Do you really want to hear the horrible truth? Well…I don't really know what to say…I guess I'll start at the beginning…here goes.
I am…a freak of nature. I was born with powers; some I know that exist and others I have yet to discover. My powers include these: telekinesis, telepathy, strength (don't know if that'd count as one), and finally…having control over darkness and shadows. Cool, huh? Not so for me. I don't even know where I came from…
I was abandoned as a baby when I was just born, and I grew up and lived on the streets for almost my entire life…this is hard to tell…Jesus…anyway, well…I never knew who my parents were. Obviously they were disgusted at the powers I was born with…I'm sorry…I just get so…so emotional…who wouldn't cry if they never knew their parents? Screw them, anyhow…they're dirty scumbags filled with shit…
I was found just as I was about to starve to death in the depths of a dark alley. A young woman named Gadget, who is thirty right about now, found me and pitied me; cradling me in her arms, she took me into her home and kindly raised me. When I was six, she told me everything and I've known the entire story as long as I've lived.
Gadget, if I already didn't mention, is not just named so for the gadgets she invents and sells, she also is one herself. She's half human, half robot. Yes…a cyborg…they do in fact exist. There's actually a fair few around here. You'd be surprised at the number…I forget how many there are…
So…now you know the horrible and terrifying truth about me. Call me a freak, a weirdo…whatever…I don't give a damn about what you say…I'm too numb already…
After I grew up a bit, Gadget allowed me to wander the streets…for some unknown reason or another. I guess she just wanted me to witness and experience the world in which I had been born into and know it so I could be prepared someday for my own challenges. Very reasonable, actually…
Gadget taught me martial arts…a little extra self-defense doesn't hurt, you know. You name it, I know it. I may look a little scrawny, delicate, and weak, but don't underestimate my strength…I'm actually stronger than I seem…I'm also very fast…
When I was found by Gadget, there was only one thing that she ever discovered that was possibly left by my birth parents…a silver chain with a single silver ring around it with my name, Galen, on it. I love the name Galen…so strange, but I go by many others as well…
I currently live on the street, homeless and living as a hermit, alone and isolated. That's just the way I like it. No one to interfere with my thoughts and meditation…wonderful bliss…of course, I oftenly visit Gadget, though. She's always so pleased to see me…I love that. She's like the mom I never had…Jesus, now I'm getting mushy!
It's time to tell…farewell…
