APPEARANCE:

Scott keeps himself in excellent shape. A runner by nature, he has a toned, chisled body, defined without being overly muscled. Grey eyes smile out from under hair that is never too long, but usually looks like it needs to be cut. He exudes a presence without seeming overbearing.

Scott prefers to dress casually - denim jeans (blue or black), sneakers or Rockports, and whatever type of shirt he pulls out of the closet. However, he can easily put on a tuxedo and look like he belongs in it.

NATURE:

Dark Hero

PERSONALITY:

Scott is a friendly and outgoing person, comfortable and at home in practically any environment. He is not worried about material things and can manage to fit in whether he is at a high society function with Warren Worthington III or at one of Logan's less desirable hangouts. He tries not to judge or form pre-conceived notions.

However, Scott has no qualms about doing what it takes to get the job done. This is a darker aspect of himself, not a separate personality. He doesn't worry about the moral ramifications, he just does it.

GOALS:

To fully understand and control his powers. To become the best he can be without limitations.

CLASSIFICATION:

EPSILON-PRIME - Ep3

Genetic Mutation, external heat sources

POWER RANK:

MON - 75

SKILL LEVEL:

Minimal training or innate ability

APTITUDE:

Repair, install and troubleshoot current technology

WEALTH:

Unemployed, Social Security or allowance

ADVANTAGES:

APPROACHABLE - Laser is very open and outgoing. He has no problem helping others and giving advice if asked.

ATHLETE - Laser did recreational track, soccer, and baseball. If there was a pick up game out there, Scott would be part of it.

CHARISMATIC - Laser tends to be able to talk himself into and out of a situation. He can be very persuasive when he needs to be. Others tend to listen to and follow him.

CONFIDENCE - Laser always seems to have that sense that he can handle whatever is thrown at him and remain standing. Others can see that and tend to rally around him.

TIRELESS - Whether due to his eating and training habits, or possibly an as yet unrealized side effect of his powers, Laser tends to get by on less sleep, and can function at his usual efficiency for much longer than others.

POWERS:

ENERGY ABSORPTION/GENERATION - Laser's body constantly absorbs ambient heat from the environment. He also generates his own, but at this stage in his development, the majority of his power comes from external sources.

TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE - Due to his heat absorption, it is nearly impossible for Laser to be burned, overheated, or suffer any ill effects from heat. In fact, higher temperatures serve to increase his power.

This same ability protects his body from sub-zero temperatures, though there are potential problems as the temperature plummets (see disadvantages)

ENERGY EMISSION - Laser can generate coherent bursts of light from his hands. Though he calls them lasers, the defult (gold) beams tend to have more of a concussive force to them than actual burning. Laser can, with concentration, generate an actual cutting beam (white).

Laser can generate an omni-directional burst of light from his body.

Laser can generate heat by concentrating on raising his body temperature (much in the same way ICEMAN lowers his). Laser has mastered the art of heating his hands to never have a cold cup of coffee.

FORCEFIELD - Laser can create an energy shield composed of 'solid light'. Translucent gold in color, Laser can repel physical and energy attacks with it up to his power rank. Laser can create a shield directly in front of him with little effort. Larger shields, or shields that surround him, take more concentration.

ENHANCED SENSES (VISION/ENERGY DETECTION) - Laser is currently unaware that he has the ability to see in the infrared and ultraviolet spectrum, and that he can sense the heat patterns of those around him. What he does know is that he is rarely surprsied and seems to always know where he is in relation to other people/objects around him (see SKILLS - DIRECTIONAL SENSE).

FIGHTING SKILLS:

ASSESSMENT - Scott can tell the difficulty of many tasks and judge the abilities of others. If he take a full exchange to analyze a person or task, he can learn the difficulty of a task or one ability or intensity score about an individual

COMPUTERS (Usage) - The skill of being efficient when using a computer. Scott can operate a computer, write scripts, and effectively waste hours a day on the internet googling with the best of them. He may not be as good as some of the others, but he gets by.

( +1R to Int + Computers General, Hacking and Usage scores if possessed)

DIRECTIONAL SENSE - Scott is never lost, always knows where north is, and can orient himself easily without any external cues.

PERFORMING - Scott may not be in the same skill class as some of his peers, but he is better than adequate. Scott can handle a guitar, keyboard, and vocals, though he would never consider himself a lead in any of them.

WRITING - Scott discovered writing about a year before his powers surfaced. Originally dabbling in science fiction, now that his life has become his writing, he has started branching into other genres.

DISADVANTAGES:

POWER LIMITATIONS - As Laser primarily relies on ambient light and heat in the environment to fuel his powers and maintain a stable body temperature, the colder his environment, the less available stored energy he has to generate his energy blassts. In extremely cold conditions, all of Laser's heat reserves would be maintaining his body temperature at equilibrium and any use of his active powers (lasers, forcefields) could possibly cause him to freeze to death.

MORALS - Scott may not show it, but he doesn't have a true moral compass. He does what needs to be done, ramifications be damned.
