Overdraw

A quote? Let me think... Wait! Recording?! Official Public Profile!? You didn't start did you! Ah!"

-- Overdraw

Ok, we'll circle back around to the quote. Ok? Huh, about myself. Let's I was a scrawny guy for the longest time. Oh? Uh... yea, Literally. But after I first turned into Overdraw I realized that she was who I wanted to be. So right now I'm doing my best to pass. Growing out my hair, dressing as cute as I can, uh... wearing... more layers than I... uh... this is already too much information. But frankly I prefer to be the tall, powerful Overdraw more. Long blonde hair, tall, a powerful but pretty body, badass magic plate mail in Blue and Gold, tall, a bow and magic arrows, purple glowing magic fire wings, tall. What? Oh, I said tall twice didn't I?

Backstory

Where do I begin. So I was born... uh... well... a boy. I was 'gifted' as a kid, went to special classes. Very good at tests, I did pretty well all things considered. Friends, bullies, rivals, lovers, all that growing up stuff in high school... some of which I would like to never think about again. I then got my dream job, Programing for Sharkworks: You know... the Swords and Sorcery franchise. Yea, they are the people that make the games. Well, most of the games that are popular stateside anyway. And I worked my ass off... It took me a long time to realize I was miserable. Due to a villain attack my work was closed for a few days unexpectedly. And fate had plans for me that day.

So I had won free tickets to a museum out in Milwaukee. I hadn't planned on going, its a bit more than a hike, but with a few days off work I decided that I might as well take a vacation. There was a traveling exhibit of magic artifacts while I was there, and, because I couldn't stop working, I started taking notes for inspiration. That is when... I think his name was Max Magician. Small time super villain showed up with magical portal hat, which was kinda cool, and a gun... which was substantially less cool. Given how most of the objects were cursed he ordered us, his hostages, to load them into the portal hat. That's when I came into contact with the arrow. It apparently was owned by the witch Anui in the 1500's, but given she was also allegedly thousands of years old... who knows how old it is. Anyway, when I picked it up, I felt an urge to stab myself with it. Not like... normal self harm feeling. Like it was my only way out- ok that... that sounds bad now that I say it out loud. Anyway I followed my instinct and jammed it in my arm and.... ooooh boy did it hurt. Note, kids at home, do not put magic arrow heads into your body. I still have the scar. First time was the hardest but now whenever I power-up, I don't even feel it. Eventually I emerged with this beast of a body. Max didn't stand a chance. I was able to pin him down til a hero response could arrive. Now, since the arrowhead is bound to me, the people at the... oh goodness... Their acronym spells 'Arcane'... the Arcane Ritual Contingency and Neutralization Agency... yea... that's it. They told me to keep it. 

After that I had a little bit of experimentation and self discovery. I was happy as overdraw... and I thought it was just because of that battle ready body and magical embellishments... but after some time figuring it out, that is part of it... but it went deeper. That's when I picked out my new name... uh... civilian name. the name Overdraw was suggested by my hero agency. 

Yea... hero agency. Right, that might be unique to my universe. So the way the business works is hero agencies get funding from the government and donations and stuff to organize and register heroes, and give them the authority uphold the law. Pay us? Yea, well... sorta. The compensation is not really enough to live on, so most heroes accept sponsorships. Just selling our likeness for enough money to live a good life. Conflict of interest? I... don't think so... I mean... my sponsor has a deal with me to put my smile on toothpaste and my likeness on an action figure. Its really cool too. The bow is molded into the hand but it let them put a little spring loaded launcher in it. The wings are all one piece of clear plastic. The test copy I got had them snap right off. I hope they fixed that for retail.

Oh! Good point! I'm off topic again. Not too much left to say though I guess. I joined Mad Town, the big downtown Madison hero agency. Its practically my home town. I'm doing good, I have plans to go national soon even. I've gotten a lot of offers from national agencies but... I don't know. I'd miss Wild Edge, and Spotlight, and the Captain, and... Well... strange as it sounds, my rogues gallery. Most of them aren't that bad deep down. Maybe some day they will change teams. Sylbaburn could totally make the jump to hero if he tried.

Personality

Oh, I mean, aside from oversharing, I... Its weird. I want to say that I'm a shy but sweet person but I think that was just me before my transition. Ever since I became a magical badass hero the confidence boost has been REAL. I kinda run the gamut I guess... manic may be the word? My emotions basically swing wild. I just kinda... act. It takes a lot of self control to hold myself back. I think I was just so uncomfortable in my own skin I bottled up everything for a decade or so. It means I can no longer do that. I hit my limit. I am now genuinely me! I like to have a good time and pleasant conversation. I like quiet stargazing and loud karaoke. I guess I just want to have fun. I do take my work seriously though. I will save people in trouble, even if they aren't great people. I don't let my heart get in the way of my job. Sometimes that's not pleasant. I should... probably stop talking.
