History

Where do you come from?

Chicago, Illinois.

Have you made any major moves, or do you live in your hometown?

Moving from Chicago to Freedom City counts.

Do you feel loyal to your country of citizenship? Do you consider yourself patriotic? How do you feel about the government of your country?

Yes. Yes. And honestly, politicians are all crooks but it is a better system than most of the world.

How do you feel about the place you come from?

Chicago's a nice place but it really can't compete with Freedom.

Where is your home town? What was/is it like?

Chicago. Windy, cold in winter, baking in summer.

Growing up, were most of the people you knew similar to you, or were you somehow a minority? How did that affect you?

Not really, my neighborhood had a lot of Russian immigrants. Because of this, I spent a lot of time actively speaking Russian as well as English everyday.

Is there something you've always been really good at or really bad at? How has that affected your life?

I've always been pretty decent at drawing and had an interest in writing so while in school I've been looking forward to the art and creative writing classes.

Were there any traumatic experiences in your early years (death of a family member, abandonment, orphaned at an early age)?

Nothing worse than normal.

Briefly describe a defining moment in your childhood and how it influenced your life.

When I was nine, I saw my a local spider-themed hero, Aracnolad, broke up a bank robbery I was held hostage in. Left the thugs stuck to the walls, upside down, with webs he shot from his hands.

What stupid things did you do when you were younger?

Well, when I was fourteen I tried smoking. ...Not my smartest choice.

Where did you go to school? How much school did you have, and did you enjoy it?

My previous school was Prospect Hieghts Highschool, home of the Chicago Spartans. Good school, though the rich popular kids are a little more favored by the administration.

Do you have any mementos of your childhood? What are they, and why did you keep them? If you have none, why not?

I kept the softball from the game where I broke my arm, as well as the copy of The Hobbit my father bought for me. Both have a lot of memories attached to them.

When did you decide to become a hero? Why? Did anyone influence you one way or another in the decision?

When I was fifteen, not long after I got my powers. Because I couldn't stand seeing people in the position I had been in most of my school-life, unable to defend myself when harassed. Right now, my parents don't know I'm wearing a mask and beating up criminals, they just think I'm going to Claremont to better control my powers.

Is the reason you give people for becoming a hero different than your real reason? If so, why?

No.

Do you have any deep, dark secrets in the past that may come back to haunt you?

Nope.

Just when trying to keep my secret identity just that, secret.

If you do have these secrets, what do you fear would happen if the truth became known? How far would you go to protect those secrets?

I'm not sure how far I'd go to keep my ID secret. I hope I never have to find out.
