Apex Prime
Background:
Royce Becker was born in mid-1946, nine months after the end of World War II, to a returning Canadian soldier and his wife in rural Alberta, Canada. From birth, it was apparent that Royce was different—his white blood cells replicated perfectly, granting him a slow but complete regeneration factor, effectively making him functionally ageless. However, in a world unprepared for the rise of Extras, his genetic deviation marked him as a freak, an anomaly, something unnatural. Rather than being revered or accepted, he was ostracized and feared.
At the time, the Eugenics Foundation, a powerful and sinister organization operating in Canada, lobbied for the forced sterilization and chemical castration of natural born superhumans, believing the metagene to be a contaminant to human purity. Royce, along with countless other early Extras, faced systemic abuse and discrimination.
At the age of 21, Royce was arrested after a bar altercation. Instead of jail, he was sent to an Extra Rehabilitation Hospital, a euphemism for an institution where Extras were experimented on, tortured, and dehumanized. For decades, he was subjected to horrific procedures, including chemical castration and multiple lobotomies. However, his slow regenerative ability undid the damage each time, leaving him in a perpetual state of suffering and recovery.
After years of torment, Royce escaped in 1972 when a storm, wildfires, and a power outage compromised the hospital’s security systems. Free but forever changed, he became a man consumed with hatred for humanity, believing that humans would never accept Extras and that only through force and domination could his people claim their rightful place as rulers of the world. He went underground, writing radical Extra-supremacist manifestos under a false identity, planting the seeds for what would become Apex Primacy.
By 1974, Royce Becker had fully transformed into Apex Prime, a masked figure who would lead the Extras who shared his anger, pain, and belief in their superiority. Over time, he built Apex Primacy into an underground movement, gathering followers from radicalized Extras, criminal elements, and supremacists who worshiped Extras as demigods. Today, he remains one of the most dangerous masterminds in history, waging a global war to subjugate humanity under Extra rule.
Personality:
Apex Prime is cold, calculating, and unwaveringly convinced of his own righteousness. He sees himself as humanity’s reckoning, a force of destiny, and a harbinger of evolution. His hatred for humanity is not a blind rage, but a deeply ingrained belief—he is convinced that humans will never accept Extras and that they must be ruled, not negotiated with.
To his followers, he is a prophet, a visionary, and a savior. To his enemies, he is a monster, a man who has used his suffering as justification to inflict the same upon others.
Despite his utter lack of mercy, Apex Prime is not needlessly cruel. He sees violence as a tool and believes in long-term, strategic warfare over brute force. However, he is known for fiery, inspirational speeches that stir his followers into action. His belief in Extra supremacy is unshakable, and he will stop at nothing to bring his vision of the future to life.
