Atmosphere wouldn't be upset if you mistook him for a Lightning dragon. not only because it's an easy mistake to make - but because he's honoured every time it happens. he give his Ice origins little thought - the power of electricity and how well it conducts through water fascinates him far more. he might not have the elemental powers of a Lightning dragon, but he doesn't need them when there's so much technology to make use of!

his first encounter with Lightning was following a treacherous fight off the coast of the Tempest Spire, which left him gliding off whatever currents his wings could pick up with one of his legs so injured he could scarcely control himself at all. a Lightning clan managed to find him and take him in - and it was their technology that helped replace his leg with a prosthetic advanced enough that he would likely see a full recovery, but so well-insulated that he wouldn't have to hesitate to keep swimming through the oceans of Sornieth

he's since recovered wonderfully, though still prefers being in the water whenever possible because his muscles still overcompensate themselves on land. he can handle it for certain lengths of time, but it causes pain best relieved by the weightlessness of water

he and his partner, Mercy, call the Fireside Clan home but these fathoms spend so much time out at sea they go so far as to nest most often in the Shifting Expanse. then they take these electric hatchlings home to raise them in the massive underground hot springs that resemble a small ocean to such tiny hatchlings, but still keeps them safe until they're old enough to return to the oceans of Sornieth at large - that water that first led them on their first long trip to a lair so warm
