Brian
Brian spent his early years learning the skills of animation. One day, while walking to school, he passed by a donut shop. There, shining in its window was a glorious display of freshly fried donuts, gently glazed and still glistening in their warmth. He became so distracted by them, that he failed to notice the giant puddle of radioactive waste right in front of him. As you can guess, Brian took a stumble. After a few minutes he slowly got up, shaken by the events, but otherwise seemingly unharmed. The next day, he quickly discovered that the things he drew came alive. From then on, Brian vowed to become a super hero. He uses this job as his secret cover.
Michael
Michael is not of our world. He comes from another realm far, far away, woven in the fabrics of space and time. A world where dragons roam the skies freely, knights save damsels in distress, and magic is as common as pennies. However, the existence of this place is threatened by a darkness, a mysterious entity bent on destroying everything. Michael was nothing but a young lad when he was captured by the dark creatures, and kept hoisted in a cage. Prior to being caught, he was a knight in training. One evening, while the creatures were away, a firefly flew in through a crack and whispered, “I will help you.” Michael, believing he’d gone mad, said nothing. Suddenly, the firefly emitted a burst of light that quickly consumed all of the darkness and transported him away and onto Earth. Since that time, he’s acquired a job teaching.
