Connor Crouch aka Damocles

Born with innumerable physical disabilities, Connor was handicapped for the vast majority of his youth. He could not use his legs if it meant saving his life, which meant he was confined to a wheelchair to move. Simple things like eating and drinking, or placing himself in his bed, required the attention of others, and he could not so much as communicate without requiring a computer to do so. He had very few options, and because of this he grew distant from the rest of his colony. While other children were out running and playing with their friends, he was bound to his bed or chair, reading or studying. At the very least, his mind would soar where his body failed.

Shortly after his eleventh birthday, the Crouch home colony was raided by rogues who pillaged and plundered as they pleased, led by none other than the very same man who pledged to lead the Crouch Colony Militia, and assist Connor in his growth. Men were wounded left to die, women and children kidnapped - those who would not comply were shot in the head - and all elderly and disabled were left to rot. Connor was among these, buried in the bodies of his deceased family in a dying, burning colony that would drift through empty space forever, and his only means of self-sustenance had been long lost.

The colony had drifted for days, and Connor had given up all hope of survival. However, when things seemed most bleak, the colony swept through a meteor shower, colliding with several along the way. The damage done to it was enough to ensure it would no longer be habitable, one meteor in particular shattering the dome which rendered the colony livable, though this spelled hope rather than disaster. On this meteor was a strange, unknown life form, one that was weak and hungry, desiring a means to survive. This desire linked with Connor's own, and the two beings found one another. He did not know what it was, but he had little choice. Hoping to survive, it bound itself to him, and from that point forward his life would never be the same.

The symbiote that bonded with Connor was childish, infantile, weaker than he in both body and mind, as he could tell when it made frequent attempts to communicate with him. It did so telepathically, reading through his mind to find things he knew, and in turn it allowed him to do the same. More than this, however, it gave him life; as the symbiote found Connor's handicaps, it did all it could to make up for them using its own being to strengthen him. As he continued drifting through space - now alone, with no shelter - this symbiote was all that kept him alive. It attached his body to a trader shuttle that passed through, and this shuttle ended up eventually carrying him back to civilization.

Finally returned to another colony, Connor had a chance to get to meet the thing that saved his life, communicate with it. While it remained hidden, he was in constant contact with it, and this enabled the two to bond unlike any experience he'd ever had in the past - Connor finally had his first real friend, and it wasn't human. It sifted through his experiences, taking in everything that happened to him without him needing to explain, and as it did so, it built up an anger within him that pushed him to keep on fighting for his life. So, the eleven year-old handicapped boy with a hidden symbiote would do all he could to make it, to find power, and to eliminate not only the man who wronged him, but any who did as that man did to others.

The symbiote took on the name Damocles for itself, based off of the mythological knowledge it studied in Connor's brain. He, however, eventually took up a career at the Federation as a respected scientist and one of the main forces in finding a cure for the blight. 

Primary: Project Damocles - Damocles takes over Connor's body, enveloping him in what appears to be a black, skin-tight suit. When done, Damocles completely takes over, sending him into a blind rage that does not halt until all threats in the area have been eliminated.
Level One: Connor can utilize the Damocles symbiote to create weaponry that stems from himself. This weaponry can be as simple as a blade or hammer, to whips and flails, to even spikes that form all along his body.


Secondary: Peak Human State - Connor is a gifted individual, far above the norm in every way.
Level One: Connor's strength, speed, intelligence, and perception are naturally at the peak of human capability, requiring very little upkeep to maintain.
