Name: Jack Galthone
DUP Codename: Attland (it was the name he gave to a person who witnessed him putting out a house fire)
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Appearance: A thin Caucasian man of average height and build. His dark brown hair is cut short for ease and is generally messy. In terms of facial hair he maintains noticeable stubble as he doesn't think to shave on a daily basis. His eyes are coloured ocean blue and the colour itself seems to spill into the whites of his eyes at random times. During his regular day he wears a pair of black jeans, a white t-shirt, a grey hoodie covered in odd blue tribal marking he thought to dye onto it awhile back, and a pair of black running shoes. He usually has a grey coloured backpack as well. When he needs to use his powers in an overt way and doesn't want to have his face plastered all over the news he supplements his regular clothes by wearing a gasmask and some leather gloves, he also puts on a kevlar vest (he took from a cop he knocked out) if he has time to grab it from his apartment or is heading to a meeting. While he's at his day job he works as a paramedic, so while on the job he wears medical scrubs, medical gloves, and white sneakers.
Personality: Attland tries to live life as normal as he can for someone both mildly terminally ill and superhuman. Aside from the issues of his cystic fibrosis (which makes for a convenient excuse for getting out of work) and superhuman identity (explained in the affiliations section) he tries to be a kind man, living life as well as he can, which is why he went to medical school, he wanted to understand himself and help others in the process. It is the job of the strong to protect the weak of course, he does wonder which category he fits in his case though. Generally laid back in manner and easy going, but able to pull off a sudden bout of grim seriousness if the mood strikes him.
Biography: Born to a lower income family in Detroit with the problems associated with such conditions, his childhood was bad with small moments of good mixed in. He did well in school at a young age and eventually made his way to medical school, where he did well enough long enough to be accepted as a paramedic (he dropped out mainly due to money problems). He doesn't exactly know how he became a conduit or when, but he's dealt with cystic fibrosis all his life and it seems to be alleviated when he doesn't use his powers, so he's assuming that it either happened in early childhood or he's somehow always been one. It wasn't until he was a teenager and high that he had realized he had a control over water, it took years to gain actual control over his control of it and stop it happening subconsciously. It took even longer for him to become powerful enough for practical applications.
Affiliation: Currently the Conduit Nation. While he agrees with the ideals of the Free Conduit league, he realizes humanity in general is too bigoted and superstitious to accept superior beings with magic like powers walking amongst them. While he tries to avoid lethality in his efforts, he recognizes that people who are after him as a conduit usually don't hesitate in their efforts to contain him. He meets lethality with lethality if he has to and acts as his conscience directs him. He also has a vigilante streak to him when it comes to crime.
Powers: Hydrokinesis with the healthy amount of crossover/overlap with Cryokinesis that would come with it. The uses are basically limitless.
He tends to make up his uses on the fly so I don't think that listing specific powers would be a good idea as the real strength of this is its possible applications.
But I will list some basic examples: Through his understanding of human anatomy he has determined how to freeze someone in such a way as to avoid killing them but to paralyze their motor functions, he also has determined how to freeze someone solid in such a way as to freeze them solid, killing them near instantly as their body would most likely fall apart if it ever thawed. He likes to pull moisture from the air to produce glass like strips of ice, the ends usually a knife shape with razor sharp edges (He practiced knife throwing as a teenager). He can pull the moisture from the air to produce a shield, freezing it solid to produce a shield. He has no real transportation applications of his power (on land) but he has become skilled at parkour and running in general. He hesitates to use his ability to manipulate the water in the living but he has no such qualms about the dead, if pulling their fluids from them to help him survive is something he needs to do he'll do it.
In terms of power advancement, it would come down to his level of control and the level of use he can pull off before it would make him ill.
Weaknesses: Usage of the power can lead to temporary conditions not unlike the effects cystic fibrosis. This led to him being diagnosed with it at a young age before he had control or understanding or the ability to affect anything in more than minor ways. Also, living organisms tend to show a minor resistance to direct manipulation of their fluids, conduits have a more noticeable resistance making them harder to kill in the more brutal possible applications of the power or on the other hand healing.

Edit 1: Toned down the brutality of the examples.
Edit 2/3: Switched him over to Conduit Nation, changed some things a bit, filled in a personality.
Edit 4/5: Tweaks tweaks tweaks
