Void

## Summary

### Story

Thomas Caster was once an ordinary young man who had just started college and working part time as a Graphic Designer. One night, while playing video games with his younger brother, James, he heard somebody break down the door and assault his parents; he desperately tried to hide his brother while he found his father's hidden shotgun and attempted to fight off the invaders. Alas, there were too many and he was ultimately overwhelmed and fatally wounded; he was forced to watch helplessly as the thugs stormed his home and took their valuables, including his brother. After leaving, they set fire to the house, leaving Thomas and his parents to die in the inferno. As he lost consciousness, Thomas noticed a shadowy figure looming over him; he woke up days later in a hospital bed where he learned the grim fate of his parents. While he grieved, his powers started manifesting and a doctor and two police officers entered his room; he noticed that the two officers were two of the men that broke into his home that night. Two of the men that killed his parents, two of the men that destroyed his house, two of the men that took his brother. With memories of that night rushing back to him like a flood, his rage prompted his powers to manifest in full; and in an explosion of darkness, he had them both by the throat using tentacle-like shadows. After a grueling interrogation, he killed them and left to hunt down the other gang members that attacked that night. After 6 years of hunting, he had finally rescued his brother and killed all of his targets, only to discover they were only pieces of a much larger and more villainous whole. Now going by Void, he swears to avenge the families destroyed by this twisted organization. After hiding his little brother with a good family, he set off on his own again.

### Personality
