[This is Levi’s AU profile for SuperDrops’ “Superhero School RP”. It’s going to be VERY similar to his original profile, so if you can’t see the difference, it’s in his age and there’s a slight divergence in his history.]
… … …
Name: Levi Andersen
Age: 16
Gender: male
Race: Meta human
Alignment: Lawful Good
Power level: 5
Timeline: near future
Appearance:
Height: 5’8”
Weight: 150 lbs
Levi has an athletically built frame, lightly muscled, but nothing impressive for someone his age. His shaggy, light brown hair stops just above his green eyes in the front and goes about midway down his neck in the back. He wears clothing typical of a high schooler. He prefers shorts and tee shirts since overheating is often a problem, but will wear jeans and easily removable layers of jackets and sweatshirts in the winter. Levi prefers dark and neutral colors as opposed to bright colors, so most of his shirts are navy blue, hunter green, grey, maroon, etc. He usually has on some type of cooling fabrics under his clothes to aid in keeping him cool. Unless he needs to wear heavier shoes for running or working, he almost always has on flip flops. He sometimes wears a copper chain on each wrist to help attract electricity toward his hands, but doesn’t otherwise care for extra accessories.
Outstanding features: Identical scars across the top of the palm of both hands from where he was burned by the fence.
He's just the slightest bit nearsighted, so he wears reading glasses.
Personality:
Levi is extremely charismatic and extroverted, which can be attributed to his being raised in the land of Southern hospitality. Loners or introverts can find him annoying and overwhelming, but Levi himself doesn’t realize this. His very strong Southern drawl can often lead others to stereotype him as stupid, though he is actually very rich in both knowledge and street smarts. Because of his strong aversion to dramatic or stressful situations, it is very hard to anger or upset Levi. However, he is very defensive of others, especially friends and family, and will switch into a protective mode if he feels they are threatened. Because he’s so extroverted, he can butt in where he’s unwanted or be manipulative without realizing.
History:
Levi was born and raised on his parents’ family farm in Georgia. The oldest of five children, Levi was given the job of raising his siblings and doing various chores around the farm nearly from the time he could walk. He had a fairly easy childhood, being raised by two loving parents and brought up to behave in a polite and chivalrous manner. He was always very active and healthy, and nothing would have led him to guess he was a meta-human. [Both of his parents, like the rest of his siblings, are not metas. Further back in history, however, it is very likely that, at some point, he had both human and meta-human ancestors, leading to the re-emergence of a suppressed gene.]
He passed through his elementary and middle-school years with no abnormalities. Levi excelled in both academics and athletics, and he was on many junior varsity and intramural sports teams. Even at a young age, his charisma made him quite popular, though social status was never a high priority for him; he would rather ace an exam than get a girlfriend. His first year of high school was more of the same. He ranked near the top of his class and, being the diligent student he was, he thought he had planned out his future. However, during the first few weeks of the fall of his sophomore year, he began to notice he wasn’t feeling like himself. He had never had problems with sickness, and yet he was finding himself running fevers and suffering from migraines for days at a time.
One evening, while helping his father make repairs to one of the electric fences on the farm, Levi took hold of a wire he wasn’t aware was live. Normally, this would result in a painful zap, and the offender would be repelled. However, for Levi, this had the opposite effect – he was unable to let go. His father was eventually able to pry him away with the wooden handle of a tool. His hands had been pretty severely burned from the wire, but miraculously, his headache and fever seemed to be gone. His parents begged him to go to the hospital, but he assured them he was fine, opting to have his mother clean and dress his wounds. He returned to school as usual the next day, only to find that his maladies had returned. He was in one of the school’s computer labs when his fever peaked. Suddenly, he felt a surge of relief come over his body, and at the same time, every piece of electronic equipment in the lab and the neighboring two classrooms shorted out. With the events of the previous evening, and now this, Levi was beginning to become suspicious that he was causing these freak accidents involving electricity.
For the next several days, he snuck out into a remote part of his property to practice what he believed to be powers. At first, he could not call up electricity on demand, but eventually he was able to release bolts of static electricity from his hands when directed towards a metal tool, a coil of copper wire, etc. The more he practiced using these powers, the less frequently he experienced migraines and overheating.
Eventually, he discovered that he controlled two similar, but different, types of powers. The first power he discovered was static electricity [first shown by grabbing the electric fence], while the second was his ability to emit electromagnetic pulses [EMPs], which were what had caused him to kill the computer lab at his school. He went on to accidentally destroy one of his brothers’ handheld games.
