Name: Gregory Ace Age: 17 Species: Human (Metahuman) Gender: Male (He/Him) Superhero Name: Shock Value Sexuality: Straight Occupation: Government-Registered Superhero, High school student. Backstory: Gregory grew up in a household where power was normalized — not just metaphorically, but literally. His earliest memories include sparks dancing harmlessly between his fingers during tantrums and lightbulbs exploding overhead when he laughed too hard. Unlike his sister’s time-based abilities (which manifested in strange freezes and skips in motion), Gregory’s power was loud, bright, and impossible to hide. David approached his son’s ability with structured enthusiasm — helping him understand voltage, resistance, amperage, and electromagnetic theory before most kids his age understood algebra. Marie approached it with caution — teaching restraint, situational awareness, and the consequences of lethal force. His official registration came at sixteen after a public incident where he redirected a city-wide power surge away from a children’s hospital during a catastrophic storm. The footage went viral. A teenage boy standing beneath blackened skies, lightning converging into his outstretched hand. Unlike his father, Gregory did not instantly take to public life. Fame feels strange on him. He’s still figuring out who he is outside of the Ace name — outside of being “Power Source’s son” or “Null’s kid.” At school, he tries to maintain a degree of normalcy. Most of his classmates know who he is. Some admire him. Some resent him. A few fear him. He’s still learning the difference between being powerful and being in control. Personality: Gregory is intense in a way that contrasts both of his parents. Where David radiates warmth and Marie radiates silence, Gregory radiates momentum. He feels everything quickly and strongly — excitement, frustration, attraction, anger. His emotions spark fast, like static before a storm. As a result, his power sometimes responds to his mood before he consciously activates it. He has a strong desire to step out of his father’s shadow. Being the son of one of the most beloved heroes in the world is both a privilege and a burden. Gregory wants to prove that his strength isn’t borrowed — that he’s not powerful because of his last name, but because of his own merit. Despite his bravado, he is deeply thoughtful when it counts. He worries about the lethality of his abilities. Electricity isn’t abstract — it stops hearts. It burns nerves. It destroys infrastructure. That weight sits on him heavier than he lets on. With his mother, he shares quiet conversations about control. With his father, he shares training sessions that often turn into laughter-filled aerial races. With peers, he alternates between cocky charm and awkward sincerity. He has a natural instinct to shield others — stepping between danger and civilians without hesitation. Sometimes before thinking. Superpower: Electrictrokinesis: The power to manipulate electricity. Gregory can shape, direct, and possess control over electricity, a form of energy resulting from the movement of charged particles such as electrons or protons. This energy is ever-present—coursing through wires, storm clouds, and even living bodies—and Gregory stands at the center of it all, acting as both conductor and generator. He doesn't merely wield electricity; he has become one with it, channeling raw current through his body harmlessly. Electricity flows around him like an extension of his will, crackling in arcs or coiling into brilliant threads of light. Gregory can discharge vast amounts of electrical power to shock his opponents, with effects ranging from temporary paralysis to severe burns—or, in extreme cases, stopping a heart outright. These strikes may come in the form of lightning-fast bursts, sustained currents, or widespread electrical waves that travel across conductive surfaces. His influence doesn’t stop at close range. Gregory can call lightning directly from the sky, turning a clear day into a battlefield charged with crackling tension. With more experience using this power, he might be able to manipulate the very weather patterns above, guiding the currents of the upper atmosphere to summon thunderstorms at will, which would give him an immense area of effect. Beyond offense, Gregory's control over electricity can potentially extend to near-limitless applications. He could magnetize or demagnetize objects, manipulate electric fields to hover or fly, and emit powerful electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) that disable machinery and technology in radius. His senses may evolve to detect electric signatures—allowing him to perceive life forms, track movement, or navigate blind through electronic echoes. As his power evolves, so too does its scale and complexity. When he's a novice, he might fire off bolts or short out circuits. When he's a seasoned master of electricity, he could become a force of nature. He may create storms that span miles, forge sentient constructs of living lightning, or envelop entire regions in electromagnetic chaos that disrupts satellites, communications, and power grids. Depending on Gregory's mastery over electricity, he wouldn't limited to destruction; it enhances nearly every aspect of his movement, perception, and strategy. By stimulating his own nervous system and muscle fibers with controlled bursts of bioelectricity, they can achieve superhuman speed and reflexes, reacting faster than the eye can track. Weaknesses: Inexperienced: Gregory doesn't have any experience with using his Electrictrokinesis, therefore he's only able to use it in simple ways. As he uses and understands more about his powers, he will be able to pull off godlike feats. Nature of Electricity: Electricity needs a conductor like water with electrolytes dissolved in it or metal to move through, therefore electricity can neither exist in nor move through a vacuum (such as outer space). Insulated: May become useless if insulated with non-conductive matter, such as rubber, silicate, air etc. although a strong enough electrical charge can overload any insulator and force it to become conductive. Combat Style: As a Superhero, Gregory fights aggressively but not recklessly. He prefers mobility — darting across battlefields in bursts of electromagnetic propulsion. He uses the environment constantly: power lines, metal structures, wet pavement, storm clouds. He opens with disarming strikes (nerve disruption, paralysis), escalates to area denial (electrical fields across the ground), and reserves lethal voltage only for extreme scenarios. When overwhelmed, his fighting becomes visually spectacular — lightning branching wildly around him like a contained supercell. Public Opinion: “The cool one." Gregory is seen as a teen idol, clips of the storm he prevented have gone viral. He's popular with younger demographics, but critics tend to label him as reckless or unpolished. Likes: Stormy weather, High-energy music, Track and field, Competitive video games, Spicy food, Late-night rooftop conversations, Pushing his limits. Dislikes: Being seen as just "Power Source's son", Feeling underestimated, Overly restrictive supervision, Power-dampening tech, Bullies, Losing control of his emotions.
