Name: Nicholas Craig
Codename: Smog
Age: 18
Sex: Male
Year: Senior
Description: Nicholas’ body is completely covered by his clothing. Standing at about 5’9”, he really has a lean build, but you wouldn’t guess due to the red, bulky, flame retardant suit he’s forced to where, which comprises of the suit itself, and lack gloves and boots. The boots are lined with yellow and black hazard strips, as is the belt around his waist. His face has never been seen, covered by a black gas mask, muffling his voice somewhat.
Personality: Nicholas is a quiet, reserved individual, normally keeping to himself (and people tend to stay away from him anyway.) He rarely speaks unless spoken to, and when he does, his voice is muffled by the gas mask. The only other times his voice his heard is when he’s laughing, normally when training’s going well.
Power Type: Mutant
Powers: Nicholas’ body emits off a smog-like gas from the pores of his body. This fog can effect anyone inhaling it, causing them to become dizzy, disoriented, and even in some severe cases, minor hallucination.
Weapon(s): With some light help from some of the more techy students, Nicholas wears a device on each wrist, like a lighter. With the motions of his fingers, he can light it and release a burst of pent up gas, effectively making them small, portable flamethrowers.
Drawbacks: Nicholas has little to no control over his powers, constantly giving off smog. Because of this, he constantly has to wear that suit to keep it all contained. Also, his gas is highly flammable. However, as he himself has never been caught in any explosions, some of the staff wonder if he himself is fireproof or not. This has yet to be confirmed.
Relationships: None.
History: Nicholas’ powers emerged when he was thirteen, accidentally putting his class and teacher into the hospital when he started billowing smog everywhere. Everyone had simply thought it was a fire, judging from the thick smoke. While it was a relief there was no fire, and none of the students and teacher suffered and severe injuries, a number of anti-mutant supporters in the town didn’t like the idea of a living ball of gas. They remembered “The Event” involved a living bomb, and it would just take a single spark to cause another fiery explosion. So, poor little Nicholas was chased out of town, with nowhere to go.

It was then that he met the headmistress. Having heard of what happened, she personally came to collect him, able to effectively nullify his gas spewing abilities long enough to take him to the school. To keep his smog contained, and to take a load off the headmistress, Nicholas was forced to wear an almost airtight flam retardant suit and gas mask to keep his smog contained.

Five years later, and Nicholas still has little control over his abilities although he does have some combat skill thanks to the make-shift flamethrowers he possesses. Because of his appearance and quiet personality, many of the students consider him a freak among mutants, numerous rumours spreading about what he looks like underneath the suit and mask.
Other: It should be noted a light haze constantly surrounds him, causing some slight dizziness and some people. This is because the suit is letting out minute amounts of gas to keep the pressure from building to breaking point. Overall, it’s harmless.
