OVERALL
It was early June in the year 1992 that Astin was born. His name, deriving from Old English and Greek, was given to him by his mother. Astin, meaning a strong and trustworthy leader, and Apollo, meaning a beautiful youth -- also the God of music, poetry and healing in Greek mythology. His mother claimed that the name fit her son perfectly, and his father simply went along with it, just proud of the fact that his first born was a son. At first, Astin had the typical rich boy life. His father was a strong man with a firm hold on his sons activities and his mother was tender and caring. When he was 3, his parents had another child -- a beautiful baby girl. He was still the favored child though, and was always praised. He played sports and attended his studies daily, doing anything in his power to make his parents proud, but then something happened. Every night, from the ages of 6-9, Astin began to feel sharp, sirring pain in his legs and back -- it was then that his mother began to grow distant and shun her son, and she leaned more towards her daughter. His father, however, had no idea what was going on.

By the age of 10, the pains went away and he entered middle school. He got perfect marks, made the varsity teams in soccer and rugby, and had all of his peers fawning over him. His father couldn't have been prouder, but his mother barely even glanced his way. Then, by the age of 12, Astin's life changed for good.

It had been a cold, stormy night and Astin was walking home from a friends house, hurrying through the streets in a futile attempt to beat the rain. Everything was eerily quiet, and Astin was secretly afraid. It was then that a stabbing pain rippled up his body, through his spine, causing the young boy to crumple to the ground with an ear splitting scream. His body burned and ached, and his muscles felt like they were being ripped apart. This torment went on for hours, his screams muffled by the roaring thunder and cackling lightening. When four hours had passed, Astin was no longer on the ground. In his place lay a weak Gold Eagle. Not knowing what was going on, Astin laid there until morning came, and people emerged from their houses. A young child found him laying in the street and carried him home and mended to his wounds. He stayed with the young girl for three weeks before being able to return to his human form -- unknowingly in front of the girl. The girl, having witnessed Astin shifting, was in awe and followed him around constantly, asking questions. After a few days of the pestering, Astin confessed that he didn't know what had happened, and returned home. His father, having feared the worst, welcomed his son home with open arms. His mother and sister were less welcoming. His mother scowled at him the moment he walked through the door and grounded him. His sister followed his mother's lead, scowled and told him she'd wished he'd truly been dead.

After many months, Astin returned to the young girl's house and thanked her properly, saying he had no idea what happened. He and the young girl became close than, as she was only 2 years younger than he. Over the next few years he never once shifted -- not until he was 15 anyways. Astin had just returned home from a grueling game of Rugby when the pain spread through his body, up his spine, and sending quick shocks of pain throughout his entire body -- like pulses. With a strangled gasp, he fell to the ground and clutched his head, wings ripping out of his skin and feathers tearing through his skin before nothing human was left of him, and he was an Eagle once more.

Terrified and unsure of what else to do, Astin flew home, only to see the door wide open and a strange car in the drive way. Flying into his home, Astin fell to the ground, as a human, at his bloody father's side. Dead.... his father, the only person to ever love him, was dead. His mother's scream pierced the otherwise silent house, urging him to leave his father's side. Easing into the living room, gun -from the bureau- in his hand, Astin's eyes landed on the form of his deceased sister, and blood stained form of his mother, as she coward from a shadow clad man.

"You kept him from you?" The man had hissed at his mother, fist coming down on Astin's mother's cheek. With a strangled sob, Danielle Vindelion just nodded. "You bitch! You kept my own son from me!" Punch and punch landed on Danielle's cheek as Astin watched with wide eyes. Before he knew what was happening, Astin's hands rose, finger circling onto the trigger, and pulled. The shot rang out as the bullet soared, embeding itself into the back of the man's shoulder, causing him to cry out. With an angry growl, the man whipped around, bloody crowbar in hand, ready to beat the poor fool that had shot him, but he slowly lowered that hand as he saw the crumpled form of Astin, turned, and ran from the house.

"He... mother?" Astin whispered, easing towards his mother. The once beautiful woman simply chocked and sobbed, reaching for the knife, and embedding itself into her chest, a scowl firmly placed on her face as she gurgled out her last words, '"it's all your fault.." before her head turned to the side and she chocked out her last breath.

Astin called the police, face void of emotion as his mother and sister's bodies were carried out, silent tears trickling down his face as they removed his father's body.

For the next four years, Astin lived with the girl who'd found him, attending school and running his father's business. In his spare time he did what little research he could on what was happening to him and learned that he was what was called a "Shapeshifter" and, after a bit of digging, he learned that the man that had attacked his family, was his biological father, and the man he grew up calling his father was actually not his father. He has tried to find the man he shot, but to no avail, and he's finally given up and is now attending college.
