How did Arrowcaster find you?
It wasn't that hard to guess that the kidnapped and injected with cockroach DNA Rick was the same person as the new roach themed hero.
BRIEF Bio –
When Rick was ten years old he was kidnapped by a mad scientist obsessed wanting to create an army of super humans. The experiments performed on him consisted of repeated injections of genetically altered cockroach DNA and exposure to nonlethal amounts of radiation. Luckily he and several other guinea pigs were saved three weeks later with Rick being the only one to show zero signs of any kind of mutation.
However during puberty Rick began to notice his powers slowly developing. At first he thought it was a coincidence but a quick check of both his abilities and weakness to cold made it very likely it was due to the cockroach DNA. About nine weeks ago his powers reached their current level and he eventually decided to become a superhero hoping that the fact he hadn't been in the news for over five years meant most people would have forgotten about the kidnapping incident.
How will your character be different one year later?
He will use the resources of the hideout and the connections he made as a superhero to further the experiments performed on him on his own terms using the DNA of several different insects, first gaining the ability to grow an exoskeleton at will further increasing his strength and making him tougher. A while later he will add roachlike wings and finally accelerated healing and the ability to regrow lost limbs.
Sample Post – (Arrowcaster recruiting your character)
Rick still couldn't believe someone had found out who he was after just one month. He had known it was likely but he had taken precautions, like only going after small time thugs and never operating closer than a forty minute run from where he lived, sure his super hero and theme were a big hint but still.
At least this Arrowcaster guy didn't seem like a villain and if his offer was true it was too good to pass up on.
"All right, a superhero team seems like a good idea and I clearly need more help than I thought."
