Nurse

Lucas was born to a single, widowed mother in Seattle, WA in 1998. Prior to being born, he had been enrolled in clinical trials testing electric regeneration. Predisposed to inheriting electrokinesis from his late father, he was a perfect subject for the testing. Unlike his father, he lacked the susceptibility to being electrocuted- by even large AMPs of electricity. This was only due to experiments before he was born.

His childhood was riddled with visits to testing facilities, to make sure progress was effectively being made towards regenerative healing. Including assessments of pain tolerance, and waiting periods of time to see exactly how quickly say- a wound could heal. The wounds were dealt as ethically as one could deal a wound. A medically precise way. Of course, this wasn't very good to experience whatsoever as a child. Due to the fact that he was volatile electrically, he had to be insulated as much as possible from the nurses and doctors performing the tests.

He felt completely isolated as a child due to the fact that he electrocuted nearly everyone who tried to hug, hold, soothe, care for him. His mother, though she did care for him, couldn't soothe him as much as she wanted to without risk of being electrocuted. This wasn't helped by the fact that his mother hadn't the warmest personality. They rarely communicated about anything related to feelings.

Lucas assumed his mother didn't care for him throughout his childhood, and constantly attempted to win her praise. Unfortunately, despite trying his best constantly to win her favor, everyone in his life was determining his worth based on the success of the clinical trials- if successful, he would be a person of worth. If not, he wouldn't be anything.

He was plagued by the constant stress of making these experiments go well. He couldn't
control the voltage, or release of electricity. His healing powers were weak in comparison. He could mildly heal others wounds, but at the risk of electrocuting them. The doctors found the results unsatisfactory.

To everyone's dismay, the trial ceased as soon as it started to become dangerous for the doctors involved. Around the time Lucas was a teenager. The effects were irreversible, and repayment for this was a salary that ended as soon as Lucas turned 18. Enough was saved for nursing school, but otherwise, no funds were saved for anything more than that. Though, he wanted to go to med school to be a paramedic.

He hadn't much of anything to look forward to past that. He constantly felt like disappointment. He wanted to impress someone. He wanted to be of use. The only reason he wanted to be a doctor was to be reliable to someone. Taking care of patients could maybe make up for his years of not being 'good enough'.
