★ Folkmore Roles & Attributes ★

Skills: Being part of the fight club Glitch managed to make up his own fighting style. Mostly it involves dodging, blocking and diverting kicks and punches to throw the attacker off balance. When he knocks them over he ends up taking advantage and attacks them while they're lying on their back. With this type of fighting style it has made him fast and nimble able to avoid and dodge at a faster reaction time than others in his Dome.

He can put together simple things mostly due to his job in the dome.
Canon Abilities:
Glitch has the ability to manipulate, create and use electricity in a multitude of ways. He's capable of shooting electricity from his hands, draining electricity from other sources and storing it inside himself. He has been able to short out the robots in his Dome long enough to steal food.. He can generate electricity and cover his limbs with it to deliver an electrified punch. Glitch can also fire electricity out from his hands and blast others with it. To a degree, Glitch can use his electrical powers to lift, throw, and move metallic objects.

Glitch has managed to refine his ability to control how much power he outputs as well. Exhibited with the robots, Glitch only ever held back enough to temporarily make the robots malfunction. He can make an electrical blast as weak or as powerful as he wants, deciding if he’d rather stun someone (like at the fight clubs) or using a more lethal blast.

He is completely immune to anything remotely electrocity-based. He can’t be electrocuted and killed with electricity for he can redirect or absorb the energy. However, he is vulnerable to water. Large amounts of it can completely short him out and drain him of his electrical abilities for a short time. If he is completely submerged in water he could potentially die.

While he’s only used his electrokinesis for certain things in the Dome and to very small degrees he does have the potential to allow this ability to grow more powerful if he practices and used it more in a more open setting.

Role: Familiar
Role Qualities/Attributes: Animal claws (some form of cat claws) that come right outta his fingernails.
Role Reasoning: Glitch is basically at a crossroads of his development. He's so jaded and standoffish right now that he's not exactly nice to be around. Not to mention he would steal from people. However, he also has shown genuine kindness to others and is loyal to his friends. He could go "bad" or "good" at this point. .

★ Personality ★

Glitch is an angry teenager. Constantly rude, crass and stand offish when you first meet him. After all, it’s the front he shows to the world. Growing up in the situation he did, Glitch learned not to be a pushover. He doesn’t let anyone talk down to him or walk over him if he can help it. However, it doesn’t mean he’s stupid. Glitch has always known when to pick his fights and just how to win them. Observant and self reliant, he would only pick these fights when he figured out his opponents’ weakness or when he can gain something from it. He’s a boy of calculated risks and will often seek to tip them in his favour, rules be damned.

Glitch was forced to grow up fast. Constantly being preyed upon when he was younger, Glitch developed a quick distrust of strangers. He’s always suspicious of others intentions and always on guard when he’s put into a situation where he has to speak with a stranger. Despite his initial distrust, he isn’t against making allies for “mutual survival.” When faced with a situation he is unfamiliar with or could gain little by himself, he’s willing to work with another to get what he wants. When deciding if he should go out on a limb and help a stranger it’s always with the intent of what he can gain from it.

However, he’s fully capable of trusting someone eventually; usually when he does he’s a very loyal. Torch is a prime example because while their relationship first began because of blackmail he learned to count on her. He will always have another person’s back if he knows they have his he just needs to see it. He’s willing to go to whatever means to keep them safe and healthy be it stealing or fighting. He won’t ever abandon someone he calls a friend regardless of how hard a situation may seem.

Underneath the layer of a rude, selfish teenage boy does lie a decent person. When Glitch does see suffering or an abuse of power to children he’s at least willing to act against it and do something selfless. He was willing to take in a bunch of kids he didn’t know and keep them safe from the worst of the teen dome. For his friends, he was willing to risk life and limb just to supply them with enough food. He’s actually even capable of some semblance of cheeriness, through snarky humour or willingness to be more talkative. His life just hasn’t allowed much for this decent side to come out.

Glitch is something of a rule breaker. From a young age he never followed the Domes rules set, at least for the most part. He would steal food, use his powers and partake in underground fighting. He's willing to steal from people he views as careless or deserving of it. If they lost their property? It's his now. If someone took it and they couldn't get it back but he could? It's his. He may be willing to give it back...but only for something of equal value. Why he would break these rules comes down to two things; for survival and those he cares about. Any act of theft he has ever done has always been for those things and not a lot can dissuade him from it. If a situation seems a bit risky, he’s willing to wait and watch when there’s a better opportunity. But, if it really came down to it? If in a situation that could mean the death of himself or a friend? He would do it, regardless of consequence.


Glitch has what you'd call a snarky sense of humor. Usually, he'll crack jokes about himself in a jaded and sarcastic way usually to cope with the bad situation he lives in. An example of this would be something like a shortage of food. If he goes hungry one one day his response would be something along the lines "well, that's okay, I'm sure I don't need food this week to stay alive. Clearly, I'll survive on those things called rainbows and hope." It's sarcastic and obviously very patronizing to whomever he's talking to. But, mostly the patronizing nature of his humour is reserved for the people he dislikes. He makes sure he sounds insulting to that person. Otherwise, it's just snark. With a younger audience, he tries to sound more light-hearted.

Lastly, Glitch holds an appetite to learn. Having so little now in the teen dome, he definitely longs for the days when he was a 'kid'. He's curious and observant and always willing to find some kind of new experience when he can. After all, learning could only make his survival easier, right?
