The Man-Candle

Hey kiddies! Here's the story about how the Man-Candle got into play:



It was a rainy, dark night at the Cradnor Mansion, and the doctor himself, Dr. Cradnor, was down in his lab. Dr. Cradnor was a very successful scientist around his town, and had fabricated many helpful tools for the town's benefit. One was the Dirt to Energy transfer machine. This machine acted as a bulldozer or a drill: it took in the dirt, sapped out all of it's nutrients, and converted it into energy. It also made space for new residential plots in which the real estate agents would sell to people. Now, back to the doctor. Dr. Cradnor was making a new invention, allowing one element to be imbued with a living creature. For example, one could imbue water with a human being and the human would be allowed to control that element at their will. Dr. Cradnor was commonly classified as a "pyrotechnic" because he worked with fire and gas alot. He thought if he could imbue himself with fire, he'd be able to easily create fire at his fingertips to help his work. At last, his contraption was complete. The doctor lit a match and placed it in one pod, while he himself stepped in the other. He flicked a tiny switch in his pod, closing the door and allowing the morphing to begin. A brilliant flash of white light filled the room, and then the machine made a loud *whirr* sound. The machine stopped and the morph was complete. The doctor stepped out and looked in his mirror. His body was covered in... wax? The doctor wondered to himself, "What could've caused this to happen?". He soon realized: his ears were chock-full of earwax, and the machine must've picked up the earwax as an additional element! Looking at himself as a giant candle, he became depressed and moved out of the town. He is still known to wander around the town, searching for a way to change himself. So far, anything that could have the capability of doing that hasn't been discovered...



Thanks, and have a great day!
