The Official Guardian Server Toon Biography Thread
The Terrorizer, Katana/Dark Armor Scrapper, Level 50, leader of the Knights of Omega.
Back in 1984, in Crystal Lakes, NC, Trace Greyson was born unknowingly into a mystical legacy and inherited the powers of the Avatar of Terror. These powers manifested at a young age, and anytime Trace was around someone who was overcome with fear, Trace could sense it, prompting him to become a loner. At 16, he displayed the first uses of his powers when he overcame several bullies in school who sought to pick on the outcast Trace had become. After learning from a mystic known as Jared the JAde that he was the next Avatar of Terror at age 18, Trace began training his abilities to sense the fear in others and use it as a weapon against them. When Trace finally mastered his abilities with Jared's help, Jared rewarded the young hero-in-training with the soul Saber, a mystical blade passed down from teacher to student. Using the code-name "Terrorizer", Trace went out into the world and with his powers to sense and manipulate fear he became what criminals genuinely feared the most.
His first major battle was against a powerful alien villain known as Damion Xinje. Damion came from the planet Scanalixia with a small army of his personal soldiers to conquer his own world and use it to build a larger army. Terrorizer faced off against Damion and for a time, seemed to be more powerful thanks to the physical ehancements his powers granted him being the Avatar of Terror, but it wasn't until Damion summoned up the full potential of his own strength that forced the Terrorizer into his first loss. Damion, lacking fear in general, overwhelmed the young hero and injured him severely, almost ending his career a mere one year on the job.
Jared helped bring the Terrorizer back to full health, and then taught him the secrets of the Soul Saber, which Terrorizer had neglected to use in his first battle with Damion. In their second confrontation, Terrorizer unleashed the secrets of the blade and used his newly boosted powers to instill the first ounce of fear Damion had ever felt, ending with the Terrorizer winning the second battle and imprisoning Damion Xinje within the Soul Saber itself.
After the war with Damion, Jared left the Terrorizer with all he needed to become a true hero. When the first Rikti war erupted, the Terrorizer defendedhis home valiantly, but the city fell irregardless due to the sheer numbers the Rikti could produce. The Terrorizer lost his home to the war, barely surviving himself. The loss shattered his confidence and after taking an early retirement, he took up travelling.
He arrived in Paragon City to find it under siege from a large number of criminal organizations, one of which, the Circle of Thorns, would become his primary focus. Trace returned to his life as the Terrorizer and honed his powers over fear once more, quickly advancing to Security Level 50 and founding the Knights of Omega, his own Supergroup, with which to aid the city. Since then, he has had to deal with the escape of Damion Xinje thanks to the Arachnos Mu Mystics as well as several attempts by the Circle to lure him into their collective.
Recently, The Terrorizer entered his Knights into a coalition with fellow Supergroup the Dream Team, and together, they fight to defend Paragon from multiple threats across all zones.

A few of my favorite bios from toons I have on Guardian:
Count Gregor
When he awakened from a 300 year slumber, Knyaz Gregor Rostislavich found much had changed in the world. Humans had multiplied like rabbits to all corners of the globe; they had learned to cure dreadful diseases, they had mastered flight, and they had harnessed the power of the atom. It was this last accomplishment that most affected Rostislavich, for his ancestral home and resting place was near the Russian town of Chernobyl.
When he awakened, Rostislavich found that much had changed about himself as well. His vampiric body was no longer cold and pale, his skin had turned a handsome green and it now radiated warmth. He found too that his powers over darkness now included the power of the atom itself. Most surprisingly, he could now stand in direct sunlight without harm.
Rostislavich soon learned of a country called the United States and left for it immediately. When he made his presence known in Paragon City, he was dubbed "Count Gieger" by a clever young reporter, whom he later ate.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Valentine Black (A toon I made specifically to help heroes during the "Spring Fling" co-op missions.)
Most people assume that Valentina Blake's heart is as cold and dark as her skin, and 50 weeks of the year they are right. However, each February a change comes over her. Perhaps it is the spirit of St. Valentine, for whom she was named, or perhaps it is nature's impending emergence from the long sleep of winter, but for 14 days of the year Valentina Blake is able to wrest contol from the dark being who inhabits her soul.
During these two weeks, Valentine Black emerges from the shadows of the Rogue Isles to assist those who fight for justice and freedom. Each year Valentina is convinced that if she does sufficient good, she will remain in ascendance and become a hero herself, but every year she eventually, tragically, loses her fight and succumbs once more to darkness.