About a month after figuring out how to use his powers on command, though still very much a novice at directing them, he confided in his oldest sister, who was one year younger than him. He asked her not to tell the rest of his family or any of their friends until he was sure of what he could do, explaining that he thought he was a meta-human but was admittedly scared of the thought. She agreed to keep his secret, and he has since spent months practicing.
At this time, he has been invited to the Academy, where he hopes to learn how to better control his powers.
Powers:
**His powers are of a PHYSICAL ROOT**
Electromagnetic and Static Electric Abilities
For whatever reason, Levi’s body naturally builds up electricity which he can release in attacks. He also has the ability to release electromagnetic pulses (EMPs), an anti-tech weapon. He has only had his powers for several months, and is still a novice when it comes to using them. However, he has learned to direct his powers well in most settings.
Offensively/actively, Levi can:
- Short out all electrical equipment in, at most, a forty-foot radius (less if less power is released) by releasing an electromagnetic pulse (where his codename comes from). This can be either permanent destruction or temporary interruption in the function of electrical equipment.
- Release electric shocks from his body. He does best when making physical contact with the object he’s shocking, whether it’s an enemy or an inanimate object. When sending electricity through the air (like lightning bolts) he can only get a distance of about five feet. The closer he is, the more volts he will be able to deliver.
- Operate some equipment. By magnetizing the metal of the inside of a lock, for example, he can open it without a key. Also, he can jumpstart cars, recharge batteries, and turn on other objects that run on electricity.
- Magnetize metal (as stated before)
- Although he’s never attempted it, he could theoretically act as a human defibrillator assuming he was able to control the voltage well enough
Defensively/passively, he can:
- Withstand electric attacks and getting electrocuted to a certain degree. Enough volts will still knock him out, but his body can naturally absorb static electricity much better than a normal human. (A Tazer would hardly bother him but he'd be dead in an instant if hit by lightning.)
- Sense electricity around him in lighting, appliances, etc. His field of sensation orbits around him in about a hundred foot radius. It gives him no extra strength, rather it's like being able to smell an odor.
The electricity he uses in his attacks looks like any normal static electricity. When sending it out through the air or sometimes into people, metal, etc., it has a blue-white color and can be heard crackling. His EMPs have no appearance and cannot be detected by the human body.
Equipment:
Various objects can potentially become weapons for him. For example, any continuous piece of wire, metal pipe, etc. can be a route for sending out electricity. If someone grabs onto one end of the wire and Levi sends electricity into the other end, the person will be electrocuted. This can potentially infinitely increase the span of his attacks, but the electricity would be confined to the wire and would be many times weaker at the opposite end.
Examples of conductors: metal (esp. copper, gold, or silver), water (except pure distilled water with a pH of exactly 7), the human body
Examples of insulators: plastic, rubber, air, wood
Weakness:
Because of the static buildup in his body, Levi can easily become overheated. This is easily counteracted by either releasing electricity in an attack or by submerging himself in cold water to cool his core temperature. He also wears athletic cooling fabrics (Under Armour) to help him stay cool. If he happens to be overheated or running a fever and his temperature stays over 101 for more than about five hours, his body becomes supercharged with electricity and he loses control of his powers until the fever breaks. He could either lose the ability to emit electricity or unwillingly emit it.
He sometimes has trouble directing his attacks in areas of high moisture or when surrounded by metal or electrical equipment (he wouldn’t do well in a transformer station or on the beach.) While both of these elements would help conduct electricity and would actually expand the field of his attacks, he would struggle to direct his attacks in a straight line, though it is possible for him to do it.
He is hesitant to injure. Unless the enemy he is after has killed or committed some other serious or morally wrong crime, he will avoid using his electricity until it is necessary. Levi would experience emotional turmoil upon killing someone.
He has the best control over his powers in the springtime or autumn. In the winter, there is so much static in the dry air that his body often becomes supercharged and he gets a shock from every conductor he comes in contact with, an annoying but harmless phenomenon. The summer is the worst time for him since high temperatures only worsen his overheating issue.

RP Specific Information
Nationality:
American
Talents:
Being the true Southerner that he is, he was raised around hunting. He is proficient at marksmanship with both rifles and bow and arrow.
All the time he spent on sports teams throughout his youth has given him excellent stamina and athletic ability, though he is far from having superhuman strength.
He is partially bilingual in French, but nothing above a conversational level.
