Okay, so, I have an idea for my character, but I wanted to make sure it doesn't clash too much with the established "canon", so to speak. A (not-so)brief rundown:
Name: Mack Benson
Handle: corkscrewHaymaker
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Native Class: Guard
Native Aspect: Rage
Current Class: Bane
Current Aspect: Rain
Current Session: Second
Interests: Pro Wrestling, MMA, basically anything to do with fighting
Fetch Modus: Suplex Modus (must physically suplex card to extract item)
Strife Specibus: Fistkind
Story Arc:
PRE-SBURB: Mack tends to have anger issues, starting around the onset of puberty. He can't (or won't) explain where his constant fury comes from, but it actually comes from his innate desire for perfection. It's completely irrational, and he admits that, but there's a part of him that can't help but continue to reach for perfection and subsequently berate himself when he inevitably falls short. He took to wrestling as a way to vent some of his anger, but it was only marginally effective. He's shunned by many of his peers, but he's fiercely loyal to those few who stayed by him, especially his girlfriend Mary. Sadly, his loyalty hasn't redeemed him in society's eyes, and he remains branded as a "problem child".
FIRST SESSION: Mack wanted to play SBURB with his girlfriend and two other friends for his girlfriend's eighteenth birthday. The inevitable happened, and soon they were in the game for real. As time went by, Mack learned to take his own self-loathing and use it to defend his friends. In this he was able to find some solace in imperfection, as he realized that his self-hatred was holding him back. It was only after he began to let this go that he started to unlock his true potential.
After about five months or so (or whatever the average session time is), they reached the end and killed the Black King, but victory had come at a high price. For the other boy in the session, the Bard of Doom, had become, not corrupted, but...compelled, you might say, perhaps by the Blight, to begin royally fucking shit up. This included making his entire land inhospitable thanks to an unusually strong [Judgement Day] BT, followed by (somehow) making his way to the land of the Muse of Time (who happened to be Mack's ecto-sister) before murdering her in cold blood. Mack and Mary were forced to kill him before he could wipe them out as well. After defeating the Black King alone, the two embraced, and entered the door together...only for Mack to wake up alone in his bedroom, shortly prior to the beginning of his second session.
SECOND SESSION: Having entered the game once more, this time as the Bane of Rain, Mack has devoted himself to finding Mary while retaining his grasp on his slowly eroding sanity. One of his sessionmates pointed him to the FAQ as well as the SBURB.org forums to see if he could find her there. Time will tell if he ever catches up with her again, or if he will snap before he finds her once more...
((Am I missing anything/screwing anything up? I personally feel like his backstory might need a bit of tweaking, but I'm definitely open to help and suggestions. Thank you in advance!))
