=== In-Game History ===

Years ago, before Paragon City, even before the Roman Empire, there were gods and dieties on this earth that were as accessible as anyone else. Sometimes, those gods bore children with mortal people. Phaeton was one such man.
 
  
−
Born the son of a mortal woman and the Greek god Apollo, Phaeton always believed that he was a cut above the rest.  Knowing early on that his father lived on Mount Olympus gave him a sense of pride and, to a certain extent, arrogance that surpassed those around him. He made claims that one day, he too would rise to the level of godhood his father enjoyed, and that those around him were not as important as he.
 
−
 
−
On one particular day, Phaeton was attacked by several schoolmates who were tired of his claims. The leader of the group, Cyrrus, spat in his face and told him that he was a liar, that no god would ever father such a pathetic person.

Embittered, Phaeton decided to make the trek to see his father to find proof of his heritage.  After many months of travel, he came to a temple dedicated to his father, where he said a prayer and was greeted by Apollo himself.  Apollo, sensing his son's distress, offered him anything he wished for to prove that he was truly the Sun god's child. "Give me the Sun to drive across the sky for a single day," said Phaeton. Apollo was aghast, knowing the danger Phaeton was putting himself and the world. However, he relented, knowing the child would fail, but also deciding that he could use the event as a way to teach his son.

Phaeton, exactly as Apollo thought, was unable to drive the Sun's chariot properly, and caused great devastation across the world. If Phaeton drove the stallions too high, the world cracked and shifted with the freezing lands. If he drove too close, that ice would instantly explode in flames and everything burned as strongly as hell itself. On Mount Olympus, Zeus saw what was happening, and threw a thunderbolt at Phaeton, destroying the chariot and severely wounding the youth. Apollo picked the youth up and, admonishing him for such a grandiose request, offered him a chance at redemption. Choosing to accept, Phaeton was sent to study with Hephaestus, the god of metal work.  After many years of understanding the principles of fire and machinations, Phaeton was informed that he would be spending his time in the city of heroes, Paragon City, where he would slowly train himself to think of others before all else, and to discover his modesty once again.

After the near-destruction of the earth, Phaeton became a far more humble and serious man, speaking only when he has something to say and choosing his words carefully. He is now sincerely concerned about those around him, and careful to keep his pride in check. There are moments when his anger reveals itself; pray you are not next to him when such a moment occurs.

−
Phaeton's powers are not his own--they are the results of mystical technology handed down by Apollo. With more time spent learning about living for others and defending against evil, Apollo grants his son more abilities. Eventually, it is Apollo's hope that Phaeton will join him on Mount Olympus.

Phaeton: Paragon of Heroics

Phaeton, Fire/Devices Blaster

Background

Real Life History

Phaeton is a character created in May of 2004 as a part of the supergroup Sanctum. As a part of the SG's efforts at creating the perfect team, I developed a Fire Blast / Devices Blaster, which was specifically designed to be balanced by the rest of the team.

In September of 2004, the team disbanded, citing real life problems. I resigned my City of Heroes account, and went on to play other games. In November of 2005, I rejoined the game and found my character stored on the servers (Justice, where all my characters are), still at level 15. Since then, he has grown to his current level, and can be found either playing with his supergroup, The Tempest Legion, or with his friends at Justice Radio.

Ingame, I can be contacted at the Global Chat Handle "@Phaeton". If you are interested in teaming, please send a tell before sending the team request--I traditionally ignore blind invites.
