Beast Boy's background
Long ago, in a galaxy next to our own, there was a planet of green men. These green people had mysterious powers, some different than others; every so often a new power would emerge, different than all the others. One such occasion was the case of a small boy who became known as Beast Boy.
Chapter 1: Birth
"Oh, K'lrk, he's beautiful!" The proud mother of a new baby boy gleamed up at her husband.
"Yes, M'l'arr, he's perfect." He smiled back, stroking the boy's tuft of soft green hair.
"What shall we call him?"
K'lrk thought it over for a moment, then responded, "K'lrk, Jr. of course!"
"No, I want him to be unique." She looked offended, as if this idea was an insult to her. She studied her son, taking note of his sparkling eyes. "Why not...Sh'par?"
"Sh'par? Doesn't that mean 'eyes that glow'?" The man was puzzled.
"Yes, it does. Look at his eyes, K'lrk. They are perfect green jewels." She handed up the bundle to him, and he agreed with her.
"Alright, it's settled. Sh'par it is." He cherished his new gift.
Days later, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ma'rocgk...
"Where is he?!" M'l'arr searched frantically for her newborn baby, using her x-ray vision and heat-sensitive hands. "Sh'par? Oh, where is my darling baby?"
Just then, K'lrk returned home from work, and, seeing his wife in the condition she was in, rushed to her side. "What is it, wife?"
"Sh'par. He's missing!" She was crying, and her cheeks shined.
"Oh no, we have to find him!" K'lrk tried to telepathically locate the boy, but only found a native animal, in the living room.
M'l'arr threw herself against him, crying out in horror. "He's gone! We're never going to find him!"
"No, hold on." He tried to comfort her while making his way to the other room. "This animal, it's not supposed to be green." K'lrk studied the small Lip'skrt. Suddenly it changed to a R'io'rt, the winged fowl of their world.
M'l'arr screamed in terror then watched the creature cry out. "What is that thing, K'lrk?"
"I'm not sure. A R'io'rt is purple, and a Lip'skrt is white!" He scratched his head in confusion. "I just don't get it." His eyes grew large as the animal changed shape once more, this time becoming their son. The boy cried out again, reaching for his disgusted parents.
"No! That can't be my boy! It can't be him!" M'l'arr cried, tears flowing once more.
"It is, wife. This is our son." K'lrk looked closer at him. "See his eyes? They shine like a green sun."
She stopped, following suit as her husband. Nodding, she slowly picked up the crying baby, embracing him in her arms.
"Don't you see, M'l'arr? It's his power. He changes shape to be animals!"
M'l'arr searched his deep green eyes for deceit, but found none. His husband truly believed this was the case. "Well, I suppose he does." She chuckled, playing with her offspring's hair.
