Being born to a family who excelled in Hydrokinesis, their first user having been gifted it from the soul of a , Nairn was naturally gifted in his ways. He seemed to be good at it from the get-go, inheriting his family's power. Over the years he was taught many things in secrecy by his family, though he seemed to be rather reckless in his ways, due to his power. He was restricted to only the basic powers, and gradually his family would teach him more advanced abilities, making sure that his power was moderated as best it could be: but Nairn was hungry for more. He felt like he wasn't reaching his full potential; and so he delved into the secret teachings of his family. He spent days in secrecy going over their books from years back, practicing, refining and enhancing the techniques which he learnt of. Soon he decided that he'd show off his powers to his family, and when he did, they were shocked. They were disappointed in him for taking the books and practicing the techniques without supervision or without proper guidance or knowledge of what these spells could do. Nairn was angry: and so he decided to show another one of his skills. Water Generation.
It went.. horribly wrong. Upon generating the water, he didn't take into account for the pressure or power of it, and also the amount. He flooded and destroyed his family's ancestral home, basically creating a small scale tsunami that completely destroyed the home and area. He was banished to the school by his family. Before leaving he met with
Thomas Acharn, who would prove to become a powerful and loyal friend. They decided to stick together, as they were both rather powerful and trustworthy. And so, a friendship began, and a new chapter of life at the school also began for the pair.
