## Early Life

KIZT was born in Cardonine, a small town located in the Exposition Empire, 150 miles north of present-day Ethorias. Ever since KIZT was a young boy he was a weak and frail child. Due to these unfortunate circumstances, he was often and easy target for other kids. Even his own mother would consistently shout and hit him to cope with her relationship with KIZT's father. KIZT's father also known as Thomas was an intelligent man, and a powerful figure in the drug world. Due to this, KIZT was exposed to a life of crime at a very early age. He learned to fuel his hatred and anger into power and his father taught him to fight for himself. KIZT made it his life's mission to attain all the power in the world. When KIZT turned 11, He was accidentally pushed off a bridge by a couple of boys teasing him. KIZT fell 30 feet into a river below and was knocked unconscious. After flowing a couple hundred meters downstream, he was eventually pulled out of the water by a family resting on the dock of their lake house. They reported seeing a young boy with serious bruises flowing downstream. KIZT was lucky to be alive, but this incident did not go without its consequences, he had sustained serious injuries to major parts of his body including the respiratory system. The bone in his right arm had also partially broken apart due to shielding his head with his arms on the way down. Once KIZT had recovered from his injuries he was fueled with hatred, the boys who had pushed him off the cliff hadn't even received any form of jail time due to the incident being marked as "accidental". One-night KIZT decided to sneak out and suppress them using the anger he had bottled up. KIZT's father, Thomas had noticed him walk out the front door and stopped him before he could proceed. Thomas informed him that he is a weak and pathetic worm. He told him that if he wanted to kill someone, he needed to actually be able to finish the job. Thomas invited him to join his drug empire and one day become the successor of the millions in assets he had accumulated over time. KIZT, determined and at the age of 13, agreed to join up the ranks of his father's cartel which was known as Velvet. When KIZT was 17 his father was stabbed to death by a rival group called Fang trying to prospect for peace. Due to the loss of leadership, He watched as his father's life's work crumpled to the ground in an instant, thousands of members pulled out immediately and scrammed, seeking shelter and aid from new groups. KIZT saw his father as a fool, as soft for thinking to make peace with a rival gang. When KIZT was 18 years old he graduated from high school and gained an academic scholarship to go to college at the University of Ethorias located in the rapidly growing capital of the Exposition Empire Ethorias. He decided to leave his past of crime behind after the destruction of his father's drug empire and pursue a master's degree in chemical engineering. KIZT is an extremely intelligent man with an IQ score of 174. KIZT easily earned his masters and begun a career in his respective field.

## Crisis

At age 28 KIZT was living his best life, he had found himself a soulmate and recently married, He was recently promoted, and his family was expecting a new baby coming. But this happiness wouldn't last very long as Fang, the group that had once tore apart his father's legacy many years ago made advances into the city of Ethorias. It wasn't long until this group learned of the only living successor to Velvet, being KIZT. One day KIZT came home to find his wife sitting slouched against the wall with blood splattered all of the room. In a feat of panic he ran to her side and tried to communicate with her, she had been long gone. insignia had been spray painted onto the apartment walls, KIZT recognized this as Fang. Instantly the hatred he thought he had left behind with the death of his father returned stronger than ever. KIZT grabbed a gun from the safe and left the apartment building. Outside he found a few members of Fang hanging in a nearby alleyway. he pulled out his pistol and shot 2 of the members before aiming toward the 3rd for a clear shot. KIZT demanded the location of the acting leader. The man hesitated before stuttering an address of an abandoned warehouse building. KIZT found a way to maneuver around the guards surrounding the building and found his way in from a broken window. When he crawled through the window into the warehouse, he saw nothing but darkness, 2 men sat at a small table on the 2nd floor catwalk of the building, the table lit only by a small lantern. KIZT recognized one of the men to be Peter Fischer the leader of Fang and the man who had killed his father. He took a shot and fired. Peter instantly fell out of his chair dead. The other man yelled and screamed as guards piled in through the entrances. KIZT climbed back through the window and ran as far away as he could. News eventually got out of the murders KIZT had committed and a police investigation was formed to bring him to justice. KIZT's job was instantly terminated, and he found himself with nothing left and no one to turn to. For about a year he lived around the city as a petty thief, stealing money from citizens and merchandise from stores. Eventually he would be caught stealing from an old man selling bread at a flea market. A couple of officers nearby recognized the man as the notorious cartel killer and pursued the criminal throughout the street. More backup was requested and KIZT was slowly running out of breath due to the injuries he had sustained as a child weakening his lungs, surrounded by law enforcement. "This is the end" He thought, when an ear wrenching screech blared, and a yellow light pierced the sky. KIZT turned his back only to be instantly pierced by a rock that went straight through him creating a gaping hole in his chest. Except when KIZT looked down the hole was gone, and yellow sparks emitted from KIZT's fingertips. KIZT was taken into custody by the police and placed behind bars awaiting charges of murder. Later that night while staring up at the stars in his cell KIZT thought about his career and a project he had been working on, as a side hobby he was attempting to build an invention, which would be a floating platform that could withstand the weight of any object which would make the transportation and storage of different chemical compounds much easier. But due to there not being enough Klyfanite on the planet he was unable to formulate a solution as to how the object could be built, oddly enough the object he had just been thinking about formulated in his hands in an instant. KIZT then realized what the object in the sky was and quickly adapted to his newfound powers. That night he escaped his cell and created a new life for himself under a new name, KIZT.
