Editing Llayne's Characters - Thomas Faraday (section)

==Story==

===High Concept===
'''Aspect:''' "Overpowered Electrokinetic Teen"

Blitz is an electrokinetic, and this follows the theory that legacy or generational powers are related since his father was a magnekinetic. His raw power is impressive bordering on scary... the few times he unleashed that much of his power he wasn't able to control it. Giving anybody that much power is worrisome, but handing it to a 16 year old boy with raging hormones, impulse control issues and an absentee father is a recipe for disaster.

'''Invoke:''' for a bonus when manipulating electricity, when raw power is a factor, or to play upon the fact that he's 'just a kid.'

'''Compel:''' to have his power interact poorly with bystanders or technology, to have it grow beyond his ability to control, or to have the obligations of all teenagers get in the way of what he's trying to do.

===Trouble===
'''Aspect:''' "I Didn't Think That Far Ahead"

One of the best things about Blitz is that when the chip's are down and it's time to make a decision he doesn't hesitate. Taking acting isn't the issue, and whatever he does usually solves the immediate concern. Often times Blitz doesn't stop to think about the 2nd, 3rd and 4th order effects however, so his actions often end up making things worse, or putting him in a new and equally dangerous situation of his own making.

'''Invoke:''' for a bonus when quick thinking is required, or when reacting on instinct to a new threat or changing environment.

'''Compel:''' to have whatever solution he just came up with lead to a new, amplified or continued problem that he and often his teammates, now have to deal with.

===Background===
'''Aspect:''' "Sins of the Father"

Tommy's father, Edward Faraday, was the magnetic hero known as Flux. He protected Hope City for years, but eventually betrayed his hero friends and joined a shadowy group of villains. Flux was eventually killed in a dramatic clash between Hero and Villain. Tommy was just old enough to remember his father as a Hero, and was shocked when everyone told him Flux became a villain. Tommy went to live with his uncle, Nick Faraday. When he became a hero himself, he adopted Flux's Phi symbol for his Blitz identity. 

'''Invoke:''' for a bonus when steeling his will against temptation and to stick to the heroes code. To use his status as a legacy with one of the few 'friends' his father still has among the heroes. (assuming Blitz finds any)

'''Compel:''' to have a crowd react negatively to him because of who his father is. To have him divert time and effort to digging into the truth of what happened to his father instead of supporting the team.

===Gear===
Aspect: "Muscle Suit"

It's hard to be a hero when you look like a scrawny teenage boy. Luckily, Dr. Doll made Blitz what he affectionately calls his 'muscle suit'. Though still lean, the dark teal suit makes him appear bulkier than he really is, and covered in shredded muscles... that aren't really there. 
His face is mostly uncovered, but the Havok-like mask accentuates his cheekbones and the sleek goggles hide his eyes. The mask appears to be open at the top to let his silvery white hair flow free, but this is actually fake hair designed to help hide his identity. 
Most importantly, Dr. Doll designed the suit to offer some minor amount of protection and work with his lightning aura. The muscle suit increases Blitz's speed and reflexes whenever he's charged up.
 
Invoke: for a bonus to hide his identity, when trying to appear heroic to other people, for a speed bonus when moving or doing something physical, to shrug off a hit.

Compel: to have him unable to use his powers because he's stuck in his secret identity. to have him react slower because he doesn't have the muscle boost the suit grants him.
