Full Name: Anthony Dylan Matthews

Alliance: Antihero if anything.
A Little More Detail
Personality:
In his teen years Anthony had what you would call a wild side. He went out at night, drunk, did drugs and caused trouble. This changed when he joined the army. He was still outgoing, but he started to stop being emotionally attached to anything. He'd seen his friends die in combat and didn't want to experience the sensation of mourning anymore. He became lonely and isolated, even more so after his marriage failed, and one night had an epiphany that he would use his special talent to help others, because he couldn't use it to help him self.
Anthony believes in the greater good, meaning that he would happily nuke a city in order to put a stop to crime. This does mean that he can be quite influential and in future could lead to him doing something not so heroic.
History:
Born January 3rd 1983 to Brian and Hilary Matthews, Anthony is the oldest of three children and the only boy. Although Brian had the best of intentions, he and Anthony didn't really get along and in order to get away from him Tony would spend his nights out on the streets with his friend Austin Groves. Needless to say the pair got into quite a bit of trouble, and were held overnight in police cells on more than one occasion.
Despite meeting her when he was six, Anthony did not start dating Austin's sister Shannon until he was fourteen. Until he was seventeen the pair had an on-off relationship, during which time Austin and Anthony began to get into more trouble with the police. In order to prevent him from going to jail, when he was seventeen Anthony's dad enlisted him in the army which effectively ended the relationship he had with Shannon.
Corporal Anthony Matthews was in the army for six years, most notable serving two active tours of duty in Iraq from 2003 until late 2006. The Corporal got on well with his peers, however he often got into arguments with his superior officers and it was because of one of these disputes that he was dishonorably discharged from the army and sent back to the states. He met back up with Shannon, and embarked on whirlwind romance. They were married but soon divorced when she discovered his ability. He hasn't seen her since.
It came as a shock when Anthony discovered his gift, and if he had discovered it before he was in the army he would not have used it for the best of intentions. His time in the military had changed him though, and he used it to help people. He began helping citizens in trouble and rumors began to spread around the seedy underbelly of the city of a man who could shoot electricity from his fingertips like a stun gun.
Eventually, Anthony was pulled into a group of Vigilantes that ran about the city. Quite a few of them were ex-military, and they would steal weapons from criminals to combat criminals.
Appearance:
At '5"10, Anthony isn't the smallest guy in the world, but he isn't the tallest either. His body is muscular, but not to the point where you are going to see washboard abs and huge biceps through his shirt. You could simply say that he has brown hair, or if you were really interested by it you'd notice that it varies between a light brown/dirty blonde and dark brown, depending on the time of year. It is usually cut short, though he has been known to grow it out. His eyes are a dull pale blue and seem to give out no other emotion than sadness, which his pale complexion seems to compliment in a strange manner.

Example RPG Post
Anthony quickly strode down the street, pulling the collar of this trench coat up as he so often did to keep his neck warm. Despite the type of people it had, New York in the nighttime was Anthony's favorite place to be. Although he had lived in the city for most of his life, it always seemed to come up with some way to surprise him at night. Tonight he'd come across a clown being chased through the park by police only run straight into a horse drawn carriage; it was the sort of thing that would only happen in the Big Apple.
"Give me a dog with some hay." Anthony said as he stopped alongside one of the city's many hot dog vendors. The vendor nodded, before making a hot dog and covering it in mustard. Tony handed across the correct amount of change and nodded at the vendor, before continuing down the street, taking the occasional bite out of his snack.
