Early life
Fulmen's life on Virilin lacked anything resembling excitement or adventure. He was close friends with Marina Selenia and Kalia Leone, who were bandmates and classmates in his elementary and early high school years, and had a long unstated crush on a girl named Lily. He grew up oblivious to the threat that the Spellbane posed to him or other mages, so when he learned he could channel magic, he couldn't keep it quiet. He showed off when he could, practicing bigger and bigger displays of the lights and sounds that accompanied electricity. Marina and Kalia both showed small magical talents too, but unlike Fulmen, they didn't expand them.

In early 65 PM, Fulmen had band classes outside the normal school schedule. In the winter, this meant that darkness had fallen before he left home, and the Spellbane took this as an opportunity. A squad of two led by Jonah intercepted him during his walk home, prepared with firearms and many methods of disabling spells. They were interrupted by Lily, and to avoid arousing more suspicion, she was killed on the spot. Fulmen tried to attack the Spellbane members, hoping to take Lily's life back, but his lack of training left him helpless. Jonah gave him two bullet wounds to his leg, but in trying to kill him, Fulmen's spark ignited, pushing an exceptional amount of magic into the surrounding area, killing Jonah's partner and knocking out the region's power grid.

The Triumvirate War
Fulmen's spark deposited him in a grove near the city of Entela on Volaria, where he came to be under the care of Arina Nisita. She possessed unfamiliar technology and magic that aided his recovery. She brought him to Entela to meet the then-First Advisor Sara Aliri to introduce him to Entelan society. Fulmen and Arina grew into a relationship over the next six months, and before the end of that time, Arina firmly proposed that he become her Final Partner, which he accepted without hesitation. Around that time, Arina gained information that a large military alliance calling itself The Triumvirate had formed between the largest cities on Volaria. So it wouldn't be alone in the event that The Triumvirate tried to start a war, Entela has two major tasks: Form their own alliance, and find information about The Triumvirate. Sara and Fulmen focused on the former, traveling around and convincing the other factions that a war was going to happen and they needed to be prepared.

Month 8, Day 17. Late at night, Arina was hunted down by Revela Ylerne, and while her ignited, this information was unknown to anyone but Revela. Believing her to be dead, Sara declared a war against Oscura, and Fulmen fell into a depression. To try to help him out of this depression, Sara assigned him the task of teaching a young and newly-orphaned Seiva Zeni how to live on her own, including using Entelan funds to buy food. While this worked to a slight degree, Fulmen pushed Sara to let him take some part in aiding the war effort.

Six months after the beginning of the Triumvirate War, Fulmen proposed an option to Sara: He had two friends that could also learn magic, and they could help him help the war effort. All he had to do was take them from Virilin to Volaria - a task made possible using Entelan technology in addition to his planeswalking. He returned to Virilin, much more careful to avoid any possible Spellbane presents, and tracked down Marina and Kalia. Kalia was overenthusiatic to help, and fearing that she might get herself hurt, Marina agreed to help as well.

Fulmen brought Marina and Kalia back to Volaria, where they were taught how to cast spell, and over the next three months, they learned about the study of magic. Marina could understand the Volarians perfectly, whereas Kalia required her to translate. By the end of those three months, Sara had learned how to talk to Kalia and observed a problem: Kalia couldn't survive the Volarian atmosphere, and at some point it was going to randomly kill her.

Fulmen, Marina, Kalia, and Sara were part of the final push to disable the Oscuran military. Fulmen dueled Revela and lost. Before she could take his life, Sara found them and restored Revela's memory. Fulmen was part of the final battle against Theynor and the Spirit of Balance. Carelessly, he cast a large spell intended for Theynor, and Kalia got caught in the splash of it, killing her outright. Marina's latent spark ascended.

In the aftermath of the war, with all the Elemental Masters of the Triumvirate factions being dead, Revela was proposed to be solely at fault for causing the war. Fulmen was a big proponent of her acquittal in those matters, proposing that she would not have started the war if her memory had been intact. After the other Masters agreed to let her off, she gave Fulmen information no one else had: his final partner was a planeswalker.

The Search for Arina
Between 365 VY and 368 VY, Fulmen traveled a number of planes looking for signs of Arina's presence. He found a home on Ravnica that had Volarian writing, but seemed to belong to a Lerithan merchant. He frequently returned to Volaria, to check up on the progress of the political situation. Fulmen ended up on The Arena, hoping to find any further leads. While this didn't help him find anyone, he used this opportunity to set up a small home that he could come back to once he finally found her. After messing around on the Arena, he located the Lerithan merchant that met Arina, and he identified that he sent her to Intera to guide her back to Volaria. With the information that Intera was surrounded by a dimensional anchor -- and therefore, he couldn't leave after he landed there, he returned to Volaria to prepare. He carried with him a large amount of aether, some healing serum, and a couple fruits and spices vital to a gift for Arina.

Fulmen went to Intera and found his way to a battlefield featuring the current resistance. Arina was leading the charge, but was badly injured and exhausted. After the fight, he went to find her, finding that she was under the care of another resistance leader named Reliya that had no knowledge of the requirements for Arina's life. With the tools he brought, Arina was able to regain her strength, and with Fulmen by her side, she pushed to end the war in the next year and finally be allowed to leave Intera. Fulmen and Arina returned to The Arena to relax after the long war, soon giving birth to Hannah Delcarlo-Nisita.

A Father's Life
At the beginning of 371 VY, Hannah was born. Fulmen took work as a technician in Entela, working on circuitry and small devices to make money while Arina watched Hannah and worked on authoring books. Fulmen spent much of his free time learning to duel with magic professionally, getting very good at flashy and expressive displays of light. In 381 VY, he brought Hannah to The Arena via Entela's newly functional Aether Tunnel so she could spend more time with Arina and work on learning how to do engineering in Entela.

The Extraction Project
Fulmen was involved in helping The Extraction Project from its inception. Fulmen traveled as one of Sara's adult guides to collect magical youth that might be at risk from the Spellbane on Virilin. Once the youth were safe in an Entelan outpost in a country free from the Spellbane's presence, he also helped with translating for them and teaching them how to cast spells without needing the aether that Volarians use.

On Day 21 in Month 8 of 386 VY, The Spellbane make an attack against the outpost, headed by Captain Jonah. Sara ordered Fulmen to stay out of combat, fearing that he might not live through the attack, but he disregarded her order. Instead, he singled out Jonah and attacked him directly. Both Jonah and Fulmen were killed in their fight.

Spells/Gear/etc

 * Electromancy - Most of Fulmen's truly aggressive use of magic is pinpoint strikes of electricity. He can control his magic with high precision, but he rarely doesn't need to.
 * Dispelling Aether - Fulmen can control aether like the Volarians he learned from, but he learned specifically how to use aetherics to disassemble other weaker spells.
 * Mk III Transceiver - Fulmen has a transceiver model from before the Triumvirate War, with some minor upgrades. It can communicate across planes with other transceivers, can access the Entelan data network, and has assorted minor computing functions.
