Kronos (Titan)

Kronos was the patriarch of the Founding Family.

## Origin

Kronos (alongside the sisters Gaia & Cybele) were part of a group of Titans from a different dimension. During a destructive and cyclical war known as the Titanomachy, Kronos was forced to commit a serious ‘war crime’ unlike ever before. Feeling remorseful, Kronos persuaded the magical sisters Gaia & Cybele to generate a path to leave the dimension permanently and start a new life elsewhere - breaking the cyclical war forever.

The trio would arrive in the past. The new dimension also seemed to dampen their powers; which persuaded the trio to live in secret and avoid the failings of their past life. Kronos & Gaia grew closer over the years, free from the violence and able to pursue a romance with each other. Cybele grew more distant from her sister. The trio would separate through the ages, with the couple chasing ‘normality’ and Cybele embracing her magical origins.

Kronos & Gaia would marry but struggled with the dilemma of having children. As foretold in their home dimension (and in an attempt to feed the cycle of war); once any Titan had a child, their immortality is voided. They decided to continue their mission for a normal life - eventually passing as ‘super heroes’ once it became more common.

## Children

The couple set up home in a large modern house in the hills above Rocket City, creating a small compound for their family to grow. With their combined powers, the couple were able to create a safe environment that kept outsiders away easily. Kari was born shortly after the couple arrived in the city, followed by the arrival of the twins Kronos Jr. & Pandora. As they grew older, the children developed their own super-powered abilities.

Whilst all of the kids were doing well with their private school, it become increasingly clear to the family the kids needed more specialised teaching and training with their abilities. The kids were taken from school and began a more intensive home-schooling approaching including training with their powers. It was around this time that the public became aware of their powers; particularly an incident with Thunder at a swimming competition. The family were eventually local 'celebrities' - with many people admiring (and fearing) their god-like powers. This eventually led to families bringing young superpowered kids & teenagers to their school asking for help with training. Kronos was against this and wanted to remain separate from the world outside; but Gaia persuaded him that training was the right thing to do. This was also around the time of the Super Legion forming; allowing the family to focus on training rather than crime fighting.

## Death

After around 18 months of training, the school was preparing for a 'graduation' ceremony with some of the older students preparing to move into teaching or potential membership with the Super Legion. Tragedy struck just a few days before this when two student's powers interacted badly. In a devastating explosion, the student Pulse levelled the living facilities for the students, killing almost every student instantly. Attempting to escape, an injured Pulse tried to reach the Founding Family home nearby. Kronos, Gaia & Kari all went to help but were subsequently killed in a second burst of energy from Pulse. Seeing the destruction and death, Thunder felt forced into killing Pulse and stopping another explosion. Kronos Jr. and Pandora were the only survivors from the event.
