Weatherby Goode originally began life as a joke character on the Infinity server. But as these thing go, I ended up really enjoying his powersets, and I got quite attached to him. I eventually fleshed out his backstory, one thing led to another, and he got re-rolled on Virtue so I could RP him.
OMGRETCONS incoming! You have been warned.

In Game Biography
Frustrated that his forecasts were always wrong, Channel 7 weatherman Bill Burnham decided that if he couldn't predict the weather, he would learn to control it. Spending countless hours at the Paragon Public Library, Bill immersed himself in the study of Tempest magic. As his abilities improved and his forecasts grew ever more accurate, Bill came to realize that he could be much more than a lowly meteorologist. Taking the name of WEATHERBY GOODE Bill crafted a new heroic identity.

Personality
Powers
Weatherby's's powers are the result of extensive study of the arcane arts, particularly in regards to weather. Since he is mostly self taught, his magical style is unconventional and chaotic. This also makes his spells very effective against those trained in the more classical, rigid styles of magic. By the same token, his magic is largely imprecise, and sometimes causes undesired effects. Recently, the Legacy Chain has begun instructing him in the use of earth magics to supplement his knowledge of storm magic.
Earth Control
Weatherby's's instruction at the hands of The Legacy Chain have given him control over the very earth he walks on. His spells can encase foes in pillars of stone, turn the ground into a slurry of quicksand, or even unleash an earthquake.
Storm Summoning
The very first spell Bill ever cast caused a small snowstorm to erupt in the Paragon Public Library. Since that time, his control over the weather has steadily improved. Presently, he has a great degree of control over winds and storms.
Smith & Wesson Victory Model Revolver
In addition to his potent magic, Weatherby carries his father's S&W Victory Model service revolver. The pistol is loaded with six silver bullets, reserved for more resilient magical creatures and other non-human threats.
