Quartier général
Avec un dernier soupir, Alex se leva de son lit et retourna son masque à son visage où il appartenait. "Peut-être que nous aurons de la chance et il y aura un cambriolage de banque," il s'est moqué de lui avant de marcher à sa porte de chambre. Il était sur le point de l'ouvrir quand il a entendu le clic de la télé dans le salon. Il n'a vu personne entrer. Mais encore une fois, il se parlait tout le temps, donc il n'était pas impossible de supposer qu'il ne les a pas entendus. Alex a déjà deviné que c'était Scarlet au moment où il a ouvert la porte, laissant ses yeux le confirmer.
-- Hé, Scarlet, salua-t-il de façon décontractée, tenant la main qui tenait toujours l'horaire de la patrouille. "Alors vous et moi allons travailler ensemble aujourd'hui. Nous avons un moment terrible pour combattre le crime, mais si le besoin se fait sentir, n'oubliez pas de ne pas voler les projecteurs. Je vais vous laisser capturer la petite frite, mais si quelque chose de grand arrive, alors j'ai des dibs." Alex, ou plutôt il était Chroma maintenant, savait qu'il était immature. Mais il s'est senti menacé par Scarlet et a dû mettre une sorte de contrôle des dommages sur la situation de la patrouille. Elle avait le potentiel de le surpasser en travaillant ensemble, quelque chose que Chroma n'aimait pas du tout. Le jeune Ward a baissé l'horaire et a couru sa main libre à travers ses cheveux blonds, le léchant en arrière avec facilité malgré l'absence de gel. Maintenant, il était complètement déguisé. "Je vais prendre un snack avant qu'on parte. J'aime commencer mes patrouilles tôt; la ponctualité est un élément important d'être un héros. Le héros qui ne se montre pas à temps est le héros qui ne sauve pas la journée."

Biography:
A young American teenager born and raised in San Francisco. His father was an artist of varying fields and his mother was an impressionable accountant. Alex was raised in a very liberal household that valued his strengths and ignored his weaknesses, leading to an inflated ego from a young age. They were not a wealthy family, as the only source of income came from his mother's steady job. His father was doing something different every year. One year he is an actor, another he is a painter, but no matter what he's doing it doesn't make money. Alex initially resented that part about his father, but in time he would be indoctrinated by his charismatic old man. Art wasn't meant to make profit, it was meant to entertain. Art was a way of life, not a job.
Alex would receive both Trigger Events simultaneously when he was fifteen and attended his father's very first art show. A culmination of his old man's entire life's works put on display for the public to see. Only it was not well received. It would be an understatement to say the high-class establishment that funded and hosted his event were displeased with his paintings' "child-like" qualities. A crowd gathered to mock and harass the Rowland family. The humiliation didn't stop with the art show, as drunk patrons awaited the Rowland family as they left that night and assaulted them in the street. They would've only attacked Alex's father, but young Alex was quick to succumb to his rage and jumped in. This resulted in the beating of a lifetime, putting him in the hospital alongside his father.
He didn't realize his powers for almost a month after the event, when he was mostly healed from the fight and out of the hospital. An angry Alex was quick to abuse this, destroying the building that catered to the dramatic art show that stained his father's reputation and almost killed the two of them. This put him on the PRT's radar and they approached his family the next day. They were willing to overlook his crime in order to form him into a true hero that could wield his powers wisely and safely. Alex saw this as an opportunity to become famous like his father could not. He accepted the proposal without haste, though his father demanded he wouldn't be taken to the Los Angeles department out of prejudice. The PRT granted their wish and instead sent Alex all the way to Chicago, Illinois. He has since become a Ward for the PRT, donning the alias of Chroma for his superhero acts.
Personality:
Some may be believe Alex to be a genuine and upstanding citizen with impeccable morals and a capacity for empathy. They would be gravely mistaken. Alex Rowland isn't just sly and conniving but incredibly full of himself. An egomaniac that uses justice as a means to parade his greatness. Life is like one big show to him and he's none other than the leading role. He finds himself to be a gift from God and behaves in an accordingly eccentric and extravagant way that often brings up questions of his sexuality. Despite caring for himself above all else he does have some morals, finding it easy to injure but difficult to kill. One can also say that he has decent self-control, but only when he puts on his mask. His arrogance puts off many people, but somehow it is overlooked whenever he dons his superhero costume.
Residence:
PRT Building
Parental status:
Both are alive and well living in San Francisco, California.
Costume:
A white full-body suit with white boots and gloves alongside a black masquerade mask to cover a large part of Alex's face, all the while his hair is slicked back. The costume has no inherent protection value.
Power:
Chromatic Overload - Alex has the power to change the colors of everything around him in the world. Likewise he can "create" his own "colors" that appear to be floating blobs of paint that can have diverse effects when they come into contact with a target. He can then fling these masses of color at his opponents as a means of combat. RED would burn, BLUE would drench, YELLOW would electrify, etc. The effects cannot be interchanged between colors as they are unique to their individual coloring. While most of his powers revolve around "adding" color, Alex also has the ability to "subtract" color which will turn the affected object or person invisible. The effects of Chromatic Overload's color-changing aspect can be negated by Trump powers or by exiting Alex's range, but the color that is created can only be removed by Alex or Trump powers, making their effects possibly permanent.
Power range:
100m general range. Colors can only be created and manipulated less than 1m away from his hands, afterwards it is entirely based on momentum and can no longer be controlled, only erased. Thrown colors cannot exit the 100m range unless they land on something, at which point they can. Colors can be changed at the full 100m range, same with removing colors. Changed colors that go beyond the 100m range will naturally revert to their natural colors without any intervention. Any object that has had its colors removed will also return to normal once it passes the 100m range.
Power safeguards:
Alex has complete immunity to his own powers. He cannot change his own colors, he cannot apply colors to himself, and he cannot take colors away from himself. This only applies to his body directly, as he can still use Chromatic Overload on his clothes and equipment just fine.
