We're supposed to say where we come from, right? I can do that.

[There's a lot he's debating sharing, but the biggest part is that he's part alien. But if he told his team back home, he can do that here. He's certain of it.]

I never knew a whole lot about myself. I lost my dad at an early age, and the only thing I had from my family was a weapon. This weapon turned out to be a big deal. When I was ready, I entered a school to become a fighter pilot, and I was the best of the best. But I failed out. I ended up lost for a while. And then I started sensing this weird energy, which led me, and a bunch of other guys, to a giant blue robot lion.

That led us down a path to where we are today. We're all paladins. I pilot the red lion, and if you've met Lance, Shiro, or Pidge, they pilot the blue, black, and green lions. We're fighting a war back home against an evil empire led by a man named Emperor Zarkon. Most of his race, the Galra, are involved in their control of the universe. They've taken over planets in countless galaxies. So many people need help. And we're meant to liberate them.

There are two things, though.

First, it turns out that I'm part Galra. I don't know how much. But it was hard for me to take. How could I be a part of this species that hurt so many people? I saw that there were good people, though. They wanted to fight back. They'd even die for it.

Second, I've been a member of Team Audentes for even longer than I've been a paladin now. Our team back home is a lot smaller, but we've been gaining allies along the way. Not everyone has the same idea of how to do things. The Galra on our side are afraid of taking risks, because it could destroy their infrastructure. Others are willing to give up that if it means finally stopping Zarkon. Either way, we are fighting a war. A war is exactly what you think it is.

Either way, I've decided to protect my universe and the multiverse. If I'm here, then that's what I'm meant to do. A friend told me that it's likely that I was meant to walk this path. I didn't believe her at the time, or maybe I didn't want to believe in myself.

I'm not sure which way is the right way to think. But I'm going to fight. This is my purpose now.
