**Faraday** is a character from the Compass Project series, first appearing in Gregale**.**

## Appearance

From the concept art Faraday has curly brown hair that have feathers growing amongst the curls, dark green eyes, and fair skin. He as a slightly mangled right ear which has lost some of its feathers around the tuft, but like the rest of him, he has predominantly grey feathers. He also has several small scars across his face and neck.

He looks a lot younger than he actually is, with the Gregales mistaking him for appearing to be thirteen (in comparison to a human age) when he is actually 20 years old.

#### **Synth Features**

On the cover art of Gregale, it shows that he has gold dusting around the edges of his flight feathers. His wings are symmetrically damaged, missing the wingtips and flight feathers. However he still retains a short fan of tailfeathers.

## Personality

Faraday is a brash, sardonic, mischievous Avio. He has a penchant for swearing and stealing, and though is knowledgeable about mechanics, electrics, and technology, he struggles with words and their meanings. He is also very loyal and headstrong.

## History

#### **Younger Life**

Faraday was originally a Risio product who was bought by a family in Tennessee when he was very young, leading to him to develop a strong Tennessee accent. Faraday tells the Gregale team that he learnt to swear because of his Granny, who was *'Fancy but could sneak in swear words like a ninja when talking*'.

One of his main memories is of his Granny knocking out a woman with a skillet. It is not known what happened that lead for him being returned to ARCDA, but as he had developed such a foul mouth and bad behaviour, he was sent to Core to become an Elite.

#### **Team Ruby-1**

Faraday, also known as Eddie in his team along with many other names, was a Ruby Elite. His team consisted of Bluebird (Wilny), Fury, Featherhead, and Rainbow.

He isn't sure of how many survived, but was determined to take part in the Gregale project so that he could get revenge.

#### **Gregale**

In Gregale, Faraday is happy to engage with the project.

## Abilities

#### **Bioelectric**

Faraday has electroplaques over his body which create an electric field that he can either discharge in a pulse or maintain and block out Musers with.