Mr. Piddles and Kelly
John Vincent found an abandoned litter of kittens behind the No. 2 reactor at Three Mile Island. On his way home from work he dropped three of them off at the SPCA but he kept the fourth one to give to his daughter Kelly on her 25th birthday. Kelly loved the little guy immediately. What no one knew was that this kitten was very special. He was a mutant blessed with genius-level human intelligence and vast mental powers.
Despite this, he had a hard time getting the hang of the litterbox, which lead to his unfortunate name. Still, he loved Kelly as much as she loved him. He loved her so much in fact that after she and her parents were killed on vacation in Paragon City when Babbage attacked the train they were on, Mr. Piddles used his mind powers to reanimate Kelly's corpse. Now they fight crime on the streets of Paragon City together!

Pittsburgh
Michael Kopco was born into a family of Pittsburgh steelworkers just as big steel was pulling out of Pittsburgh. But Mike was a smart kid and a good athlete, so he had no problem getting a football scholarship to Pitt. Mike graduated with a BS in mechanical engineering and was drafted in the 4th round by the Steelers. He played for the Steelers for three years, going to two Pro Bowls and Super Bowl XL, before tradgedy struck.
In September 2006, Mike's latent mutant powers manifested in a game against Paragon City, and he badly injured an opposing player. The NFL hid the true cause of the accident, but Mike knew he could never play football again. He scouted for the Steelers for a couple years before moving to Paragon City with his wife Mary Beth. He took the name "Pittsburgh" to honor his hometown. He can turn his body into solid steel, generate blast furnace-like temperatures, and he wields a mystical, indestructible sledgehammer given to him by a mysterious benefactor known only as "The Chief".

