## Character Biography

### An early Life in danger

Stanley has always had an outgoing personality, even from a young age in Traven. This personality would often betray his naivety as well, as he would be picked on by Humans for being a Super. At the age of eight, his parents were rounded up in a Traven raid, and he was hidden away by his Human grandmother until the raiders were gone. Then his grandmother decided to get him out of the city as she felt he was not safe there. Leaving him with a change of clothes, a note to give to the teleportation workers, and a fake smile on her face, she placed him on a teleporter for Lestigue and said goodbye. As the glass went up, Stanley stared at his grandmother, showing a wisdom beyond his years, and smiled, forgiving her and thanking her for looking after him.

### A new life

He found himself on Lestigue where he immediately handed over the note and was led to a waiting room. In that waiting room he met a social worker who placed him with a foster family that cared for him like a son and brother. As he developed his power, he developed a love for the great outdoors and spent his time outside trying to hone his abilities to make sure he knew the extent of them.

When he was 16, he was outside practising as a gang walked up to him and tried to convince him to turn his power of energy manipulation into a weapon for them. He refused emphatically, and the gang decided to teach him a lesson. They beat him up, broke his ribs and arm, cracked a shoulder, and sent him to hospital.

### Meeting Kiara

Whilst in the hospital he made friends with the nurses and doctors, and on one of his walks he happened to pass a thin, pale girl with gold hair the colour of his eyes, looking very weak and sick. He asked the nurses about it and one of them told him her name was Kiara, and that he should ask her about it as she could probably use a friend. That was all the push that he needed, and he made himself her friend. They talked through the night as she fell in and out of sleep, until eventually he asked her what was wrong. Kiara explained her power and illness, and Stanley showed her his power. They thought about it for a fraction of a second before Kiara put her hand in his. Stanley activated his power and the transformation was instantaneous. Kiara sat up, full of energy and back to her usual perky self.

Feeling proud of himself they exchanged contact details, and for the next year they were inseparable. Stanley developed feelings for Kiara during this time, however did not want to be the one to tell her, as he knew that she didn’t keep those sorts of feelings bottled up, and if she felt the same way she would tell him.

### Returning to Traven

Eventually, Stanley heard the news he never wanted to hear. His grandmother had passed away in her sleep, and he needed to go back to look after the legal matters. He said goodbye to Kiara and his foster family, and had his powers temporarily nullified until his return so people wouldn’t persecute him for being a Super during those times. Upon arriving back in Traven, he went to his grandmother’s house to find his uncle there. After a tearful reunion, they set out completing the paperwork necessary to comply with the will, and put her to rest. Stanley decided in the end to stay in Traven for a while, and he lived on his own in the house his grandmother had left him.

### Joining the Superhuman Taskforce

Eventually Stanley started to think about his future, and on the date that his nullification was scheduled to expire, he made his way back to Lestigue and went straight for the police department to apply for the Superhuman Taskforce. On the first day of the academy Stanley walked through the gates to see a familiar friend. After a tearful reunion, they got back to their old dynamic and promised to look out for each other, and they did. After graduation, the pair became one of the most effective hero partnerships in the LPD, and completed many missions together and with the wider team.
