Costume Description/Image: When in costume, his "skin color" is like stain glass
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
This is actually a protective layer of glass. His hair almost "crystallizes" due to the glass, and becomes a much sharper, thicker rendition of his civilian hair.

his actual "costume" has no set form or shape. It is also stain glass, and he shapes it into whatever clothing he wills it to be, allowing his "costume" to adapt to any given situation.

Personality: He can be narcissistic at times, but it is always subtle gestures such as looking at himself in the mirror for an extended period of time. He feels most comfortable in positions that allow him options. This brings up the point of his neutrality. He feels that if you stick to one extreme side, you might never enjoy the pleasures that can come from the other. He does slightly lean over to the heroic side more however, since he prefers good natured people rather then those who could turn on him. He is not bounded by any particular code of arms that prevents him for looking out for himself. He has a fear of heights when not on ground that feels stable (He is fine in an airplane, but a roller coaster is another story)

History: Adriano was the type of kid that never payed much attention at Sunday mass. His attention was always towards the stain glass windows that surrounded him. This was much to his parents displeasure, but even when he tried to pay attention to the service, it was inevitable that his head would slowly but surly turn away, and reenter this world of glass. He considered the glass astounding; the very pinnacle of human art, even. He knew at a young age he wanted to create such art.

He learned of his powers on a school day. It was recess and all the kids were out playing. Adriano himself had just finished using the restroom and began washing his hands. Suddenly a loud crash slammed through the window. A stray baseball had forced it's way into the bathroom, and with it countless shards of the former window heading right towards a young Adriano. He had covered his face with his arms in fear. He had shouted out "NO" before the glass had impacted into his flesh. To his surprise, the assault stopped. The glass floated there in mid-air. He couldn't believe what was going on. He took a step back, and suddenly the glass had hit the floor, shattering into smaller pieces. It was at that moment an aid had opened the door to see what the noise was about. There they had saw a confused Adriano, a broken window, and shards of glass not too far away from the boy.
"Are you alright, kid?"
"Y-yeah, I think..."
"You should still get to the nurses office, just in case."

Naturally, she found no wounds on Adriano. He was sent back to class at the end of recess, and the bathroom was cleaned up. From then on, Adriano started to...experiment with this discovery. He never once saw it as some kind of curse. He didn't see himself as a "freak" or anything of that nature. This is a gift. He had every intention of using it as such as well. Eventually, he was able to manipulate all matters of glass. Not just movement, but he could reshape it too. He could make it thicker, sharper, anything he willed it to do would happen.

Powers: Hyalokinesis: He can mentally control and manipulate all forms of glass. He can create glass from basic silica, found most prominent in geological mineral sources (sand). He is capable of repairing, reshaping, or recoloring glass. Users may increase glass density (levity/weight), resistant to extreme temperatures (heat/freeze), puncture proof (e.g. bullet vest), shape it into various forms (sharp or softened/blunt), or revert it into a sand form/vice versa. Glass modifies the waves coming towards him, deflecting certain opponents abilities and making them incomprehensible and/or deflected (EX: Lazer based weapons/attacks). This allows him to highly prevent from becoming petrified or becomes immune all together from the effects of Petrifaction. He may visually seem to use Invisibility, from refractions of various small glass particles, but still be tangible and physically present. He has a bit of terrine adaptation when in contact with sand, allowing the use of normal breathing, motion, and scenes. As glass is a refined material, the user may become exempt from the usage of an opposition with an empathetic force such as Empathic Manipulation or Empathic Acoustics.

Examples of his abilities are such:
* Fire shards of glass.
* Create glass constructs.
* Repair broken glass objects the exact same way it was like before it was broken.
* Break glass objects with a thought.
* Trap targets in glass cages.
* Conceal targets in glass.

However, he can not
# create glass.
# disintegrate glass.
# Is highly sensitive to Acoustokinesis when in glass form.

