Detailed Description:
Julian is a dark, wavy haired boy that has eyes that lift slightly at the corners framing grayish blue irises. He is not very tall in relation to boys his age though he is very light. He hardly eats as he should anymore and because of it, has been loosing weight faster than he can gain it back in muscle mass. He is not very tan, preferring to stay in the shade and out of the sun unless he's offered one of his favorite activities. Julian is normally found in jeans, converse, and a baseball t-shirt. He doesn't bother with his hair ever and rarely even bothers to brush it.

Personality:
{Outgoing || Uncertain || Guilty || Thoughtful || Caring}
Julian is outgoing and he will do whatever he wants whenever he wants so long as he has enough positive reasons over negative reasons. He will do things to the fullest even at the risk of his unhappiness. He will make sure that others get what they expected and more in anything they ask him to do or try. However, if there are too many negative reasons, it does not matter what you offer him, he will not do it and make it clear in the necessary way as he won't allow himself to be pushed into something he doesn't want to do so long as there is no reason for him to really do it.

Julian is uncertain about his life choices. He constantly doubts why things happen and why he does things, fearful that what he does will not end the way he wants it to end. Julian is very scared about messing up to the point where he cannot return and therefore, does everything he can to keep himself in a safe and positive way.

Julian is guilty about everything he does that results with hurting someone else so long as he was hurt before they did it. If he hurts someone first, he does not ever forget it whatsoever. He will always try to make things better as best he can, even going against his beliefs if he truly cares for the person. He will never wrong someone if he can help it though if they are cruel and undeserving, he will not hesitate to feel remorseless.

Julian is extremely thoughtful and he will always think of others first as often as he can. He does not believe in being selfish and therefore, will always consider every option in order to chose the best one in order to satisfy the most people. He is thoughtful to not only friends, but strangers. He cares more what friends think, but tries to satisfy strangers more as it is definitely a way to keep himself in the positive light as it allows him the possibility of more friends and favors in the future, though that is not his main goal in his thoughtfulness.

Julian is caring as he is always taking care of people. He may be guilty and hesitate on occasion, but he never forgets to be caring towards people and he does not ever doubt or think he's doing the wrong thing when he is being kind to people.

Oddities/Quirks:
Water || Julian loves and hates water at the same time. He loves to swim, however, should he not be focused, he can shock himself very badly. He has gotten burns from the level of the shocks he's received.
Night Terrors || Julian occasionally has night terrors. He cannot wake up from them until after they've passed. He sees his worst nightmares and actually sees his parents death, as he imagined it must have been causing the pain to be much worse than it otherwise was.

Powers:
Electricity Manipulation || Julian can control electricity. He can conduct it, create it, and shoot it, however, if he doesn't do it with concentration and control, he can shock himself, severely.
Electrolocation || Julian can see by sensing/seeing the electrical signals and pulses that are done throughout every little organism. He can tell where things are and what things are so long as there is no restrictions to what is around is head or near it. Julian cannot read though he can hear better than most people because of his time being blind.

Skills:
Piano || Julian can play piano and tell what key is what and what sound it makes without seeing it at all. He can play the piano beautifully and is very talented with it.
Singing || Julian rarely does this as he is very shy about it, but he has a beautiful voice that he has often been complemented on when he was very young.

Abilities:
Conduction/Insulation || Julian can conduct electricity by forcing the electricity through his body in a way that doesn't touch his heart or major organs, but can be sent back out. So long as Julian is focused, he can conduct whatever he wants or needs whenever he wants or needs. Julian can also insulate the electricity by taking it and breaking it down to his system for more energy.
Absorption || Julian can absorb electricity to transform it into energy for his own system. By doing so, he can run off of electricity like a machine, instead of getting sleep.
Projection/Manipulation || Julian is able to create and project electricity to targets whenever he wants/needs to so long as he has the energy. Julian can also manipulate the electricity when outside of his body and in his surroundings, controlling where it goes and when, though he has to either conduct it through himself and insulate it, or release it to another outage.

