Editing Sunflower (section)

== Background ==
Sunflower World Peace was born to human parents who belonged to a neoprimitive, hippy/New Age cult located on land in the backwaters of the Salish-Shidhe nation. This group was called Children of the Seventh World and believed that, contrary to mainstream belief, the Sixth World was a passing, transitive period that would soon end, ushering in the Seventh World, a prophesied utopian time where Earth and Heaven would merge. 

As the first metahuman born to the community, Sunflower's birth was hailed as an omen and he grew up isolated from the rest of the group's children, held back from the farming and crafts they learned. Instead he spent most of his time with the cult's prophet/leader Ezekial Scion, listening to his preaching and learning about the promised utopia that was often predicted to be soon, but that never materialized, while the rest of Sunflower's time was spent on meditation, trying to perfect his soul and body through "self-actualization". 

As he became an adult, the meditation and focus on his body paid off as he developed the powers of an adept. Having tired of waiting on a utopia that never came, Sunflower snuck away from the cult's compound one night and started living off the land. While he hadn't learned much from the cult, other than their dogma, a lot of the time he had spent with Ezekial was on trips out into the forests and he had picked up the art of surviving in the wild. 

Eventually he gravitated to the Barrens of Seattle and lived on the outskirts of civilization, doing odd jobs when he felt he needed money, and living off the land or the streets when he didn't. While he doesn't believe in the religion he was brought up in, he still lives an ascetic lifestyle, spurning money and luxuries and spending much of his free time meditating. When he earns money from jobs, he's as likely to give it away to others in need as to spend it on himself.