Johnny Gust - Lords of Corruption - Level 50 - Storm/Electric Blast Defender
Johnny was born as Johann Jaffe into a warrior tribe in Congo Africa. His tribe lived off of the coast of the Congo River. They hunted and farmed the produce they needed and lived happily alongside each other. That was until their village was attacked. Johann was just a child when it happened; 9 years old to be exact. Although he was extremely mature for his age he also had a very child like innocence about him. His mother deceased long before he could remember her, the women of the village helped his father raise him right.
The day that his village was attacked was the day that Johann's life changed forever. They came in the dawn. The sun had not yet arisen. With bows and arrows, spears and torches they attacked the slumbering village. Screams of death sent out warning into the village which had quickly became aware of the plight ascended upon them. The village became alive as fires danced, women screamed, and men took up arms against their assailants.
Johann knew that he needed to run and get to the boats, so he did. He took off toward the river which they resided beside, turning back only to catch a glimpse of his father engaged in battle with one of the invaders. Stopping just short of the boat and looking on toward the battle field that was taking place he watched three guys gang up and stab his father. Johann felt something he had never felt before. An anger, a rage, a state of upset took over his very core and as the sun rose up over the horizon the sky blackened and a dark cloud began to cover the sky. Johann ran to his father side and cried over his limp body. He looked up and was met by the three men who cut his father down and in his want, in his need, for them to pay he lashed out. Still unaware of the power he contained the weather began to twist around him. Rain, lightning, ice and winds began to form almost immediately. Bolts of electricity began to strike the assailants knocking them unconscious instantaneously. Tears still failing from his eyes a wind formed around Johann throwing everything and everyone from around him as he continued his unarmed and unconscious assault.
Johann finally realizing that he was still alive finally looked up wiping his eyes and seeing the winds dying, sky clearing and village collapsed around him. Looking down at his hands he seen them spark with visible static. Flinching with the realization that he caused all of this damage to his village he stood up, tears falling all over again and began to run. He ran fast and he ran far making his way to a harbor on the Atlantic Coast of Congo. Wanting only to get away he stowed onto a cargo ship headed to place he would learn only once he got there.
Johann emerged from the cargo ship into a new land. He heard some of the people call it the Mercy Island. He didn't know where he was but he knew that he was not in Africa anymore.
He made his way around for a while. Sleepy in alleys, stealing food from bakeries, and even sleeping inside peoples cars on those dark rainy nights. he lived this way for about 3 months slowly learning English and becoming ever so crafty and exponentially street savvy. At this point Johann had still not come to realization of the power he possessed or the enemies he had made just by living on the street.
One evening Johann began scrounging for food in an alley out behind one of his favorite restaurants. As he began digging into a dumpster he heard something that caught his attention. Behind him he could here metal scrapping metal and what sound like, what can only be described as, fingernails being run across a chalkboard. He froze and jumped from the trashcan slowly turning around to see what made the noise.
"Oh, so you think you can steal food from out dumpster?" said the first guy covered in tattoos and metal piercings.
"Are you enjoying your meal?" asked another guy who pointed at Johann not with hands but metal piercers.
"..." Johann looked up at the guys in fear.
Not wanting to get beat up by these... these... freaks Johann took off out of the alley and down the street as fast as he feet could take him. Too bad for him the freaky guys with the metal piercings were in hot pursuit trying to take out the guy eating their meal. One of the freaks began to fly after Johann quickly closing the gap between the two. Johann quickly ran into an alley and to his dismay it was closed off into a dead end. Frightened and standing against a wall with two people chasing him he thought to himself that this was the end. As the freaks turned the corner and walk up to Johann they spoke.
"Shouldn't have run from us little boy." said the guy with only the piercings.
"Yeah! Now we have to teach you some manners." said the freak with the pincers on his hands.
He revved back his arm and launched a diskette right towards Johann. Thinking that this was the end he closed his eyes and cowered in fear. As the disc approached he expected death to come swift and painless. But... it didn't happen. Time crawled to a snails pace and as Johann opened his eyes he noticed something very strange to him. The diskette was encased in a solid block of ice one foot in front of him. He looked at the freaks and they even looked shocked.
"What the... ?!?" they both asked in utter amazement.
Johann began to tremble as he thought what had happened to his village was happening yet again. But he soon realizes the truth.
"Now why are you picking on this poor kid?" came the voice of a cloaked woman standing behind the freaks. "I mean there are countless people for you to harass and you pick this little runt."
"Who... Who are you?" the freaks asked in near unison.
"Oh silly of me." she spoke before dropping her coat, "I'm War-Witch and I'm here to kick your butts!"