Roleplay Sample:
"Another beautiful piece, Adriano!" Exclaimed his art professor.
She was awing over a sculpt he had made out of pure glass. It was a sculpture of a human girl holding a butterfly. It appeared as if he had taken pieces of glass, and had glued them together to create the piece.
"I guess I just have a gift with work with glass" Adriano would say with a smug smile on his face.
"How did you get it work? wire frame?"
"How did you guess?"
"I couldn't begin to imagine how else this could be held together so well. Do you mind if we put this in the art show next month?"
"Funny you mention that. I was actually going to ask if we could put this piece in the show."

The rest of the students watched him gloat with his body language. Some were more envious while others, astonished. He became well known at his school for his artistic talents. While he had his ability to manipulate glass, making a task like that sculpture nothing more then child's play to him, he was generally quite good at art in general. Upon leaving the course, he was stopped by a fellow student.
"That was an interesting sculpt you had there, Adriano. How did you make it?"
"Oh, Hello there Carmine. Didn't you hear the teacher? I used wire-frames, glue, and glass."
Adriano started to walk toward the exit once again, only to have Carmine follow.

"Something about that seems odd...."
"...Excuse me?"
"You always have great art, but that was amazing. Something you normally wouldn't see a university student do."
"What are you getting at, Carmine?"
"I don't think you did that sculpt. I think your paying someone off for the grades."
"and I think your talking out of your ass. Jealousy is a very unbecoming feature, Carmine. Instead of going on these little witch hunts of yours, maybe you should practice your paintings. By the way, your last piece was unbalanced. Do you even know how to treat negative space?"
He did not wait for an answer. He was finally out the door before she could say a word.

"I really should be more careful with how I treat this ability" he thought to himself.
"The last thing I want is to be sent off at some lab somewhere and get tested or something. From now on, I am going to try to limit myself on using this power."
Just as he reached his car, he has noticed his keys were waiting for him right on the driver's seat. They must have slipped out of his pocket as he got up.
"Oh come on, really?"
He let out a sigh and started to scan the area. No one was around. Suddenly, a hole opened up on the driver side window. It was big enough for him to put in his arm, and unlock the car door.
Just as he sat down and started his car, he thought to himself "Alright, NOW I am gonna start limiting myself."

It's amazing.

Brilliant.

Just Explain this word- Acoustokinesis.

Thank you for your kind words. Acoustokinesis means Sound Manipulation. I had in mind super powers not unlike that of Marvel's Banshee or Songbird/Screaming Mimi

I'd approve it, but I'm not a mod.

This is simply amazing. Everything looks top notch! You so are~...

APPROVED! <3 ^^; Enjoy your stay. ;D

Though, to reach this state, I need to have a bit of... well, a bit of a time limit placed on how long it takes to MAKE glass...

Though I'm a bit confused on a part you mentioned.. You state he can make glass from silica, then you also state that he CANNOT make glass at all... Explain?

Are you meaning to say that he "cannot make glass from thin air. He must have the proper elements, or at least one element, to even begin to create glass," eh?

What I meant to say is he can not just generate glass from himself, like say, Iceman can create ice without a need for water or anything of that nature.

Is nobody else disturbed that glassman is in a thong?

ಠ_ಠ Man thong...

Moving on: Nice App! It's original, interesting, and it looks like you followed all the rules. The only question I have is the origins of your powers. You gave two great RP samples, but you never really explained WHERE your powers came from. I could venture a guess that (like tele/psycho -kinesis) it is a mutation or natural development... but you might want to specify.

Other than that, it looks great. Cheers!

Finally, thank you. You've begun the long process of restoring my faith in humanity.

that image is the Shin Megami Tensei interpretation of Dionysus, god of orgies and wine. No idea why they decided to make him look like stain glass, but that should explain the thong. If it helps, there is also another character in the series named Mara. Mara was someone who tried to tempt Buddha with lust by using his daughters. In the game, he is a giant penis. Sometimes in a chariot. Depends the game you are playing.

Sorry about that. He is a mutant.

That'll be a very long process.

Alright, well it looks like we're all agreed that this is good enough to be approved. Hope to see you RPing soon

Spoiler:

Here is a better character portrait of him in his glass form.
