The first power he ever used, thought it was on accident, by discharging all the stored electricity in his body Striker can release a bolt of lightning or act as a Tesla coil for a short period of time.<br/>-The "Shocker": By charging his fists with electricity Striker is able to deliver powerful punches with "shocking" results.<br/><br/>His powers all suffer from the same limits as regular electricity. (i.e. a rubber bouncy ball could stop his lightning and a hand wearing a rubber glove could catch his fist.<br/><br/>Physical Description: Standing at 5' 10" he might not be the tallest person in the room, but you can bet his electric blue eyes will stand out. He has a thin build, but not lanky.  He is average weight. He has sandy blond hair and sharp facial features.<br/><br/>Personality/Clothing style: Zane likes to dress in casual. He typically wears a jacket and a pair of jeans with a t-shirt. He hates wearing formal wear and normally wears cowboy boots. He isn't a slacker, he just doesn't like of constricting clothes can be. He is a jester and has a hard time taking things seriously. He is a cowered and will often start to run if things seem bad. He is willing to help others, but has a very "Me first" outlook in rough situations. He also happens to be a flirt, which brings about him pulling pranks on others to impress women, thought it doesn't usually work.<br/><br/>Emotional Type/"Yellow-Blue" Leotard Description: He is a cowered and a show off. His leotard has yellow gloves that have a lightning bolt that runs up his arm. Same for his boots. No helmet or hood, but a pair of goggles. The leotard is made from a special material engineered in such a fashion that it is able to break down in to electricity when he does. The left wrist has a special counter that shows how far above the average electricity count of a normal person he is and how close he is to max power. Additionally the device is attached to wires that feed from small metal plates on his fingers, letting him transfer electricity from outlets and large sources to fuel his powers without expending his inner power.<br/><br/>Relevant History: Zane was always messing with something. If he wasn't taking apart the radio he was figuring out how the remote control worked. He lived with his mother and father, his mother staying home to raise him and his older sister while his dad worked at the power plant. <br/>His father was the director of nuclear operations and as a result wasn't home often. Zane wanted to be just like his dad, however as he grew up things started to change. He started hanging out with groups of people who he shouldn't have. He ended up having to transfer schools after he was expelled for causing a circuit malfunction during his sophomore year of high school and ended up having to go to school with his cousins in Boston, Massachusetts. He hated the change in weather from warm South Carolina to the cold of Boston, but what hurt worse was leaving his friends. On the flight up he was forced to leave the plain after there was a massive electrical malfunction that no one could explain. Strangely, after he was back in the airport the error stopped. The passengers all climbed on again and the error happened again. Finally after checking all the people on board for some kind of jamming device they decided to cancel the flight and gave the passengers a refund. As he took out his phone to find out when a bus would be coming he was “shocked” when the phone not only fully charged in his hand, but then proceeded to explode. Lucky the parking lot was mostly filled with empty cars. As he ran he felt warm and noticed that the close he had on were on fire. That’s when he noticed the lightning. Arcs of electricity were bouncing all around the parking lot off of cars and off of him, well more like “from” him.  He had to strip off all of his close and hide before changing into a set of extra close he had packed. After the electrical “storm” in the parking lot he collected his thoughts and asked the people at the bus stop when the next bus would be by. He noticed that across the road was a sex shop. For a moment he considered going in and getting a rubber suit just in case, but shook the thought from his head. From that day on he had a number of different incidents that let to him receiving the nickname “The shock master” in college. Finally one day he was on the internet and saw a video: “Alright guys, check this out.” The teen in the video whispered. He backed up from the camera and took a fighting stance. After a few seconds he exploded in a green gas and picked up the camera. “So apparently some people have been popping up lately with weird abilities. I'm standing in a room of poisonous gas and I created it. Not only that, but I'm not even bothered by what could kill someone else. Dudes, we are superheros! If you've got powers like these, don't hide them, its our time! Do what you want man, Rock out with your mother f****** c*** out!” Then the video ended. Zane shook his head and couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He went into the basement of the dorm he was in and took out the Tesla coil he and some friends built to play music. “Alright, this will work or I'm going to need a wheelchair for the rest of my life.” He started acting like he was trying to throw things at it, trying to get the electricity to come out of him. At first nothing happened and he turned away, but then he had an idea. He ran up and punched the big metal contraption. He heard a snap and then a bright light blinded him for a second before he realized that he had done it. He forced his powers to work. This began a long time of practice and work at figuring out how his gifts worked.<br/><br/>Fears: Being buried alive or stuck in space.<br/><br/>Other: If you haven't figured it out yet the “Shock master” nickname is a sex joke. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>
