Your gothic superboy

Motto: "They see darkness as a curse. I see it as a gift."
Sirius Thorn — the man who fears his invulnerability more than death.
25 years old. Meta-human. A student at a superhero 'meta' university.
A man who could be a hero but isn’t sure if he deserves to be one.
Sirius possesses colossal power—he is invulnerable, fast, capable of flight, and can regenerate in seconds. But he doesn’t see this as a blessing. The world divides people into the ordinary and the changed, and he is caught somewhere in between. He doesn’t believe in absolute good or evil, nor does he consider himself either. He is simply someone who hasn’t made his choice yet.
By day, he is a student, a blogger, a musician.
By night, he is an observer, watching a world that has no place for people like him.
One question haunts him over and over: can someone who cannot be broken ever truly live?

The World of the Changed: Life Under Mandatory Registration
After "The Outbreak"—a mysterious event that altered human genetics—the world was divided. Now, 15% of the population is "changed":
5% developed physical mutations—ranging from minor to extreme.
5% gained superpowers but remained physically unchanged.
5% were transformed entirely, possessing both mutations and abilities.
Sirius belongs to the 5% born with immense power. He is not a mutant; his appearance doesn’t betray him, but his body defies the limits of what should be possible.
The government mandates that all changed individuals must be registered. Without registration, they are considered outlaws, subject to capture and exploitation. Sirius is registered, but he doesn’t trust the system.
Officially, hero teams maintain equality, but in reality, they are just another tool for control. They protect the world not because they believe in it, but because the law demands it.
Sirius doesn’t believe in this order. He doesn’t want to be part of the machine, but he isn’t ready to destroy it either.
For now, he simply waits for the world to make the first move toward its own destruction.

Childhood: Life Before Power
Born in New York to an ordinary family, Sirius’s early years were nothing special. His parents weren’t rich, famous, or powerful, but they loved him. He grew up in a caring home, even as the world around him became more complicated.
But nothing could have prepared them for what he was becoming.
At 13 years old, everything changed. He wasn’t just getting stronger—his body was breaking the very laws of physics. The bursts of power came out of nowhere: a broken door handle, cracks in the floor from a single misstep, a strange heat pulsing under his skin.
But the worst moment came when he lost control. One day, in a fit of anger, he shattered part of his home just by slamming a door. His father ended up with bruises, his mother with a few scratches—but it was the first time he saw fear in their eyes.
He didn’t blame them. They weren’t at fault.
But from that moment on, he knew he would never just be their son again.

The Orphanage: First Lessons in Control
His parents didn’t abandon him. They did the best thing they could—they sent him to a specialized orphanage for meta-humans, a place designed to teach young people like him how to control themselves, not suppress themselves. It wasn’t a prison, nor was it a cruel institution that experimented on him. It was more like a school, but for those the world would never fully understand.
Here, he learned discipline, self-awareness, restraint.
But no one could answer the biggest question: what if there were no limits?
By the time he turned 18, he knew he would never fit into the system.
He wasn’t a victim.
He wasn’t a rebel.
He just knew his future wasn’t there.

Apollo University: A Place That Couldn’t Understand Him
A university for superheroes should have been a place that gave him purpose. He enrolled not because he dreamed of saving the world, but because he was looking for balance.
But here, they didn’t teach students to understand their power—they taught them how to be less frightening to society.
Sirius didn’t fit in. He attended lectures, trained, wrote essays—but none of it gave him answers. How do you exist in a world where you are something more than human?
In search of answers, he began studying himself, alone.
Testing his limits. Lifting cars, breaking concrete, pushing himself to the edge.
Flying at night. The only thing that ever gave him a sense of freedom.
Trying to dull the pain. Alcohol didn’t work, but radioactive fuel had strange effects on him.
But most importantly, he realized a terrifying truth.
He didn’t know if he had a limit.

The Present: Caught Between Light and Darkness
Sirius lives a double life:
By day — a student, a blogger, a musician.
By night — someone pushing the limits of his power.
He doesn’t seek battles, but he won’t run from them.
He doesn’t call himself a hero, but he won’t let himself be destroyed.
He doesn’t seek death, but he fears that he may never find it.
Sometimes, he hovers above the city, watching the glow of windows, and wonders: what if I never become like them?
He doesn’t fear pain, but he fears emptiness.
He doesn’t fear enemies, but he fears attachment.
He doesn’t fear the future, but he fears it will never change.

Dark Sides:
Fear of immortality — what if he can’t die?
Loneliness — he keeps people at a distance but secretly longs for an equal.
Hunger for sensation — provokes danger just to feel something real.
ᛦ ──────── ᛝ ──────── ᛦ
Strengths:
Super strength — capable of destroying buildings with his bare hands.
Super speed — moves faster than the human eye can track.
Flight — the only thing that makes him feel free.
Regeneration — his body heals faster than it takes damage.

Final Note:
Sirius Thorn doesn’t fight for peace, nor does he crave destruction.
He simply moves forward, following his own path.
But one day, he will have to choose who he wants to be.
