Appearance

His retainers have decided that he looks good in white leather with silver trimmings, and he's accepted it, gloves and all, because being insulated behind thick clothing seems like about the right idea. He looks like an ordinary Hispanic eighteen-year-old would if somebody applied godlike hotness to him and then went crazy with a bucket of bleach.

History

Canaan Reyes was an ordinary Mexican-American teenager who spent his days working in his father's auto shop, getting into the standard kinds of trouble with friends, and hoping for a girlfriend to enter his life. Then he became a god. He would never have guessed that phenomenal cosmic power, unquestionable social superiority, and six-pack abs could suck so much.

It's the nature of Lightning to pour into things, to drop down from the sky and get inside of you, with electrifying results. So it is with Canaan, and he's discovered that once he gets close enough to somebody to reach out and touch them, something about him touches their hearts, and they react strongly, as though they'd known him forever. This has made him some good friends and led to some very pleasing encounters, but it's also made him some enemies: not everybody wants to have their heart touched. Also, it's, um, is wrong the word? Is touching people's hearts wrong? Canaan isn't sure, but he's starting to find it a little bit creepy. And that's on top of leaving his family behind to live in a Chancel and do work for a mysterious and godlike being.

Canaan works as a messenger because he seems to be able to move through things like walls and locked doors and miraculous wardings with a minimum of fuss, and at a decent fraction of the speed of light.
