Kayden Raven, a young man of twenty, was forged in the fires of a brutal life.
In his infancy,
his father abruptly abandoned them after marrying another, leaving his mother to bear the crushing weight of an entire household—him and his sister—alone. Their existence was a chronicle of poverty and deprivation. Yet, his mother was everything to him: the nurturing parent, the absent father, the unwavering pillar of support.
Kayden grew up with an ingrained distrust of people, perpetually feeling the world was aligned against him. He felt that even those closest to him offered no aid; rather, they were often the source of his deepest wounds.
But as time marched on, his calamities escalated. His sister vanished under mysterious circumstances, and shortly thereafter, his mother succumbed to the shock and passed away.
It was then that something shattered within him... yet simultaneously, something was born.
He began to feel strange alterations in his body; emotions of rage and sorrow were quite literally erupting inside his core. His superpower emerged for the first time: a black beam radiating from his hand... a force yet to be understood, but undeniably born from the abyss of his pain.
Kayden's power evolves with every crisis. The greater the danger, the more profound the metamorphosis within him.
He himself does not yet comprehend...
Is this a blessing?
Or a curse?
