Good evening everyone,

First let me begin by saying that I have yet to post (albeit once or twice "in the beginning") and feel that I am long overdue. Who am I, you may ask? Nobody. A man whose teenage years were defined by a game which we all hold dear. A man who, upon watching the smoke rise, came upon the "CoT" Kickstarter and backed it wholeheartedly (which actually only translates to about $75). I remember this day as it was the very same day that my son was born and already I had begun to see he and I playing together (and my assigning him corny "dad-joke-esque" sidekick names). The CoX universe, however cliche it sounds, offered me an escape from a less than desirable childhood. It let me fly and become invulnerable as I created these uncanny alter egos. Many years have passed since then; I enlisted and traveled the world for what is going on 7 years, but still, I find myself looking fondly upon those memories. As I sit here and write this, my son is 3 years, 4 months, and rapidly approaching an age where he will be capable of playing with me, but not to escape an unbearable reality. No. We will play as father and son and create our own little universe where anything is possible. He can experience, like I did, how it feels to create a superhero (or villain) and fly.

I am not really sure why I am writing this. Perhaps I seek to become a more active participant in this community. Or maybe the sense of nostalgia got the better of me. Either way, there it is: a synopsis of my life. I eagerly await this game and look forward to playing with all of you on launch day.

Respectfully,

Photuris

P.S. My wife, who has shown no interest in video games in the six years we have been married (and 11 that I have known her) says to me, "well what about me? Can I play?" to which I respond, "of course honey, we will need a healer!". With the addition of my daughter who is almost two, we have the makings of a pretty sound fireteam!
