C'mon, Heat! Fix things! :D

Quite a backstory there. One question: Toward the end, Takuya is mentioned as his parents' eldest son, but it doesn't mention anywhere else about siblings.

Looking forward to the rest! I have a theory about what's going on, but I won't spoil the suspense. ^_^

Toward the end, Takuya is mentioned as his parents' eldest son, but it doesn't mention anywhere else about siblings.

It actually does, but because this is so stupidly word-heavy, I'll forgive you for missing it. It's this passage:

By the time he was a teenager, Takuya had learned to deal with being psychic and could put up with the intrusions into his mind if he focused very hard on other things, like the ever-changing colors of his Tarot cards, or the drawings that his younger brother liked to do.

I know it's brief. In the next part the younger brother will be mentioned again. But yes, Takuya does have a brother younger than he by about 4 years by the name of Kanau. I used to have a sim of him waaaay way back in the day, but that neighborhood has since been retired. He's a lot more outgoing than Takuya. I haven't yet decided if he's also a mutant or not.

Suspense? I think you're probably imagining more suspense then there actually is. ^^;;

Ah, okay! I was trying to read this in the morning while getting ready and taking care of the kids, which is probably why I missed it. My bad! ^^;;

I love backstories and boy was this a long one. But I liked it!

I can't wait for the next part. Takuya is such a sweet person. I really hate for him to have to feel all this pain.

Great backstory, well done!
But why wants Takuya learn how to port himself? I thought he´s a flyer?

[iceraptoress]

He's a flyer now, but he started out as a teleporter. I didn't keep him as a teleporter for very long, because I discovered that I, as a player, hated teleporting. So I respec'd him and gave him flight instead. This story is to explain why he would have switched from teleporting to flight.
