HISTORY: Deseronto was born during a thunderstorm on a Native American reservation in Arizona to a family of five. He has two older brothers(twins) and three older sisters but he is the only one who's shown magical talent. The Chief of his tribe during the time of his birth named him "Deseronto" meaning "Lightning has struck", It was common knowledge within the tribe at the time that the chief was also magically inclined but sadly he didn't live long enough to share his knowledge to the newborn. As Deseronto aged his powers flourished out of control, by the age of two years old he was causing electronics to short circuit when he cried. No one knew it was the young child causing the accidents except his parents and they intended to keep everyone in the dark about his powers for along as they could, including his siblings.
Growing up on the reservation gave him plenty of freedom in his younger years although being the youngest in a family of five made him the butt of all jokes and the goat for all mistakes and he would never tell on his siblings, he would simply take responsibility and edure the punishment, but once his brothers left for college Des was left alone in a house of girls which was awkward to say the least. He spent most of his days exploring and practicing to control his powers in private and although he wasn't able to master much he did find out that he is able to absorb an indefinite amount of electricity, giving him a rush similar to that of a potent drug. When Des turned nine years old his father started bringing him to work with him in order to escape the house of estrogen.
Des' father owned a ranch and spent most of the day their breaking in horses and caring for them. Once his father began bringing him to work almost on a daily bases after school he taught him how to ride a horse and at an early age he excelled at it. The two would ride through the hills together and shared a strong father son bond. Unfortunately this all stopped when Des was ten years old and an unsettled bronco bucked his father off causing him to fractured his spine upon making contact with the ground. Things got harder for the family now that his father was paralyzed from the waist down. Des' two older brothers were forced to quite school and come back home to take over the family ranch to keep money coming through the door since Des was still to young to take over. At this time Des' mother was the volunteer school teacher on the reservation, So naturally he spent the most time with her during the weekdays. The connection between Deseronto and his mother was the strongest within the whole family, it was here blood after all that gave Des his abilities. She was the daughter and the only decedent of the head chief and even though she was well in her forties and magic had skipped over her in the lineage she still radiated beauty and was the kindest soul on the reservation. A few years after his fathers paralyzation Des' mother became gravely ill from what was later discovered to be Breast cancer. Unable to pay for treatment due to pilled up medical bills from his father accident Deseronto's mother died with him still at the fragile age of fifteen.
Unable to coop with the grief Des' subconsciously conjured a huge thunderstorm in his sadness that loomed over and ravaged the whole state of Arizona. No one was killed but there was damage to many homes and even to the nearby town. Although no one in his family blamed him for the trouble he caused they began to seek help for him and after years of searching they found Hecate Academy.
Although reluctant to leave his family Des decided it would be best to be with others similar to him and on his sixteenth birthday he was accepted into Merlin coven much to his surprise. He has happily accepted his place as a role model and leader when necessary for the last three years but he truly believes in his heart that his calling is to protect others with his gift.
ELECTRICITY MANIPULATION: Des can create, shape and manipulate electricity, a form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles, which gives him some control over electric fields, electric currents, electronics, and electromagnetism.
Limitations:
Des must charge or absorb electricity before he can use it, but he always has some control over the electromagnetic field in his immediate vicinity allowing him to attract objects to him(especially metals) or attract himself to other objects(stick to objects via static cling) and vice versa(repel objects, or himself from objects)
WEATHER MANIPULATION: Des can sense, create, shape and manipulate weather, creating rain, wind, hail, lightning, snow, sleet, fog and temperature changes. This includes the ability to generate various natural phenomena or control the intensity of the weather in highly concentrated (inside room) or vastly extended (continental) areas, although his magic is not nearly powerful enough to cover continental areas yet.
Limitations:
Deseronto's Weather manipulation abilities are highly affected by his emotional state. He does his best to stay happy all the time so that the sun can stay shining. At this point in his learning even though he can manipulate the weather Des has very limited control over nature. In other words If its going to rain he can't stop
OTHER: Deseronto was and still is a 100% momma's boy, in remembrance of his mother he treats every woman/girl with the utmost respect and can't stand to see anyone harm or mistreat a female. Because of this Des' has been frequently stuck in the friend zone by girls that he likes and has never had a girlfriend due to being raised on a reservation were everyone is basically already related. He gets very awkward and tongue tied around girls he likes but he's always a gentleman.
PETER THE FALCON
Peter is Des' Peregrine falcon familiar. Peter and Des technically met during the aftermath of the massive thunder storm that Des caused. While cleaning up some of the mess he found Peter's egg alone in a nest on the ground surrounded by broken eggs and with no parent around. Des decided to take care of the unborn chic and Peter upon hatching decided to stick around, since then the two have been inseparable. Peter is a young soul, he's extremely imaginative and playful but also incredibly brave for his small stature. He brings out the best in Des and always knows how to cheer him up. The two rarely argue and complement each other quite nicely, they also have the ability to see through each others eyes even when miles apart. Des is unsure if this is a power he only shares with Peter or if he is able to do this with all animals.
