Your Origin

BreakABone · 08-02-2008, 03:43 PM

This is the place for you to state your origins/background/where your power come from.

Some details will be placed into the story itself while there will be dedicated issues/threads to an origin tale. I have some ideas in my head as always, but let's see em.

Was working on a project for the military developing a strong, reusable material that can be shaped and used for a number of things. Got locked into the test chamber before experiments with the materials reaction to gamma radiation were taken . OH NOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUPER POWERS!!!!!!!!!!!

Im's a clones. Created as soldiers to form an army. The cloning process is difficult and one slight gene displacement can create a defective/rouge soldier which must be terminated immediately before it can influence others. A powerful force to be reckoned with but have no "powers". Cloning has gone according to plan thus far and things look good for future cloning...

During a luxurious vacation through the Africa, a mysterious and old witch doctor asked me for some spare change. I shrugged him off and continued upon my exquisite journey. As I walked away from him, he began chanting an ancient spell. That night, he came to me in a dream and told me what he had done. He said I could enter anyone's dream. And he said the decision to cause them harm or good-will was my choice. Angered by his curse, I haunted people in their dreams and caused them harm and pain.

I was an orphan that was raised by a community of hippies. Due to my unique upbringing, I'm am the definition of a pacifist wrapped in human flesh. I got involved in various sob-story causes, which eventually led to political connections. Thanks to a healthy law-suit against the state over an illegal cannabis raid at my place of residence, money isn't something I worry about anymore. Most people underestimate me because they think I'm just a stoner with some cash, but distributing the weed gives me power over the streets.

My power is subtle, but effective. The power of suggestion. If I make a suggestion to somebody during physical contact, they have a powerful voice that reminds them of the suggestion anytime they consider acting against it. It can be ignored, but it's difficult.

I will be the clockwork angel, bent on vengeance. (Playing off my avatar here ) Created in a twisted experiment, my humanity has been robbed and replaced by cruel machinery. I have joined the evil alliance out of convenience while I search for the ones who did this to me. I have limited flight (Can jump quite high, and glide quickly over long distances), and impressive swordsmanship. I am also quite hard to kill, as I am almost completley clockwork, and my body is made of a ceramic like materiel that is as hard as diamonds. My sword is a vibroblade, capable of slicing through almost any armor. In addition to the sword have a pair of revolvers.

Kind of outlined it in the power thread already (read above if you missed it), I am both a man, and not. A clockwork angel. I care not how I got this way, only that those who robbed my humanity should die. I cannot tell how old I am, or remember any of my past. The only thing I remember is being left for dead in an unknown desert. If you want some ideas to flesh out my past more, you PM me, I thought of a few, or you could go with whatever.

I'm all for other ideas.
So share them if you like.
Or I could run with this.

I come from a small fishing island located just off of Norway's coast where I've spent my entire life living in and beside water. I was born with Viking's Luck, so things go my way. I moved to Canada after I finished my entirely-free post-secondary education in Scandanavia. I'm a B.A., an M.A., and a B.M.F. besides.

I turned evil when I watched the movie "Into the Wild." I could not possibly understand how such a person could WANT to meet so many people and break their hearts and live in isolation to prove a point. It turned me into Neutral Evil alignment, and I use the power of Water and Viking's Luck to get what I want.

I have no origin. I have always been. Will always be. Even when death greets me I will live on for I am eternal.

So it goes

I know asked for input, but due to some other origins.
You two have less control over your origins as bits and pieces of it have already been worked out to fit the story.
But I will try and incorpate as much as possible.

I was walking through a top secret government building full of radioactive waste for some known but illogical reason, and as I was running away from security I knocked over one of the barrels containing the radioactive waste. At the same time a lamp from the ceiling above fell onto said radioactive waste, creating a radioactive-electric beam that struck me down, thus giving me my powers.

If this sounds like the plot for some B-action/horror movie, I reassure you that it is not.

Nighthawk · 09-05-2008, 07:03 PM

Bube and Nighthawk were simple average youngsters, but as N.hawk got to the age of 18, that making Bube the age of 21, all those years of the radioactive effect of their pc (which they spent hours looking straight at the monitor) and their cellphone combined with the constant yelling going around the house, such as " clean your room", "bring those empty water bottles downstairs","COME TO DINNNNEEERRRRRR!!!!" etc...

N.hawk just went crazy about all those stuff so one day he ran out to the backyard and screamed so loud for such a long time, eventually his voice was only a high-pitched-fly-like buzz... and his dad came rushing downstairs telling him to shut up, slapping him on the head... and as faith played its role in this story, there was a hawk flying by, which pooped right on his head simultaneously with the slap...

Bube, on the other hand, was totally unaware of the yelling, because he was too busy listening to music with his headset... that also made N.hawk very mad so N.hawk eventually punched the headset while Bube was still wearing them... for the reasons i stated above, his playlist was no longer playing through his headset, but from inside his head... (his playlist t.b.a)

Sadly you don't get much say in the matter since your origins have kind of been weaved into the story...

I was trekking around in Madagascar and encountered a chameleon. I went to touch it when it bit my finger. The DNA from the chameleon combined with mine which resulted in me becoming a shapeshifter.

I don't have any background info ready, just putting this here so I don't forget.
