Appearance

Body Features

Serran is somewhat scrawny for a regular Alatash, and he hasn't put much focus into body development. He's not weak, he's just not strong either.

Identifying Characteristics

Serran is an Alatash born over the ocean, and this has caused him to have natural blue wings. Nothing stands out more on Serran than his blue wings.

Physical quirks

Growing up, and as a source of embarrassment, Serran's wings developed slower than usual, reaching full maturation at around 19, instead of the usual age of about 16 or 17. Today, however, his wings are fully strong and normal.

Special abilities

Serran has the ability to masterfully manipulate water of any kind. He can pull water out of the air with some strain, or out of a body of water with ease. He can turn water into ice, purify the water of impurities, and even make clouds you can safely stand on.
 
Serran also has minor psionic abilities from his studies with Silvester. Serran is able to speak directly to people's minds if he can visibly see them, cast powerful hallucinations that are both seen and felt, and perform different types of trickery just for fun. With great strain, Serran can also cast mass hallucinations, though this quickly leaves Serran drained. Recently, Serran has learned the ability to control the minds and bodies of a nonsentient creature, but if he is not careful, this can cause him to have a massive migraine.
 
Finally, and so far Serran is not sure how he did this, nor how to stop it when it happens, Serran can occasionally pull him and someone else into a mental plane. Serran has the ability to control the mental plane but does not know how to get out of it, once inside.

Mentality

Personal history

Serran is the youngest fledgling of 5 siblings, and his birth process was much easier for his mother, Ulia. Instead of developing in a two-egg pregnancy, he was the only fertilized egg, and as such, Ulia was very grateful for that. When Serran was born, Ulia immediately took him under her wing, and he quickly became her favorite son. This, coupled with the fact that Serran was both weaker and smarter than his siblings, lead to him being picked on often and even excluded from the games they would play. Serran was often the favorite child by everyone he didn't want to impress. Serran was loved by his mother, and he was sorta taken under the wing of his grandfather, Hideaki Nuwar, but for him growing up, all he wanted was to impress his father and older siblings. Try as he might to overcome his siblings' distaste for him, Serran's siblings resented him because of Serran's over-confident exterior and because of his family's favoritism.
 
However, this did not stop Serran from being all he could be, and instead, Serran threw himself into learning everything he could, even practicing charisma, learning how to work around any situation, and turn things in his favor. For the longest time, Serran did this in desperation to be liked by those he looked up to, though this only made him more disliked as a know-it-all. At school, however, Serran was well known and that popularity went to his head, causing him to act out and cause trouble. Towards the end of his adolescence and schooling, Serran's father, Akomaru began to step up and become more active in his life, especially with two other siblings fully grown and living on their own. This proved very helpful for Serran, and he began to heal emotionally and finally get some of what he was always striving for: acceptance.
 
When Serran finished school, he wanted to take his powers with water manipulation to higher heights and become all he could be. This inspiration came out of a poor decision he made to reject the gift his grandfather had for him on Serran's coming of age celebration. For male Alatash, it is custom to give each son a weapon at age 18 to defend themselves and their future families. Mr. Hideaki gave his grandson his very own crafted water blade hilt, and Serran, seeing the new hilts his brothers got, openly rejected his weapon and even publically made it known before his friends and family on that day. This hurt his grandfather and angered his parents. After the party ended and Serran was reprimanded, they sat him down and explained all the work that went into the hilt he was receiving as a gift, and when he understood, he found a new respect for his grandfather and family.
 
Thereafter Serran soon became an acolyte at an arcane school in Umorlia, but quickly found out how to master his skills and wanted to learn more than the school could teach. One day, Serran discovered that there was a way he could take his intelligence to a whole new level and project it on others to gain more information on them, as well as control what they see and feel. It was apparent that this knowledge was forbidden in Umorlia, but Serran's old nature to learn and control wasn't gone, so Serran left despite the warnings to go and learn more about this. His journeys took brought him to Sorapoli where he has found a teacher who was willing to teach him this arcane knowledge, and that man was Silvester Furmilo.
 