The Hypernaut, Level 50 Force Field/Energy Blast Defender
In the distant future exists a time where heros and villains no longer exist, peace has settled across the planet, and a single world government, headed by the Core (10 Individuals elected by the World), run the planet. Space travel is to them as cars are to us, and energy is abundant after the discovery of new clean energies among other planets. In order to travel to help humanity traverse the infinite universe and survive the rigors of deep space travel, scientists created the Mechatech Droids, robots with a high level of artificial intelligence programmed to protect and serve humankind. This is where our hero's story truly begins.
The planet was organizing a new type of space travel through the use of true "Hyperspace", a newly discovered sub dimension of normal space where everything moved at 100 times it's normal speed. Becuase of these speeds, a new robot had to be manufactured with the ability to think, learn and adapt faster than anything before, thus the Prototype ZX Mega V1, otherwise known as the "Hypernaut". Hypernaut's computer systems were the most advanced ever, combining technology from many different races, a true piece of artwork among the robotics community. It's positronic brain was so far advanced that within hours, the Hypernaut began adapting to realistic emotions, so much that he even displayed fear in taking the first journey through Hyperspace. With his fear, however, came great courage, and the robot took the mission with his head held high.
The launch day was perfect. Weather was beautiful, wind was calm, and all computer systems were nominal. Hypernaut took the helm of the S.S. Ranger along with it's human crew. The Ship launched and shortly after, entered hyperspace. Hypernaut was confident that the ship could handle the calculated forces that would attempt to mangle it, but as he entered, his fast acting positronic brain immediately detected anomalies scientists had not forseen. Hyperstorms rocked the small ship hard, instantly damaging it's nav controls, and Hypernaut did everything it could to stabilize the ship manually. The crew was scared beyond stiff as they panicked and held on for dear life.
With no other choice, Hypernaut cancelled the mission and attempted to drop out of Hyperspace, but the ship was being pulled back in unwillingly by the anomalies. Acting fast, Hypernaut ordered his human crew to their escape pods, and once everyone was in, he managed to drop out of Hyperspace long enough to launch them to safety, sacrificing himself as the storm violently pulled the ship back into hyperspace and seemingly destroyed it in a violent explosion. What happened next was nothing short of a miracle.
Hypernaut awoke several hundred years in the past, his internal sensors even confirmed it, as they too had rolled back to the current date of November 1st, 2008. Hypernaut saw his ship mangled and destroyed, but luckily, his own body had not suffered any major damage. Realizing what the date was, Hypernaut remembered that this was the day of a major Rikti Mothership Raid in Paragon City, the city known for it's long history of combatting evil. Hypernaut knew that the raid would be going poorly that night, thanks to the Earth's entire history being uploadded into his memory banks, and if not for a mysterious new hero showing up, many regular raiders would have perished at the hands of a new Rikti Weapon. Hypernaut quickly deduced he was that new hero, realizing his unique force fields would be nearly immune to their effects and he could offer the protection the raiders would need.
Using his own built in flight system, Hypernaut travelled at sonic speeds to aid the Raiders, led by the infamous Dream Team. As the Rikti fired their new wepaon, Hypernaut came crashing down with his Force Bubble at full power and Force Fields being thrown on as many as he could get, protecting anything else within his own Dispersion bubble. The rikti weapon ricocheted off his force fields, bouncing back and taking out a Rikti Heavy. Hypernaut himself began assaulting a MAgus that had appeared inside his force field, single handedly defeating it, something many found a difficult task.
After the raid, the Hypernaut introduced himself and told his story. He was offered a role within the Dream Team as their official Force Field Defender of the Rikti Raid, and thus found a new family in this strange past which somehow would shape his ultimate destiny.
Electron's Fury [science/elec/electric manipulation blaster]
The hero who became known as Electron's Fury started her new life by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. She and her parents were attending a high school basketball game when the Clockwork initiated a raid for spare parts. During the initial phase as power was cut the lights went out and she was separated from her parents. As they tried to find each other in the dark chaos she stepped in water from broken pipes, as well as, exposed wiring when the power came back on electrocuting the young 15yr old girl. Frantic to save her both parents were also electrocuted as first her mother grabbed the girl and then the father tried to save both his daughter and wife.
The EMTs were 'shocked' [sorry for bad pun] to discover that the burned girl was still alive; although, her parents were dead. Sadly, all three were burned beyond recognition and all id was apparently destroyed. With the many lives lost during the raid it was impossible to identify the girl. Artists drawings did the girl no justice and neighbors who might have recognized the girl's red hair drew blanks from the black and white drawing published: assuming that the family moved away as many did after the raid.
After a year she eventually regained consciousness as her body and skin regenerated. The hospital officials recognized a 'meta-event' occuring in the young girl's body and had contacted Crey BioTech for aid in caring for the girl. Crey was more then happy to provide assistance: first monitoring the girl and then moving her to a special facility as the body began generating mild electrical current.
Waking from the year long 'gestation' with no memories and strapped naked to an examination table the young girl panicked discharging the natural electricity in her body burning out all the instrumentation. Crey's scientist were esctatic. Here was a perfect opportunity to create a new type of their Paragon Protectors for the Revenant Hero Project. Unfortunately, they failed to recognized the difference between a young girl with no memories and a mindless clone.
The girl's horror grew as during an examination they discussed the pending vivisection and then cloning of a new product. Drawing power from the building's grid and then releasing most of it freed the girl and disengaged all security locks in the building. She fled naked thru the streets pursued by Crey Agents and Protectors until she was rescued by Silhouette's Shadow and taken to the nearby Headquarters of Heroes Unlimited for safety. Silhouette went back into the night's blackout [for the girl had drained not only Crey's power grid but most of the city's power as well] to lay false leads and mess with the Crey minions.
Eventually the girl took on the name Electron's Fury, Fury to her friends, and became an active member of Heroes Unlimited protecting Paragon City.

