Hope it's not too late to join! I have my character pitch here. His name is Kent-Alan Ryan, and he used to be a cynical, unattractive school boy, but he was one of many test subjects chosen for an experiment by a corporate business. Their goal was to unlock the true potential of the human brain, and they would achieve this by infecting the patient with a biologically engineered worm that meshes with the brain and alters and improves certain parts of it. In most subjects, the worm took control over their brains and they mostly went comatose, but Kent-Alan was one of the few to show over 80% effectiveness with the worm, becoming one with it as it unlocked his human potential. He gained psychic abilities, became more handsome and developed a more confident, arrogant personality. Eventually he escaped the facility undetected due to his powers, and now lives alone. The name I have for his (anti?)hero persona is Pathogen. Of course this idea has some unanswered questions, which I'll fill later if it gets accepted, but for now it's just a pitch.
