Blowup

Notes

One of the initial success stories of the Ares corporation's psychokinetic development project, the boy now known as "Blowup" was given higher and higher doses of psychokinetic potentiating drugs during his training. To the delight of his supervisors, his powers grew more rapidly than any of his peers - and he didn't develop the instabilities or psychoses that plagued most of them. When he hit puberty, however, his power started to grow uncontrollably and he found that if he didn't release the power that built up inside him eventually it would explode uncontrollably. His trainers encouraged him to hold his burgeoning power in for longer and longer periods, to build control. The result was an explosion that killed several of his classmates and teachers - and cracked the holding facility wide open. Terrified of the consequences, Blowup fled, ending up hiding in the 'Zone. He remembers almost nothing of his life before the project and survives in the 'Zone by petty theft. His attempts to join up with gangs or other support groups have all ended badly as most people are frightened by the magnitude of his power and terrified when they find out what tenous control he has over it. As a result Blowup is nervy, wary of strangers and sure of only one thing. He's *not* going back to the project.
