Most people say I'm unreliable, I'm never there when you really need me, i bail alot or i like ghosting. To be honest I don't really disagree. Growing up with no siblings made me the kind of guy who just always did my own thing. Sure i had friends, girlfriends and stuff like that but that's never really been enough to keep me tied to one place. I've always had the habit of disappearing for months at a time to chase a new hobby or a new adventure without giving any notice to the people in my social circle.

It all probably started with the family. My family wasn't exactly filthy rich, but yeah we could afford quite a lot. All that money wasn't easy to make though, so my parents were barely home due to some business trip they had to take or some problem they had to tend to at work. When they were home, they still spent most of their time working from home. So i got really good at entertaining myself and putting the money they made to good use.

Life was pretty normal until i turned 13 and i started manifesting powers. Which was pretty unexpected because neither of my parents were mutants. I remember the first time it happened, we were writing an inconsequential class test and i felt a big sneeze coming on. Instinctively I tried holding it in but quickly realized that wasn't an option, finally when the sneeze forced its way out it came out with an unexpected gust of wind that blew away the desk in front of me, along with the student who occupied it. Needless to say the student got hurt pretty badly. The school called my parents in and it almost became a big issue, until my father pulled out a checkbook and made the matter disappear.

That same afternoon i was told to pack my bags and i was shipped off to a boarding school called Bellefonte academy. The amount of money i got from home mixed with the freedom of being away from home eventually turned me into your typical spoiled brat who spent most of his time getting drunk and trying to get with as many women as possible. Honestly the only productive thing i managed to get done while away from home was working on my photography.

Eventually i became Bellefonte Academy's official photographer. I handled taking class pictures, award ceremony pics , took pictures at parties and basically everything else. At the age of 17 a few teachers at Bellfonte saw my potential and pulled a few strings to get me an internship at a magazine. Once my photography carrier really took off I basically dropped out of school and persued a career as a social media influencer and a photographer. I worked with a few magazines and spent most of my time travelling for photoshoots. At the age of 20 i had basically become my parents(face palms). I was too busy travelling and chasing money to develop any serious connections, any spare time i got was spent getting wasted with the people of whatever country i was in at the time. Or trying out new and dangerous things to feed my constant lust for adrenaline and adventure. And to be honest i enjoyed life.

Up until December 2014 happened. Suddenly i was on a mutant hit list of some sort. I saw horrible things being done to mutants for no valid reason, Some were taken in and others were killed on sight depending on their power type. Luckily due to my lifestyle of constant travel and having no real connections i was really fucking difficult to find. I was always here one day and gone with the wind the next. Living on the run was basically already in my nature, i changed a few details about myself and continued with my lifestyle but with much more caution for obvious reasons. In order to continue with my career i had to become a bit more mysterious as a photographer and as expected the media ate that shit up. In a world where every photographer is constantly scrambling for attention and a chance in the spotlight a photographer that did the exact opposite of that garnered a lot of attention.

Magazines that published my photos were contractually bound to use my alias instead of my real name. My side career as a social media influencer also changed slightly as i used an alias for that too. Although i would occasionally pop up in a magazine or two due to my career as a photographer it was always under an alias and with fake information about my whereabouts and my background.

Air Manipulation
Nicolas Cutler has the ability to create amplify and manipulate air and air pressure. Because air is essentially invisible it is a very useful tool/weapon. In out of combat situations Nick can use his power to accomplish the following:

•Wingless flight and gliding:
By either propelling himself or riding air currents. Flight cannot be maintained for very long (2 minutes at best). Gliding on the other hand can be done for much longer(for an hour and a few minites) with the assistance of gliding equipment like a wing suit, hanglider, or a parachute.

•Fake telekinesis:
By manipulating the air around inanimate objects to make them move how he wants them to move.

Battle applications:
Nic can also take this seemingly harmless and easy going ability and weaponize it when needed. He can use his power to create big powerful gusts of wind ,attack using violent waves of air pressure , reduce or increase air pressure for multiple deffensive and offensive reasons or enhance his combat abilities in the following ways:

•Enhance his speed:
Nic can reduce the amount of wind resistance on himself while moving in order to move faster and more effortlessly. Alternatively he can propel himself using air to drastically speed himself up. This mixture of air manipulation and movement also makes him quite light on his feet and agile.

•Enhance his strength:
By drastically increasing the amount of air pressure around his limbs at the moment of impact with an opponent or an object, Nic can produce large amounts of force with each physical attack thus mimicking super strength.

LIMITATIONS
- Nic is only able to manipulate air within a radius of 100 feet. His abilities do not affect the air or people outside of his reach.

-Because humid air is lighter than dry air, Nic's abilities are easier to use in humid areas and are weakened in dry conditions.

- Nic has an easier time manipulating air that is relatively still or air that moves slowly. He can't really manipulate air during powerful storms or when its extremely windy because it would be like fighting against the current of the ocean. What he can do in situations like this is go with the flow and use the wind's natural direction and speed to his advantage if possible.

- Although he is capable of creating very small tornadoes, violent gusts of wind and powerful waves of air pressure to repel people and objects he can't maintain them for very long ( he can maintain them for approximately 15-25 minutes) once he has reached his limit he won't be able to use his powers until hes had a decent amount of rest.

- On average an offensive gust of wind from Nic can travel at 300mph which is powerful enough to flip over a car and push it several feet away. He can of course scale it down as much as he likes to avoid casualties. At maximum strength he could probably produce one or two short bursts of wind at 500mph. These can be maintained for a much shorter period of time than his average blasts and tire him out much more.

SIDE-EFFECTS
- As an odd side effect of his powers,Nicolas has a severe case of claustrophobia, something as simple as being indoors  for an extended period of time makes him feel like he isn't getting enough air to breathe and makes him feel trapped. He needs a lot of air to feel at ease and a lot of space to feel free. So small spaces are his ultimate nightmare.


- His abilities make him passively more sensitive to the air in his environment. Because of this, Nicolas has more sensitive hearing compared to normal humans since sound waves are carried by air. Loud noises get on his nerves pretty quickly and can even cause severe headaches and can even be used to imobalize him.

-Overuse of his powers cause severe headaches and make him feel extremely light headed. This could lead to him passing out if he continues to push himself.
