== The Story of Connor "CT" Tomlinson ==
=== Origins: ===
* CT was the first Tenno from the Origin system to be experimented on by Ballas to properly test the means of transference and dimensional travel. Like all Tenno he was found aboard an abandoned Zarimon Ten-Zero, a Orokin Frontier ship capable of powerful and horrific abilities of the void.
* CT was the youngest of three siblings; Victor (Oldest), and Natália Tomlinson. Each of the Siblings harbored unique properties with the void which Ballas found interested in experimenting on them with
* When CT's frame was first created as a prototype of future Warframes. He was sent to a different Dimension to test his powers on a unknowing version of Earth and the true distance of transference between Tenno and Warframe.
* When it was time, Ballas had issued a brainwashed order for CT to eradicate the planet of all human life. CT forcefully complied, producing copies of his frame and turned it into a hivemind. He made humanity go extinct in a matter of weeks.
* After this test was completed. Ballas had retrieved CT and then shipped him off to the Metaverse or the Nexus of Earth Prime in search of a greater challenge.
=== Into The Metaverse: ===
* A Starchild known as "Higgs," first discovered CT in a salvage yard. Before deciding to scrap him for extra credits. Higgs decided to take him to the Misty Shores Head Blacksmith known as "Bishop," in hopes of getting the supposed synth appraised and maybe activated. CT's void engine disguised as a Magitech core absorbed the mana Higgs put into it and CT reawakened from his coma unsure of his past and unable to use his old kit.
* After getting his surroundings down and first steps taken care of. CT joined Higgs and his small Pennydarren crew and left the Misty Shores Guildhall off to explore the rest of the Metaverse.
=== Season One | Act One: Being Human ===
*After CT has spent some weeks in this new universe, he created a personality program chip capable of creating an personality based on the actions he and others take around him. There were three types of core; Psychopath, Saint and Humanity. Psychopath is a more evil mindset, Saint the complete opposite, and Humanity was the combination of both.
* During the time while CT was working on his personality cores, he joined a splinter group of the "Leonhardt" Mafia family called "The Neverlight Conspiracy." This group mainly handled critical issues for the crime family but was also a failsafe group should a looming war with the Zealous Zarus faction were to be lost. 
* CT joined NLC in a task to take down a Everdarkin known as "Green Eyes," A high risk asset let loose against the Leonhardts. After a brief engagement teamed with Trinidad Aguilar, Higgs, Leo Leonhardt, Malakai, Herc. Green Eyes went down but doing so released a powerful foe from within him known as "Entropius." This new enemy quickly vacates the area leaving CT and Higgs dumbfounded.
* Not long after the Green Eye engagement. CT's personality core is coming along well and it appears that the Humanity path was prevailing. During his research into the core and himself, he discovered should the Humanity core take over. His hardwired original programing would take over and he would begin an extinction event on Earth Prime. When he was out of time and no options. CT leaves a note for the Pennydarren crew and runs to try and prevent a grim reality.
* The following night; Higgs, Clink, Volt, and Lyo Leonhart followed the tracker CT left with the note and found him with two copies of himself at a recently out-of-commission steel forge where CT now assuming the name "Combat Technohive," was enacting the same fate from the previous universe he was in. The group work to take down the copies of CT while he went to activate Higgs' damaged mech to take the interlopers down. CT was overpowered, exited the mech and was reset for good. The humanity core overwrote the hardwired programing and CT was free... For now...
=== Season One | Arc Two: An Honest Day ===
* After CT was set free from his "shackles," he joined Higgs on mercenary jobs to start racking in the credits. Their first job together was assisting an organization known as the "Starstruck Scouts." They were tasked in heading to Nidrasil, locating a Dwarf's soul known as Nore in order to revive him. The team was comprised of the following; CT, Higgs, The Half Pink Oni Dea, Protogen Captain Taniks, Ferret Keychains, Avali 11, and Leon Leslie. The mission was dangerous and majority of the part suffered injuries but survived and Nore was revived. CT and Higgs both agreed in never returning to a place such as that. 
*A Month passed, the Everdarkin, Entropius returned and began making deals with people. One of those people was a woman named Aerilyn. Aerilyn was a staff member at the Misty Shore Guildhall and allowed Entropius to take control of her body. Entropius while controlling Aerilyn decided to incite violence at the Leonhardts club which lead to an altercation that kills Aerilyn and very heightened tensions between the mafia family and the guildhall.
