It was a pretty normal day in New Marais. Militia, swamp monsters, conduits. Basic everything you need for a super power party.

A young boy walked out of an apartment complex. His hair was as black as night and his orange eyes radiated a sense of justice. His clothes consisted of dark jeans, a black hoodie with a red shirt beneath and s pair of fingerless gloves.

The young boy walked away from the apartment building, into the city and into an ally way. He wasn't surprised as his exit was blocked when he entered. He gave a slight smirk as he was surrounded by a group of thugs.

"Give us your wallet and we won't hurt you...much" the biggest said. Judging by his size, he was the leader. One of His underlings moved in to attack the boy since he didn't obey.

The boy turned around with lightning reflexes and punched the man in the face. Now, normally that wouldn't do much to a guy a head taller than you...well except give the guy more reason to kill you. But when that punch packs the power of unstable matter, it's gonna leave a mark. Unfortunately that poor sod learned that the hard way. His companions didn't make it out much better.
Again when someone can control unstable matter, there's gonna be a few broken bones.

The boy walked out of the ally,
Readjusting his gloves and the newly placed bag on his back. He smiled to himself and headed downtown.

"Lot of crazy stuff happening lately...Amy I right?" A man said to the boy. This slimed to young conduit's interest. "Like what?"
"that explosion in the south of new Marais " the man said "heard it was similar to the empire city incident...strangest thing I've se-hey! Where you going?"

The boy walked off to the explosion site with his signature smirk. "The key had awoken "

All in all, it was another day in the life of the matter conduit: Jack Rider.