Fatal Flaw:
Uncertainty || Julian cannot make a decision without doubting it. He isn't sure who is with him for certain and who isn't. He hesitates about everything that he considers as he constantly fears that he will make a decision that takes away the remaining few he cares about.

Weaknesses:
Blindness || Because Julian is blind, he cannot read whatsoever. He has to be given braille if it is on paper, or be read it aloud. He hates that he can't read anymore, but he is thankful that he can still do things.
Painting || The only thing that couldn't get worse that required sight now that Julian doesn't have it is his painting abilities. He produces the same scribbles he did with his sight and therefore, he doesn't even bother to continue with the trying to paint.

Hopes:
Help Others || He hopes that one day he can keep others from getting hurt in any way whatsoever. He wants to see everyone happy and loved.
Escape || He can't stand the tests performed on him. The clothing he's forced to wear causes him pain because of the constant conduction over his skin, yet no release outside of the clothing causing him to continue to shock himself.

Dreams:
Seeing Color Again || As sad as it sounds, Julian craves to see the colors again, not just in his memories, but in person at that time. He wishes to see how people look more specifically and how things look with their different colors.
Musician || Julian dreams of the chance to become a musician where he can get paid to do what he loves. He doesn't let the fact that he can't read music inhibit his musical abilities.

Fears:
Death || As much as he feels guilty for his familiy's deaths, he still can't bear the idea that death might consume him.
Becoming Deaf || Julian can't bare the idea that he might loose one of the only other ways to contact people that he still has.

Secrets:
Revolutionist || Julian has kept the fact that he is against all of the testing SPRAD conducted.
Thankfulness || Julian refuses to admit that he is truly thankful that SPRAD did conduct tests on him.
Letter || The letter that Julian's brother sent him right before his death has yet to be opened. Julian keeps it hidden in his pocket, but always has it with him. He can't bring himself to find someone to read it because of the fact that it is so personal to him and the fact that he doesn't know anybody that he's close enough to, that he would want to read it to him.

Main Goals:
Closure || To find a way to help people and find closure for loosing his family so violently.
Philosophy:
Cruelty, intentional or not, is what causes the world to be so troubled and ununited.

Hometown:
London, England
History:
Julian was born in England to a small, poor family. His family had an apartment in the middle of London where the rent was extremely expensive, but the only way Julian could go to one of the nicer schools. He had one brother who was several years older who cared deeply for Julian, yet didn't see him often because of the school he attended overseas.

During the first bombing, Julian and his parents just made it out of the wreckage and into a bunker where they sat for hours, praying they'd be okay. It was later that same year that Julian's father was diagnosed with cancer. Julian's father had a very hard time as he tried to get the medicine he needed during the war.

Julian's older brother, Ulrich, enlisted in order to help in the war effort. During this time, Britain was having more bombs rained down upon it than when World War 2 hit it. Julian's father was still alive when Julian was hit by shrapnel. It pierced the back of his skull, cutting into his brain. He was in a coma for a few weeks before he woke up, blind. He was unable to see whatsoever because of where the shrapnel had pierced his brain. There was no chance for him to see again.

Julian's brother was then killed when he was trying to evacuate citizens during a bombing in France. Julian was devastated as he couldn't even read the final letter his brother had sent. Julian became depressed as he tried to recuperate after everything he had lost. Upon going into therapy, Julian found that he had a gift for playing piano. He had started when he was a child, yet had stopped because he thought it was too feminine. Julian took to piano and music better than anything else his therapist tried.

The day Julian was taken, the bombing was the largest yet. Julian's mother was killed in the first fall of bombs, and while Julian and his father ran for cover, there was another barrage. The two hid under the remains of one of the London Eye cars, hoping that they would keep going. However, when the next barrage came, when Julian and his father had continued running, shrapnel pierced Julian's father's body. He was killed up an impact to his head, leaving Julian alone as he clung to his fathers body as he couldn't tell where he was going.

Julian was taken after the bombings were over upon being found. He struggled and was told that he would be taken to where his mother was, not knowing she had been killed, under the impression that she had been separated from him and his father.

