My true origins are unknown, yet several rumors persist.
One states that I came from the Northwest, born of a great clamshell.
Another claims that I was begat by a union of stellar gasses in a distant galaxy.
But the one most people believe, and I am one, say that I was originally brought forth by an ancient clan of Cave Bears and raised in a time when all beasts and men could change their form. Truly there was no difference between species other than their own perceptions, which, occasionally, they decided to change.
I experimented with many forms, Buffalo, Orcas, wolf. But of them my favorite was that of the great Bald Eagle. I spent many seasons with the beasts of the world, playing, and telling stories. I got to know many other creatures, still known to people of the world today, like Coyote and Raven, Ra, Horus and even Odin. Most of them were fun at parties but you would not want to invite them into your home!
Eventually I began to work with others chronicling their lives on the walls of caves, the sides of rocks-anywhere an image could be made. Especially where they could be seen and shared by others for many years. Now, drawing and painting on cave walls in the form of a Bear is quite hard. Just you try and hold a paint slathered stick in a paw! So I decided to change, pretty much permanently, into the form of a human being. I liked human females better anyway. Though they can crush your heart they can't crush your skull with one swipe of their forearm!
Today I remember nothing of this life as a shape shifting creature and, despite all of it's challenges and troubles, I'm forging on ahead as a man, trying to live a good and happy life. I live in Winnipeg Mb Canada, with my Wife children and cat in a crappy apartment with loud neighbours.
I currently work at a cable/internet/phone company nearby while trying to sleep as much as I can.
