{{Tab}}Ryan's life history changes blithely with the telling if it; he makes up stories both plausible and farfetched to anyone who asks much about his life. What ''is'' widely and publicly known is that he's the son of a Baptist preacher from Down South, he did a long stint as a guinea pig in the Prometheus labs some years back, and subsequently began leading a team of mutants together with [[Jax|Jackson Holland]] to free mutants still held in the then-secret labs.
{{Tab}}Ryan's life history changes blithely with the telling if it; he makes up stories both plausible and farfetched to anyone who asks much about his life. What ''is'' widely and publicly known is that he's the son of a Baptist preacher from Down South, he got his start in folk music before hitting it big.
 
That wasn't what initially brought him into the public eye, though. Outside of Clandestine Heroing, he spent his post-Prometheus years building up a solid music career. Starting in NYC and exploding out from there, he waited until he had already climbed his way to stardom -- a platinum debut album, national tour rapidly selling out all his stops, a growing reputation as a media darling for skating juuust on the right side of Bad Boy to still appeal to parents and youth alike, a load of Grammy nominations.
 
Only with his fame good and solidly established did he go and Gryffindor it all to hell -- [[Logs:Vignette - Big Four|coming out]] as a mutant and a Prometheus survivor, on stage the night of the Grammys, in his acceptance speech while winning the last of the four major awards, right at the height of the news storm when Prometheus's horrors were first coming to public light.
 
Things since then... haven't been the same. His record label dropped him with a swiftness, most major digital music platforms yanked his stuff, booking venues to play at became a lot tougher, lots of his fans deserted him. He got himself a new publicist and geared up for hella hard work rebuilding his base. He's been moderately successful at it in the years since then, by dint of tireless labor as an indie artist and a reeeally good PR manager making sure to ''keep'' him in the public eye.