When Julian woke up after the injections, he found that he could see the electrical impulses things were giving off. He was very disoriented for the first few days, then discovered that the blank parts were walls, yet he could still see through them. He learned what was represented by what and how to tell who was who since he couldn't see faces and his hearing was, though very good, not as needed as before because he could see.

Writing Sample:
Julian struggled to breath in his room, feeling as if the world was closing in around him. He was curled into a ball in the corner of his cell. Six walls. One Bed. An IPod he was allowed to keep him calm. His Earbuds. Hardly anything else. It wasn't like he had anything else anyway considering it was all destroyed. It was as if World War 2 had struck again, but with modern day weaponry. Julian hadn't seen what had happened to his home, but rather heard it, the cries of his parents, the sorrow that the family felt as they believed they would no longer live and breath, tell each other they loved each other, be together. Julian felt tears well welling up in his eyes though he didn't let them fall, fearing it would only look bad to whoever was watching him right then. They were always being watched.

Julian found that his vision was not functioning the way it normally would or should. Everything was fuzzy, he couldn't discern people from the cell walls, his blindness was now a light vision of white, electrical in the intensity. He felt for his pocket, relieved that his letter was in there. Clutching it tightly, he evened out his breathing. He rolled onto his back, his eyes turned to the cieling though he saw nothing. Julian managed to ease his headache and slowly, his vision returned to him. He could see the outline of people at the end of the hall keeping an eye on the different test subjects, prisoners, Julian thought. The one thing that was his own, that couldn't be changed or taken or destroyed, was his thoughts, and his memories of course.

Julian made sure that his letter was no longer in his hand, tucking it under his collar. He wore a jumpsuit like thing. It was to keep his growing electricity from growing to the point of him accidentally shocking people. When you became more and more electrical everyday, you had to be careful, otherwise Julian knew he couldn't control it and he could shock people that did and didn't deserve it. He sat up, pushing himself so that he leaned against the wall of his cell. If his tears flowed down, he could shock himself, and that was painful if he wasn't very, very careful.

Julian sighed, running his hands through his hair as he thought about his terror. He had fallen asleep while listening to music, bored. It had been about the bombing. His mother and father, as they were when he still had his sight, were holding his hands as they ran through the destruction. Julian now realized it was destruction from the second world war that his mind had brought to him. Julian could see as they ran that they wouldn't make it to the shelter. His brother gestured at him wildly from the cover of the shelter, then the bomb fell. That had been when Julian had woken up. He had just witnessed what he though had been what his brother's death was like.

Julian stood, going to his bed where he curled up on the thin mattress, making himself small. He picked at his jumpsuit for a moment, wishing it wasn't what he had to wear. It made things fuzzy for his sight, disorienting him. He was told his suit was black with teal on it at certain places. He imagined it, but he was sure his image wasn't exaclty what he was really wearing. Julian stared at his ceiling more, finding that though he hated the fact that he was trapped here, but was thankful at the same time that he was given the gift to see once again. One didn't appreciate simple things such as sight until they no longer had it and believed they would never have it again.

Julian looked around his room, wondering why he had accepted the fact that he was stuck in his room, or cell. He had woken two or three days ago. He could still remember when he had woken to find that he could see those around him. He had woken to pain and the crackling of electricity as he accidentally absorbed the energy of the things around him. He remembered the smell of burnt flesh and the fact that he had accidentally destroyed the shirt they had him wearing. He gingerly rubbed his stomach where he had been burnt. It hurt still though the pain was more of an ache now. He wouldn't have to channel nearly as much electricity now thanks to his suit. It was a blessing to keep the electricity from being too much, but a curse when Julian accidentally surged and shocked himself.

Julian sighed, looking around and watching the people around him in their different rooms. Down the hall, he saw a guy running all over his room, too fast for julian to see anything but the blur of where his body had been. Someone was sleeping down the hall. Julian looked around more, spotting the doctor in the distance and feeling disgust and anger at once, both causing him to close in on himself as he instantly felt guilty for such horrible feelings that were directed at one individual. Julian took a deep breath, calming his anger before rolling onto his side again and closing his eyes, hoping that the night terrors would leave him be now that he was already so discouraged in relation to his life, or his new life that is.
