...I never really told you anything about my past, did I?

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

NEGATIVE.

[hackeralastair]

Short story? I tried to wipe out the human race once. Well. I was assisting someone who was going to reset humanity...destroy all the wicked, evil elements and start over. Needless to say, we failed, but instead of being killed for it or permanently destroyed, I was allowed to live and escape.

WOULD YOU REPEAT YOUR ACTIONS?
FROM START TO FINISH.

[hackeralastair]

Exactly that? No. Not now that I know the man I followed ruined my life and manipulated me.

But I don't know if I'm able to be a decent guy. Even after all the things people said at Christmas.

DECENT.
A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE.

YOU ARE FINE AS YOU ARE.

...all right, you got me there. I'm downright law-abiding compared to what I used to be. But I can't be a good-guy and I kinda resent all these flowery heroes trying to tell me I can if I just believe in myself hard enough.

BE WHAT YOU WANT.
HERO. VILLAIN. WORDS: DO NOT OFFER DEFINITION.
