Electrostaff
From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe
Arian was born and raised for most of his life in La Puente, California. After he turned 13, he ended up moving to Frostproof, Florida. The place was boring, to say the least. He never could get along with the country people since he was raises as a city boy.
It was on a day that he was wandering around on his own, that he found a very strange formation of stones. They looked like normal stones, but it looked like they had been burning before he got there. Despite the grass around the stones being fine, when he touched the stones, they were very hot, hotter than the sun should have made them.
He continued to inspect them and eventually prodded the formation with a stick, revealing a glowing, blue orb inside the formation. He prodded the orb with his stick before building up the courage to reach in and grab it.
Arian hadn't realized it, but as his curiosity of the stone formation grew, a large storm was building in the sky above him. The instant he took a hold of the orb, everything went white. He heard a loud boom, and then nothing. Before he knew it, the white around him had turned to black.
To him, it felt like immediately afterwards when he rose up and gasped. He looks around, the puddles were large already. It had been raining for at least half an hour, rather heavily. He was almost 5 yards away from the stone formation, and halfway, he saw the orb. The orb was now clear, completely transparent.
Another bolt of lightning struck nearby and something within him stirred. He noticed it was the slowest bolt of lightning he had ever seen. Something drove him to extend his arm, the electricity instantly changed course and came in his direction. His eyes widened when realizing what he had just done and he quickly jumped out of the way.
Within moments, time began catching up to him, as did his mind. He realized what situation he was in and ran home. He told no one of this, and shut the situation out of his mind for the next 8 years, until he heard about Paragon City and the troubles it was going through. He knew this was fate's call and bid farewell to his life as a civilian.
Arian had no idea how to manipulate his powers, but he did know that he could at least generate electricity around himself. Using this knowledge, he took a metal staff as his weapon and took on the name of Electrostaff, using his weapon as an over-sized and overpowered taser.

Story
Thunder & Lightning
After spending some time in Paragon City, Arian decided to check out the popular Pocket D. While there, he quickly realized that he had no idea how to interact with others and eventually decided to approach what seemed like the most normal girl there. He asked her how it all worked in Pocket D and eventually, the two were at the bar, drinking and talking about their powers and past.
The girl introduced herself as Ashika and eventually told him that her 'registered name' was Siren's Allure. After discovering that her powers were sound-based and that she could use them as weapons, he decided to propose a duo alliance. At first, she was hesitant, but Arian was finally able to convince her that they should be like all the other famous heroes.
The two left for Icon and came up with with brand new costumes to use as a team. The two now joke around and fight crime together while in their matching costumes.
Personality
Arian tends to come off as blunt, animated and shameless. He always seems to be cheerful about something and is filled with an inhuman amount of pride in himself, but he doesn't really flaunt anything. He's a huge flirt and has a very unique sense of humor. Often times, he'll go along with horrible ideas just to see how badly they turn out; as long as they're not causing any permanent damage to anyone who doesn't deserve it. He's fiercely loyal to his friends and the people that work for him.
Powers
- Electric Discharge - Arian is able to emit a constant stream of electricity from his body. Though he isn't sure how to really manipulate the electricity, he uses this ability with his metal staff to deliver paralyzing and extra painful blows to his opponents.
Equipment
- Derflinger - Arian has named his metal staff Derflinger as a reference to one of his favorite anime series, Zero no Tsukaima. The staff itself has no special attributes, but it seems to be important to Arian.
Romances
Despite his flirtatious nature, when Arian finds a woman he truly wants to be with, he is an extremely loyal lover. Unfortunately, even he has admitted that it takes a lot for a woman to keep him interested and satisfied. He's a very demanding lover and because of this, he's very careful about who he gets into a serious relationship with.
- Siren's Allure - Arian met Ashika on his first time visiting Pocket D. Though he did find her attractive, he didn't expect that they would both end up developing feelings so quickly for each other. The two have matching, sarcastic senses of humor and she tends to be a good check for him when he says something too honest to a person. Arian feels comfortable with Ashika on many levels. This is mostly because she has the same views as he does when it comes to fighting crime and dealing with problems.
Allies
Arian takes true friendship very seriously. He believes that a comfortable friendship is key to a good relationship; romantic, platonic, or otherwise. It may seem at times like he's quick to assume friendship, but that's only because he tries to be kind and trusting towards anyone he meets; until they give him a reason not to be.
Enemies
Arian does not forgive people unless they truly seek his forgiveness; though, he doesn't consider anyone a true enemy until they've truly done something wrong to him or to one of his allies. An enemy of Arian is someone he truly believes would bring benefit to existence, as a whole, if they would just die.
