Origin Stories.

My character does have Summon that creates minions that are dogs. Specifically they are four of the Black Dogs of legend that are messengers or signs of death. They are not super smart, -1 Intelligence, but they hunt the guilty for my character.

I welcome your playing an intelligent super dog, could make for a fun dynamic, but didn't want to surprise you with other dogs on the scene.

His Story

Jean-Luc "Luke" Etoile is the son of the greek god Apollo and a french woman, Celine Etoile. She was a nurse at a local hospital. Eventually, she married a construction worker named Jacob Morrison and had a daughter together, Seraphine "Sera" Morrison. Even though they were six years apart, Luke and Sera were very close. Jacob began to treat Luke as his own son and does not know who Luke's real father is.

In 2013, there was a huge battle between 2 rival super villains, Storm Thrower and Vindictus. The fight was eventually stopped by the Defenders, with Vindictus ending up in the hospital. Storm Thrower showed up to finish the job and another catastrophic fight broke out. It's unsure who did it, but Celine was caught in the crossfire and did not survive the second battle.

Luke was overwhelmed with grief at the loss of his mother. He loved Jacob and even saw him as a father figure, but Jacob wasn't his father. Rage filled him at being helpless against a super. Wasn't his father some form of god? Why couldn't he have saved his mother? Why did she die and the two scumbags that caused her death live?

Luke worked for Jacob out of high school. At night, he started to chase down leads and information about Storm Thrower and Vindictus. He did this most nights until he was beaten severely and left to die on the shore. He stared at the setting sun, waiting to die. At that moment, all he could think of was how he would be leaving Sera. How would his death affect her? He didn't want the same thirst for vengeance to grow inside of her. His heart ached with the need to live. Sera needed him.

Please…father…if you can hear me, then please help me.

That was when his life changed. In that moment, the sun flared brighter and he heard his father's voice. I am here, my son. I wasn't able to save your mother, but I can save you. I can do more than save you. You are my son and it is time that you know what that means.

Power filled Luke's body. He felt like he was the sun. His whole body restored itself. He knew that he was stronger. He'd forgotten about his yearning just a moment ago and his rage and need for vengeance came rushing back. Leave me to die…I'll show you! Luke chased after the gang members and began to beat them senseless. It was brutal. When he was done, the reality of what he did dropped him to his knees. No one was dead, but they would be broken for a long time if not permanently. The blood on his fist and splatter on his face began to feel like acid in his mind as he stared at it. What have I done? What have I done?!

You're sister. You wanted to protect your sister. I gave you these gifts to protect. Not to destroy. I gave them. I can take them away. Do NOT bring war to my name. Leave that for my half-brother, Ares.

One moment of trouble led into another when he finally got home. Sera was weeping on the couch next to Mike Stoffel, Jacob's foreman. Jacob was replacing some units on a roof. He forgot his tools on the roof when the day was done and never clipped back into his safety gear. He fell through a skylight and didn't survive the fall. The reality of the amount of loss that Sera almost experienced in one night broke Luke's heart. His bitterness towards his absent father grew to immense gratitude. He would take the last words that Apollo said to heart.

For the next two years, Luke was Sera's guardian. He still worked with Jacob's company, now being run by Mike. Also, he spent a lot of time training to understand his new powers. Sera was the only one that he told. She encouraged him to create an alternate identity. Apollo helped. His new name would be Solar, a way to represent his gifts and honor his father's request.

He would take care of his sister. He would get justice for his mother, not vengeance. He would use his powers to get justice for others who could not get it for themselves.
