Who is Arize?

Brief History The Spineless Ones had no success in anything from culture to technology due to their lack of a spinal cord, and they were driven insane by the TV images projected into their minds. That changed when Arize was born. As a result of his mutation, Arize's body appeared more humanoid - with a fully developed spinal cord, and even actual hair! However, his most important mutation was less obvious - he was not plagued by the TV images in his head, which made him sane. Arize used his gifts to create artificial spinal cords for his kind, but there were those who rejected them. As a result, Arize created walking platforms, which many Spineless Ones came to use and rely upon. One of the many was Mojo , the totalitarian ruler of the Mojoverse . Due to his insanity and obsession with television, Mojo wanted to create “shows” in which the actors participating would actually suffer danger. When at first Mojo could find no one insane enough to become an “actor” in his creations, he turned to Arize - who created a race of slaves to participate in Mojo’s movies.
