Generally wide-eyed and full of wonder, hope, and joy. Niall is an encouraging and comforting presence, or at least he tries to be. There are, however, a few things that will spiral him into a depressive pop-psychology paranoia.

Personality

Driven:
Niall has the overarching goal of finding his father and enforcing a showdown. This is really stupid, since the man has remained completely absent (as far as Niall or his author at this point know) from his and his mother's life, wouldn't recognize him, and why would he want to fight Niall... But attachment issues don't exactly lead to rational decision-making. It certainly gives him motivation, though, both for things (for example, rescuing someone) and against things (such as, against just getting a CPA license, doing taxes, and living a great life as a family man).

Naivete:
Niall is not worldly, he's from Topeka--and under 20. He's not STUPID, mind you. He'll learn. But right now he's likely to be easy to manipulate.

Not From Around Here:
Topeka is a long way from Metropolis and the Eastern Seaboard. The greater metro area has a population of around 250k. That's it. It is a remarkable city in that, somehow, most Americans have heard of it. Some might even know that it's "in Kansas or Nebraska." The vastness of the city he grew up in could fit in a neighborhood of his new city. He will thus not be as tied into culture, will come from different assumptions of how things operate, and be more easily impressed than locals.

Semi-Paranoia:
Once he becomes or is made aware of manipulation, he will snap into an unreasonable pop-psychology paranoia. Again, he'll learn. Probably. Some people never do, after all.

Powers

"invulnerability":
Niall stopped a city bus and suffered a single broken rib. So, no, clearly he's not ACTUALLY invulnerable... but it sure does take way too much effort to hurt him, harm him, and keep him down. If an explanation is necessary, this is a multifaceted combination of factors: Tissues tougher than usual, a weak ablative energy barrier in the skin, an innate psychokinetic reflex that spreads forces around and through his entire body, along with just being a tough dude.

Microregeneration:
(Minor, Undiscovered) No, look, if you lop his arm off it's going to take like a decade to grow it back--maybe more. But damaged cells don't fibrotically scar, they all regenerate yet without interfering with normal hypertrophic results of damage and healing (otherwise exercise would just restore him to yesterday's ability).

Peak Health:
(Minor) Niall is at peak human health, equivalent to a professional athlete with an obsession for proper diet and sleep. Oxygen efficiency, energy, recovery, growth, flexibility, visual and auditory acuity, whatever--he's got it. This sustains and is sustained by his Microregeneration.

Skills

Athletic:
Duh. His super abilities have been present to certain a certain degree all of his life, which easily leads to a natural athleticism.

Handyman:
Homesteading teaches you carpentry, roofing, plumbing, electrical work, and a whole mess of other skills--none of them to city code.

Hunting:
Not the city kind. Actually going out into the forest or mountains, tracking game, making the kill... look, just watch Mountain Men or Homestead Rescue.

Lives At Home:
His mom's a reporter, which means she only *looks* like she's got money. But he's got food on the table and a reasonably safe place to sleep.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

Biohazard:
(Undiscovered) Niall's cells are active and aggressive after separating from his body far longer than most. At this point in his development, under normal circumstances the worst that happens is that people may inconsistently experience mild allergy symptoms if he's fighting a cold or recovering from a fight. Those with compromised immune systems are more likely to suffer. When Niall is injured and microregenerating more intensely, though, he releases more damaged and active cells into the air. When he was in the hospital overnight for his broken rib, the ER had to admit more patients to the hospital-proper than expected. All chalked up to "well, it was a supers fight," but eventually the pattern will become signal, not noise. If he were near death, giving mouth-to-mouth would be dangerous to a normal human. This will scale as his powers scale.

Mom and Grandad:
Moreso Mom. They are both unpowered, unprivileged, and Niall loves them both. Honestly Mom is a public figure and has at least one superhero lover, but they're not exactly watching out for her. A couple might show up AFTER they get word she's been harmed or kidnapped. And while Grandad has some serious *Copperhead Road* energy going on (probably where Niall gets his paranoid behaviours from), he's only safe in his homestead--and he goes out with the boys plenty. Grandad would probably seriously hurt anyone who attacked him at home with bombs, bullets, knives, and traps... but in the end, he'd be kidnapped or killed successfully for sure.

Psionics:
(Undiscovered) Niall may be stubborn, but his mental core is inflexible. He will break before he bends, which is like psychic ceramic: Hard, but brittle.
