Description This is Arc, one of the main characters of the comic I'm working on, "The Greening Wars". He's a hacker with a bone to pick with the gene-splicing cult that played scrabble with his genes. I'll let him tell you the rest.

I can't remember my own name.
I can't remember why I let The Greening make me like this.
Why I even joined The Greening in the first place. Probably something stupid.
That's what happens when you let a bunch of gene-splicing zealots tinker with your genes. Also stupid.
Most lanterns like me are lombotomized savants, basically a tesla coil radio on legs with an eidetic memory.
I got lucky, if you can call it that.
I just have a scrambled memory, with the sparklers thrown in free.
Because they screwed up, and more than they realize.
Because from what I can remember, I didn't volunteer for this.
Because I've escaped their cult.
Because I can still access the mindpool.
Because I can glimpse their plans.
There's only one thing I know for sure: They're not just a bunch of treehuggers.
They've got plans. Plans that don't include problems like me.
And they need to be stopped.

I really like Greening Wars and Arc is one of my favorite characters. Will you have story arc's for each individual member of the team, they don't have to be back stories however I think that considering the ambiguous back stories of some of the main cast a brief look at their personal pasts might be in order sometime in the future. Also I've been wondering what if their were set of twins that had been raised by the Greening all their life escaped the Greening because they just wanted to know what the outside world was like, feel free to use that however you wish Scorp.

Yep, all will be revealed in time, the characters pasts included- a little at a time. You're actually about to get some of your wish, oddly enough- this week we start learning more about Kyra and Cassie.

Interesting idea with the twins, too, might be one for the future... There's pair of characters coming up in a later plotline you might find interesting, also: not twins, and not escaped, but...well, you'll see. ^_^

Hadn't heard of Maximum Ride before now,
looks like an interesting series from what Wikipedia has to say,
goes a very different direction from the Greening Wars though.
Looks like the heros of that one would fit right in in the Greening.
Yeah, there are certain parallels to Wolverine with the whole
"amnesia"/escaped from lab thing on Arc's backstory,
the similarities kind of end there though; you'll see what I mean if you read the comic.
