Fizzler

Name: Fizzler Fernendez
Age: 27
Race: human
Hair Color: indigo
Eye Color: Black
Height: 6'8"
Weight: 142
Occupation: Loner
Personality: usually quiet, out of neccessity. just watch out when he talks.
Appearance: Tall and Skinny.
History: When he was born he had a normal childhood, at least until the age of 8 when he discovered his unique power, unfortunately it killed his mom.
That fateful day, he was in the garden with his mom when his mother was pulling weeds. Suddenly his mom noticed a rose that was beginning to wilt. As she began to pull it out of the ground, Fizzler stopped her.
"Mom, don't. It will still grow." he said, pleading with her. Unfortunately for him, it did just that. The flower grew, as well as the thorns. one thorn pierced his mom's heart, killing her. This scared him so much that he ran away before his dad could find out.
Skills: This could easily be the most overpowered skill ever conjured, so I'm going to dumb it down a lot AND point out it's many faults for the level zero version...
Put Simply, all he has to do to make something happen is say it happens. Now, before I get into the downsides of such powers, I'm going to place some restrictions on this.
He can only affect the environment. this means he can NOT affect people directly.
He has to say what he wants to happen out loud.
He can not affect anything outside of a 6 foot range
He can not make anything happen that can't happen naturally. (For example, no making things float, no bending poles, no making buildings shrink, no making weapons appear out of mid-air, etc. )
In the case of the rose, though, he was able to make it grow, because flowers grow naturally. It just got out of control, which brings me to the final restriction.
He has to be very precise in what he wants to happen, or be prepared to suffer the consequences.

Speaking of consequences, here are the many downsides of his ability:
If he does not give a detailed description of what he wants to happen, and what he says ends up having multiple meanings, chances are it will be misinterpretted. (This, by the way, is why his mom died. first of all, he never specified what 'It' was, second, he never specified what direction it would grow in, third, he never specified how much it would grow.)
Because he has to say in detail and out loud what is going to happen his moves can take a long time to pull off.
for the same reason, his moves are easy to see coming.
If I make a typo in this character's speech in a battle, guess what, the typo will end up being what he actually says. this could lead to disasttrous results.
In battles against other PCs, I am only allowed to type what he says, I have to leave the interpretation up to my opponents. Once again, the results could be disastrous.
He can actually sometimes accidentally affect himself in a negative way. (His eye color is black because he complained about having 2 black eyes.)
He has to remain antisocial because he can't turn his power off, so to speak. there are certain phrases that could easily cause disaster if he spoke them that are sadly part of everyday speech.
(If you want me to add more restrictions and bad sides to this, I'd be happy to do so, just suggest them)
