[b]2.[/b] [i]How About A little Background Bio on Your Character Sting for our Readers?[/i]

Eric Cooper : Let me answer those questions for you Blair.

Sting’s biggest successful heist was the steeling of the world’s largest carved sapphire that was on display at the North Carolina State Museum in 2005. Since then no one has any idea who he may have sold it to or where he may have secretly placed the gem.

A little back ground on Sting. Sting’s real name is Allen Sharp. Allen was born in Chicago, Illinois. He was raised by his mother
and has an older brother. Their living conditions were near poverty
and they barely had food on the table. Times were tough and then
Allen’s father was drafted to serve in Vietnam. Unfortunately, he
never made it home, and ten-year-old Allen and his older brother
were now without a father. Their mother who was diagnosed with lung cancer worked as much as she
could to keep food on the table; the government had offered little
support for their daily needs.
Allen was usually left alone, and his mother and brother hoped he would
stay out of trouble. Unfortunately, that did not go as planned…
Allen had started finding unique ways of getting into trouble. He
started stealing for no apparent reason, and then he could not help it.
He was becoming a kleptomaniac, and gravitating towards shiny
objects.
Later an altercation occurred in high school with one of the football jocks that nearly beat the hell out of Allen, that was the point where his body transformed and Allen discovered that he was a mutant and able to defend himself.
As time went on he became a thief for hire, and at times a personal body guard since he was able to switch back and forth from his human and mutant form.
Sting is a fast healer, and skilled in conventional fighting. He has the strength to lift 5 tons and his skin while in mutant form is able to resist small arms fire. He is also able to climb walls like and insect, has a nerve toxin that secrets from his razor sharp tail, and lastly he can secrete bio acid from his finger tips.


This panel (pg13p2) Called for Sting to start running. I kept thinking about the Bigfoot. The films of him walking w/ the arm swinging.Allen is a big brut. An Ape. Savage in Nature.There Something Primal About Allen.(STING)
It reminds me also of my son Brandon, when he runs with the arms all stiff.

starting pg13 today.
