Backstory

Who were you before?

A regular fifteen going on sixteen year old who admired heroes but never thought he'd be one of them. And never thought that becoming one of them would cost so much. Johnny Boer did well enough in classes, though it was sometimes a struggle. He had vague plans to become a fighter pilot or something, especially if he never hit his growth spurt.

When did you change? What caused it?"

Around halfway between his fifteenth and sixteenth birthday, not long after school let out for the summer, something plunged into the parkette near Johnny's home. He rushed off to investigate it, hoping it might be a piece of a spaceship or some similar interesting sign of the more interesting side of life. Instead he found a ring of things like a toadstool. As he explored, the toadstools exploded and the spores got everywhere. At first he figured that he was just having an allergic reaction, but soon enough it was clear that there was something unearthly colonizing and transforming his body radically.

Why don’t you just try to hide yourself away?

Going through all of that and then not joining a super team? That's just absurd. Got to get something out of this.

Who, outside of the team, is helping you understand your new body?

Doctor Lillian Demeter, a top exomycologists (well one of the only exomycologists) conducted the initial examination of Seed's body and continues to run checkups and help understand what's going on from a scientific point of view.

Why do you care about the team?

Because being on a team is how to be a superhero and not some weirdo falling into their own weird symbiot driven obsession.


Relationships

Trigger comforted Seed when they were at their lowest.

Hellion knew Seed before they changed.

Influence

Trigger has Influence over Seed.

Melody has Influence over Seed.