*A couple days after Aerilyn's death. Higgs, CT and a Monster Hunter named Aries responded to a distress call from Lena Wayfair. The trio entered a winter forest and found Lena with a dead child in her arms and Entropius nearby. After some worthless banter, the team combats with Entropius and defeats him only to learn that it was only a golem made of flesh as a decoy. The group recover Lena and go to a Leonhardt hideout to discuss further moves with the crime family, but leaving with no new plans, frustrations and another innocent gone.
*Few weeks have passed, CT and Higgs were visiting the Leonhardt bar known as the "Sky Leon," to continue discussion about Entropius and any plans they can actually come up with. In a turn of events, Entropius appears at the bar, causes disruption and after a mild scuffle with Leo Leonhardt, he punches a hole through his chest. Malakai quickly arrives to the scene and uses his powers to heal the damages but left Leo in a Coma. CT began to realize that this situation may be too much for him to be apart of.
* As time passes, in the world of the Metaverse. The CEO of Wayward Industries known as Batheili was murdered, close friend of Higgs. Aries fell in combat, their mind/soul being transferred into a synth body. In place an entity known as the Samurai with a known poor history with Aries had taken over their body. CT, Athena, Poi, Dennis and Clover confronted Samurai in a bid to beat him down enough so they can allow Aries to take their body back. After a long fight. Samurai was expelled and Aries' soul was able to reconnect with his body.
=== Season One | Act Three: Overwhelming Infestation ===
* After a long while of jobs here and there. Higgs received a long echo of a signal from the edge of the solar system and decided to go investigate, bringing CT with him. When they arrived at the planet, they discovered everything was dark green, burned to the ground, consumed by black biomass. No life was visible on this planet. After overstaying their welcome. Higgs and CT were attacked by black biomass humanoids spewing green fire. Higgs was attacked and one of the monster has bitten one of his arms. It slowly began to corrupt into a grayish green metal after he was able to stop the spread of the infection to the rest of his body.
* CT and a small group of people were slowly decoding scrambled probe footage of a large biomass heading closer to Earth Prime. CT heads to the Purple Lotus Casino before it gets fully decoded and mentioned a black, green and gray metal knight walking around the casino asking about Higgs. CT and Taniks from the Scouts ran a scan on this man and discovered his signature was the same as the large biomass heading to Earth Prime. CT approached the knight with the green hellfire within him calling himself the Plague Lord and asked; "So tell me freak. What do you want with Higgs?" The Plague Lord simply responded, "The name sounds familiar. . ." CT responded, "Familiar my ass, I think I know who you are and if that's true, you are to return to the hellhole you came from and never return to the Metaverse." The Plague Lord laughs it off and walks away. Ever since then CT has nicknamed him "Freak."
* The following week, the Plague Lord was seen at the Lying Fork Tavern conversing with Entropius. CT assumes they were partnering up, but was unsure. When that conversation was finished, the Plague Lord passes by CT and CT mumbles; "Go play kiss ass elsewhere." The Plague Lord only laughed in response and said, "I would love to see your head on a pike." the rest of the night CT could hear the Plague Lord describe himself as an healer, capable of curing the uncurable such as Cancer, Alzheimer's, etc. 
* The following day, CT found the Plague Lord again at the Misty Shores. Nothing went wrong during the opening hours, the Plague Lord even apologized for his comment to CT the night before. During the closing hours, the Plague Lord asked to talk to CT in private. CT agreed and the two entered the library. When they were alone, Plague Lord constricted CT with Plague tendrils, divulged his plans to overtake Earth Prime, infecting everything, starting with CT. With that, CT was infected. If not treated in time, he would become the monsters he found the lost planet only a week ago. 
==== The Starstruck Scouts ====
* In the coming days, Higgs informed CT that Plague hives began to appear around the Misty Guildhall and Zaphira City. Unsure what to do, The two hosted a Meeting led with the Starstruck Scouts and others to find what to do against the quickly growing threat. After the meeting had concluded. CT has been spending a good amount of time building relations with the Scouts and their captain Taniks who then provided an invitation to join them. Excited on finding his place in the Metaverse, CT informed Higgs that he will be staying with the Scouts and replied saying; "As long as you're happy partner, If you're happy, I'm happy." CT was happy he had Higgs' blessing, but sad that he was turning the page on his life.
* When Higgs left, CT began to start unpacking some of his stuff. He began to hear the taunting of the Plague Lord within his mind and began to freakout in front of some of the Scouts. When his freakout episode faded, the truth came out that CT was infected and the medics aboard the Scouts ship, "The Medusa's Eye," started to test him. CT learned that the only way he could spread his infection is if anyone were to touch his mana supply within suit.
