	~~Railroad~~ was born William Griffith “Junior”. to a prominent Confederate anti-metahuman family. His grandfather William Griffith Sr. was one of the founding members of Humanis Policlub. And his mother Linda McAdoo is also a popular pundit for the anti-metahuman cause. They were a fixture in the local Humanis circles and family events. Along with his two younger siblings Bessie, Edward, and Thomas, Junior was immersed in the racist values of his family, which he embraced full-heartedly.

	The young William fell ill to unknown sickness when he turned 12. Bedridden for 3 months, his convalescence coincided with the passage of the the Halley’s comet during the Year of the Comet. The SURGE affected all of the Griffith children: Edward developed thermographic vision and arcane resistance, Bessie gained a glamourous aura and a ogren digestive system — though nobody actually noticed, while Thomas experienced traumatic deformations to his heart that soon resulted in his death. But Junior’s transformation was the most dramatic: he emerged from his sickbed a fledgling troll.		The young William fell ill to unknown sickness when he turned 12.

	Calling themselves the “Caboozers”, the streetgang gave Junior food and shelter. They gave him the nickname ~~“Railroad”~~, but didn’t exactly go out of their ways to make his life easy. For his part, Junior still harboured racist prejudice against the metahumans. He could not understand his own changes and his parents’ rejection, and grew resentful of the world and the gangers around him. As his body quickly matured due to the latent goblinisation, he struggled to cope with the new reality.		Calling themselves the “Caboozers”, the streetgang gave Junior food and shelter.

==Background==
Railroad was born William Griffith “Junior”. to a prominent Confederate anti-metahuman family. His grandfather William Griffith Sr. was one of the founding members of Humanis Policlub. And his mother Linda McAdoo is also a popular pundit for the anti-metahuman cause. They were a fixture in the local Humanis circles and family events. Along with his two younger siblings Bessie, Edward, and Thomas, Junior was immersed in the racist values of his family, which he embraced full-heartedly.

The young William fell ill to unknown sickness when he turned 12. Bedridden for 3 months, his convalescence coincided with the passage of the the Halley’s comet during the Year of the Comet. The SURGE affected all of the Griffith children: Edward developed thermographic vision and arcane resistance, Bessie gained a glamourous aura and a ogren digestive system — though nobody actually noticed, while Thomas experienced traumatic deformations to his heart that soon resulted in his death. But Junior’s transformation was the most dramatic: he emerged from his sickbed a fledgling troll.

The metamorphosis granted William the constitution to quickly recover from the illness, but also permanently damned him in the eyes of the Griffiths. In denial initially, his parents sought medical help to “treat” Junior’s “conditions”. But after the horns grew back the third time, it became clear that the “symptoms” were permanent and cannot be reversed. At loss and deeply conflicted, the Griffiths were finally driven to disown the boy. They smuggled him to the Dallas-Fort Worth megaplex and abandoned him on the the outskirts where SINless metahumans frequent. As they expected, Junior was soon picked up by a roaming gang of metahumans.
