Character Information
Character Name: David Baylor Age: 27 Occupation: Former cat burglar, former paramedic Known Relatives: Unknown Significant Other: Formerly Elle Bishop Current Location: New Providence, New Jersey Affiliation: Neutral Known Ability: Combustion inducing Biography: David was born and raised in the state of New York, growing up in a rather poor family with David's parents not exactly being the ones who could qualify for parent of the year awards. David's mother was a prostitute and David's father was a petty thief that stole just to satisfy his drug habit. David attempted to get an education when he was younger, but didn't even make it through junior high before life started to become boring. David mixed himself in with the wrong crowds, eventually working with his very own father in robbery to get a few bucks in his pocket. By eighteen David was using Albany, New York as his playground. Stealing from the middle class and selling whatever he managed to get his hands on. He was agile and quick enough to never get caught and it wasn't until one day that David discovered that stealing wasn't his only special ability.

It happened one day when David went to visit his slut of a mother. He needed a few hundred dollars and his mother had a few pieces of fine jewelery that he wanted her to give up. She refused, of course, which made David angry enough to activate his hidden ability. David made his mother literally explode. He nicknamed her 'pink mist' by the time everything settled with nothing recognizable left of her. David learned that he could make anything explode by inducing it to, almost as if he was making the object turn inside out too fast for it to take which then caused it to explode. He blew up anything he could, whether it was inanimate object or regular animals he came across. It was this kind of reckless behavior that made The Company seek an interest in him. David, being the stealthy criminal he was born and raised to be, was able to give the agents a run for their money for nearly four months until they finally caught him. He was shipped off to Level 5 almost immediately where he spent the next five years of his life, befriending one Jackson Stryker when the boy arrived during his third year.

Two years later David planned his own escape from Level 5 with part of his plan being to take Jackson along with him just so that he could get a 'free ride', seeing how Jackson's ability was to persuade anyone to do anything. David's plan was foiled in the middle which forced him to leave his prison mate behind. He escaped Primatech and moved to Virginia, spending the next few years of his life getting it together to make sure Primatech didn't find him. He was able to get a new identity and a fake social security to help shade his existence and in a year or so he got a job as a paramedic. It was only recently that David discovered that he was being transfered across state to continue his job in New York City. Character Journal: combustions Played by: Trishelle
