==Background ==


They say that I am a villain. A monster dressed in the clothes of man. They say I turned my back on the light to lead a life of wickedness. They say a lot of things. The purpose of this diary is to record the truth. When statues are erected in my name I want people to know who I really am. I am a hero, a savior dressed in paupers garb. I turned away from the tainted mockery of "Hero worship" to find my own path through the brambles. I am a lot of things, more than any, I am your future...

My story begins many years ago. I was born to baseline human parents. The advents of my childhood are of no consequence as they had no hand in shaping who I was to become. I was left to wallow in the muck of humanity and ever would it have been had the Hunger not been awakened within me during puberty. The day my powers as a Chosen manifested shall forever be burned into my mind. The first taste of anothers life force became a narcotic. They tried in vain to control me, to enroll me in a human funded school for mutants. To contain my raw power they fed me a diet of lies and propaganda. Training me to be one of their cows, a beast of burden to do their bidding. Yet here I stand now, whip in hand ready to drive the herd of humanity to the charnel house. The poetry is not lost on me, and tonight I dine on steak.

((More to come))


== Mutant Abilities ==

':Adaptive Intellect

Aidens secondary mutation is known as adaptive intellect. He is able to learn at a hyper accelerated rate, process terabytes of information in mere seconds and instantly apply the knowledge practically. Essentially there is nothing his mind cannot grasp from advanced genetics to languages. It is theorized that with proper training he can learn new information as it becomes available to the masses. This also leaves him with an amazing sense of deductive reasoning bordering on precognition. He can follow patterns and lines of logic to their most likely conclusion.


:Darkforce Manipulation

Darque Cub has the ability to tap into and manipulate the extra-dimensional Darkforce in the form of a thick, viscous, tar-like substance. Opening a dimensional interface with his mind, he seemingly projects the Darkforce from his fingertips but he can open the interface anywhere within thirty feet of himself. He can control the flow of Darkforce from a thin spray of globules for a thick torrent of oozing slime. His darkforce manifestations are extremely adhesive: a sufficient quantity can immobilize beings of up to Class 100 strength.


He can shape the Darkforce into animated tendrils to ensnare his foes in a life draining grasp. The Darkforce generally behaves like quasi-solid liquid. People enveloped by the darkness feel numbing cold and crippling fear, sometimes seeing disturbing visions. Overlong exposure to the darkness can drive people insane. Unprotected victims trapped in this dark manfestation are gradually drained of their life force, and presumably die unless Darque releases them. By manipulating the life force stolen by the darkness, Aiden is able to redirect the energies to heal himself or other, even going so far as to ressurect the recently dead.


Darque’s body is a gateway to the Darkforce Dimension. He is linked to a pocket realm of that dimension dominated by the a being known as “Satiate”, which compels Darque to absorb the life forces of other beings. Since the dimensional Darkforce is virtually limitless, there is theoretically no limit to the amount which Darque Cub can draw to this dimension. Presumably mental fatigue will eventually affect how long he can hold the Darkforce interface open, eventually impairing his performance. When he is rendered unconscious the portal to the Darkforce dimension snaps shut and the Darkforce substance he has drawn from it quickly vanishes to its place of origin.


:Flight

Aiden can fly by generating a virtually invisible portal into the Darkforce dimension along the contours of his body without passing through it, then balancing the attractive force of the dimension against that of Earth’s gravity.


:Genetic enhancement

Aiden has performed numerous genetic modifications on himself in order to become the prime example of mutantkind. To this end he has granted himself wings, enhanced senses and the ability to read the auras of those around him. He is constantly looking for unique mutations to harvest and grant to himself. A side effect of this is the more he modifies himself the more...unnatural he becomes and the mor his Darkforce Hunger intensifies. He, however, doesn't seem to mind.


:Teleportation

Darque can "teleport" by entering the Darkforce dimension, moving a short distance within it and emerging back on Earth a great distance from his point of origin. A span of miles on Earth can be traversed in only a few steps via shortcuts through the Darkforce. Darque can "teleport" other persons or objects along with himself in this fashion, too, a feat usually reserved for Evolution or other such hardy beings since most beings cannot safely traverse the Darkforce, at the very least suffering severe nausea and disorientation. He also ues this ability offensively, to grasp his opponents and drag them unwillingly through the Darkforce. Hardly a pleasant ride.


:Temporal alignment

Aiden posseses limited time related abilities, mainly the ability to sense when factors greatly influence the timeline, such as the meeting of Evolution and Grandfather Death. He is also aware of divergences such as Ouroboros portals and timeshifted beings. Having been adrift in the time stream for Aeons has left his body flooded with chronoton particles and left him with clear memories of events both in the future and the past. He experiences the end of all things as well as the birth of creation. His likelyhood of discussing these events however is limited to a select few, namely Evolution.


A downside to this is that being essentially immortal and billions of years "old" he must constantly feed on the life energies of others to stay alive. It is estimated that he ages about a year for every day.


=Views on Mutantkind and Humanity =

Aiden is a staunch believer in mutant supremacy and the inferiority of humankind. In his grand vision mutants are the only form of life left in the galaxy save for the choice few humans used as breed mares due to their ability to pass on the mutant genome. To this end Aiden has joined Purgatio to help realize his dream. </font>
