[attr="class","appbold"]HISTORY:
- River was born at a very inconvenient time for his parents. His father had spent most of his time either working in a garage a half hour away or at the bar wasting money; his mother worked all day to pay for their apartment and her husband's growing alcohol addiction, she gave birth to River one month, and was back in the office the next. The only babysitter the Locklear's could afford was a hair-brained college student who had no idea how to deal with a baby, and spent more time with her nose in a book than watching River. One fateful day, River was in the kitchen watching his babysitter blending fruit for a smoothie when he had the oh-so-brilliant idea to touch the electrical socket. He jammed his finger in the hole as the babysitter turned the blender on. River yelped in unexpected pain, his hair was sticking straight up and his skin had a faint glow to it. The babysitter freaked out and turned the blender off and called the hospital and River's parents, but the damage was done. While nothing horribly bad had happened to the boy, he began developing a strange ability to build up his own static electricity within his body. Touching lights made them flicker, and touching electronics caused them to work without batteries.
As River grew up, he kept his weird powers to himself and was very withdrawn, in fear of being called "that weird kid" or similar names. At the same time, he became very invested in stories of superheroes who were famous for doing good and saving cities. River wanted to be like that, too. He wanted to help save the world somehow, even if it meant dealing with petty thieves and other small crimes. The death of Eric Evers and the collapse of superhero fame made River want it even more. He was determined to become a real hero, and that meant only one thing: enrolling in Vireximus University.

[attr="class","appbold"]POWERS:
- PRIMARY POWER:
- Electrical Manipulation - The ability to manipulate and control electricity. The user has electricity running through their veins at all times, enabling them to shock a person upon touch, or create electrical shapes (such as a ball or spear) which they can aim at a target. The user also has the ability to control electrical currents up to 50,000 volts, when used successfully, and create power outages. A thunderstorm can make the user significantly more powerful, and with enough concentration, the user can guide lightning bolts wherever they please. Water also causes the user's electrical manipulation to increase exponentially in power, however precision and control are greatly sacrificed, which can lead the user to electrocuting even themselves. Electrical manipulation is completely walled by rocks, ground, and other earth-based powers, as well as powerful magnetic fields.
River's powers themselves are very much based on his emotions; his powers become much stronger the more emotional he becomes, however, they're also much more difficult to control. While River has lots of ability and potential, he has a very difficult time controlling the amount of electricity he lets out of his body, as well as most of his more powerful abilities. He is, however, quite good at charging electrical devices, such as his cell phone, as well as creating static electricity to shock others when he brushes past them. Currently, the voltage River is most comfortable using without losing complete control is around 10,000 volts.

- SECONDARY POWER:
- Electrical Forcefield - More of a sub-category of Electrical manipulation than a secondary power. The user is able to create a shield around themselves made entirely of electricity to block enemy attacks, keeping the user completely protected inside. The shield can become entirely ineffective if there are high-power magnets anywhere nearby. It can also be broken through loss of concentration or repeated attacks to a certain place. When used successfully, the forcefield has the power to stop all electronic devices inside as well as within a five meter range. It also has the power to paralyze anything up to an adult elephant that comes into contact with it for a brief period of time (depending on their powers, of course), typically no longer than an hour for an average sized human.
River is especially horrid at using this. Though he's accomplished it in the past, it uses much more concentration than the rest of his powers, and most of the time his shield ends up being rather weak. River mostly uses a vastly weaker version of his shield to shut down electric devices when necessary.
