| − | =[[File:Surge_c.png]]<span style="color:#151515">Personality</span>=
| + | |
| − | Lev Balakov is an animated, energetic and impulsive individual. He is both easygoing and easily distracted. Despite his villainous upbringing, the not-so-upstanding young man has managed to maintain a surprisingly optimistic outlook on life. And Lev seems determined to not waste a single moment of his newfound freedom.<br>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Lev is still very much a work in progress, he definitely has no shortage of bad habits. Concepts such as personal possession are a little foreign to him. After all, his main role model growing up was a supervillain.<br>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | At times Lev does seem conflicted, but considering his rather sudden and drastic transition from villain to hero it only makes sense for his moral compass to sometimes be spinning. And while the humor and happy-go-lucky attitude are no doubt in part a facade or coping mechanism, there does appear to be a half decent guy beneath all of it who genuinely wants to make up for his involvement in the family's many terrible crimes.<br>

| + | |
| − | =[[File:Surge_d.png]]<span style="color:#151515">Abilities</span>=
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''Energy Detection''' - Surge is able to sense life force and pick up on nearby magical energies.<br><br>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''Energy Transferal''' - Surge can transfer or share his boundless energy through physical contact, he can infuse anything of a mystical origin with energy or life force. If there is an artifact that requires a magical crystal to work, Surge can probably activate it by simply touching it. Certain metahumans may also find themselves suddenly able to use their power at its maximum potential because of Surge's ability, at least temporarily (or as long as physical contact with Surge is maintained), without exhausting or slowly killing themselves in the process. He is essentially a walking power source for anything supernatural.<br><br>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''Regeneration''' - Whichever otherworldly plane Surge is somehow tethered to seems to supply him with near endless vitality and causes any injury he sustains to heal itself almost instantly. This allows him to survive wounds that would be lethal for any normal human and recover from virtually anything. Exactly how fast he regenerates varies a little depending on the amount of damage his body has suffered.<br><br>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''Witchcraft''' - Surge is a magical conduit with not only an affinity for the black arts, but a measureable connection with another plane. When it comes to practicing magic, Surge chooses to rely heavily on the use of artifacts, spell scrolls and rituals to channel his talents. With the exception of an occasional cantrip.

| + | |
| − | =[[File:Surge_e.png]]<span style="color:#151515">Weaknesses</span>=
| + | |
| − | * '''Family''' - Surge has very conflicted feelings about his family, which can lead to dangerous hesitation.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''Inexperience''' - Surge is relatively new to the hero scene. And to being one of the good guys in general.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''Moderation''' - When you supply someone with boundless energy it is easy for things to get out of hand.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''Not Immortal''' - Surge's regenerative power causes his body to constantly replenish itself, but there are limitations. It is not within his power to cleanse every poison, restore genetic disorders or reverse aging.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''Not Invulnerable''' - Disintegration, complete molecular destabilization, total incineration or any method that ensures the destruction of Surge's whole body (or that damages him faster than he can heal) is not something he can come back from. There needs to be something left of him to be able to regenerate.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''Not Unstoppable''' - While there is not a lot that he would not survive, Surge will not be of much use in a fight when he is encased in ice, buried under rubble, drowning on a loop or incapacitated by a curse.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''Pain''' - Surge may have build up a tolerance for pain, but he is not immune to it and still feels everything.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''Preparation''' - Casting spells takes time. They may also require verbal, somatic or material components.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''Temporary''' - The effects of Surge's power are fleeting and only last if physical contact is maintained.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''Sleep''' - His muscles may never tire, but Surge still needs to sleep to stay sharp and recharge himself.
