About Me

[TO BE REWRITTEN, INACCURATE]  Hongbin was born into an upper middle class family of  seemingly normal humans. Though his powers didn't manifest until the age of 10 he suffered from night terrors all throughout his childhood. The dreams consisted of cataclysmic storms; tornado's, hurricanes, fires started by lightning. Hongbin standing in the middle of them, protected in a sphere of calm unable to stop the storms, unable to protect the people and places that he cared for.  Despite frequent visits to sleep specialists nothing could be done to stem the dreams, and as he got older  the dreams grew more violent and more numerous. 

One late October night, shortly after his tenth birthday, Hongbin found himself sinking into another nightmare. Though he was asleep, he was aware that this was a particularly violent dream, the storm raging around his house in his dream increasing in intensity with every passing minute. No matter how hard he tried he could not pull himself from the dream. Lightning strike after, lightning strike rained down around the house. Scared and alone Hongbin bolted from bed and ran downstairs hoping to escape the brunt of the storm by escaping to the storm shelter under their house. In the dark safety of the storm shelter Hongbin hoped to wait out the rest of his dream. He heard strange cracking sounds from above and soon the acrid smell of smoke began to fill his nose. But, believing that it was all a dream he curled in on himself waiting for the storm to pass and for his eventual release from this torture.

He was finally pulled from the night terror by the insistent shaking of his shoulders, an unknown man in a bright yellow emergency jacket. He told him his house had caught fire in the night and that it had burned to the ground before anyone notified the police and that he had been lucky to survive. Shocked into silence, Hongbin stared at the man unable to comprehend what he had just been told. He was shuffled to a child protective services office and then shortly after found himself in an orphanage just outside of Seoul. So shocked and traumatized from this experience hongbin created a secondary personality and locked the guilt from killing his family and any memories he had of them away.

Hongbin hardly remembers the year that followed the tragedy that took him from his parents, his life and his home.  All he remembers is being shuffled from foster home to foster home until the beginning of his 8th grade year. He was never able to stay long as tales of violent weather and long sleepless nights followed him.

 A wise older gentleman by the name of Kim Young Bee selected Hongbin  out of the children in the orphanage to adopt. It was clear to him that Hongbin was no ordinary orphan, and he sensed that he might be able to help the poor boy come to terms with his power. This was the beginning of a beautiful friendship and Hongbin began to open up again. No longer was he the broken boy boy they found lying in a puddle outside the wreckage of his childhood home, but he was a happy content individual. The one thing that never left him was the fear of his power, of what it could do, of what he could do if he lost control. By attending power academy he hoped to gain a better understanding and control of his power so he would never hurt anyone ever again.

The First year at Power academy was difficult for Hongbin. His fear ruled over everything, and though the teachers did their best to try and help Hongbin understand how to control his powers the crippling irrational terror that took control every time he tapped in to his powers was something that not even the teachers could remedy. After the first few times at training Hongbin began to gain some control over his powers and made marginal successes. It was late in October during a routine training that the unthinkable happened; on a field trip designed to teach the nature users in his class the subtilities of using thier powers a line of powerful and unexpected storms, called a Derecho, moved across the area where Hongbin's class was working. Bringing with it hurricane force winds, micro-bursts and heavy rain the helpless teacher looked to Hongbin for his power.

No one who was there that day could say he didn't try, but the results were catastrophic. As he had when he was younger, he lost himself to the power of the storm and to the raw power that pulsed through his veins. Instead of suppressing the storms he intensified them, putting his classmates and teacher in extreme danger. The teacher was finally able to stop him by knocking him out. After that he was ostracized by the majority of his classmates and took to refusing to access his powers when anyone was around. Because of the strength of Hongbin's powers he has had great difficulty in finding a shadow and spent the better part of his first and second years without one. Despite the out of control nature of his power, the teachers never thought to offer him a power suppressor. Generally used as a punishment, the teachers thought he would want no part of it.

 Hongbin is quietly forceful, original, and sensitive. He is very good at getting the job done. He has a strong, accurate sense of intuition about people, and is concerned for their feelings and well being. He has a well-developed value system which he strictly adheres to.
