Hi Spyken! Thanks for voting on my characters! I appreciate the feedback.

I'm a bit confused on a couple of points of Tranq's vote: Please let me know if you have ang andwers to my questions.
 * If it's good that he's normal and has no tragic experiences or the like, I'm not sure what backstory you're looking for that explains why he is how he is. I'm not doubting that there could be one; I'm just not sure what backstory explains the actions of a normal guy. (Also, if you could check the page of Tranq's alternate-universe counterpart and see if that gives the sort of backstory that you're looking for in Tranq's page, that would be helpful!)
 * I don't have a particular backstory for why he uses shields, as I'm not sure if he needs one. However, I do know that he uses weapons at all to compensate for being a non-superpowered individual in a world where a lot of the people have superpowers, and that shields make sense for him being someone who would prefer to defend rather than attack in a fight (although this fighting role might be something that he wouldn't have thought about before). Does this answer you question about the shield usage?

Thanks!
