## Origin

Kronos Founding Jr. (as known to his family) was the only son of The Founding Family; the very first group of super powered heroes that made their presence known in Rocket City, approximately 1 year before the arrival of the Super Legion. They were comprised of a family unit and although active within the city, were not primarily known for their super-heroic actions. Kronos was the twin brother of his sister Pandora and to the outside world he was the perfect child; but found it incredibly difficult to live up the standards that his father placed on him as his only son. He strived for perfection in all of his schooling and sports. He became a local celebrity because of his swimming ability at their private school, even being earmarked for Olympic competition. However around the age of 13, his ability to create & control lightning became active and made swimming a much more difficult (and dangerous) activity. At this time his parents decided to restructure the family home to become a school; creating the Founding School to train their own super powered children but also others.

## Founding School

Kronos Sr. was initially against the idea of having so many young super-powered individuals under one roof; but his wife Gaia persuaded him it would be a life changing experience for everybody. The school was an instant success; with gifted students from around the world learning about their powers and developing into examples of perfect young heroes. Around this time, Kronos realised that he shared feelings for another student called Verse, a boy from Buenos Aires, which eventually led to his first kiss. After 18 months of training, the school held its first graduation for some of the older students (including Kronos and his sister). Disaster struck when a series of errors unleashed the young students powers onto the crowds; killing the majority of the students and eventually killing all of the Founding Family, except for Kronos and his twin sister. Thunder & Pandora attended the funeral for their family and classmates; but both were overcome with guilt and anger with the tragedy. They vowed to never attempt to train or help others again, becoming much more introverted in the process. They used the funds from their family to secretly move into the city and attempt a 'normal' life with finishing university. Kronos renamed his civilian self Theo; wanting to create a boundary between his two lifestyles. He did however come into contact with the retired Devil's Kiss; who now worked as a police officer in the city.

## Powers & Abilities

### Powers

Kronos can manipulate native energy from The Aether; an alternate dimension. This energy appears as lightning on our plane of existence; giving Kronos the appearance of electrokinesis.

### Additional Abilities

Flight

Unfortunately the twins were once again targeted when the Night of the Netherworlders occurred, throwing them into the heart of the action despite wanting a normal life. Thunder was instrumental in fighting back against the Netherworlders as his powers had grown over time and seemed to be fuelled more with anger. He brought down multiple lightening strikes to protect the other powered targets. Despite their training, Pandora was killed in action by a sneak attack. Thunder was devastated by the loss and brought down another intense lightning storm - saving multiple other targets in the process. Eventually the battle was won and Thunder was left mourning his sister. He saw yet again the destruction and decided he was one of the few people able to stop it happening again.

## Externals

Theo took a short break from the city; travelling across the world to try and discover who he was by himself. Once he returned to Rocket City, he asked Devil's Kiss to join the Externals, officially taking his father's old codename and becoming the new **Kronos**. Kronos was an important part of the team, being an experienced young superhero that understood that dangers that they could face. He would become an unofficial trainer for the younger heroes; despite feeling haunted by the failings of his family's school. Eventually these feelings would subside - and Theo would fall in love with fellow team member Whisper to start a solid relationship.

## Trivia
