Personality
As Browbeat progressed through high school, he craved solitude even while his social circle thwarted this desire. Finding this odd he eventually went to a psychologist, after studying his family history, came to the tentative conclusion that he might have schizophrenia, yet to manifest.
Anecdotally, his powers are the result of him seeing what would happened if he suddenly jumped into the freezing Bay. Further his early career as solo hero was Browbeat empirically determining the extant of his abilities.
Appearance
His appearance is not explicitly referenced in depth
Abilities and Powers
Browbeat has two powers - short-range telekinesis and biokinesis; his abilities are mutually reinforcing. Further in the face of a Trump that affects one aspect of his powers the other half would generally need a separate counter.
T-K
His telekinesis is a personal force field with some crude control, having a multiplicative effect on his physical strength.
B-K
His physical strength is bolstered by his biokinesis, as he makes himself into a physical Adonis. He can patch up his own wounds and harden tissues, accumulate calcium into stone-like plates under his skin, and may well reflexively dampen the damage from burns, poisons/venoms and electricity damage as the damage takes hold.

His Biomanipulation does not seem to be permanent as he drastically reduces his muscle mass afterward. <ref name="I3">https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/09/20/interlude-3-2/ Interlude 3</ref>
He was durable enough to survive damage from Leviathan.<ref name="8.5">https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/17/extermination-8-5/ Extermination 8.5</ref>
History
Background
As Browbeat progressed through high school, he became more solitary even as his social circle kept dragging him out of the 'peace and quiet' and back into the 'noise and hubbub'. Eventually, he went to a psychologist and, after studying his family history, came to the tentative conclusion that he might have schizophrenia, yet to manifest.
Sometime later when out with a friends family on their boat Browbeat would walk off the side into the march-temperature water. In doing so, he suffered major physical trauma, nearly died, and ultimately triggered.
The PRT found out about his power after the hospital notified them of his fast recovery time. His family and the PRT discussed options (including a stay in an asylum in Philadelphia) while they figured out a balance of mental health and powers. Ultimately, they decided he was safe to stay for the Wards for the time being.<ref>Wildbow on Spacebattles</ref>
