A long time ago, your mother told you that you'd never get anything done with your life. That you'd only turn out to be just like your father, a chunk of irradiated meat. But then, when the King himself came to your town, calling for 1 fighter from each family, and father was too weak to go, you stepped up, and became a soldier.
You weren't very good, not by a long shot. You barely understood moving in a single direction, nonetheless to the diagonals, and even more nonetheless being able to move twice at the start. You were mocked, ridiculed at your training camp. "Jimpy Jimpy, what a Stimpy" they'd say, over and over and over and over. Of course, Stimpy in your society is a huge insult, so being called it repeatedly was quite infuriating.
Then, when your platoon just so happened to be flying around the area in which the lordling would enter the medium, it gave you a chance to be a big fighter. You didn't expect it, but your body changed too. Before, you were just uranium, now, your eyes are at the top of your head, you have large cheeks, your feet are webbed, and now you can teleport.
Teleportation, what an interesting side effect. You wonder how far it could be used.
