Ari Browne mythical legend has it that Ari Browne was the lovechild of the Cracken and Zeus, this came about one night when zeus and haides had a fight; so to get back at haides zeus made love to haides creation...the cracken, and Ari Browne was born. he had an average childhood when one day he went and took his 3 headed Sabre tooth tiger for a walk (that he tamed), and slipped into a mighty crevice in the earth, with no one to help him he eventually got frozen alive. Centuries later a layer of the earths crust was reopened when america were testing there first nuclear bombs, and out crawled the defrosted Ari Browne, scared and alone, he quickly learnt the skill of master wizardry. |
|||
Once this vital skill was mastered he fabricated a illusion life to live in where he himself wouldn't know his origin or where he came from, he would have childhood memories and parents and friends like a normal boy...but he is no normal boy....to this day you can still see traces of his wizardry, like in his dances and off dial trip outs....! |
|||
it is said that at the age of 42 all memories and powers will come back to him, and then he will take over the universe and change it as he sees fit....on the planet trowl he is actually there god, and there is a prophecy that one day he will free them from themselves with a dance creation so insanely awesome it can stop time itself...!!! |
