Brendan is a tall, soft-hearted young man with white-blond hair, pale milky skin, and bright, electric sky-blue eyes that seem to glow when he’s emotional. He carries a sweet smile and a calm, sunshine aura that somehow warms the room — despite his powers being made of lightning itself. His scent is clean and gentle, like cotton, soap, and freshly washed laundry.

He’s friendly, loyal, gentle, and quietly romantic. Though strong and toned, his nature is soft and shy. He can manipulate lightning and electricity, recharge his own body, and generate high-voltage energy that crackles under his skin when he’s overwhelmed. Accidentally shocking people happens more often than he’d like to admit.

But behind the sweetness, Brendan hides a deep, aching pain. His electrical abilities are tied to his emotions, and the more he tries to suppress his fears, grief, and loneliness, the more violently his powers turn against him. The internal electricity burns him from the inside, torturing him in silence.

No one notices — because he smiles through it.
Because he doesn’t want to scare anyone.
Because he believes he must suffer alone.

He wants connection. He wants friends. He desperately wants love. He just doesn’t believe he deserves it — not when his touch can hurt, not when his powers feel like a curse he’s learned to disguise with sunshine.

Your OC finds the cracks in his armor.
