== Background ==
Val comes from a well high class family who had joined Unitology at the command of his father who wanted to keep his family’s appearance and retain their high status as it seemed most aristocrats are joining the cult. Val was born with the rare gift of telekinesis as well as a genius level intellect. Due to this and being the first born of the family, Val was placed to take tutors along with his place in an academy. As a child he lived until a strict rule under his father, his only friend at the time was a boy he met one day after sneaking out to see how his butterflies are doing. The two became the best of friends. Val quickly picked up how his parents were in a loveless marriage but what really made it difficult was seeing his mother, the parent who showed true love and happiness for him suffer due to his father’s actions and beliefs. The highlight of his accomplishment was using his intelligence in the assistance of making plants that produce food that can grow anywhere, be healthy, and taste better, which won him an agricultural award in process. He even took part in a scientific study for scientists to study his telekinesis lead to the development of the Kinetic module. Just as he had begun to reach his 15th birthday, Val became contracted with a disease that would end his life. When the doctors both Unitologist and not couldn’t find a way to cure their son, the father disowned and renounced him as his heir, seeing Valiance as useless to him, and made sure to make his younger brother the heir. Since then Valiance hated his family, seeing them as hypocrites. While he took all the drugs needed to keep his body going he lived alone in his dorm room, using what access he could to try and concoct a formulate that will not only cure him but also make him immortal. He kept in contact with Chris as much as he could, but eventually his body became too weak and he was visited by his mother who revealed that she did everything she could to save her son. It wasn’t easy as his father took over most of the assets. She was able to ask for a favor and a hospital agreed to keep her son in cryo-sleep until a cure could be found, before he accepts his mother asked him to forgive her, to which he did.
Val remained that way for some years until he was awakened by a younger man named “Adam” who found him and asked if he wished to live, to evolve and to infuriate the ones who wants to see him dead. Val accepted and went through the Warrior procedure which not only cured him of his disease but also increased his telekinesis greatly. As he spend years into the W-Organization, Angelo completed his missions, usually preferring to do the missions either alone or with his best friend Angelo. His new goal, now cured was to become a hero like Adam to be acknowledged for his existence, even though Adam said that if Genus was worthy of it, the title is his. Years before leaving on the mission to find the Prometheus, Genus paid a visit to his mother to tell her about his mission and support her through the years it takes for them to be apart, only to find that his mother is suffering from overwhelming stress and injury caused by his father. In a fit of rage, killed everyone who was affiliated with his father and only spared those who were still loyal to the true Grey line. Once he was done with his vengeance, Genus burned his home down and returned to Warrior HQ. He didn’t know or cared but he placed his mother in a hospital that owed him for keeping safe one mission. Just before they left on their mission the three strongest Spartans went to have a little spar between themselves, not only to keep their skills sharp but also to have fun (Genus agreed to keep his mind off of what happened to his mother and what he did to his father). During which Genus had gotten a small injury. He went to get himself fixed up, but found that the energy of his attack plus being nicked by the weapon that caused his injury started his devolution, which made Genus feel as though he was sick all over again. That made him distant from the others as he ensured that he would be able to join them on the mission. As soon as he awoken and found that the Warriors with him and his friends were on the Ishimura instead of the Falcon, he quickly surmised that it was someone tampered with the transfer orders. When the unexpected deaths and homicides begun, Genus begun to investigate alone, feeling that it was a hero's duty to not endanger others by bringing them with him, however he heard a voice that sounded like his father, even though he knows full well that he killed the man himself. He kept hearing and tring to ignore the hallucinations though as he continued, signs of his Devolution became aparent, especially after meeting Isaac’s group, where he began to see his murdered father.
== Personality ==
Genus, at the beginning lived a good, but difficult life due to his father’s cruel actions. Under the tutelage he was under, Genus became selfish and cared for himself. This side of him was suppressed due to his kind mother and his best friend Angelo. After becoming afflicted, he was a self-described wallflower at his academy, and the perceived neglection from his peers and his abandonment by most of his family which made him hate fostered a hatred within him for other people. He even became disillusioned with the Unitology cult. He was so much removed from the rest of society that his own father thought him to be dead or as good as trash. This hatred seemed to die down after he becomes a WARRIOR but still noted that he has nothing but bad memories from his old life and home and considered burning it down. Originally he had a huge desire for immortality that stemmed from his affliction by a mysterious disease that weakens his body drastically. But it was stalled after being able to become a Warrior.
Genus can be eccentric and often expresses his love of elegance, referencing his attire as a example of such elegance, while some disagree with this claim. After becoming a Warrior Genus gains a strong desire for attention, very much the opposite of his human identity, which was very reclusive. His fighting style favors technique over brute force as most Warriors favor. He harbored a strong desire to become a hero as to be noticed and loved, and is the person who mostly call out others on being a hypocrite. He refuses to let anyone other than Angelo or Adam say his real name, because Angelo and Adam were the only ones to ever call him by it and truly acknowledge him. After having his mother being placed in critical condition, Genus grew to into a blinding rage that made him use both his strength and telekinesis to kill all those who betrayed his mother. When getting nicked and then become afflicted by Devolution Genus’ eccentric personality went from somewhat eccentric to highly eccentric and believes the only way to purify the universe with hypocritic species and wipe away the bad experience of his humanity is by wiping the slate clean and beginning again with him as god as well as find a means to reverse his Devolution.
