//APPEARANCE//

Played By: Joe Armstrong

Eyes: His eyes are a very light green color. They are usually blank to hide his emotions, but are quick to sparkle when he finds something to be amusing (which is often). His eyelashes are thin but long, framing his eyes beautifully though none can see them due to their light color. Contrary to the photo above, one of his eyes is not smaller than the other.
Hair: Fletcher's hair can be described as dirty blonde, but he prefers to call it a light brunette. It is very wavy and unruly, and oftentimes Fletcher doesn't do anything to it in the morning. Bits and pieces of it usually stick up in every direction because of his habit of running his hand through his hair. Fletcher doesn't use any product in his hair, but washes it often.
Smile: Fletcher smiles a lot. He always enjoys a good laugh, so his smile is on display more often than not. It's a very crooked smile with only one end of his lips going upwards. He usually bows his head slightly and looks up with his eyebrows raised when he is amused. Fletcher's lips are on the thin side.
Face: He has a small scar on his left cheekbone from an altercation with a neighborhood kid when he was younger. Fletcher usually has a light beard and mustache, as he doesn't like the way he looks when he is clean-shaven. His eyebrows are extremely expressive. Indeed, the most common look on his face is of one eyebrow raised skeptically. Fletcher despises his nose as he believes (correctly) that it is too long for his face.

Height: 5'11''
Weight: 220
Physique: Fletcher is very slender. He'd like to say that most of his weight is muscle, but in reality he is not one of the bulked-up men you see in commercials. That isn't to say, however, that he isn't in shape. Fletcher tries to keep to a strict workout regime but sometimes can't find time.

Style: Fletcher doesn't really care about style. That being said, he most certainly won't wear any t-shirt or pair of jeans just lying around. He usually wears a white shirt with a vest of some sort over it. His jeans are always either a deep blue or black, and he hates the kind with holes in them. He especially hates how bits of fabric missing seems to cost more.
Hygiene: Fletcher washes himself every night before going to bed. He tries to keep up with his hygiene, but as mentioned before has a strict aversion to shaving. Whenever he has just shaved, Fletcher can often be found in awkward poses attempting to cover his jaw until the stubble grows back.

//HISTORY//

First Sign of Powers: Fletcher was about twelve when his powers revealed themselves. As said before, he had obtained a scar when he had a physical fight with a neighborhood boy. Twelve-year-old Fletcher yearned for revenge on his oppenent, who had beat him soundly. One night he snuck over to the other boy's house. As he watched his nemesis eating dinner, Fletcher became angrier and angrier until the fence post he was clutching burst into flame. His adversary came running out with a shocked look on his face and began frantically throwing anything he could get his hands on to keep Fletcher away from him. Fletcher siphoned some of the flame from the post to create a miniature shield in front of him to protect himself.

Favorite Way to Use Powers: Fletcher loves to create things with his powers to make people smile. Oftentimes he will create momentary fire sculptures that temporarily burn a beautiful image into the retina. He'd rather not use his powers for fighting, as he would never win against the more offensive-based people. Fletcher instead subtly uses his powers to protect younger students from being hazed by the older ones, though he makes sure that he is not in sight when this happens.

History At School: Fletcher is a rather outgoing person, so he has no qualms with interacting with others. He can be prone to sullen days where it seems like he'd rather bite your head off than look at you. Fletcher loves his classes though he pays attention only when the subject interests him. Somehow the knowledge seems to be absorbed even when his mind is otherwise occupied, because Fletcher's grades are well above average. He'd much rather be socializing than be in a club where you actually have to DO something.
History With Humans: Fletcher knows only what he has read about humans. He has never come into close, personal contact with one as he has seen them as something to be avoided as a rule. His natural curiosity occasionally makes him wonder what it would be like to know a human, but he writes it off as crazy minded thinking. Fletcher fears that he would inadvertently hurt someone with his rudimentary grasp on his offensive sides of his powers.

//FAMILY//

Parents:
Father: Alexander Ostradum: 56 years of age;Fire/Earth
Mother: Elizabeth Ostradum: 58 years of age;Water/Air

Siblings: Fletcher has three siblings: _________ Ostradum, who is a water power and his only brother, _________ Ostradum, who is also water power and his is oldest sister, and Amaya Ostradum who has both Fire and Air power, and is his youngest sister. Fletcher is the oldest of the siblings.
Relationship with Family: Fletcher gets along smashingly with his youngest sister, as he can relate better to her through his powers. He despises his oldest sister as she spent most of their childhood degrading him in front of both his peers and hers. Fletcher knows that he is not the favorite child of the family, but has a grudging respect for his parents. He has a relationship with his youngest brother that is hard to define. It can sort of be classified as a love-hate relationship. Fletcher enjoys taunting him with longer words that he knows the younger child can't understand, and will often tease him out of pure malice, but refuses to let anyone else harm a hair on that child's head.

I'm done. ^^ I wasn't sure whether or not to put Amaya's name in seeing as she is also in the Application Pending section, but I went ahead and did it.
