Welcome to Gaia! ::

As a child, growing up was rather tough for Clyde. He was left on the steps of an orphanage as baby with only his first name on a small three by five card. It would be the owner of the orphanage to give him his surname. The owner named him after the forty-four magnum revolver he kept in the drawer of his desk. In orphanage, Clyde found himself to be the runt of litter. Being picked on as he grew up. To escape the abuse, Clyde trained himself to be faster than the rest of his bullies. Where he learned was from his favorite shows on TV. He'd absorb himself with spaghetti westerns and samurai movies, mimicing what he saw and applying it to the real world. One day, he took upon himself to become a master of iaijutsu, the art of drawing the sword, or as he knew it fondly, the art of quick draw. As a result, Clyde was able to comprehend moving at fast speeds which then became the forte he had sought after. But this only made the youngster fast, not tough. Clyde could only take so many punches before being forced to admit defeat.

To better himself, he enrolled in the H.I.V.E. Academy. Along the way, Clyde came into possession of a sword and three pistols. How he obtained them is unknown. It speculated that he stole them. The third pistol, which was a customized SIG Sauer P226 with an extended slide, barrel, grip, and target sights, was especially scrutinized. Clyde would occassionally use the gun for when accuracy counted. He primarially used a pair of identical Colt Single Action Army revolvers. Clyde was able to fire each gun with amazing accuracy, even scoring hit when shooting from the hip.

While in the H.I.V.E., Clyde was still rather unsuccessful at making any friends. He was often picked on for having no outstanding qualities; When compared to everyone else, who had some sort of power or unique ability, Clyde was an ordinary human with a few guns and a sword. To make matter worse, whenever one of the students mocked Clyde by mentioning his parents, the boy would be sent into an uncontrollable rage. This fury was the cause of many school hospitalizations. Despite the bloody brawling, Clyde was never expelled. While teachers learned why the student would be sent into a frenzy, the student around Clyde forever remained ignorant, not caring to know why.

During his time at the H.I.V.E., Clyde developed a crush on the H.I.V.E. Five member, Hex. But, despite all of his efforts, Clyde never made any progress towards expressing his feelings. Clyde would later forget whatever romantic goals he had when one of the teachers paired him up with the ice boy, Kuzan Fei. The two first met in what seemed like a duel to the death. The students would later be forced to undergo training together, making them into an unlikely duo. Clyde and Kuzan quickly became close knit brothers-in-arms. To Clyde, it was like he finally found something he could finally call family, as Kuzan was the closest thing to a friend and a brother he had ever had. Kuzan even helped Clyde hone his fighting potential by teaching him muay thai boxing. As time went on the two carried out more assignments, they discussed their ideals. Each considered desserting H.I.V.E. in favor of turning over a new leaf. This idealistic and romantisized notion would not be true as fate had other plans for the already misfortunate student.

A few days before their next assignment, Clyde began noticing strange behavioral changes. Clyde's partner was acting rather cold, and not in the temperature way. Everytime Clyde would approach the ice meta, he would be shunned. Finally the day came. The duo was sent to complete a mission in the icy archepeligo of Svalbard in the dead of winter. The two became caught in terrifying snowstorm. Clyde had no idea how to deal with the weather. The young swordsman's partner was a different story. Kuzan was oddly calm and collected. Clyde knew that Kuzan was unaffected by the murderous and unforgiving cold, but something didn't seem right. Clyde felt like he was being lead somewhere. Finally, the blizzard seemed to reach its zenith. Clyde shouted through the merciless storm to his partner that they needed to get to shelter immediately. It was impossible though; Kuzan was lost. The meta then turned on his partner and two then engaged in a fight to the death.

Clyde was caught off guard and outmatched. Kuzan won with barely any challenge. The ice meta then left his partner to die under a pile of snow. With the odd stacked against him, it seemed like that was where Clyde would die. In his time of dying, the swordsman met with Death for a brief moment in her personified form. The reason for her appearance was to explain to Clyde what was going to happen. She told the swordsman that it wasn't his time to die. Clyde later woke up in an emergency room of an unknown hospital. He later learned that he had been rescued by the Opperman Corporation. At first, Clyde was thankful, but he soon took back the thought as he was forced to undergo inhumane experiments.

During his time being experimented on, Clyde was put through a program to turn him into one of many candidate for Project Geist, a sort of superhuman program. To do this, Clyde's body needed to conditioned so that he performed at peak human levels. He already had the body of a well trained athlete, but his low pain tolerance was something that needed to be fixed. The scientists in charge injected Clyde with an experimental serum to cure him of his glass jaw. The serum was a remarkable success, granting Clyde with an abnormally high pain tolerance. The swordsman was able to withstand numerous torture tests with no break, aside from the intervals to the next kind of torture. As soon as Clyde's body was ready once more, he was inducted into Project Geist.

Project Geist, a program designed to create a robotic exoskeleton to improve the performance of people already considered supersoldier material. The exoskeleton would only function if the user's body were at peak physical conditions. Clyde was put into one the company's prototype suits. Testing showed to very promising as the company already began thinking of way to amass large sums of money. Two ideas were to be used as a way to combat metahumans, while the latter was the more profitable, selling to the highest bidder. However, the head scientist in charge of Project Geist had a moment conscience and realized that the suit he created shouldn't be used for greed. The scientist helped Clyde escape the control of the Opperman Corporation and run away. In return for his help, the scientist made Clyde promise him that he wouldn't use the suit for unscrupulous activity.

Clyde fled overseas and took refuge in Osaka, Japan. There, he was treated as an outcast among the big city and its inhabitants. Clyde lived for a short time as vagrant, stealing or taking handouts when he could to survive. It wasn't until he wandered into an alleyway and intervened in the sexual assault of a young woman. After rescuing the woman, she thanked Clyde and revealed herself to be Ren Ikehara, the daughter of a wealthy businessman in charge a of large technology corporation.

Backstory

It's been ten years since the passing of the Cultural Exchange Between Species Bill was passed. Since then, monsters, or as the politically correct term goes, extra-species, have peacefully gotten along with humans. Many advances have been made, though some things are still going slow. Inter-species marriage was just allowed in some countries. However, not so much in the good ol' US of A. Things have been slow. But that's not to say crime hasn't been on the rise. With the peaceful relations between humans and extra-species continues to thrive, so too does crime; There have been accounts of some co-mingling with extra-species and humans crime, creating rather dangerous and tricky predicaments. Humans aren't allowed to harm extra-species and vice-versa. There were specials squad made up to handle these sort of affairs, but criminals have gotten smarter. In turn, so have we. Where there was MON (Monsters of Neuro) there is now MIU (Monster Investigations Unit)
