History:

Soldier Blue was first called Type-Blue, the origin of the Mu phenomenon. There were no cases of psychic/psionic powers before him, and the boy he was before his power was unlocked is lost.

At the ages of 14/15, by order of the computerized law of Superior Domination, all humans are subjected to a psychological examination, designed to streamline and standardize the memories and expectations of all humankind. Childhood memories are blotted out and replaced with general feelings of nostalgia and scripted notions of family and friends, with just faint recollections of the truth within the haze. A standard dream of returning to Terra (Earth), the homeland of mankind, is implanted in every person to help motivate them to engaging in their future careers with zeal.

While undergoing this process, the boy who would become Type-Blue had a negative reaction, and the erasure of his memories prompted a violent, psionic outburst. He was taken into military custody and spent an undisclosed amount of time in a research facility on a moon called Ganymede, where he and a collection of ever-increasing cases of the mutation - soon called "Mu" - underwent countless exams and sometimes fatal treatments.

It became too much to bear, and Type-Blue set off one more massive explosion of power. It triggered a chain-reaction of destruction that destabilized the facility and even the moon itself. He and the surviving Mu children fled, escaping by commandeering one of the many space-faring ships still standing.

During this time, constantly on the run from human authorities, Type-Blue became Soldier Blue - a title given to him by his peers, as he was not only the first, but most powerful Mu, and he took it upon himself to guard and guide the small collective to safety.

Mu and Blue in particular do not age the same way humans do: Blue himself looks no older than 20 and has been so for more than 200 years. More than that, their population grew: As they wandered the many colonized planets and satellites mankind thrived on, they found other cases of Mu power springing up. Blue specifically worked to find and rescue them, bringing even children as young as 3 onboard to protect and raise them before they could be detected and exterminated.

During these years, Blue found a project of human growth engineered entirely computers - people grown without any outside human samplings. One of the resulting bodies was a blind girl - Physis - who had a capacity for fortune telling and was deemed a failure. While she wasn't a Mu in composition or full powerset, Blue was invested in her from the onset, having seen a pristine and clear vision of Terra that was unlike the one pre-scripted into his and others' minds. He stole her away and brought her to the ship, erasing her traumatic memories and asserting to his comrades that she was a Mu just like them. He called her his 'goddess,' his beacon for a new mission to find a way to return to Terra and start a life far away from Superior Domination's control.

The problem with this mission was twofold: First, no one knew how to get there. The location of Terra was a deeply-held secret within the human government, and they would risk persecution and execution if they were to try and infiltrate and find out.

Second, Blue's life was waning. Between the exertions of rescue missions and the long lapse of years, he was very certain he'd die before ever reaching their destination. This meant he needed a successor - someone as strong, if not stronger, than himself that could protect and lead the Mu to Terra. He found that successor in Jomy Marcus Shin, a boy whose own power signature matched his own: Type-Blue.

After reaching out to Jomy, sharing visions of him and Physis, Blue rushed in to rescue Jomy and plead his case. It didn't go over well, and after a tantrums, Jomy was returned to his childhood home so he could discover the lies of Superior Domination himself.

Igniting his psionic powers, Jomy was soon pursued by military planes as he tried to escape. Blue once again set out, casing the boy out into the upper atmosphere, and made an aggressive bid for Jomy's aid by sharing with him the memories of his origin and the plight of the Mu. Doing so wiped out Blue's remaining stamina, and he plunged back to the planet unconscious, safely ferried back to the Mu by Jomy.

The toll the act took upon Blue's body was so great that he fell unconscious for 15 years, during which time he had very limited capacity to telepathically interact with Jomy or those who visited his resting place. Jomy was Soldier now, and the journey to finding their way to Terra would begin in earnest through him while Blue lay dormant.

Within those years, Jomy took a risk to try and appeal to humanity up front by projecting a psionic message to humans near them. So terrifying the intrusion was (as humans outside of the government were not informed that Mu were real), that the reaction was not to broker dialogue, but instead created a swell of fear-based hatred. This made the actions of the government trying to hunt down and exterminate the Mu a more public affair, and so their movements were no longer covert. The Mu had to rush to find safety, and they did so by finding a failed colony on a planet they came to call Nazca.

Nazca was a brief refuge from endless travel and hiding, and soon many of the young Mu found themselves attached to something of a home. Families began to spring up, and attachments to the land created a divide between the elders of the Ganymede disaster and the children of Nazca. Before any resolution could be made, humanity discovered their settlement: A human named Keith Anyan became captive to the Mu when his scouting ship was drawn to the planet, and Physis soon discovered he was like her - an artificial human.

The threat of the humans coming to take Keith back and wreak havoc on Nazca triggered something very peculiar: One of the children of Nazca, a toddler named Tony, came before the captured Keith and unleashed a sudden violent burst of psionic energy in hopes to kill him. It failed, and Keith took both the child and Physis hostage in a bid to make an escape from the Mu. Physis' peril is what finally rouses Blue from sleep, and he wakes and moves in time to confront Keith and save Tony...at the cost of Physis being held hostage.

After Jomy recovers Physis from Keith and the human rescue crew, Keith leaves...only to return with a world-ending battalion of weaponry and soldiers. A super weapon called Meggido, capable of firing a high-intensity beam to destabilize and destroy Nazca, is fired, and Blue sends himself out into space to intercept it with the remainder of his willpower alongside Jomy and some of the Type-Blue children of Nazca. Their combined efforts manage to dilute the beam, but not enough to stop imminent destruction -- only time enough to evacuate as many as they can.

To facilitate the rescue, Blue advances onboard Meggido and starts to sabotage it from the inside. He is confronted by Keith Anyan, who shoots his eye out and is set to kill him outright before Blue unleashes one last burst of energy - an echo of his explosive display on Ganymede - and destroys Meggido.

And himself.

Personality:

+ Compassionate: His strong empathy, tied to his powers, gives him a great deal of compassion for people - even his enemies. He seeks to understand those around him and relate to them. It shows the most when duty forces him to give Jomy his mantle, knowing full well it's too much for a 14-year old to bear; Blue hates that he had to do so, and wishes he were strong enough to carry the burdens himself.

+ Hopeful: Even though he is struggling against a system out to kill him and everyone like him, Blue maintains hope that they can find a way to not only survive, but thrive peacefully. It's that hope that he holds onto not just for himself, but for those relying on him.

+ Attentive: Blue has to balance the wants and needs of so many against the threat of extermination; even so, he tries his best to take his time to make the best decisions he can, relying not only on his own intuition, but those of the people he loves. This makes him a good listener to those he cares about. With the help of his powers, he tries to key into the concerns of his people and work to resolve them.

- Self-sacrificing (to a fault): Blue would rather himself die than risk a collaboration that could put others into harm's way, even if their resolve is just as strong (if not more) than his own. It's a consequence of being the lone Soldier for so long.

- Biased: Blue is a guardian of his people, so most any circumstance he's in has him thinking of their needs over any others. He has a biased perspective of humankind based on his centuries of oppression, even though he knows the root cause is in the machine-run Superior Domination system. It's a bias bolstered by his fellow elder survivors of Ganymede who surround him, and is why Jomy trying to reach out and broker peace with mankind is such a landmark notion.

-Reactive (vs Proactive): Instead of taking the initiative on many of his hopes and ideas, Blue has been more of a reactive leader rather than a proactive one - moving from crisis to crisis instead of taking time to reflect and improve.
