Advantages

• Power Device: Power standard electronic device just by touching it.
  • With a body like mine, there's always a little extra to go around.
• Assessment: Determine Enemy's attack and defense bonuses.
  • Being stuck in a chair for the majority of my life and not being able to physically interact with others, I started to notice the more subtle things that would escape the attention of others. The neuro-electrical currents flowing natively in your body, for instance, tell me far more about you than you would imagine. Trust me.
• Teamwork: +5 Bonus to working as a team.
  • A little help from a friend never hurt anybody, and sometimes you just need a friend to get it done.
• Extraordinary Effort: Gain 2 Benefits from Extra Effort.
  • No person or force gets to tell me what I am or am not capable of.
• Great Endurance: +5 Bonus to Resist Negative Effects.
  • I'm hard to hurt, and I don't tire easily. That's the case nowadays anyway, and I don't plan on that changing anytime soon.
• Interpose: Take an attack meant for someone else within movement range.
  • You've got to stick up for the little guy. Darwin was an asshole.

Powers

• Electrical Immunity: 10 (Immunity 10 {Electrical Effects})
  • Over the years of my body hyper-producing electricity, I guess I've just sort of become immune to it.
• Electro-sense: 3 (Detect Electricity, Ranged, Acute)
  • It's hard to describe... it's a feeling of two like parts calling out to one another. It's like I can feel myself in the environment around me.
• Healing Absorption: 3 (Reaction Healing, Energizing, Limited to Self, Limited to Absorb Energy Rank, Source (Electricity))
  • This is what keeps me on my feet and not back in a chair. This has literally been a life saver for me, and has allowed me to do all sorts of things I never would have dreamed of before. I kind of have a habit of taking just a little bit of juice out of electronics when I walk past them or spend any real time around them. Nothing to damage them or anything, just enough so that I can feel at ease.
• Electrical Absorption 10 (Enhanced Power [Electrical Array] {Fades, Reaction: When Absorbing Electricity))
  • I can do some pretty neat little tricks with my electricity normally. This allows me to use my powers for more awesome things rather than just good things.
• Blackout: 3 (Linked to Healing Absorption and Electrical Absorption, Nullify Electronics, Burst Area, Close Range, Move Action)
  • It's gotta come from somewhere, right? Like the city really keeps track of how much power is used in an area... oh wait, it does?
• Electrical Array 10 Hero Point Pool
  • Electric Orb (Burst Area Ranged Damage(Electrical)) 3 Points/Rank
  • Lightning Bolt (Ranged Damage (Electrical)) 2 Points/Rank
  • Shocking Strike (Close Range Damage (Electrical)) 1 Point/Rank
  • Crackling Field (Protection, Sustained) 1 Point/Rank
  • Generated Flight (Flight) 2 Points/Rank
  • Flux Shift (Deflect, Close Range, Move Action) 1 Point/Rank

Complications

• Addiction (Electricity): I'll take a little here, I'll take a little there. It's not like anyone else misses it or anything. It keeps me sparked up in all the right ways, and I only ever feel really good when fully charged. If I go for too long without it, my body starts to crumple in on itself and turn against me. You can bet your ass I'm not going back to that chair.
• Phobia (Rural Areas): If it's not too far out, I'm okay. However, put me on a dirt road, no power lines or houses to be seen, I will freak out and will do anything in my power to stay on the grid.
