Backstory
• When did you first learn of your doom?
It was probably always there, lurking but I started to use my powers again when Apollo began being aware of his and needed to be suppressed lest he invert the whole planet on itself, us included, before he could control them in this form.
• Where did you get your sanctuary?
My sanctuary was created in the storm that happened when we came, that created a "fold" in space at the park.
• Why do you oppose your nemesis?
She could have done whatever she wanted to the little cluster of rocks around Sol, but tricking and involving Apollo and myself in order to get her way? No way I can let that old dwarf get the best of me.
• Who, outside of the team, is crucial to defeating your nemesis?
Sol would be of help if he wasn’t so enamored with his little collection of pets circling around him.
• Why does the team matter to you?
They give Apollo purpose and in the long run, who knows, they might be able to help with the bigger issue of Rhamnusia. It’s kind of imperative their planet continues to exist you know?
Once you’ve finished your backstory, introduce your character to the other players, and then determine what happened when your team first came together, the relationships between you and your teammates, and who has Influence over you.
