Llayne's Characters - Thomas Faraday

Blitz

Information

Physical Description

Tommy Faraday has that skinny look of a teenager who is in he middle of a growth spurt and couldn't put on any muscle if his life depended on it. His skin is naturally tanned... a result of him being part Mohawk, at least according to Uncle Nick. Tommy's hair is a sandy color he calls 'boring brown' and even though he'd like to keep it longer, he now wears it short so it fits under his costume better. His hazel eyes are his one striking feature, appearing golden brown or green, depending on how the light hits them.

Costume Description

The super hero Blitz is 5'9, and thanks to the 'muscle suit'he has the lean, athletic body of a swimmer covered in shredded muscles.... that aren't really there. His suit was dark teal with a white Phi symbol on his chest... the symbol that originally adorned the chest of Flux's suit. White lines extend outward from the symbol at different angles.

The mask extends from the suit and continues up the sides of his head, framing his face and accenting his cheekbones. Blitz wears a pair of sleek gold mirrored goggles that hide his eyes and 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.

Blitz wore gold boots and bracers to match the goggles and accent the look. If you're going to fight crime, you might as well look good while you're doing it.

Personality

Tommy is a typical teenage boy, and by that I mean that he's SUPER excited about being a super hero and all the cool stuff that involves. Being a hero is very important to him however... his desire to clear Flux's name drives Tommy to be the best hero he can... both for himself and for his father.

Although he tries to put on a good show for the bad guys and the crowd, he's unsure about his place in the team and about his ability to control his powers. He learned the hard way that he is extremely powerful... losing control can have disastrous consequences. He alternates between rushing into situations without thinking and letting the older, more experienced heroes take the lead. Finding the balance has proven difficult so far.

Background

Aspect: 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: Compel:

Gear

Aspect: 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.
