## Summary

*Charles Kreiger is currently at large, any sightings of him are to be reported to the local authorities as soon as possible. -* Various News Outlets.

Charles Kreiger is a self-proclaimed "Privateer"; even if his job doesn't have anything to do with ships, regardless he is a businessman who would do anything for his family, part of the reason why he has a hand in the various black markets.

## Pre-infection life.

Charles had been the oldest son of two adventurous "miners", their job was to visit any promising celestial bodies and mark them up for another crew to mine. This job managed to be both boring and dangerous at the same time. Charles was in this business with his two parents for a long time, but eventually they decided to settle on a planet instead, this was around the time when Charles' oldest sister Ana, was announced around this time, playing a big part in his parents sudden want to raise their child semi-normally. So they returned to their home system, and chose an up and comer in the colonies, Pluto. It was here that Charles learned what a family was meant to be, and where Charles' acquired his special "quirk".

## Infection

Pluto was a well known place, very well known actually, it was also fairly well documented. But that was mostly from space. After all to most it was just a hunk of rock that had nothing charming on it, the only people who settled there were either very brave, very stupid, or both. Scientific endeavours were hardly carried out on the planet beyond the bio-spheres and some terraforming. Unbeknownst to everyone, the terraforming, however minor; had awakened something. Within the small "planet" there was a special kind of creature that was sealed away, the apparent last of it's kind. It was a parasitic being who needed others for life, since the planetesimal was barren, free of any life, the creature had to wait in a crude form of hibernation until something warmed it up just enough to become active again, and chances are that would be an alien species. Lo and behold, it was just that. The creature, being as black as the space between the stars and as small as a snake was very easily hidden in the near perpetual darkness of the planet, a darkness that the bio-sphere broke. The creature had it's hunting ground, now it just needed a target. A young impressionable mind, one that it can use to spread itself over the galaxy once more. The creature stalked and waited, it didn't have a lot of time, but it had enough, enough so to notice the young Charles whom it deemed was the perfect target. So took its time, waiting to learn how they got in and out of their sphere. Once it had learned this it struck, it snuck its way into the biosphere, the warmed a welcomed change from it's prior living space, the creature had snuck its way to poor Charles, hiding as much as it could before coming face to face with the young boy. The young boy, only around 13 was curious as to what this creature was, but before he could do anything the creature lunged at him, flinging itself right into his mouth. Once inside the creature released an anesthetic to put the child to sleep as it worked its way through his body, eventually latching onto the boy's spinal cord, through this connection it allows the boy to hear it's thoughts and in return hear the boy's.

## Symbiosis.

The beginning was hard for young Charles, the creature forced it's thoughts and ideals into the young impressionable boy, the creature was harsh and primal. It cared very little of the feelings of others, or the plight of them. This is what changed Charles the most, he cared as a child, he was empathetic to other being. But now he is a harsh and crass individual because of the symbiote. It has changed him irreversibly into a person who cares either, only for himself or his family anymore. The family comes from Charles, he believes that family will always be together, and he himself would never abandon family, no matter how far he's gone.

## Abilities

In return for becoming a host, the creature had given the boy several powers.

1. Tendril Generation
2. Infection (Ability to infect most sapient or sentient beings.)
3. Telepathy (Limited to either the parasite, or the infected creatures)

Tendril generation uses the fluids in his body as a catalyst to create more tendrils, the parasite controls them to his will. (Most of the time.)

Infection can be done with either blood, or inserting a tendril into the creature and having it take control of their spinal cord. Once this is done they become an extension of the parasite and his combined mind. Almost like a hive mind, they become one with it.

Telepathy is as it's name suggests, all members of the hive mind can speak to each other near instantly, the range is currently unknown.