==== The Death of a Cowboy ====
* While under quarantine aboard the Scouts ship, Higgs had fallen in combat against a powerful enemy known as, "Nero." Nero was a far worse threat for the Leonhardts than Entropius and was only saved from a permanent end by Malakai ripping Higgs' brand off his face before Nero had a chance to crush it. Ran then recovered the brand and ran into exile. When CT heard of this news within the Neverlight Comms, he decided to leave the group realizing how dangerous their operations are. Before CT left the Scouts ship in search of truth to Higgs' death, Valentine, Higgs' AI would accompany his investigation.
* Week has passed and the only information anyone has gotten about Higgs' death was his apparition appearing at the Misty Guildhall. The other thing he learned is that Taniks and Dea had been given a wayfinder, a compass capable of finding anyone you desire.
==== The Infested Campaign ====
* CT joined the Plague Campaign and joined a team led Valentine, with; Damien, Ebb&Flo, Dennis, Tirith, Rodrick, Ethan, and Rogue to destroy a hive. It was a hard fought battle, and in the end the team were able to blow up the hive from within. Majority of the party was injured, especially CT who had one of his manaflow tubes which is similar to him bleeding out. He was able to make it back to the Medusa's Eye and was thankfully tended to before he met his end. The following day. Rogue, Dea, Taniks and CT headed out in search of Ran to check in on them and know Higgs' band is safe. 
==== Unforgotten Souls of the Lost Acres ====
* After arriving at Higgs' farm world and locating his home, the group came across a scrapbook filled with photos of Higgs and Ran. One of the photos was the two of them in front of a cabin in the winter. It had a caption; "Thousands of years we've been married, and the idiot finally got me a ring. . . I love him. . ." Valentine knew the location of this cabin so the group headed there in hopes of finding Ran.
* Soon the group found the cabin with Ran inside, saddened and stressed. After spending some time talking about ideas to bring Higgs back. Another apparition of Higgs appeared asking for Ran's help. The soul soon vanishes again, and CT sees the plague lord standing outside. CT goes to investigate only to find nothing and realizing he was hallucinating again. Dea believe that taking the brand to her realm, known as the "Lost Acres," would be able to see Higgs' soul within and talk to him so the group headed there after convincing Ran.
* When the group got there, they traveled through heavy fog and came across a sleeping Higgs on a small island surrounded by water and after being startled by Rogue, the group all comes together and asks Higgs on how to return. After time talking with Higgs everyone learned that Higgs needed to face three labors in his mind in order to return. Those targets, were his brother, the plague lord now known as "Gregor," and Aries. Higgs went up to CT, claiming to know how to cure CT. He then proceeded to collect all the infection from his mana supply and cured him. CT was no longer infected.
* Lastly Higgs confronted Rogue about his involvement in murdering Batheili who Taniks respected highly. The encounter transpired high tensions between Rogue and Taniks but after some discussion began to understand that Batheili needed to be killed for the horrors that he was planning to do.
==== Back to the Front ====
* CT returns to the metaverse after finding Ran/Higgs and was spending an evening at the Lying Fork. During the early hours of the night, CT noticed a knight with green hues. He introduced himself as Malos and he discussed his undying loyalty towards his lord. With some context clues, CT realized that this could be one of Gregor's commanders and decided to get a photo of him and lie about his Identity so he could stay unknown.
* As the later hours ensues Samurai would return to the Fork to cause problems, but CT, Sapphire, Clover, Dennis and Lance were able to repel him and pursue him towards Zaphira. Before he left though, Ran arrived at the Fork with Higgs' brand and the brand began to surge with energy. With great reveal. Higgs had been revived. CT however, could not stay and needed to continue towards Samurai.
* When they arrived at Zaphira, the party confronted and attacked the Samurai. Like last time they were successful, however it was revealed that Dr. Jasper had joined the Samurai. Dr. Jasper was the villain for Sapphire and was known to make constant clones of her. The two vanished before anyone could capture or land the final blow on the Samurai or the Doctor. CT was able to prevent the Samurai Protocol virus in the local Zaphira area and left with a bittersweet victory.
