History of the Heroes of GameAmp!

So I had this idea for those of us who like to add a little bit of depth to their character whether you're into role play or not. I challenge each of you to come up with a brief origin story for your characters in the "Heroes of GameAmp" SG. Now, if the powers that be who run the site want to offer a prize for most original or best written, that's up to them. ;-D I'm really just suggesting this because I thought it would be fun and I'd love to see more of the creative ideas from the great minds of this site.

Re: History of the Heroes of GameAmp!

The Origins of Storm Wulf

Three am, Galaxy City district of Paragon City. In the semi darkness of an appartment the red glow of a recorder turns on. A shadowy figure whose hair is loose and wild about his shoulders at the moment takes a long pull from a double shot glass of whiskey before clearing his throat. He's sitting slouched into a comfortable chair and as he speaks into the microphone for the recorder his voice sounds quiet and raspy for some reason.

Personal Log Entry:
It's 3am, I think. I don't remember much of what happened tonight. I had just finished cleaning out my office in the lab and destroying all evidence of my work for Crey when I decided to sabotage their genetic recombination experiments as well. It wasn't difficult to find out where they'd hidden the lab. Now I wish I'd left well enough alone, I wish I'd not let my scientific curiousity get the better of me. I should have known better, should have known that Crey wasn't going to just let me leave. I was arrogant, foolish to think that I could get away with it, but I tried anyways. These two thugs came out of no where while I was looking over their genetic recombinator machine. I remember heavy blows and curses. And blood, there was so much blood. And then they tossed me in the machine, I think, I don't know I was only half conscious at the time...

FLASHBACK:
Dr. Adam Wheaton stands next to this machine that looks like someone's twisted version of the matter transporter capsule from "The Fly". Behind him three shadowy figures enter the room quietly enough not to be noticed in the semi darkness of the labratory. Two of the figures advance on him and then pounce, driving him to the ground in a flurry of punches and kicks. He cries out in vain and attempts to fight back but the rain of blows continue to fall until they are ordered to stop and the third shadowy figure speaks into the silence that is broken only by Adam Wheaton's wheezing attempts at breathing and pathetic groans of pain.

"Well, well... Dr. Wheaton, I presume. You do realize you're tresspassing on company property don't you," the shadowy figure asks the crumpled form on the ground. "I do hope you weren't planning on any kind of ill fated attempt at sabotaging out efforts here Doctor."

Just then one of the thugs spoke up, "Uh, what would ya like us to do with him boss? If he talks..."

"If he talks then no one will believe him because he's a crackpot! I don't care what you do with him, just make sure he's..... taken care of," the figure snapped at the thug before turning on his heel and leaving the lab.

"Hey, lets toss him in there. No one survives the process anyways. Besides there won't be any evidence because they all turn into piles of goo" Suggested the other thug as he gestured towards the chamber.

The first thug kicks Dr. Wheaton a couple more times for good measure before they pick him up and strap him down into the chair inside the chamber. They then close and lock the chamber. Just in case something goes wrong and they end up having to shoot him instead. Then the two thugs go over to the controls and start messing with the equipment overloading the circuits after arbitrarily allowing the computer to pick an imprint file. The computer picks that of a wolf. Then one of the thugs hits the "switch" as it were to begin the process. The machine starts to hum as it comes to life.

Personal Log Entry:
I remember heat, white hot heat as the machine came to life with me inside. After that everything was hazy, I remember gun shots, and ripping into that thugs throat with my teeth. My TEETH! I can still taste the blood, and the worst part is I liked it, it thrilled me to feel his blood spilling down my throat as his life ebbed away in my jaws. The other guy cursed and shot at me, but I was able to leap away and he hit something else. There was an explosion, the ringing in my ears made my head throb as I was thrown through a wall with the explosion. I got up and grabbed something, a suit I found out later. And then I started to run, well no I stumbled really, down the hall as I tried to put this suit on. Security was everywhere, I'm not sure exactly how I escaped them.

FLASHBACK:
The Machine hums as it's brought to life. The light inside of it growing so bright it forces the thugs to avert their eyes from the scene. The snap, crackle and his of circuits melting down and destroying themselves is the only warning that comes before the power lines that were being drawn on so heavily by the machinery in this room blow their circuits as a fail safe and the already dimly lit room is plunged into near total darkness. In the confusion the thugs don't hear the sound of the pod opening but they certainly notice the growl that eminates from that dirrection a moment later as well as the snapping of restraints. They fumble for their guns and open fire in the general dirrection of the pod. The ignition of each shot fired briefly lighting the area around them for a moment. It is only after their guns fall silent again that they realize by some primal sense that they are still not alone. One of them falls gurgling. As the emergency lights finally come on to reveal the smoking form of Dr. Wheaton crouched over the thug with his neck between his teeth. Blood gushes from the wound with every pulse of his dying heart. The second thug fires in disgust and fear not wanting to meet the golden eyes that look back at him with feral lust. Dr. Wheaton jumps aside and the thug realizes only too late his mistake as one of the bullets ricochette into a tank of an explosive agent used to help cool the process. The thug is blown backwards in the ensuing fireball, but Dr. Wheaton is blown in the opposite dirrection through a wall. Groggily Dr. Wheaton gets himself to his feet and grabs the first thing that looks like clothing as he struggles and stumbles down the corridor away from the blaze. Instinctively he seems to be able to hide himself from the searching guards and rescue teams as they rush to the scene.

