AU History:
An orphan of unknown origin, the first event of particular note in Meti's life was being "acquired" by a corporation of few morals and access to a portal to the Spirit Realm of Nightmares to test what methods of giving people powers would be most reliable. You know, because stray children are less expensive test subjects than adults, and fewer people will ask questions if a random kid vanishes than an employee with family and an insurance payout. Of course, some people did start poking their noses in, and things snowballed until the next thing Meti knew, he was being carried from the wreckage of the company's headquarters by some kind stranger.

Said kind stranger left him and a few of his fellow former experiments in care of a foster parent with known ties to the supernatural. Kind of bad form to leave a kid who's gained the ability to sprout bat wings on regular people, after all. Life entered a state of relative normalcy afterward, though Meti never forgot how he got there, and for a time wished he could be a fairytale knight so he could protect others.

Come adulthood, the lad ended up starting a business working on aircraft after realizing the childhood dream of being a knight was not viable and most of the people with the money for hiring bodyguards are people he'd rather punch in the face himself. It's working out pretty well considering he's successfully not punched any clients in the face. He's remained close with the four he was rescued with, only trusting them and a handful of others to be his employees.

However, because he's still a fighty little bastard who likes challenging people so he can get stronger (and secretly enjoys the attention), Meti decided it would be a great idea to join the local cagefighting circuit, and has a bit of a fanbase beyond just his friends.

AU Personality Differences: He's not a lot different, honestly, beyond acknowledging that he has human limitations and therefore cannot feasibly attempt anything like fighting an entire army by himself. For this reason, he's also much more pragmatic when it comes to fights not in the ring, and has learned to rely more on his fists than a sword since carrying a sword around everywhere is not going to fly outside fake ones at conventions and during LARP.
