Rank: Rogue
Canon/OC: Canon
Canon World/Face Claim: Tiger + Bunny
Other Characters: Zargabaath, Batman
Powers And Abilities
Strengths:
NEXT powers
Lunatic is able to summon a blue/green flame at will. This flame is incredibly hot and can burn through most material. He has gained the ability to control it perfectly, stopping it burning himself, though when he was younger and his powers first showed, he could not stop it or control it in any way. Now, he can make it do exactly as he wishes.
Agility
He is swift and agile, and in close combat can be quite dangerous when his swift strikes are coupled with fire (not to say he likes close combat. He doesn't.). He is equally swift at escaping, able to use his NEXT fire to boost him mid-jump or change the direction he is moving mid-air.
Research and knowledge
Being a trained judge, Lunatic is great at researching others, finding out their secrets and exploiting their weaknesses.
Technical know-how
Lunatic has some knowledge of computers and hacking.
Weaknesses:
Humanity
Lunatic is, aside from his NEXT powers, entirely human. He can be wounded, become ill and die just like everyone else.
Physical traits
Although fast, Lunatic is not particularly strong and relies on speed. He cannot take many hits before going down.
Mentally unstable
Unpredictable and uncontrollable, Lunatic's logic is twisted and this can sometimes be a disadvantage as it blinkers him to what's happening around him.
Weapons And Equipment:

Crossbow
Lunatic carries a crossbow, though it is not completely required to aim his fire properly. It helps with propulsion if he forms the fire into arrows, and is a nice, threatening appearance to his victims.
Smart phone
He also carried a smart phone with access to various stored databases and reference libraries. The cellphone part only works in New York City and other 'modern' settings.
Personal Information
Personality:
Yuri Petrov is a man split in half. Outside of his Lunatic persona, he appears as a long suffering, exhausted man who works as a judge for the justice bureau in his home town of Sternbild. Always helping others and seeming fair and neutral, he also acts as a liaison between the justice bureau and the hero TV programme. His eyes often reflect his irritation at most of these meetings, and yet he always appears mild mannered and respectful. In truth, he uses his position to research his potential targets when out and about as a vigilante.
He was always told to do what was right, and to serve out justice to those who demanded it. By night, he dons the terrifying visage of Lunatic and hunts the streets to deal out vigilante justice to those that have committed terrible crimes. Lunatic is not afraid to kill. His NEXT powers allow him to incinerate others and he does so without hesitation. Murderers, rapists and other criminals have no moment of peace nor mercy once he is hunting them and he will not stop until they are dead.
He is not stable. Yuri sees visions of his dead father, and hears voices whispering in his ears. Often, whilst in his Lunatic guise, he will claim to hear 'the voice of Thanatos', the god of death, and demands that he must meet out justice on behalf of this dark deity. Lunatic is a dangerous enemy indeed.
History:
Lunatic was born to the first Hero, Mr. Legend, and his loving wife. At first, he had a great childhood. His father was the perfect role-model and taught him morality and heroism and how to behave from a young age. How he should never turn a blind eye to evil, and how he should become someone strong to punish those that are evil.
It so happened that as he reached his teenage years, his father turned more and more to alcohol to try and dull the pain he felt over his waning NEXT powers. The alcohol lead to violence and Yuri's mother was the victim. She took the beatings without complaint.
Until one day, in the garage of their home, his father wouldn't stop. Finally, Yuri couldn't stand to see what was happening any longer and he tried to stop his father. Unfortunately, during this moment of high emotion, his NEXT powers kicked in and he burnt his father alive with his blue-green fire, unable to control it or stop it. As he died, his father grabbed his face and left him a permanent burn across most of it in the shape of his father's hand - a scar he covers with make-up.
Sample Post
It was never truly dark for him. Eyes glowed the brightest blues and greens as he walked the length of the alleyway, his steps long and uneven, his body so relaxed it seemed to move too fluidly to be natural. The woman in front of him quivered and sobbed.
But she was a killer. So it was okay.
He took a few more steps, cutting off her escape route with efficiency, calculating just the right place to stand to make sure she couldn't run. Smoothly, he raised the crossbow, the tip of it bare inches from her face.
"And with this, justice will be served."
His words were cold, void of feeling except the fervour of one who truly believed he was doing the right thing. She gave a strangled whine.
"I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to. Please! PLEASE! You can't!"
The vigilante tutted at her words, his head tilting to the side almost curiously, though his crossbow remained still as stone. He slowly shook his masked head, fire still blazing from his eyes.
"The lord of death has spoken, and you have committed the gravest of sins. There is only one punishment for your actions - death."
She screamed as she burnt. It was a mixed set of feelings that flowed through him every time. The scream was a last cry for mercy; something she would never be allowed. And yet, it irritated him that people would question his judgement, that people could not see what they had done was wrong. He turned from the ashen corpse and stalked away down the alley.