Serran has been through a lot, and frankly, these things he's been through have hit him all at once, with very little respite.
 
Up until 1050ABD, Serran had only ever known two locations: Umorlia, his hometown, and Sorapoli, the place of his current residence and study under the psionic master, Silvester Furmilo. However, as fate would have it, Silvester sent his apprentice out to do a simple task of retrieving water specifically from the large body of water closest to Sorapoli, Miro Lake, and from there, nothing has remotely been the same for Serran.
 
While gathering water for his master, Serran encountered a strange group of people on a military ship, headed to the Ancora Kingdom to help in the decades-long war with the Silvers. On this ship were Aurra, Beolore, Kiernan, and Mimyra as well as many Daoine, as they were the contingency that was being sent to the Ancora Kingdom to help. From that point forward, Serran went on to help in a war he knew nothing about in Ancora, then help stop a plague that was affecting the desert Daoine of Ra Minol, and finally end up on a cursed island with several of his new friends. During his time there, Serran was suddenly snatched out of the cave and he immediately found himself smack dab in the middle of Paragon City. Dazed and confused, it took Serran months to get his bearings in a strange new world that was technologically more advanced than his own...
 
But sure enough, Serran soon got used to Earth, a world far away from his own, and now Serran is regularly fighting crime in the city, desperately trying to prove himself to the gods so that he can return home.

Serran has attended:

• Regular Grade School (Umorlia)


• Arcanic School (Umorlia)


• Silvester's Academy of Psionics (Sorapoli)

Accomplishments & Achievements

Serran has fought in the most recent battle of Ancora against the Silver Dragons, helped find a cure for a mysterious plague in Ra Minol, and helped defeat the woman who started the plague. From here, Serran got marooned on a cursed island called Janshima Island, and it was here that he help defeat a small army of Tricerators and raptors raiding a village.
 
Once Serran got into the cave to break the curse of Janshima Island, Serran suddenly then found himself on Earth in Paragon City and has fought hard against the Hellions, Freaks, and many more villains.

Mental Trauma

Serran still has slight PTSD from the recent battle of Ancora and from a mental assault by Aurra Maudelyn. Other than this, Serran is fairly stable, even given his current situation being in a different world altogether.

Intellectual Characteristics

Serran is very adept at water magic, so much so, he focuses more on psionics because it challenges him greater. Serran has enough knowledge about water magic, that he is cable of moving large amounts of water from just about any source and bend it to do his bidding.
 
Serran is very smart and understands more than he allows others to know. Oftentimes, Serran likes to hide his intelligence in a poorly timed joke that irritates people.

Morality & Philosophy

Serran's morality and philosophy is a mix of his own traditional culture of the Alatash, and that of his own. Like most Alatash, Serran is very respectful to people he trusts, and he is willing to help others in need who are suffering. But Serran doesn't just limit his generosity to people of his race, unlike the Alatash. More or less, Serran believes in equality of the different races.
 
Serran is also not one for lingering on negative emotions for too long. This does not mean that Serran never allows himself or others to feel bad, but rather, if he has the ability to laugh off his problems, he will. That said, Serran is only mediocrely good with comedy, and usually tends to be more sarcastic and annoy others.

Taboos

Serran would never cut the wings off of a fellow Alatash unless he knew they were deserving of such a punishment. An Alatash's wings are their life, and to no longer have wings, is to be useless in Serran's eyes. Alatash are born to fly.

Known Languages

Serran knows Jailic, which is very similar to Japanese, and English.

Personality

Motivation

Serran is presently motivated to get back to his world, Drimore, and he is currently convinced the way to do that is to please the gods somehow.

Likes & Dislikes

Serran really enjoys rice, and Serran can eat rice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Serran also likes ocean fish and finds he prefers that to river fish due to the saltier flavor of an ocean fish.
 
Serran doesn't really like most drinks that are not water. Having lived in a cloud city most of his life, water is what's most abundant, so anything else is foreign to him. That said, Serran has recently been introduced to teas, and is finding that to be relatively enjoyable. His favorite tea presently is a simple hot green tea.
 
As of late, Serran has really come to love apple fritter donuts.
