Spoiler:

Powers:
Invisibility - The ability to render things unseen by the naked eye. Husher can make himself and objects within a five metre radius invisible all except the bones in his body. It takes several seconds for something to become invisible.

Skills:
- Wheeling and dealing.
- Bartering.
- The soft sell.

Weaknesses:
Invisibility - Along with his own bones he can't make any other bones or teeth disappear. He also cannot effect lead, any radioactive element, or mirrors. After an hour of continuous use he tires and would need to rest. If Husher was asleep, knocked out, or killed anything invisible would become visible again.

Use of other spectrums can find what has been rendered invisible. In rain or snow or similar falling hazards the outline of anything invisible would be easily found. Husher himself cannot see things he has made invisible.

While he may sometimes look like a skeleton, he isn't really one. He dies to things that non-skeleton people die to. Like bombs, and guns, and tea-cosies.

Other - Husher sticks out a mile in polite company, he cannot hide his dodgy bearing. Very greedy, easily tempted, doesn't know the phrase 'a deal too good to be true'. Carries around a lot of merchandise, which would rob him of stealth.

Equipment:
- Flick-knife
- Fingerless gloves with brass knuckles
- Comb
- Collapsible stun baton
- Various odds and ends to sell




Personality:
Even the common man could stick their nose up at Husher. He radiates slyness, and is exactly the type of person who deals with the back alley business that is stereotypically unsavoury. He doesn't ask questions and would deny a crime until he was blue in the face, no matter the witnesses. If there's a whiff of a deal, he's off giving his glib spiel. As a black market distributer he lives from deal to deal, quick with a smile, a wink, and a handshake.

While money is everything, he doesn't mean harm to his fellow man. But if it's out of sight, it's out of mind. Overall, however, he's as decent as any fellow when it comes to another's suffering. Husher would describe it as being 'on the level'. This charity stops when it comes to any sort of crime fighting unit. He feels victimised by both the police and superheroes.

In his private life he is convivial and quick with a joke. He doesn't mind having a impertinent comment at his superiors, but it's done in good fun. He values his comrades but isn't above making a profit off of them.

Likes:
- Flirting
- Trading
- Cash in hand
- Whisky
- Anything that's free

Dislikes:
- The constabulary
- Superhero groups
- People who can't make their minds up

History:
Andy was born in a houseboat to a single mother and their extended family. There was always some illicit item of some kind passing through their living room. They would travel up and down the canals with them, acting as middlemen to a booming black market economy. As Husher got older his uncles would take him down to London to watch them broker deals. They didn't mind if they took him out of school to do so.

At about twelve they made him the victim of a lot of responsibility. If an arrangement fell through they would pin the blame on him, the one unable to defend themselves. In response Andy upped his game. He would often promise the same piece of merchandise to three different people just in case one of them changed their minds.

Times got harder still when Andy discovered his metahuman ability. His uncles were determined that it would be used for the good of the Husher family cause. They pushed him to get better at it, but he was not a fast learner. The uncles gradually became more violent, Andy suspected they killed a school-teacher of his that he had confided in. His mother tapped some family savings and the two fled the country.

They chose Jump City due to its metahuman reputation, his mother thought it would be of benefit to her son. Unfortunately they had no job and were strapped for cash. Reluctantly Andy integrated himself into the Californian criminal underground as a means of support. He found the lifestyle more enjoyable now that his uncles weren't looking for their share.

Several years on Husher is almost an adult, and starting to be taken more seriously by the other black market traders. Especially considering the intimidating countenance he invented for himself. Since he could render his skin and his organs invisible he would conduct transactions as a walking, talking skeleton by the codename of Osseus.

In search of further skills, he has applied to enrol in the HIVE school.