Personal Log Entry:
After my escape everything went hazy again. I briefly remember encountering some gangers on my way back to the appartment. Hellions I think they were. I don't remember what happened, only that as soon as one of them came at me he was on the groung bleeding and the others were running away. I don't even remember entering the appartment after that. Just waking up in this uniform and being half blinded because of the bright lights in the house. Everything's been tones down for the moment since my eyes seem very sensative.

Personal Log Entry October 17, 2004 8:05am:
I've had to move out of my appartment and found another one under and assumed name. It's in Steel Canyon and from the sounds of things there are a lot of heroes in the same building. I think I may need a roommate soon, I guess I'll have to take an ad out in the paper. Meanwhile I need to find work as well. Maybe I'll try the Heroes of GameAmp, they look like a promising hero orginization to work for. I'll send in a formal letter in the morning, right now I have more important matters to attend to.

Personal Log Entry October 17, 2004 2:47pm:
With the aid of Dr. Genevieve Sanders, a personal friend and one of the few people I've been able to turn to since my "accident", I've been able to discover at least some of the changes that were brought on by the genetic recombination sequence back at Crey Labs. My metabolism has increased greatly granting me a practically tireless stamina and extreme healing factor. Aside from that my agility has increased a great deal as well, and the reason my vision has become so sensative is because I now quite litterally have the eyes of a wolf! Well, without the loss of color vision at least. It seems that all the traits I've gained stem from that found in the Canus Lupus genus. Including my teeth. I discovered that my k-9s have become elongated slightly to more resemble that of a wolfs. The rest of my teeth have undergone a less dramatic change to be more suited to a carnivorous diet than before as well. Genie suggests I wear these protective sunglasses until my eyes have adjusted comepletely to the change, but isn't sure how much time that will take. I've discovered a few more changes on my own as well. I seem to have the same ability wild animals exibit to blend into their surroundings and become nearly undetectable to sight, sound or smell. Speaking of smell, it's like a whole new world has opened to me, and it's not always a pretty one. I can litterally smell emotions, I assume because of different pheremones that are produced while these emotions are being felt but I can't be sure. Genie's pushing me to register as a hero. She's convinced I'll be able to do some good in the world. She's so sweet, I don't have the heart to tell her that I'm only like this because of my own foolishness to begin with. I don't know, maybe she's right.

Personal Log Entry October 19:
Well, Genie finally convinced me. I'm going to register at city hall later today, but first I need to finish with these claws. I decided to make them late last night, my inspiration came from the suit I stole from Crey to cover myself. It seems the suit itself is alive with nanites from the Rikti that have been reprogramed. They help repair the suit and also provide it with a kind of powersource for some form of armor. I've managed to reprogram the nanites to service my needs and have also used them in the construction of these claws which I've attached to the gloves. They were made of steel when I installed them but since the nanites have infested them the claws seem to be made of something else entirely. It's unlike any metal alloy I've seen before, but seems to be stronger than steel. I've also picked out a name for myself. Storm Wulf! With the way I can lay down a flurry of blows now the name seems kind of fitting. All in all though, I'm just glad Crey hasn't caught up to me yet. Oh, in other good news the Heroes of Game Amp have accepted my application and I begin working with them tomorrow.

(Oh yeah, I'll give a thousand influence to the first person who can PM me with the name of the comic book character I modeled this origin from.)

Re: History of the Heroes of GameAmp!

Ack! That's a lot to match up to. I might be able to come up with a paragraph or two...let me think on this a bit.

Rate other people's posts to give them feedback. I will frequently rate the first post of a new topic at least a 3, because that person is keeping the forums busy. I also will rate posts on how helpful they were to me, or how helpful I deem them to others. Please rate my posts to let me know if they have been useful to you.

Sheesh! Geeze guys you're starting to make me blush and feel all self concsious over here. Ok, so I'll admit it, I'm a writer. But it's not like I've been published or anything! Just ignore my post and write whatever comes to your heart and mind about your character.
