Lightning Ridge Black Opal

PERSONALITY

To put it simply, Lighting Ridge is all kinds of asshole you can imagine. He's aggressive, arrogant, rude, and selfish. He doesn't seem to give a shit about anyone but himself and wouldn't hesitate to crush something if it got in his way. He's actually been known to break gems without a thought. Since his original creation he's only ever had one state of mind, destroy. Back in the day he was something of a menace, an unstoppable force that had the power to do anything he wanted. Luckily, now a days, he only makes an appearance if he absolutely has to. Though there are the protective instincts for those he truly cares for inside him, deep deep down, both of his components know how unstable he can become and how he may be more of a danger than he would be a help.

TRIVIA

• LR seems to have the ability to summon thunderstorms but in reality it is because his electrical aura is so strong it effects the air and causes a reaction via rainstorms.
• Though his components don't have much trust in him, LR is actually very loyal and would never, ever, hurt anyone either one of his components have good ties with, even if the feelings are conflicted between them. If one half likes them, they're safe.
