When Chizn was only three years old, his mother took him on a trip to visit Center, the great metropolis of Phase World. He loved everything about it- the machines, the exotic people, and all the wonders that three galaxies full of planets could provide. The decision to take that trip would haunt his mother for the rest of her life, and (unfortunately) permanently alter the trajectory of Chizn’s forever.

He never did find out exactly what the beastie was. Presumably, some kind of demon or other supernatural monster. It was definitely a monster, he remembers that- tall (to a child’s perspective, anyway), and chock full of all manner of claws and fangs and other dangerous-looking things. It came through one of the rifts in Gateland, somehow evaded the security measures in place, and went on a brief rampage through Level 2 before the Prometheans were able to kill or subdue it (Chizn never found out about that, either). To most people, the incident was a minor footnote on the Center security blotter at that time. To Chizn, it was a trauma that he still lives with to this day.

In the initial moments of the attack, Gateland was plunged into chaos. People screaming, and fleeing the terror even as the Prometheans struggled to get their forces through the crowd and put the menace down. Someone slammed into Chizn and his mother, separated them. The poor child was terrified- it screamed and cried and couldn’t find his mother. Perhaps the creature was drawn by this screaming- plenty of such things enjoy the tender taste of young flesh (or a young mind). Regardless, it hurdled through the crowd and soon found itself standing over a bawling Promethean infant.

Nobody, not even the official Promethean reports, is quite sure what happened next. Some sort of psychic explosion centered on the monster, likely driven by the premature manifestation of young Chizn’s psychic powers. At least, that was the operating theory. What is known is that when the dust cleared, the monster had fled and Chizn was lying on the ground in a coma. While it didn’t take long for the Prometheans to apprehend the monster after that, it was too late to do Chizn any good.

The Promethean child remained in his coma for three months, devastating bereaved his family. When he came out of it, he seemed different- more withdrawn, more serious. At the time, this was believed to be a perfectly understandable reaction to his trauma, and with time and counseling Chizn was more or less able to return to his former self. Or so they thought.

The reality of Chizn’s situation was more complicated. The psychic explosion had indeed been caused by the unfocused manifestation of his psychic powers. A second, invisible effect had been a mind bond linking Chizn with the monster. The sudden dumping of a lifetime of horrific memories into Chizn’s child brain overwhelmed him; while the memories were all gone something else had been left behind. Something twisted and inhuman- small enough and buried deep enough that even the most skilled psychic healers couldn’t locate and eradicate every trace of it. Eventually, once it was safe, it began to fester and grow. It’s entirely possible the experience had a similar effect on the monster, and it withdrew from Chizn to lick its psychic wounds and recover its equilibrium. It’s also possible that the monster realized what had happened to the young Promethean, and decided that leaving Chizn alive would yield more fun over the long-term. It is an open question whether it could have predicted what Chizn would become.

Chizn’s life went on. Outwardly, he gave little sign of the darkness that had taken root. However, his psychic abilities (raw and untrained though they were) continued to manifest after the incident, and it quickly became clear that Chizn was among the (relatively) few Prometheans possessed of tremendous psychic power. His family was thrilled- not just at his apparent recovery, but at what it had unlocked. They pushed him to join the ranks of the elite phase adepts- a position of prestige and honor for any Promethean. And though Chizn wasn’t terribly interested in that career per se, he did feel a strong pull towards Center. This was as good a way to get there as any.

Several years passed, and Chizn eventually came of age and was shipped off for adept training. His psychic powers continued to blossom, on top of a formidable intellect, and on paper Chizn sailed through his training. In reality, those years were some of the most difficult of the young Promethean’s life. He was bored with his martial training. As he had matured, he had grown increasing isolated from his peers- he had developed a reputation for being eccentric (to put it kindly), and by the time Chizn joined the ranks of the Phase Adepts his fellows widely regarded him as incredibly creepy and best avoided if at all possible. Not that he really minded- Chizn had grown bored with other Prometheans. He was ready to get out into Center and see what else the megaverse had to offer.

