I'm not that good at making up origin stories, so I figure I'd come here for help. These are the backbones to the stories I have for my chars (unfortunately, this is pretty much all I have):
Panabas (magic Katana/Dark Armor scrapper):
Named after his blade, the Panabas (a Filipino blade of execution) is a natural born bladesman. Recieved dark powers from an anting-anting (Filipino talisman) - family heirloom - that his deceased grandfather passed down to him.
Kudarat (technology Assault Rifle/Devices blaster):
A graduate of the University of Paragon City. Armor started as an A-grade senior design project. After college, went on to developing weapons. Became a hero. (Kudarat is named after a Filipino Sultan that united the Southern Sultanates against the Spanish invasion.)
Baras (natural Illusions/Force Field controller):
A Demon from Filipino mythology. Has the ability to make people see their nightmares while they're awake. (When he gets the pets, will add: 'and even pull them out of their unconsious mind into the real world.'). Def would like help in incorporating the FF aspect.
Pinatubo (mutant Invuln/Fiery tanker):
He was a Banaue Rice Terrace farmer. He noticed smoke coming out of the field. Went to investigate. Saw an amber glow. Got engulfed in smoke all of a sudden. Woke up in a volcano (Mount Pinatubo). Discovered he had amazing powers. Was mistaken for a god... def need help with the rest of this
Thanks for your suggestions.
(In case no one guessed, I am Filipino)
