I've been fighting off his arrival for months now - and now that I've gotten rid of Stephen, there was really no more fighting it. Meet Erol McIntyre, Samir's older (and only)cousin - which in the long run, makes him also possibly descended from John Mitchell, the vampire.
His world of origin is that of an Original game that I once created, but in the end, it's a mostly apocalyptic (even post-apocalyptic in certain places) world where the likes of Samir Marcus and erol McIntyre (mutants) are hunted down, often experimented on and yadda yadda. The cousins are soldiers, but Samir fared through the whole torture business a bit better than Erol has.
Erol's powers are mostly earth-based, but they're all in his app. If you want to live, don't get him mad. If you do get him mad, go fetch Samir and throw him at Erol. It'll be okay.
And if you thought Samir was wooden, then oh boy, you're in for a big surprise.
