Hair Color: blond
Eye Color: green
Skin Color: western European
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 11
Status: Hero
Sexual Orientation: strait
Group: YHA
Powers: Bubbles
Weakness: long battles: Erin is still young and doesn't have a lot of stamina
Strength: indoors: Erin's bubbles can not be poped except by him. he can easily fill up a room with bubbles to stop people from getting away.
Personality: happy and adventurous. Erin loves being a part of the YHA and sees each day as a new adventure. The problem with this is that he can very easily get in over his head. Criss has had to pull him out of more then one fire.
Background: Erin lived with a woman he calls Aunt May before he joined the YHA. She is his Godmother and the only family he knows. His parents were killed when he was 4.

I still don't know a lot about Erin's past, and his parents are still a bit of a mystery though i know they are important. i believe he comes from a family with a lot of power, and he has definitely inherited it. he used to live in an apartment complex with Aunt May and because of his personality he knew over half the people in the building, so even though he has never known any of his family he was never alone and doesn't regret it. in a way he had an enormous family.

Erin has had his powers for as long as he can remember and though no one has told him so he guesses that he got them in the car crash that killed his parents. his godmother brought him up on stories of heroes and he always wanted to be one of them so it was bound to happen at some point, though the fact that it happened so soon worries Aunt May. because of all the stories and because he's still a little kid he is naive. he would have probably gotten himself killed if he hadn't joined the YHA which is one of the only reasons She let him join. She knows Exactly what the YHA is and insists that he come home for dinner at least once a week so she knows he's still alive. if she had her way he would still live with her rather then at the base but in the end she let him have his way about that so long as he still does his homework.

Erin is the little kid of the group for a long time. he is often seen chasing after the others and getting into trouble that they have to get him out of. he is often compared to a puppy when it comes to his personality. in the end though he is a valued member of the team and this becomes apparent when Adam and Criss leave. when it happens Erin is the one who fills in the extra shifts and takes the lead when Ben falls apart. during this time he and Gavin become close since Gavin is the only one who can still think strait. it also becomes clear at this point exactly how young he is. he tries his hardest but makes a lot of mistakes and doesn't organize things well and most of the others are too messed up to help. finally it all catches up with him and he gets hurt. a broken arm and a few cracked ribs. when the others come to visit him everything comes out and he forces them (with the help of Gavin) to sit down and talk things out and figure out what to do next.

unlike some of the others he never gives up on Adam and Criss mainly because he knows Criss the best (he sees her as an older sister) and he trusts her judgment. he is not the first to put together the fact that Strike is only hitting certain targets, but he is the first to believe he's doing it for good. when strike finally reveals everything and is "killed" in the big climax he is the first to offer Criss her place back in the group. she declines and becomes a civilian for a while. though as an adult she does join/rejoin the group of heroes who have graduated from the YHA.

As an adult Erin is one of the primary leaders of the new team if Ben was Superman he would be a combo of Flash and possibly GL. he is also a lot like Kile Rayner. fun loving and able to see the bright side but quite capable of leading a team in a crisis.
