"I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain..."

--The Police "King Of Pain"

It all started my first week at Craven Community College. I saw a really cute guy on campus who was pretty much my (physical) ideal (and oddly enough bared an uncanny resemblance to my old RP partner too. That's a tad creepy). I've only seen him twice sadly, and I'm seriously starting to wonder if I just sort of "dreamed him up" so to speak.

Hallucination or not, said cute guy inspired me to create, so I put pencil to paper and wound up reviving an old character I created back in seventh grade....I think it was during French class. God I hated that French teacher and oh I would have loved to have had the opportunity to slug her in the gut.

Okay...moving on now...

Preston here (no last name, I think he forgot it...or he feels that he just has no need for it) is a "Neo-Child/Neo-Kin", a human born with a "Sub-Gene" as a result of his late mother taking a "Prenatal vitamin" called "Felanerol" (Anyone who gets the reference to that name gets a cookie...as does anyone who can figure out what nerdy character from an 80's cartoon inspired this guy) while he was in-utero.

As a result of the Felanerol, Preston has the ability to absorb negative thoughts and emotions (i.e. Pain, anger, hate, jealousy, etc.) from others and turn it into concussive force. The problem is that he has little to no control over his abilities, and when overwhelmed by other's negative emotions, his powers instead come in destructive, sub-atomic bursts of energy, killing all within range and burning the surrounding area.

As a result of this lack of control (and nearly being drvien insane by the negative "voices" of other's), Preston has isolated himself from all sentient lifeforms, building himself is own little "Empire" (actually its a junkyard/wasteland) on the outskirts of the former Los Angeles (now known in my world as "Heaven's Gate") and trained himself to be a skilled mechanic as well as delving into cybernetics a bit. Since Heaven "was never there for him" and Hell "didn't want him", he normally extends his services to members of the Ordo Ab Chao when needed.

Arkadi De Infernali-Rofocale has theorized that, due to his tall lanky build, wild red hair, glasses, overall disheveled appearance, introversion, interest in tinkering with things/finding out how things work, seemingly asexual nature, and Project: BEO's apparent schoolboy-crush, Preston could very well be Hell-Earth's "Alexi Jiang", albeit very Irish...American.

Preston looks like he O.D'd on the Water Of Life, and I think that I may have gotten a little too carried away on his hair...but...Its so pretty! It's so pretty! Watch Dis! Pretty Pretty Dancin'!

You can see all this and more at LUNCH!
