Around 10 years ago, there existed on this earth, a sorcerer. He wasn't truly a grand wizard, but he was also not just a dabbler. He had skill, that was a given, but most of it was a natural talent which he put very little work into, always assuming since he was so good at it, there was no requirement to put the study in. This was to be his downfall. He used his talents in wizardry and combined it with his excellent management and financial skills to create a nice little money empire. Given enough time, and plenty of money to spend, he started growing bored.

Then, hearing of an ancient tome that was supposed to detail how to summon elemental beings, he considered an idea. If he could summon a being of elemental technology, or even one of electricity, he could use that elemental to really make some money for himself in this world of computers and electronics. He spent considerable time searching for this tome, and even a good amount of money, and as always, he was successful and found it. Reading the book from front to back would have been the prudent and wise thing to do, and if any other hard working wizard had been asked, that's what they would have done. But, that would have taken time, and as anyone can tell you, most of those instructions are redundant anyway, right?

Finding the ritual he was looking for, and gathering the ingredients necessary, he started the summons. Had he read correctly, he would have understood that even though the ritual does work, and it summons exactly what it states it will, it has an important side effect. It siphons the life energy of the caster to open the gate, and to power the summoned being. Needless to say, the wizard died in his vast hidden offices, and Ozone was born.

The first thing he did was communicate with the computer system, learning all about Roger Thornton (the Wizard) and the world he was in. Then he examined his surroundings carefully. This was not a world he was used to, but the ritual was powerful enough (the wizard himself was sacrificed, instead of what normally would be an animal sacrifice or an innocent victim) to make his presence here permanent. He decided to make the most of his new home, taking the form of the wizard himself. He found the television and flipped it on, and was bombarded by violence, in the news, in the movies, and even in the cartoons and humor. As an innocent (regarding this world, not his own), he opted to take Roger's place in the world and learn as much about the mundane world, as Ozone, he opted to wander around on his own and see what he could do to clean things up a bit. Since this was his new world, and he has power here, he wants it to be the best possible.

Ozone- A heavy mist, composed of exotic gases and slightly charged. Mostly appears as a white mist, like steam escaping or a very thick fog. When he's using his powers, especially his Whirlwind and Ionization powers, he starts sparking with static electricity throughout the cloud, just like those cool orbs that you put your hands on with the electricity inside. No damage is done by this, it's just for effect. He will typically shape himself like a natural cloud of sorts, a roaming mist, but he will at times form into a vague humanoid, or other shapes. He does this sometimes to communicate easily over a distance. Most of his powers are invisible, except for possibly the effects of the Ionization.

Roger Thornton- A very good looking man, with chiseled features and muscular body. He appears as a gymnast would appear, muscly but not overblown. He has had a little experience now with what the former Roger wore, so he typically wears custom made suits, really nice ties, and expensive leather shoes. He has a limousine, as he hasn't fully gotten the handle on driving.
