Appearance:

Personality: Ross is a serious, strong-minded young man who believes that though the world has mainly shades of gray, you should always try to do right by people as much as yourself.

Background: In a family of high-profile targets on the NYPD 'find a way to nab' list, Ross Shreveson was the black sheep, a throughly law-abiding young citizen. His father, Brendan Shreveson, is a major organized crime kingpin in the Big Apple. His mother, Belinda, a former fashion model, is similarly the head of the Shreveson activities in prostitution, and other 'sex work'.

Growing up a impressionable young man, Ross was exposed in his early youth to the viewpoints in the world presented to children of a young age. The basic 'good guy' viewpoint of popular culture made the young man distinctly at ill ease with the honest, and blatantly emerging truth that he was being brought up in a family of villains, not matter the efforts Brendan made to impress on his son otherwise.

This point was driven home by the fact that at the critical stages of junior high and high school, despite his good looks and sociability, he was always stigmatized by the open secret of his family, and there always was a few students in classes whose families had suffered greatly from the Shreveson mob. Added often being stopped and harassed by police officers, and Ross felt sick to his stomach.

Despite his father's efforts to indoctrinate Ross and his sister Monica, only Monica gave in to the dark world and temptation that Brendan attempted to submerge his offspring in, agreeing to become the heir to the mob.

Ironically, the power that he initially denied, would be shown to him again, but in a different form. After a family argument, 17 year old Ross stormed into his room and slammed the door, or so he heard the sound of. As he realized the next moment, he already was several feet away from the now closed door, making the occurrence impossible. Then, as he stared for a moment in surprise, the door opened itself again.

After the course of a shocking half-minute, and a few more opening and closings, Ross recognized what had happened. Thankfully, the yell of his father to stop slamming the door or get additional punishments confirmed this discovery to be secret.

However, the Mob had made efforts to somewhat successfully recruit novas, and Ross feared his family would no longer give him any choice if they uncovered his nova abilities. Seeing as the bridges were already smoldering, the youth decided to smash them altogether, acquiring proof of criminal enterprises and fleeing to the feds, who put him in protective custody until Ross was a legal adult and the crackdown well underway.

Now, it's a virtual certainty that he'll be pulled into the DSA, and the only thing to be decided is what role he should take on.
