Backstory:

Hooboy, this ought to be good. Ronald Dorscht was the kind of kid who got bullied a lot, for both his name and the hexagonal pattern of scars just around his neckline. By the time he graduated school, he'd already decided he wanted to be a cop. He made it through the academy with pretty average scores, just like in high school, married his high school sweetheart, and got assigned to a local station where he ran a pretty average beat.

When the tensions started rising between sorcerer cabals and mutant gangs, Ron felt pretty good about his middle-class neighborhood not falling into such craziness. That all changed when a rogue sorcerer came tearing into town, taking hostages at a local business. Ronald got called in as he was close to the scene. Arriving to find his wife was one of the hostages, Ron suddenly felt a snap within himself. His latent mutant powers, dormant and suppressed for so long, came blazing out. Hundreds of holes were torn into his uniform as streaks of light flew from his chest and back, tearing into the sorcerer's body. A few stray streaks hit the hostages as well.

Suffused by terror, Ron burst into the air and flew away at high speed. A warrant was issued for his arrest on the charges of fleeing a crime scene, assault, and third-degree murder. He remains in hiding, though occasionally surfaces through his attempts to reconnect with his wife, and continue fighting off criminals (especially rogue sorcerers) under the name and guise "Luminaire."

Since going underground, Ron seems to have gained better control on his powers, and has put considerable effort into improving his mind and body. It is unknown if part of his mutation is to blame for that aspect.

Dossier:
Body 5 Coord 4 Sense 4
Mind 3 Comm 4 Charm 3

Base Will 7
Will 10

Skills:
+1 Athletics, Endurance, Intimidation, Dodge, Pistol
+2 Perception, Brawl, Stability

Known Powers:
"Like a comet across the dark of night" Flight +8d+WD (+48)
Luminaire can fly at a very fast rate, and has expert control of this ability. When glowing his "stings" he can appear to leave a tail of light behind him, but this is a purely cosmetic and controllable effect.

"Against all evil, my storm of light" +10d Harm (Harm Defends, Controlled Effect) +2 Spray (+60 total)
Luminaire's torso is covered by even hexagons, much like a honeycomb made of glass. From this array, he can shoot self-guided crystals that glow with a bright light that appears almost white, but subtly shifts through all the colors of light. These crystals can be directed at multiple targets and even be used to deflect attacks, possibly even bullets. He has considerably improved his ability to control these "stings" since first expressing the power, and we can only assume that it will continue to get better. (He'll probably spend any excess Will adding more Spray to the power, and upgrading regular dice to WD).

Motivations:
Ron invests some will in his Marriage and his Community. He believes strongly in defending the innocent and wants to fix his life. Though he hates what his powers have done and what they've made him, he sees their utility and realizes that he can do great good with them.


EDIT:
I'd probably need to modify his backstory a little. Not sure if my +2 all stats is a natural effect, or a power. If natural, he probably did a lot better in school. If it's a power, I might add a few points to give Ron "The Lightbody," a form composed of solid-light that improves all his stats. Hell, maybe even shift it all around (ugh, the math) to make it a true Alternate Form so he can shift between everyday-cop and LUMINAIRE, THE MAN OF LIGHT!

Also Goddamn you Greg Stolze! Everytime I roll on a One-Roll chart like this I make some badass character that I absolutely love and want to play as immediately. I have one I did on the Dindavaran chart for Reign that's sitting on a notepad file on my computer, just waiting.
