25 Facts about Lightning (20 normal, 5 NSFW)
The 5 NSFW? rumbleinthesky-mun helped me out with those, so kudos to her like so much.
1. Even though this is probably the mun's best guess, Lightning is most likely left handed. There was the thought that he could use both hands, but he used his left hand for most of his attacks and just normally during "Forces of Nature".
2. Obviously, because of his American father and his Vietnamese mother, Lightning can speak two languages.
3. There is one thing, though: Lightning can speak english just fine, but he has a hard time reading in english. This comes from his lack of reading in general and never wanting to learn how to read it as a child.
4. His relationship with his brother Thunder is typical of any sibling relationship: he's both protective of Thunder and willing to snap at his brother the minute he upsets him.
5. According to the comics, Thunder and Lightning were actually conjoined twins that were separated by magic. What this magic was wasn't put into detail, nor did it mention where they were conjoined. rumbleinthesky-mun and I are still wondering if we'll do this.
6. It's also stated in the comics that Lightning and Thunder share a psychic link that allows them to communicate with each other. This is also something that Thunder-mun and I need to discuss.
7. Lightning believes his father abandoned his family, unlike his mother (and probably Thunder) who believe something bad happened. Lightning may or may not have abandonment issues because of their father's diappearance.
8. Lightning likes ice cream, and his favorite flavors are french vanilla and orange sherbert. He also likes these both together.
9. Obviously, Lightning prefers to wear sandals. They're easier to move in when he needs to defend himself or if he's in a hurry to get somewhere.
10. Lightning used his powers to carve a lightning bolt outside his bedroom door, to mark that it's obviously his room and nobody should walk into it without his invitation first.
11. He had his first taste of alcohol from his uncle, on his mother's side of the family; which his mother later scolded him for when he let his liking for alcohol go too far that one time.
12. Lightning is probably most willing to kill someone if the person were harming any of his friends or family members. He does have a conscious and feels sorry over anyone he hurts due to his recklessness, but if anyone threatend to harm someone like Thunder, he wouldn't waste his time getting to them first, and he wouldn't feel sorry a bout it at all.
13. He can actually hear Aqualad's telepathy, due to his father actually being an alien, but Lightning is completely unaware of this. He thinks it's weird that he can hear Aqualad's telepathy for animals, but he hasn't put any thought into it.
14. He's fairly familiar with some martial arts. He's not the best at it, but he knows a few things to protect himself in case he was in a situation where he isn't allowed to use his abilities.
15. Thunder and Lightning are from Southern Vietnam, from a small city. They not only have a home there, but they also have a residence in Jump City whenever they feel like dropping the other Titans a visit, when their city isn't in too much trouble.
16. Lightning likes panda bears; this is not a secret, obviously, if you roleplayed him or talked to me.
17. He generally likes his action movies, more than anything. He doesn't like horror movies because he thinks they're all based on the same idea of cheap thrills and tricks that are already old.
18. He's not one to apologize for anything, most of the time. It takes a nudge from someone else, like his brother, to actually admit he was wrong and do something about it.
19. Lightning's favorite American, or anything that isn't from his home, food is pizza. Put on any topping and he's willing to give it a try once.
20. Lightning doesn't know how to drive. It's obviously not a necessity that he needs, seeing that he can always walk or go by sky with his powers.
21. Lightning is a virgin, but he isn't naive. He was probably with a few girls when he was younger, and probably got to second base with them, but it never reached to some sort of emotional level.
22. I can see him disliking oral sex, to be honest, since Thunder-mun brought up the logic that saliva = wet. It's not like it'd be OMG PAINFUL, but it would probably feel awkward. Like, it would feel good, but kind of sting at the same time.
23. Despite how he is personality-wise, it's debated he would actually be quiet during sex, with the "enjoying it while it lasts" thing. Something ZOMG would have to happen to make him react with noise. Omg, why did I already think of this a long time ago?
24. I think, if the person he were having sex with agreed to it, he might be into biting. Not in a manner where he would actually draw blood obviously, but nibbling and all that.
25. He does have one sensitive area: his inner thighs. Like if you were to put your hand on his thighs, and move your fingers in, and squeeze. But obviously no one would know unless it was on accident or curiosity.
