t really seen anyone from his old life. Or at least, nobody had seen him. He still stalks around Manhattan and keeps a close eye on his old friends and family. Nobody ever noticed him when he walked around with a hood settled on his head as he looked down at the ground. He looked like anyone else in the big city of Manhattan. Or at least he looked like one of the poor guys everyone tried to ignore for fear of catching some disease.

Before the sun had even went down, Oliver was at the drug store. He needed to pick up some Tylenol since all the dust in the warehouse where he slept was starting to give him headaches that he could certainly live without. Plus, he also needed a new pack of buts. He went over to the cashier without a word. And handed him the money. The cashier took his sweet time, trying to open a new pack of quarters. Ollie sighed heavily and rolled his eyes. All he wanted to do was get back before somebody recognized him. “You think you could speed it up a little? I do have somewhere to be. You can keep the change if you want, I just need the stuff.” He said. The guy dropped what he was doing and gave him the bag. He took it and gave the guy a short wave before heading out of the store. That’s when he ran right into somebody he really didn’t want to see.

“No way, Oliver Benton, is that really you, dude?”

He looked up with a worried expression as he saw it was one of his old high school buddies. He was a part of the pack that was also supplying them with the alcohol and weed. Oliver had outgrown smoking pot, now he was just addicted to cigarettes. “Yup, that’s me… bye.” he said as he walked right past the guy like he didn’t even know him. His old friend’s exptied expression suddenly turned confused as he looked over and raced over next to Oliver. “Ollie, dude. It’s me, Roy! Don’t you remember me.. I got you guys all the-” Ollie stopped dead in his tracks and pushed the guy to get him to stop. He took a deep breath and turned to him.

“Listen, Roy. I know who you are, I just don’t particularly care. I’ve changed, moved on, this isn’t high school anymore. I know you’re probably hanging out with the same group of doughbags but I’ve moved on. So, do me a favor? Pretend like you never even saw me. I don’t need word getting out that I’m still hanging around here.” he explained. He crossed his arms and waited for him to reply. His facial expression was priceless. It was like the guy witness a pregnant lady being punched in the face or something. “Yeah, dude, totally. I won’t tell nobody. But, dude, can I at least borrow a cig? I’m all out.” He said hopefully. Oliver was just about to keep on moving and then got annoyed again. He turned to Roy with a grin. He knew what he wanted, but had no intention on giving it to him. He was just going to him was he needed. “I know just what you need…” he said as he pretended to pull something out of his pocket but instead he made a fist and knocked socked the guy in the face. He fell to the ground and Ollie kept on walking.

He was so glad he didn’t stick around with that particular group of friends. They were all no life’s. A waste of space. They had no future. Although Ollie was in hiding, at least he knew he at least had a chance of going somewhere in life. He just needed to figure that part out. He took the box of cigarette’s from the bag and opened the box up. He took the cigarette out and stuck it in his mouth. Making sure nobody was looking he cupped his hands around the tip and focused on it. Before he knew it started to burn just enough to get it smoking.

He didn’t even care that he was being chased by the government because of his powers. That wasn’t going to stop him from using them. Besides, he lost his lighter.