And so it was, for a time. Chizn was assigned to work Center security. He came into his full phase adept powers. But he didn’t really rise up the ranks- his unsettling demeanor had not gone unnoticed by his superiors, and it was felt that more responsibility for the young adept might prove more of a curse than a blessing for the powers that be. Years passed. Chizn’s career stagnated, and largely focused on law enforcement and petty crime (such as it is on Phase World). As more of his peers advanced, left him behind, and then quietly shuffled him closer and closer to the back bench he grew even more isolated from his people. His boredom got worse, and Chizn began channeling that into independent studies. He found himself increasingly drawn to the medical field, and made something of a hobby of biology and xenology that slowly began to approximate expertise. Bolstered by his psionic powers, Chizn began to style himself as something of a physician.

Meanwhile- it is a testament to the strange culture and laws of Phase World that ‘back bench’ for phase adepts also included murder investigations. Obviously, one could not run a vast port city and allow killers to openly walk the streets, so particularly when a citizen or longtime resident of Center was killed at least a show of an investigation was required. Many would grow despondent at effectively being reduced to a show pony for the Promethean city state- but Chizn quickly came to love this work. Because he loved examining the bodies.

Using his psychic powers to make up for his lack of forensic training, and his self-taught medical skills, Chizn actually assembled a decent track record for solving these kinds of cases. The results might have been even more impressive, but he frequently lost interest in his cases once the autopsy had been completed. Nonetheless, his superiors took note of this aptitude and, hopeful that they’d finally found a use for the misanthropic Promethean, began assigning him more of that sort of work. Chizn was so dedicated that he began lobbying to take a more active role in investigating the deaths of travelers and transients- non-citizens of Center with whose murders the Prometheans typically did not bother. His superiors were surprised, but did not object.

It was several years before the rest of the adept corps clued in to what really was going on. Chizn was generating an increasing number of bodies himself- aliens from all manner of species, dissected and autopsied with meticulous (some might say obsessive) notes on the subject. He’d turned part of his quarters into a lab of horrors. Only a chance object read on contraband smuggled in by one of the victims revealed the true culprit, prompting an investigation into Chizn followed promptly by his arrest.

Chizn thought it was all over at that point, and though part of him was relieved (even jubilant) at no longer having to maintain the façade, he was mostly irritated at being unable to complete his research. He fully expected a death sentence for his actions. A tribunal was assembled. The Prometheans could not tolerate one of their own- especially one of the elite phase adepts- murdering people in cold blood. Execution was very much on the table, until the second-stagers intervened. They informed the tribunal that Chizn was going to do something that no Promethean had ever done before, and that their species would be better for it. The Promethean could not be executed.

Since no first-stage Promethean would dare countermand one of their evolved brethren, they gave Chizn the harshest penalty they could without killing him. Expulsion from the ranks of phase adepts, and banishment from all of Phase World save for Center itself. Chizn could not believe his good luck when he found out. He was informed of his sentence, released, and sent out into Center to find his own way, and do whatever it was the second-stagers thought he was going to do. He couldn’t keep the crazed grin from his face, and anyone who saw it promptly crossed the street.

Chizn spent weeks thinking about the second-stagers' words. He concluded that they expected him to return some sort of knowledge or experience to his people- but what? It must be somewhere out there. No doubt suited to his interests and talents. That settled it, then. He would see the worlds, and learn all he could about their inhabitants, in the name of science! He invested in some minor medical equipment, and a digital recorder for his lab notes. Deciding his name was so alien that it might prompt discomfort in his subjects (and either oblivious to or uncaring of the other aspects of his demeanor that others might find disconcerting), he adopted the alias “Dr. White,” reasoning that such a simple name (and fun pun on his coloration) would endear his subjects to him. At least, long enough to get the knowledge he wanted. Quickly realizing that his old stomping grounds on Center, and the watchful eyes of the Prometheans, were ill-suited to this line of work, White began looking for a ship on which he could serve as crew.
