Original
Powers/Abilities:
Tracer Thin - The user's body has the ability to compress and stretch his body paper-thin or fold even smaller to a tracing line or thread. With this malleable body, they can compress incredibly flat (2d) or stretched thin (1d) leading to a contortionist style of combat. The user can slip through cracks with ease, or distort their body to have some unsuspecting striking angles. Despite the similarities of compressing and stretching goes, he's no rubber body at all. He can only stretch up to a maximum of 15ft, 20 ft if he really pushes it. Usage consists of creating a razor-sharp edge out of his own limbs, cracking whip-like attacks, spiraling(piercing drill) attacks, springy jumping, or enhancing his movement with a speedy slithering or "tracer" movement.
Weapons/Items:
Cell phone, wallet, sketching pencils, notepad, and laptop.

Physical Appearance:
Forttie is a scruffy faced kid. He's got silver blue eyes, which he hides with dark shades most of the time, and bleached blonde hair that he will typcially ruffle up with some product or tuck under a hat if the bed head is too vicious. He's dilligent enough to get a taper every few weeks, but not dilligent enough to style it when he goes out. On his ears are a few piercings, and on his left arm is a forearm tattoo sleeve. He's not physically impressive in any way... -average 5'9 height and 169 lbs of lean muscle.
Clothing and Armor:
He wears variations of the same exact outfit. He's no fashion icon. A practical t-shirt, patchwork leather jacket, some skinny jeans or shorts, vans/chucks and a nice watch. With a mixing and matching of colors, he can pretend he has a wardrobe, but it's not like he goes anywhere important. He either works from home and draws, or travels for fun... and draws. Occasionally he may go sit in a park and draw... but at the end of the day, he spends his day drawing. For Forttie, what he wears isn't important. For Max Spiral, he doesn't need a costume or weapons because he is the weapon.
Personality
Sexual Orientation:
Straight
General Personality:
Nicholas Forttie is a mellow individual without much drive. Rather he keeps finding himself reaching walls and failures. Of course, one will want to make a strong change. Max Spiral was his change. When he's not spending his time trying to make money from his comics, Forttie spends his time living in his fantasy world. His world blurs between fiction and fact. Sometimes he'll manifest his actions through his book, and sometimes he'll do something just for inspiration. As of recent, his crimes have gotten a lot more complex and he has been looking to get into dealings with bigger and better. He doesn't realize this about himself, but he is a climber. He instinctively leeches and learns from whoever is in his path in order to move up. It's this manipulative nature the feeds his presence as a villain. There are times when he makes true connections, but often times, people are just "food" or playthings for him.
He's crafty and doesn't take much serious because he always believes in his ability to wiggle his way out of any situation. This comes with a steep sense of superiority even when he might be the henchman in the situation. He looks far into the future, and tries to play puppet master when the opportunity presents itself. As a person who often has very little control over his life until recently, he aims to destroy more often than not. There is a deep want to sow the seeds of chaos regardless of who's side he is on. It makes him just as much as a hinderance as he is an ally. Spiral is a paradoxical character. He writes his own story, that much is clear. He is a narcissist, a liar, a thief, a killer, and a free spirit above all.
For the different jobs he may take, he present to be some nobody punk kid. Often times he won't even mention his powers to the people he works for, mainly because it's best to keep a low profile. Until he figures out his own enterprise or finds someone he truly believes in, he happily lives the life of a powerful nobody. Imagine the possibilities if nobody ever sees it coming.

Anything Else
Max Spiral Comics-The series follows a surprisingly boring protagonist who meets his first arch nemesis, Max Spiral. Once Spiral comes into the picture, the story becomes filled with a colorful array of villains. It's not supposed to be about villains, but it certainly can seem that way upon reading. The odd nuances and fun fight scenes are often what people find most amusing about it.

N/A
History:
Forttie's life was never all that interesting. The only thing of noting was his powers. He's had them for as long as he can remember, but never really used them for anything. It was just a cool secret. Well until he comittied his first crime. It was petty, maybe even smaller than that but it was a start. It was some candy from a local corner store. It wasn't much but it was a taste. That taste for excitement and danger soon became a hunger. It would slowly move up at he got older. It would become laptops and monitors that he would steal and then sell. It had gotten to a point where he'd start going on sprees instead of going to school. The once bullied poor kid from Chicago, was finding his confidence in crime of places.
Sure he had his obligation at home, like taking care of his brothers, but one day he decided to ditch those responsibilities. All they did was burden him anyway. All anyone in his life did was burden him. The only reason he had to play father figure was because his father was never around and his mother was too depressed to work. Leaving was an idea that always sat in his head, but it wasn't until he finally did it that he felt free. He would watch over them the next few months, and interestingly enough, they just found someone else to live off of. It was almost as if he never existed... It was here he learned that life will go on with or without him. It would only put a battery in his back to just live how he saw fit.
If 'fit' meant being a career criminal, then so be it. He'd be the best at it. He'd start a comic book on a whim, and it actually got some traction. Life really seemed to be looking up, until he ran into real villains for the first time. Rather then his own little caper, Forttie took a job under the guise of his Comic book villain, Max Spiral. These guys seemed like business and the last thing he wanted was for them to start spitting out his name everywhere. These guys were a lot different than him. Despite having the same skillset, they seemed larger than him in a way. Maybe it was confidence, or maybe it was because he was finally in the big league. Either way, when the gang got into a shoot out with the police. Forttie slipped away without a trace.
When word got out, people began to think he gave the gang up. The only way to cure this bad rep was to continue to take jobs and prove he was just as much a villain as anyone else. He paid close attention to those who were in charge and what made them seem powerful. It only fueled his hunger to write. This stuff was some serious gold, but of course he had his boundaries. He hadn't killed anyone, but those who were large and charge could kill without a second thought. The only way to get to that point was to really live out his stories and really experience what he wanted out of life. Being a spec in this big world wasn't good enough. He need to ignite that hunger and passion again.
Role Play Sample:
This is required for all canons and OCs deemed significant within the scope of the RP, such as group leaders or exceptionally powerful individuals to warrant an additional layer of scrutiny.

If you want to create a custom roleplaying thread for your RP Sample, please ask the mods first.
