OK, another guy I'm planning on trying out at our next meeting (the GM is doing something that's so far pretty cool, letting us each use several characters.)
Cloud was originally based off the character in the kung-fu movie Stormriders... but he didn't really seem to fit well with the game. This is a revamp of him, and I think this character will do OK, despite the fact that his Mastery doesn't allow him to create his element. I'll soon see... he's going to have a 1 on 1 with the Juggernaut!

DESCRIPTION
The turning point in Jason's life came when he was about 6 years old, when his parents were murdered. The incident devestated Jason--as did the fact that the man who eventually took him in was the man who did it, as Jason soon discovered. At the time, he called himself Essex.
Mr. Sinister's overall plot in taking in Jason was (and still is) shrouded in mystery. However, his immediate expectations of Jason were not. Jason was poked, prodded, experimented upon, and trained, with his powers pushed to a premature greatness--one that the early manifestation caused to burn out any hope of further growth. But Sinister was satisfied... the youth was eventually given greater and greater free reign, as he took on greater responsibilities... managing networks, acting as eyes and ears to Sinister in numerous ways and areas. Of course, he was rewarded, as Sinister wanted to keep him loyal for future use....
Jason, however, grew restless of following Sinister. He did his tasks--some of them rather heinous--out of necessity more than duty. At last, as a young adult, he walked out on Sinister... and curiously, Sinister let him.
Now Jason trains and scours the globe in hope of finding a way of eventually repaying Sinister for his actions. He has actually come to disbelieve that it will ever happen, but still lives to eventually throw a monkey wrench into Sinister's plans, at one of the most crucial times possible.
