Name: Surge Persimmon Thunderbee
Age: Adult
Gender: Male
Magic: Electric (Thunder/Lighting)
Somewhere back in Surge's family line an Air and Light fairy pairing produced a new magical variant, Electrical powers. As such, Surge is able to produce sparks, and minor arcs of electricity (including taser-like effect), and even call down lighting.
Magic Sense (Electric Field)
- While Surge is blind (see Appearance and History), he is able to navigate his own due to his inherent sense of the electrical field. This means he can tell if someone or something is near him, though he couldn't tell you who, or what color it is, unless someone has told him. He can also somewhat differentiate common materials based on their conductivity.
Appearance:Surge had tan skin and light grass green hair, cut short and combed back. A series of three scars mar his upper face, going diagonally through the eyes and eyebrows. This makes for an obvious disability, as he is quite clearly blind (he can however navigate on his own, thanks to a magical ability described above). The rest of his facial features are generally soft, save for a slightly hooked nose. As far as fairies go he is on the taller side, and has a well toned physique.
His wings are a large butterfly-like near semi-circles of lime green and electric blue, edged with zigzags of lemon yellow. His clothes are more subdued than his wings, and a little worn. His usual outfit is a teal three quarter sleeve tunic, over brown capri length slacks, accompanied but a brown-red belt and matching boots with gold snaps. Or at least these are the colors his daughter has told him they are. A pan pipe usually hangs from a hempen cord around his neck.
Personality:Surge is the curious sort, an adventurer at heart. This has led to many fantastic experiences, including things few have ever witnessed, but also to some of the worst things that have ever happened to him, namely a lot of relationship conflict and being blinded. Surge has managed to suppress these desires in recent years, to focus on taking care of his daughter, but they're still there under the surface. So if you start talking about something that interests him, be ready for some questions.
He is generally is kind and understanding. Being blinded did not rob him of that, even when it comes to humans. This was after all, not the first human he'd met. However he is not however a touchy-feely person, and tends not to be the one to initiate hugs and such. As such, Surge definitely has no desire to touch anyone's face (contrary to what the movies have taught us, many blind people don't touch faces). This may also be one of the reasons he's not had a bunch of romantic outside his late wife, since he's not good at making the first move, which could easily be read as a lack of interest.
Electrical powers can be quite powerful, but Surge is somewhat of pacifist. When under attack, he's more likely to retreat and try to block of his attacker's route than attack directly. He can if he needs to, but he'd prefer to avoid harming any creature if he can.
Surge enjoys playing music, though he is by no means a professional musician. But this why he's rarely seen without his pan pipe.
History:Surge grew up in Feydale, the place where Electrical magic first appeared in his family line. But unlike his ancestors, he was not content to stay there. Rather he had the heart of an explorer and would go on adventures, not just across the kingdoms, but also across realms, with a small group of like-minded friends.
During a pit stop in Lumina, he met a gorgeous fairy, Dalila Mosstoes. The two of them immediately hit it off, and cultivated a relationship over increasingly common trips to Lumina. Eventually they married and moved into a nice little house in Lumina, and started their family. That is they had a sweet little baby girl they named Juniper Thunderbee.
But even with this wedded bliss, the exploring bug was not squashed, and it wasn't long before Surge was planning trips with his former adventuring crew again. At first it wasn't a big deal. They were short nearby trips, a weekend camping on the side of the volcano in Pompfey, a day trip to the Fairy Falls, a skiing trip in the Minty Mountains. But short trips would soon turn into extended trips and nearby trips would turn into far away trips. This understandably created marital stress, which led to the couple bickering when he came home, and that in turn led to Surge taking even longer trips. It wasn't long before the group was basically off exploring the way they did before Surge had gotten married.
It was one of these trips that led to Surge being blinded. The group had gone off to visit Earth in the human realm. Being on Earth was little risky given how volatile humans can be, but sometimes friendly humans could be found. That was why Surge had let his guard down, he was talking to a young human, asking her questions about Earth. But when her mother saw, she panicked and attacked him.
Fairy healers can do a lot of incredible things with magic, but the severity of the injury (and perhaps the material of the tool used as a weapon) was enough that Surge was permanently blinded as a result.
Surge returned home, apologetic to Dalila for putting himself at risk of injury or death. Other fairies might have taken this as a sign to just settle down entirely. But Surge had the support of his friends and this time his wife (as long as he took more precautions) as he slowly learned to use his connection to the electrical field to get around, so it wasn't very long before he was back to exploring, though now his family would see more of him.
However his life of adventure would finally come to an end one day when upon returning from a trip, he learned that Dalila had been in an accident, leaving him a widower and Juniper's sole caretaker. For the first time, he had to really be her dad. The two of them had a long road ahead of them, adjusting to their new life.
Surge currently in the Luminous Forest with his teenage daughter, Juniper.
Other:- Surge enjoys playing magic on his panpipes. He's not an expert, but he's not bad.
- As per Juniper, Surge is not allowed in the kitchen. His cooking skills are pretty much limited to campfire foods.