BLOOD TEARS
Preface...
Christian Tyler, known to the world as the legendary Emerald Gladiator, was one of the most respected and revered heroes of the 20th century. The only thing he valued more than the lives of the innocent people he protected daily was the life of his only son, Justin. Marie Carter-Tyler had died giving birth to Justin, and her one wish to Christian was for him to guide their son throughout his life to become as great and respected as he was.
Christian took his wifes words to heart and set out to instill in Justin the same values and ideals he made a life of defending as the Emerald Gladiator. He would also teach Justin the skills and discipline that made the Emerald Gladiator a feared opponent both in swordplay and hand-to-hand combat. Justin was a natural at learning his fathers trade and by the age of 16 it seemed he would be poised to join his father in the never-ending battle for justice. That is, until the unthinkable happened; the Emerald Gladiator, on a mission to help protect Montreal during a Trilune invasion, was mortally wounded.
The orphaned Justin would be adopted by his uncle Daniel (a respected lawyer of the Crown) who would teach him that his mind could be as effective a tool to fight injustice as his muscle. Justin, harboring new contempt for his fathers way of life, embraced his uncles philosophy. He would devote his time to studies and by the age of 25 would successfully complete the Bar exam. Two months later he would marry Sandra (a fellow law student he met and fell in love with at first sight) and barely a year later their daughter, Briana, was born. Working as a prosecutor in Montreal, Justin (as devoted to justice as his father was) made his living placing criminals behind bars. The Tyler family however, would suffer more tragedy before long
One year ago (Enter Blood Tears)
At 33 years old, Justin Tyler had it all; a successful career, a beautiful loving wife, and his reason for living Briana, his baby daughter. One fateful night however, Justins life would take a tragic turn. The familys peaceful slumber was interrupted buy a group of thugs that called themselves the Posse. Justin was taken by surprise by a chloroform gag and when he came to, he found he had been blind-folded and bound. He could hear his wife Sandra screaming in pain and calling out his name for help but he could not get free.
After what seemed to Justin like an eternity, Sandras screams suddenly stopped. Then he heard one of the assailants say, She is coming with us! and Brianas crying faded away along with the rushed footsteps of the thugs.
When the police finally arrived Justins blindfold was removed, revealing to him an image that would remain etched in his mind forever his wifes lifeless body, naked and battered on the bed, blood streaming down her face like tears.
Justin did not know why his life was spared that day, but one thing he did know
he would avenge his wife and find his daughter or he would die trying.
Today, wielding his fathers Khopesh, Justin Tyler prowls the streets of Montreal as the vigilante Blood Tears, dispensing brutal justice in his search.
You have the right to a fair trial
unless I get to you first! Blood Tears
CockARoach:
Who thought that a simple Periplaneta Americana could be such trouble?

how could i not name a toon after her namesake; although i was notified that lilith the destroyer of couches or lily the destroyer of couches were invalid names for some reason.
note lily will be two in 4 days [may 18th] weighing in at a measly 56lbs and cujo the stray i found in march [will be a year old on august 14th] weighs 81lbs as of this week [minus a few naughty bits since he was neutered].
ps Cujo the Stray a dark melee/willpower brute is prowling mercy island at present. the result of experiments by a demented vet on a poor stray dog: cujo broke the chains securing him to his kennel. cujo now knows no master and thirsts. finally made a red side toon that i might keep around this time.

