You remember the moment when your arm became part
of the darkness. You don’t understand what happened,
but you clearly remember a shadowy person grabbing
your arm, and the darkness that spread from that touch.
You lost much when you turned into an Overed: a

peaceful life; a body that you are always in control of;
friends that you can tell your deepest secrets. All of it was
taken away by the Renegade.
Prestigious scientists are fascinated by the revolutionary

ability to steal the powers of others. They laud your new
found abilities, but all you have to say in return are a few

But you haven’t quite given up. If your black arm can
steal things, then it can also take things back. You will
get back what you lost. Every last bit, with no exception.

You were always good at mimicking ever since you
were young. You just needed to see one practice
run and you could perfectly replicate even the most
complicated of jobs and techniques.
Eventually, you realized how unusual your talent

was and how it affected your Renegade strain. You
started copying the powers of other Overeds. It
came naturally, as if you’ve always done it.
People around you were left utterly speechless,

while you felt yourself get excited for the first time
in a long while, if only slightly so. You wanted to
mimic more powers, to copy what was inside
people’s hearts. So you head out on your missions,
looking forward to that little joy you found.

You’ve never considered your powers to be
special. You do have the Ouroboros Syndrome,
but your powers are so...plain. The people un-
der your command are more superhuman than
you’ll ever be.
But you feel that this plainness is what makes

your powers exciting. There is a sense of ac-
complishment to be had when you overcome
immense obstacles with your simple and
“weak” powers.
Today is another day on the job, and your la-

dybug partner is sitting on your fingernail. For
now, only you know that your little partner is
the ace up your sleeve.

Your friend first appeared a few months
ago during a battle with the UGN. You
slipped up and were being chased by their
elite agents. Just as you were about to
die, a ball of fire came out from your chest
and blew your enemies away. Confused
by what happened, you returned to False
Hearts and learned that what you saw was
an Avatar, a manifestation of your powers.
Since that day, your Avatar has fought

along side you. It burns as hot as your
rage, incinerating your enemies and giving
you pure satisfaction.
You sometimes wonder if the real you is

actually a ball of fire and that your body is a
prison. But in the end, you do not care what
the real you is. All you want is a good fight.

The world around you is bustling. You open
your eyes and you see these little people,
these “Overeds.” They’re fighting, playing,
and doing all these little things.
On a whim, you take a human form and

sneak into their world. Every Overed you
met was unique, and before you knew it you
became obsessed with them.
You especially like to touch shadows. To

you they are like souls, a window into their
minds. Some are weak, some are glorious,
but all are utterly fascinating.
Since your first contact, you have switched

to a body that garners more good will. You
continue your journey in the world, anx-
iously waiting for the next human
story to unfold.