==== Whistling In The Wind: ====
* In Comms one day, a member of the Metaverse collective, Arik sent a message saying "I am sorry," before going silent on Comms and missing. CT was worried about Arik's wellbeing because during the in between times of larger events. The two have been getting along, since they were the only two who had been infected with the Plague Virus and were searching together to find a cure. Arik however, left CT a sending stone. CT not know what it does, decided to crush it and was sent to a space realm placed in front of a being looking similar to Arik named, "The Wizard." The Wizard was a lesser deity in Arik's realm wanting to obtain was much knowledge as he could. He offered to bond with CT in order for him to track Arik. CT not caring for the repercussions of a potential bond with a deity. He accepted the offer and gained the ability to track Arik through the Stars. 
* CT arrives a hidden hive after following the trail and enters combat with the plague denizens in the immediate area. He was able to take down dozens of the monsters but was eventually surrounded. Before being torn apart from the monsters. CT called out Gregor and the fighting stopped. Malos and newest Ally the Samurai confronted CT and offered him to trial by fire. So they left after injuring him more and the fighting continues. CT never made it to the entrance. He continued fighting and was eventually torn apart and submitting to the enemy. CT was brought to the lower levels of the Hive, limbs ripped off, and was reinfected with the plague virus as well as the Samurai protocol. 
* The following evening, both Arik and CT were dropped off at the Lying Fork by infected gargoyles and eventually they were transferred to the Misty Shores' guild hall via portal with Ebb&Flo, Rogue, Tirith and Silver. Both were tended to but Arik was the only one to survive the treatment. CT's infection was too great and begun to turn, so in response. Rogue put CT down. CT is dead for the most part, but his backup memory has now been activated and a new chassis is being created. But CT's memory will never be the same. 
==== The Plagued War ====
* After CT was reactivated, he began to correct his memories and fix his damaged relationship with Arik. While it was a struggle at first, in a few months he was able to be caught up to speed, but during that time he returned to do more jobs for the Scouts while also continue to give his efforts to the Plague Campaign. During the down time, CT became a honorary sangheili student underneath Shak Wa'hamee. Here he was taught the Sangheili ways as well as dueling with a plasma sword; a melee weapon used by them. The time of quiet would soon come to an end, the Plague were amassing in numbers, about thirty thousand in arms to take down the Misty Shores Guildhall. If the Guildhall fell, the rest of Earth Prime would too.
* The battlefront took three days. Each day got incredibly harder and CT was apart of the final day. The final day was hell on Earth. Plague came in numbers and the Guildhall army moved and fought valiantly. In due time they were able to push out the Plague in the immediate area and the battle was won. But the war was far from over and many have fallen in this battle.
* A week later a strike team composed of the following adventures; CT, Dea, Taniks, Tec, Rogue, Arik, Davi, Raiesh, Ebb&Flo were tasked with assaulting a downed ship known as the "Goliath." This ship was the main base of operations for the plague and their regrouping point after the war effort. This battle was difficult and long, but eventually the team was able to transport Mystra, the God of Magic to the Goliath and destroy it. The Plague was gone... Or so it seemed...
=== Season Two | Arc One: Second Dream ===
* A few weeks after the Assault on the Goliath, CT and some scouts members went to a mana enriched garden that Gregor had created in a forest not far away from the battlefield. While the intentions of the garden were confusing to the group. They went to gather samples for Higgs. During their trip they discovered a force of nature know as the "Construct," this creature or being originates from the Shadowfel and feeds on the torment of its prey. So after driving the party insane and slowly hurting them. The group eventually gets away and some what freaked out. This would not be the last time CT encounters the Construct.
* A few months after the ending of the Plague War. CT began to have dreams, out of body experiences and generally weaker. He began to hear voices of a female, unknown to him but yet familiar. In a dream he learned the blueprints of what he called a "Transference" pod. This pod would allow him to enter it and to temper the energies within him. He learned that the Mana that he thought he had within him was actually Void disguised as Mana to hide his true self from himself and others.
* When the Pod had finished completion. CT took a party to the moon to find a secret research facility in search of a void fragment capable of powering his pod. When CT and Co had reached the material. CT collapses and the group move to evacuate CT while being attacked by the Construct of the Shadowfel. After escaping the station. They returned to the Medusa's Eye installed the void fragment into the pod which powered it on. They placed CT into the pod which lead him to be unconscious for months.
==== A Rift's Paradise ====
* After a few months have passed, CT awoken slightly from his void coma and learned coordinates of his pod on the other end of the tether. Higgs, Aries, Lance, Shak and Arik went through a void rift discovered at the coordinates. It would allow them to quickly get to CT's real body. They were in a lush environment where it seemed to be underwater, but there was a bubble covering the ruins. They immediately met resistance with mercenary forces. After fighting their way through the rift, the made it to the exit only to learn it was too late and the pod was moved. Mission failed.
