HAIR // Brown[break]
EYES // Blue[break]
SKIN // Type II on the Fitzpatrick scale[break][break]
ATTIRE[break][break]
Stephen takes a lot of pride in his appearance, and is generally willing to shell out for the latest fashions, even if it would be financially unwise. The fashion subculture he falls into tends to be a mixture of “frat boy” and “hipster”, but he generally has good sense about how to mix the two. He likes dressing up when he can, and it's rare for him to wear a t-shirt except in the grubbiest of circumstances. He prefers dark colors, especially blue and black.
[break][break]
GENERAL[break][break]
Stephen spends a lot of time on his hair and beard and takes a lot of pride in them. They're always styled, and one of his demands in designing his costume was that it showed them off. Stephen is proud of his physique as well and hits the gym every day if possible. He stands 6'5” and weighs 260 pounds.

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]PERSONALITY
[attr="class","hopelovetop"]
Stephen has always been a bit of a jock: physical, outgoing, laughing a lot, liking company and having a bit of a wild side. He's always smiling, almost always in a good mood, and always ready for a laugh. He likes being active, solving problems, and just plain doing things. He plays the occasional video game- shooters, mostly- but he'd much rather be out shooting baskets with his friends. He's very confident, always sure of himself, and is prone to taking dares. Although he's had his share of girlfriends, he generally finds women incomprehensible and has never had a very deep emotional relation with any of them. He's pretty close to a few of his guy friends, though, and is surprisingly big on hugs and fistbumps.
[break][break]
Unfortunately, Stephen also tends to be a little full of himself, tending to drift off if he isn't the centerpiece of a conversation. He's rarely deliberately mean to other people, but he often unconsciously makes people feel unwanted by making himself the center of everything. He's also a little scared to be vulnerable with others, tending to laugh off deep conversations instead of having them. In general, if he's having fun, he assumes that everyone else is, and it's difficult for him to realize that might not be the case.

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]HISTORY
[attr="class","hopelovetop"]
Stephen was born to upper middle class parents and, for the most part, lived an upper middle class lifestyle. In has case, that meant having a cushy allowance, attending a night private school, getting a cell phone when he was thirteen, getting a car for his sixteenth birthday, and not having to worry about clothes or where the next meal was coming from. In high school, he played football, basketball, and baseball, then played football in college as well, and had dreams of ending up in the pros but turned out to not be good enough. He majored in sports medicine mainly because he wanted to do something with sports and found out the hard way that not every major is equally suited to getting jobs.
After college, he languished for about a year with a job in a coffee shop and one day decided that what his life needed was something radically different. On a whim, he applied to a local police department, and they agree to sponsor him at a police academy. At 23 years old, Stephen was experiencing a career change.
The move was everything he'd hoped for. Stephen found himself to be a skilled police officer and was generally respected by the others in his department. He found the work rewarding and enjoyed it. Still, something seemed to be lacking.
The process of realizing he had powers was a long and slow one, consisting of various unexplained events that left a question mark in his mind. After the Event, he decided to test his suspicions at the local MNRU, and before too long found himself enrolled in the Hero program.

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]POWER
[attr="class","hopelovetop"][attr="class","hopelovesub"]
ABILITY[break][break]
Bioelectric Metabolism and Electromagnetic Transformation [break][break]
Through an unknown biological process, Stephen's body is constantly generating and storing incredible amounts of energy that Stephen can shape, control, and release. The energy permeates his body, energizing him, granting him the kind of endurance normally only seen in super-marathoners and making him not need to sleep. When actively working as a hero, Stephen normally causes his body to glow with a gentle golden light and emit a gentle heat. He can deploy light to brighten a dark area, use blinding flashes of light as distractions, or throw off shockwaves that knock back objects and people. His normal use of the power, however, is to generate lasers of a variety of powers and sizes. He has perfect control over these, can range them from nothing more than a laser pointer to a blast strong enough to melt metal, and can emit them from any part of his body. He has excellent aim with these in what is either a power or a finely tuned human ability.[Break][break]
Through projecting force out from his body, Stephen is able to engage in a crude form of flight (abeit one that is potentially destructive to objects around him). However, through concentration, Stephen is able to actually break his body down into electromagnetic energy, propel himself forward at the speed of light, and reassemble himself. [break][break]
LIMITS[break][break]Although large, Stephen's stores of energy are not limitless. Although normal use will not noticeably reduce his stores, heavy use of his powers (such as in pitched battle) can eventually exhaust them, leaving him powerless until after several hours of rest- or more. At full exertion, he can go about two hours before running out of power. [Break][break]
Although he could potentially generate dozens of lasers at once, practical use is limited by his ability to track targets, which, while impressive, is limited, comparable to that of top clay pigeon shooters. He is also limited by the physics of force and lasers. Powerful lasers sustained for long periods of time can result in thermal blooming, diluting the laser's effects. Fog or mist can also interfere with a laser's travel, weakening it, and they are less effective against highly reflective surfaces. [Break][break]
The nature of his power makes it far more effective at long range. Close up, splash effects and radiation could expose him or allies to damage. The nature of his flight makes him less maneuverable than natural flyers, with his top speed limited by G-forces and his need to decelerate. [Break][break]
Stephen's ability to travel as energy also has several limits. For one thing, it can only be used to travel in straight lines. This limits the length of possible jumps by the curvature of the earth. After each jump he needs a recovery period, starting at around two seconds and getting longer depending on the range of the jump. While jumping he can carry his clothes and possibly one other person, but not large objects.
[break][break]
WEAKNESSES[break][break]
Stephen is radioactive. He can normally control this well enough to make it safe to be around him, but all of his powers carry some risk of him accidentally leaking radiation. If Stephen is in battle, it's best to limit exposure to him, if possible. If he has to focus to unleash a particularly strong use of his power, there's more risk of him giving off radiation. In addition, there is an emotional component to this part of his power: if he is angry or agitated, it's harder to contain his own radiation. The Hero program has provided Stephen with lead-shielded quarters to protect others from this power.
