Name: James Lyvaal
Nickname: Taser
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Gang: Shanks
Love Interest: None.
Power: Electricity; James can create, manipulate and arc bolts of electricity from his body, but favours the hands and eyes. Because of the increased electrical charge in his body, he has heightened reaction times and is immune to electrocution. He can use this to create a 'shield' of electricity around his body. The power of his bolts are variable; some only sting, whereas the strongest can blow a hole through a fridge door.
However, he has no control of the electricity when it has left his body. Over long distances the arc will change direction towards large pieces of metal. In open spaces though, such as an open park, it can fly unaltered, but still travels the shortest route. It is also susceptible to magnetic fields.
Although James has not worked it out, his power works much like respiration; using his body's resources to power the electricity. Prolonged usage causes hunger and reduces his body weight. He has currently lost 2 kilos since gaining his power.
Personality: James always was a solitary person, but time in the shield has made him more open. This was at the expense of becoming dark, sadistic and vindictive. He believes highly in his power, and is always willing to show it off. He takes joy in the gang conflict that has erupted, and is intrigued, even excited, to use his power to kill someone. His loyalties are shallow, having joined the Shanks simply because they were closest. He cares about the welfare of the gang for the sole reason that they are able to help him.
James is overly impulsive, and often makes decisions without much thought. He does, however, pride himself of the extensive contingencies he has drawn up for the town; through his eyes, this is just one long game.
Other: James has pyrophobia. The only reason he won't use his power is if it will start a fire. He has no problem with heat, however. His insignia, instead of a tattoo, was burned into his skin using his power, scarring the mark onto him.
