Name: Craig Thuleander
Age: 30
Occupation: N/A; he's been homeless for quite some time. He's working to find a job, though, with what little sanity he has left.
Manifestation: Manifest of Mind. His power is centered around basically "spamming out" a person's mind with false, disjointed memories, causing confusion and overloading their thought processes; rendering them unable to properly function for 30 seconds up to 5 minutes depending on the severity of the attack and the resilience of said person's thought processes (for example, someone who is constantly focused and has a clear stream of conscious will be less likely to be incapacitated for a long time than, say, one who's always got their head in the clouds).
Personality: Craig is rather touchy and angered easily, but given that even before the Fissure he was a diagnosed schizophrenic who has always had a hard time trying to emote to people properly, this is only an adaptation to his diseases, both past and present. Even then, his mood changes on a whim, and at points it can seem like he has no personality at all. He's as volatile and unstable as one might expect from a Manifested that has the Manifest of Mind, with only the affection he shows being for his caretaker (who also happens to be a Manifested and a social worker) and feral raccoon-cub pet; the only indication that he has an ounce of sanity left in him.
Skills: He's a tinkerer, and enjoys building tools out of anything he can scavenge on the streets; often, their rickety appearances deceive a person into thinking that they're a lot more flimsy than they really are.
Equipment: A couple of knives and a clawed glove that he made for defense, along with a pouch of homemade "pepper spray" which is really just a mixture of black pepper, taco seasoning, and chili powder that he can sprinkle on his hand and blow into people's eyes if he has enough time to utilize it.
Background: While attempts to gather information on his past life have been unsuccessful, it is known that Craig had been orphaned at approximately 7 years old, during the first few years of the Fissure. Craig has been living on the streets for a very long time, coping with the early stages of his schizophrenia and picking along the gutters of New Lancaster to survive. Really, it's a miracle that he did survive, because once he was found by another Manifested 10 years later and taken to be treated by a Doctor, the signs of his own infection burst through with surprising force, and any lucidity he had at the time was completely erased once he was given the "cure" and his infection was contained.
He is currently under the care of a general practitioner, but the Manifested who discovered him,the social worker Cody Burbank, is currently helping him search for a private Doctor that will be better at monitoring his Manifest for him.
Appearance: Brown-haired, brown-eyed, very disheveled in appearance. Has the tell-tale facial scarring of a Manifest of Mind and beard stubble that he never bothers to take care of, as well as dark circles under both of his eyes. He's tall, lanky, and usually wears nothing but a stained tank-top, a dingy-looking gray hoodie with some sort of faded logo on the front, and jeans that have been caught on one too many chain-link fences. Maybe I can slap a picture up there when I have the time to sit down and draw it.

I'm excited to see what you do with this guy.
