SHRAPNEL
aka REDEMPTION



~ Big Bata Boom ~

HISTORY - With parents who were leaders of a Thailand-based, multinational, super-powered crime syndicate, Virote Srisai natural went into the family business at an early age. Able to levitate at age 12, and explode and reform at age 15, his parents saw a valuable asset in their son. Their expectations to promote their own x-genes seemed well underway, and to further their plans, they betrothed their son to another young mutant in the syndicate.

Virote had a temper, and found the Registration Act, to put it lightly, distasteful. However, in an effort to prove he could think and act rationally, he traveled to America and willingly Registered. A bit of a scuffle at the office ended with him being sent to the camp with other 'dangerous' mutant. He wasn't their long, though, thanks to a late night escape with another mutant.

After a short reign of Revenge-fueled terror, Shrapnel visits a medium, and connects with one of his victims, which touches him much deeper than he expected. Now he is on the path to redemption, as his new name claims. It won't be easy, but he is determined, nonetheless.

POWERS - Shrapnel/Redemption is able to fly at the speed of sound by means of thermonuclear propulsion. By the same means he is also able to detonate his body, and then reform, though such an act takes time to charge and results in nonexistance for a short time. Very handy powers for the son of a power crime syndicate; not so much for someone looking to redeem himself.

POSTS TO SEE:

Origins of Shrapnel -- Just like every hero has his beginning, so every villain has theirs. So what about someone who had been both? Read on to find out.

Bringing Work Home (Rated R for Violence) -- Extended time in the Registration Camps makes for a grumpy Shrapnel. After a rather explosive escape, Shrapnel teams up Cyra and Jason to exact a little revenge on humanity, starting with several of the camp guards and their families. Innocence is an unknown thought.

Tranquil Fury -- Shrapnel has been enlightened, and now seeks to redeem himself for the pain and suffering he has caused. Who better to go to than a strange gypsy woman, who's first request is for you to undress on her front lawn? Remember, 'strange' is the key word here. No one said she didn't know what she was doing. Sporting a new haircut, a new set of snazzy tatoos, and a new take on life, Redemption leaves his old name and life behind.

Keep checking Redemption's profile to see his progression from evil to good. It's sure to be da bomb!
