Character Name: Cerdian
Character LJ (if applicable):
Physical description (face, build, weight): Cerdian has violet colored eyes and brown hair. He is 6 feet tall and 220 lbs. Cerdian a bunch of blue tattoos on his left side and a few on his right arm which glow when he channels magic. The tattoos on his left arm change to an abstract image of whatever animal he channels.
Age: 23
Birthday: June 28th
PB: (If using one.) Daniel Ewing
Abilities: Atlantian/Altered-Human Physiology- Cerdian has the standard Atlantian abilities all atlantians possess though on a slightly lesser level than his father due to his half Atlantis nature. But he can stay out of water indefinitely without it negatively effective him to badly. Cerdian also possess marine telepathy which he can use to communicate with marine life and ask them to do things for him.
Sorcery- Cerdian was born with the innate ability to use magic and has been trained by his father in it's use a bit though has taken a rather different approach to it. Generally he uses it to control water in the same manner as his father. Though his preferred use of magic is to tap into the powers and abilities of marine life in a similar way to Vixen's animal mimicry. He can also open up portals in water to other bodies of water large enough for the portal to form. Cerdian while he has a lot of power potential in magic use but he is far from being considered a sorcerer of Atlantis and unless something changes in his view likely never will achieve that potential.
Connection to the Clear- Cerdian feels a strong connection to The Clear, the universal consciousness of all marine life and taps into this often when he uses his magic or his marine telepathy. This also makes marine life rather friendly towards him and not as likely to attack him. This effect tends to be stronger with whatever animal he is currently channeling.
Weaknesses and flaws: While being out of the water does not effect Cerdian much physically it does weaken his connection to The Clear which negatively effects his ability to use magic effectively or use his marine telepathy. Prolonged time away from the water can also create a psychological desire to go back to it. He is incapable of forcing marine life to do things and cannot use his telepathy on none marine life for anything but communication. His animal channeling magic works better in the presence of the animal he's channeling and he can only channel one ability at a time. While his protection to the Clear makes animals friendlier towards him and less likely to attack him this will not stop an animal from going against it's nature or something it is being forced to do.
Character location/Home: Mobile/Atlantis

Backstory: Cerdian, though he prefers Ian when he can actually get people to call him that, was kidnapped just after his birth though was successfully rescued and got his name as a gesture of goodwill to the people of an island that Atlantis just annexed.
He grew up around the Titans and in Atlantis with his mother doing everything she could to keep him safe and out of harm's way. Which was often not easy due to supervillian after Garth, attacking Atlantis, or Cerdian's own curious nature. While Cerdian feels more at home in the water he has not problem with spending any amount of time on land and often did to hang out with friends he met through his dad's titans connections.
Cerdian has a strong connection to marine animals and honestly kind of likes them a lot more than more people or atlantians and has more than a few animals that he considers close friends. He apparently discovering his basic animal telepathy at a young age call sea life he him which sometime were dangerous. For this reason he has gone into marine biology going for degree at a university on land with some classes in Atlantis. His reasoning being that have a surface degree will make it easier to get surface people to listen to him.
He currently does work for marine biology ships and crews while working on his doctorate. He wants to gain acceptance from both the surface and the underwater world in this to create better understanding on both side to better protect marine life. He does a lot of work to protect the worlds oceans as well and to help Atlantis when needed. He has some connections with the Justice League when they need aquatic help.
