A planet on the brink of extinction and ultimate destruction it's only surviving life form being a parasite frozen the in planets core trapped for centuries from an ice age which captured it's host. Over the years the parasite evolved becoming more of a symbiotic species enabling the host to survive under the freezing condition in a form of stasis. The planet explodes sending a meteorite fragment to earth containing the frozen core and begins to thaw upon entry crashing into a warmer climate the alien species completely thawed out begins to check out the area.
Being spotted by primitive man and killed for food, after being ingested it found itself into a new host, with potential for greatness. After some years the other men noticed that the host wasn't aging and was increasing in strength and intellect.
Once again my host was killed and the tribe ate the body, giving the queen's youngest son first bite. A host such as this gave it time to integrate and advance so as it could appear a more natural process, reaching milestones before other children his age and excelling at linguistics and basic hunting just appeared as he took on his fathers, their kings traits. A saber toothed lion caught the boy off guard one day and it leaped towards him, the enhanced strength and agility allowed him to grab the beast by the throat crushing it in place. He then using his sharpened rock skinned the beast and brought it home carcass in one hand, fur in other.
The tribe suspicious but alike the father it was hard to tell cheered at his victory, the women making a cloak from the furs and necklace from the teeth. He also took a bride at this time and they had a child whom once again the symbiot decided to make its host. Then just as life was seeming liveable and content a plague struck the village. Leaving the boy surviving the last of his era.
The symbiot knew they couldn't stay and required to move on so the boy crafted armor and began to explore for more tribes but was having no luck. Increasing the boys strength and enhancing his digestive system survival was easier as less was required to fuel the host. Now able to absorb daylight as energy and able to consume a variety of vegetation, and then another obstacle presented itself as a net was tossed over the boy. Dragged off to a slavers ship, and flung into a cell filled with others of similar origin and others unknown, shackled to each other.
Prisoners tried to converse and in their native dialects "the plague, did it reach your village ? is this why u look so strange?" says an understandable voice. The boy nods, and begins to cry. The symbiot figuring that this a justifiable response, and the man says "It's alright, you have to be strong here". Calming the boys emotions, Symbiot stand tall and flexes smacking his chest, "I am strong" the boy replies.
A guard seeing his chest display laughs, slamming the cell door with his billy bat. "Quiet you lot, it's the coliseum for you" he says as confused faces struggle for meaning, Symbiot understand the words as a civilization once spoke this tongue that embodied his planet. This body wouldn't do for arena fighting, but perhaps they wouldn't toss in a child. Either way presented a desire to abandon the host and find a stronger vessel. Arriving a their destination ones whom looked alike were separated to create confusion and the boy was tossed into another cell with a mentally challenged person of a giants proportions, whom the men called ogre. Ogre being very hostile and the boy noticed human bones laying about as if those were meals for the poor being. Cowering in fear Ogre charged grabbing the boys leg and flailing him about the cell, and slamming the dead carcass on the bars growling and snarling as the guards walked by.
Ogre then proceeded on taring the body into bite sized pieces, devouring the meal he was given. Symbiot now part of this giant began to make upgrades such as intellect and speech correcting posture as well. Whilst reading the memories Ogres true name was realized as Goliath, "Guard I wish to fight!" says Goliath. The guards looking shocked opens the cell pikes in hand driving Symbiot towards the open gladiator training pit. The men all pausing as the grotesque giant stumbles out, grabbing a helm, shield and Club and approaching the first trainer pummeling the club downward on their helm and bashing the shield forward tossing the lifeless body aside. Which starts his arena years which grow ever harder but Symbiot enhancing his strength to arise to the challenge, until one battle when a boy named David.
David armed with nothing more then a sling and a stone and a surprising weak spot that some how he hit. Defeating Goliath dropping him like a ton of bricks and the body was later dragged off and tossed to the lions. Symbiot in the body of a lion, waiting for another host was again surprised as a man named Daniel was tossed into the den. Instead of attacking him Symbiot defended against the others keeping him alive and began to lick Daneil as to pass himself into his body by means of saliva. The guards removed Daneil setting him free as the man seemed to be a prophet.
Once released Daneil was murdered by the King Harod whom licked the blade after doing so. Symbiot found itself in a new host whose mind was weak and had many evil thoughts. A man was to be crucified for being an ally to this Daneil, the name being Jesus. The man was brought to trial, and Symbiot watched as the people chose to proceed with the punishment, figuring it was a just cause. The order was given out and thus the man was crucified and a spear driven through his side.
A violent era Symbiot thought as the king then ordered each first born child to be murdered. The king was made to commit suicide, as Symbiot tired of his hosts cruel nature. The rats began to eat the mans body, and a new host was found. A rat, which seemed a very useful species for many years, until a cat decided to kill and eat it. A cat host was interesting and Symbiot enjoyed hunting and prowling about until picked up and put on another boat in a cage. Once arriving and released into a household apparently a gift for a little girl, whom kissed and hugged it. Taking the opportunity to pass into the girl Symbiot found a new host, children always made great vessels and stayed within extending her age far beyond the norm.
The people used to make stories of how she sustained her beauty, horrifying fables of bathing in blood of the young women in the area whom went missing. Eventually she was murdered by the people of the city and her place stoned up and condemned to hide the truth. Symbiot was trapped for many centuries until one day a witch approached the castle and scraped the dried blood into a vial which the moistened and drank in, hoping to consume the powers of the fables she read. Attaining more then she bargained for as Symbiot began taking control, thinking she was possessed by the fabled spirit of past. She approached her coven for assistance, Symbiot empowering her telekinesis flung each into massive pyre they had going.
All the witches burnt to ashes, their spell book was available and a passage about traveling through time interested Symbiot. Whom decided to perform the ritual sending the host into the future where now World of Darkness resides. The body of the witch unable to survive the trip dropping onto the streets and crawling towards glimpses of people. A zombie crawling on all fours takes a bite into the face sucking out the blood and finishing off the flesh, and Symbiot lives again.
