Galen Lord is an Initiate at the ? training facility and current candidate for the Order.

Early Life

As with almost all in the Lord bloodline, Galen Lord was born to be a member of the Order. The scion of a family noted for producing near precise matches to the genetic compatibility test, Galen was no different. Already the son of a younger paramour turned second wife, with the Lord patriarch already looking for the future third, and raised predominantly in boarding schools, neither he nor the family were hesitant in separating.

The psychological evaluations, like genetic compatibility, were passed with similar ease thanks to years of grooming and coaching. Any concerns were well addressed and buried long before, the Lord prestige and wealth expecting no other outcome. With a Geolink recording of goodbye, Galen's guardianship was given to the Consortium the day before his sixteenth birthday.

As an Initiate

Powers and Skills

Galen is an Initiate of the Order and has only received the first injection of Compound 36, requiring two additional doses to make the enhancements permanent. However, with the first dosage he has the normal complement of abilities granted by the compound:

  • Enhanced strength (Range is generally 1-4 tons, potentially more)
  • Enhanced speed (Range is generally between 35-75 mph)
  • Enhanced stamina (Running and sprinting long distances for several miles at a time is possible)
  • Enhanced durability (Bones and skin are resistant to kinetic damage)
  • Enhanced senses (Includes sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell)
  • Enhanced healing factor (bruises and light cuts and scrapes heal almost instantaneously, deeper cuts and puncture wounds can heal in as little as a few hours, critical injuries generally in days)
  • Enhanced agility (Olympic level athlete is the standard)
  • Resistance to aging

Like all members of the Order, he can further activate the inert Compound 36 in his body to augment the aforementioned abilities even further. There is great risk involved in doing so, as pushing beyond an acceptable limit aggravates any side-effects of the Compound, increases the possibility of addiction, and the risk of becoming an an Aberration.

Despite being an Initiate, Galen has shown aptitude for a specialized Compound 36 capability likely due to his family's uncanny genetic compatibility. Through activation and intense focus, along with varying degrees of discomfort and pain, Galen is able to alter his physical form within basic humanoid limits. 'Shifting' of basic facial features, to include eye and hair pigmentation, have been recorded. A notable side effect from activation of this specialized talent is a slow down in healing capabilities, further tests are being conducted to assess. Instructors note that this ability is still in its infancy but developing quickly as the Initiate's control and familiarity with C36 use matures.
