Powers;; Brandon has a unique ability to control both fire and water. He can manipulate both at one time without focusing his power, but it's weak and not as powerful as it is when he focuses. He calls his focused powers Forms.Major Forms
Base Form
Base Form is Brandon's usual form. It causes him the least problems but allows him to still use his powers to great effect. He can manipulate water temperatures, extinguish small flames, or move small amounts of fire or water around. It's range is small, usually limited to things that are right in front of him. And it's not able to create fire or pull moisture out of things. Proximity to either element will enhance different emotions, explained later. He has to move his hands and body to manipulate the elements.
Form Aqua
Form Aqua is Brandon's next level of water manipulation. He can freeze water or melt ice almost instantly, and in much greater amounts than his base form. He can pull water from many sources, like springs or close to the surface, and even some plants like grass. Form Aqua exudes calm emotions, and more empathetical people can easily grow calmer around him. He becomes more immune to telepathic suggestion and emotional manipulation as well. The downsides are the fact that he usually has to be around a lot of water for this form to be effective, and he loses all form of pyrokinesis while in this form. He prefers this form to the others.
Form Pyro
Form Pyro is Brandon's way of taking care of business. It's the next level of his Pyrokinesis, and usually more useful in a fight unless he's at the beach or it's raining. He can manipulate nearly any size of flame, from the smallest spark to a raging bonfire, making it grow or extinguishing it. It's for this reason that he usually carries matches and at least three lighters on his person. Form Pyro radiates more intense emotion, influencing more passion in both Brandon and anyone sensitive to emotions. Like Form Aqua, Pyro increases his resistance to telepathic suggestion and emotional manipulation. The Downsides are that he cannot make his own flames, and in this form, he's more inclined to make rash decisions and to seek danger.
Form Neptune
This is Brandon's highest level of hydrokinesis. He can pull water from a desert if he has to. A single drop of water is to Form Neptune a deadly weapon. Capable of manipulating water with mere thought and as little movement as possible, he is a destructive force of nature. While in Neptune, Brandon can freeze water instantly and can pull water out of the air, the ground, plants, and if he's close enough, even another human body. The downside is that he loses his ability to manipulate water for a day if he exceeds using this power for more than 15 minutes (about 10 posts). His personality change is also extremely alarming. Where Aqua is calm, Neptune is icy, uncaring, and much darker than Brandon's usual personality states. Naturally, his mental and emotional defenses are much stronger than usual.
Form Helios
This is Brandon's highest level of fire manipulation. With it, he can create jets of flame and extinguish a blazing inferno. No longer needing a lighter, he can use any heat source to create a flame. including his own body heat. The downside is that he loses his ability to manipulate fire for a day if he exceeds using this power for more than 15 minutes (about 10 posts). Helios increases his hotheadedness and passion, making him a more volatile Naturally, his mental and emotional defenses are much stronger than usual.
Hair Color;; It's short, blonde, and usually in whatever style Brandon feels like combing it into.
Eye Color;; When he's not using his powers, his eyes remain a deep shade of blue. He usually has small pupils and larger irises that are easily noticeable. When in Form Aqua or Neptune, his eyes change to a more icy blue, and glow slightly.
When using Form Pyro or Helios, his eyes turn a shade of golden yellow, with occasional dots of orange and red.
Height and Weight;; 5 feet, 11 inches tall, 176 lbs
Distinguishing Features;; none
Likes;; Coffee, Cooking, Swimming, Dancing, Saxophones, cute girls, Steak, pokemon and other video games
Dislikes;; Discrimination of any kind, people who abuse their powers, vegetables, mean people, most rap music
Strengths;; A caring personality, rarely loses temper, super powers, and a friendly attitude, and he's a really great cool
Weaknesses;; strangely, a magnetic field will short out his powers and reduce them to almost nothing, a really bad temper when it's set off, he has a hard time saying no to people making him easily taken advantage of, and he can get rather talkative to a point it's a flaw.
Fears;; Losing control of his powers and ending up alone
Goals;; To become a powerful gifted human that's respected by all, to unite the world, and to have a family one day
Personality Overview;;
Brandon is a maverick, first and for most. He conforms to nothing except what he believes in, and he follows his own path. This follows in everything he does. He is impulsive. These two combined makes predicting what Brandon does next very difficult.
Despite his tendency to go on his own path, Brandon is quite steadfast - He is firm in his beliefs, determination, and adherence to what he believes in. He is very loyal to his ideals, and when he makes an oath he keeps it no matter what the cost to himself.
Brandon also typically tries to downplay serious situations, people or events that are due respect lightly and with disrespect, and can appear spastic at times. He uses a lot of sarcasm, both to tease his friends and to annoy and distract his enemies. At times, this habit of downplaying things causes him to dismiss what others have to say with little regard for the other person or the situation, particularly if it does not affect him.
Brandon is also cursed with having a compulsive desire to investigate and learn. The unknown must be known, the confusing understood to him. If he hears a noise in the dark or out of sight, smells something, sees a flash of light in the woods, hears a legend or rumor, etc. he has an urge to investigate. This is of course not always very healthy for Brandon, and has caused him many problems in the past. It doesn't help that Brandon can't sit still for too long before he starts fidgeting and looking for something else to do. He isn't the type to long winded explanations or detailed orders.
Brandon loves to make friends and is quick to make them with his sweet, gentle personality. Brandon hopes to one day unite the world and end all of the hostilities between humans and metahumans.
Brandon has a lot of confidence in his abilities, and doesn't back down from a challenge, though he would rather end a situation as nonviolently as possible.
The student prides himself on his intellect and creative thinking abilities as well, often able to come up with something out of his butt to give himself a victory or to at least help out his situation a lot.
He is easy to befriend and is trustworthy to a point where even a stranger can notice. He's fiercely protective of his friends to a point of being comparable to a mother bear protecting her cubs.
Brandon has a bit of a dark side to all of these good traits. The young man can and will fall into a rage if his buttons are pushed the right way and he isn't afraid to kill anyone who wrongs him enough. He's vengeful to extremes and he isn't afraid of using every single one of his abilities to hunt down and destroy his enemies. His powers do a number on his emotions, often making them more unstable and making him more prone to excessive behavior when in use.

History;; Brandon was born on a warm day in spring. He grew up in a nice place, a quiet rural community in the southern state, surrounded by family. Brandon discovered his powers, fire first, when he was about 8. The child was able to practice his powers in peace, due to the large amount of open land in the area of his home.
Water came second, and it was useful considering Brandon had started at least three fires that had nearly been impossible for him to put out. He was around 12 when he finally revealed his powers to his family, an open bunch of folks who cared enough about Brandon to accept them, though he was rightfully punished for a few things like blaming his twin little siblings on burnt objects. The young man was very thankful for his family's acceptance of him, because as he showed people what he could do, people he had been friends with for years, began to attack him verbally. After all, none of them had the guts to really attack a kid who could throw fireballs at them.
Brandon quickly became lonely, and depression set in soon afterwards, requiring him to go to therapy for a while. He seemed to get worse until the therapist recommended Ashburn to his parents. After a lot of discussion, a year of it, Brandon was enrolled for his freshman year.
He made quick friends with his dormmates, a group of young men in their junior year, and finally worked himself out of his depression as he found a place where he fit in.
He's been a student there ever since, and is anxious to finally graduate.