Shocking Charybdis- Lvl 50 Elec/Mental/Flame Blaster
While most of the other members of The Charybdis Clan have some wonderful and exciting story for their transformation into superheroes, Karen Clark has nothing like that. Instead, the childhood friend of Incredible and Smashing one day decided to see what would happen if she stuck a fork in an electrical socket. Thus was born her electrical prowess. And, in what has been a wonder of science, she proved once and for all mind over matter; she believed in the Psychic Friends Network so much, she was able to convince her mind to establish a psychic center, thus creating her mental manipulation controls. Finally, her late forming Fire abilities came from repressed memories of playing with fire; repressed because she wet the bed due to playing with fire and nearly electrocuted herself and her cat, Fluffy.
Not very bright, no.
Incredible Charybdis, Founder, Charybdis Clan, 50 Stone/DB Tanker:
Once Major Dan Griffin of the U.S.A.F., while on leave one week he ran into the Circle of Thorns. They abducted him and attempted their transformation ceremony on him until Statesman came to his rescue. Before he was completely free of the spell, one of the Mages cast a spell of revenge on him, causing him to be turned to stone. The USAF refused to take him back into their fold, citing a no-hero clause. Unable to return to his posting, he resigned his commission and turned to the life of a hero. Calling himself the Incredible Charybdis, he is indeed the Rock and a Hard Place.

Pointy Stick Guy, aka PSG, [technology/archer/electric manipulation blaster]
Jonathon Archer was an Olympic Athlete permanently crippled when the team van overturned in an auto accident. Testing by Longbow showed that he would be the perfect test subject for a new powersuit and created a cliche hero.
The suit provides a replacement signal for his injured spine allowing him to walk. It's bolognium covering provides significant protection from superpowered attacks. The suit is capable of absorbing and holding 1 million volts in it's capacitors. PSG can vary the ampage to determine the damage or affect of the suit's powers.
PSG also wears a targeting reticle linked to his bow's laser sight to improve his already impressive accuracy. Longbow provided a variety of offensive arrowheads to allow PSG to be ready for most situations.
Although he no longer associates with Longbow due to friction with his handlers and Longbow's PR department; his friendship with many in the organization provides him with repairs and rearmament as needed. In return, he doesn't object to the PR departments exaggerated claims of his actions and the suit's effectiveness.

Dreamboat Annie [magic/illusion/kinetics troller]:
L'il annie was a sickly child living in a rural setting. When she was 12 she contracted Encephalitis from ticks in the field she would play in. Rushed to Paragon City for medical care the small child slipped into a coma.
6 months after the comatose child was admitted to the hospital: a new hero appeared in Atlas Park possessing powers to alter reality. Noone knows the lonely child with her head in the clouds is the dreamself of the comatose little girl.

One of the best things in the game, for me, is the ability to write a chracter bio for the multiple toons you can create for CoX. The one downside, however, is that the Bio space is quite limited for those of us with an over active imagination. Some people have even made entire websites dedicated to their inventory of toons.
This thread is dedicated to those of us who want to completely explore the history and making behind our toons, while at the same time providing a way of allowing questions to be asked regarding our toons, for example, "What was (Insert Hero/Villain Name)'s primary reasons for becoming what he/she is?" or "What was your inspiration for making that toon?" as well as many others. I will start off the thread with a post of my namesake's bio, The Terrorizer.
