## History

### Life in the Trenches: 1954 - 1972

Apexus would join the Resistance in 1954 as part of the 32nd Mud Trooper Battalion under Commander Diac. Apexus would spend a lot of his time under Diac serving in Front-Line trenches, forced to watch helplessly as his injured brethren returned from their battles in critical conditions. As a way to cope with the dark and depressing reality of things, Apexus started singing to himself as a way to keep himself occupied. Other troops began to notice this, causing a huge crowd to sing the same song while waiting for orders to arrive from command. When the orders arrived, the entire Battalion was reinvigorated and ready to fight, resulting in a victory for the Resistance.

However, everything wasn't so chipper for Apexus after this point. When word reached Duros that Apexus had caused an entire Battalion to sing along with him instead of focusing on the battlefield, he had him transferred to a different unit. Apexus didn't let this get to him. He knew that the battle was important and wanted to stop the Hive as much as the next Soldier, but he refused to believe that having a grim attitude was the only way. So, when joining up with his new Unit, Apexus began holding secret get-togethers with some of his fellow soldiers to help liven their spirits. One of these get-togethers were visited by Gort, who commended Apexus for keeping his teammates in such a light hearted mood.

## Threat Assessment

### Resources

* **Charisma Manipulation** - Ginrai can manipulate the charisma of oneself or others. By using this power, Ginrai can effectively make it so oneself or others are very charming and alluring or as charming as an eel or not so charming.
* **Enhanced Charisma** - Ginrai has unnaturally high charisma, or charm, enabling him to gain the trust and loyalty of others and win them over to his cause. Charisma is a trait found in certain personalities usually including extreme charm and 'magnetic' quality of personality and/or appearance along with innate and powerfully sophisticated personal communicability and persuasiveness. Though very difficult or even impossible to define accurately, charisma is often used to describe an (elusive, even undefinable) personality trait that often includes the seemingly 'supernatural' or uncanny ability to lead, charm, persuade, inspire, and/or influence people. Ginrai is special compared to other commonly charismatic figures as their charisma is innately formed and effective for even the most disagreeable entities and allows him to bring whole mobs of individuals to their aid.
* **Social Intuition** - Ginrai has an instinctual insight in regards social cues, i.e., group mind, teamwork, sales pitch, understanding/inner knowing of individual characteristics and interests. Being able to act on using such forethought and taking the initiative in getting them to work together, Ginrai can accomplish the impossible and cobble together a selection whom are prone to conflict & infighting yet have them function like a well-oiled machine.
