However, Han and Dan did not actually live together; Han was raised by\nhis single father, who had divorced his mother upon learning she was related to\na clan of super-fursons. Han's father, an extremist who considered Supers to be\nfreaks of nature, wanted nothing to do with his wife from then on, and gained\ncustody of their son.\n          \nAlthough, at the age of fifteen, both Han and his skeptical father would find\nHan was also a super furson, as while in an argument with his father, the TV\nwas on, playing loud sounds from an action movie his father had been watching,\nand while waving his hand around in expression, Han unintentionally activated\nhis once dormant powers, sending an unseen blast into the nearby wall and\nshattering a window in the process. What had happened was the sound from the\ntelevision had been unintentionally redirected the soundwaves with his powers,\nwhich had finally awoken.\n          \nHan's father, panicked and infuriated, wanted to throw out Han the moment he\nlearned of his son's gift, but Han was only fifteen years old, and doing so\nwould be unlawful. Han eventually struck a deal with his father; he would\nrefrain from using his powers, going about life as normal, as long as his\nfather let him stay living in that house at least until he graduated. Paternal\nfeelings possibly the only reason for doing so, Han's father agreed, but three\nyears later when Han received his diploma, he would be thrown out and left to\nfend for himself, with his father's words 'No freaks in my house, ever again!'\nstinging his ears like fire...\n          \nHan travelled to Ottawa by way of hitchhiking; thanks to an Ontario phonebook\nat his house, he'd found out where his mother lived, and turned to her for\nhelp. Disgusted by her ex-husband and joyfully reunited with her son, his\nmother took him in, and it was then he first met Daniel who happened to be\nvisiting. He was at first jealous of his cousin, being raised by his mother\nwhen it should have been him, but after learning of Daniel's powers and how he\nstruggled to keep it secret and not abuse it, he felt a connection to him, and\nsoon abandoned his jealousy of Daniel.\n          \nThe two followed different paths in life; Han, wanting to get away from the\nhustle and bustle of the city, looked into training to be a Park Ranger. He\nunderwent Police Training with the RCMP, which he had to briefly go live in\nRegina, Saskatchewan, to take. Supported by a student loan, he remained there\nfor a year, returning home, where he signed up for college in Biology and\nChemistry -two more required choices, and on the side took Survival courses.\n          \nIt had taken time and effort but in four years, Han had completed all of the\nrequired courses to become a Park Ranger, but for the first few months he\nremained without assignment, as there were no stations open in the area. Han\nspent most of that time learning about his powers, trying to find out how they\nworked; it appeared he could manipulate and even amplify sound and direct; in a\nsingle room, he could create deadzone of sound where only one or two could be\nheard, and all others drowned out. He also found he could direct soundwaves\nthemselves, controlling their direction by mental command and by aiming with\nhis arms and hands to control the direction.\nThough the free time was well-spent, he still needed a job. He\ngained his chance when he learned that the government was opening up a ranger\nstation near the remote village of Onata'ke; Han knew of the village from his\nAunt, having been told long ago that it was the place their family had come\nfrom.\nSeizing the opportunity he talked his superiors into giving him\nthe station; they were skeptical about giving a rookie the station but thanks\nto his persuasive nature he eventually talked them into it, even convincing\nthem to let him live there since he did not yet have a home -though . Han soon\nmoved out of his mother's house, setting up his new home in the station, with\nfurniture that both his Aunt and Daniel helped him pick out; it was a simple\nlifestyle,with only a few modern conveniences -conveniences which left the\nvillage leader, Ohanzee, constantly at odds with Han's presence in the village,\nbut thanks to both tradition of the village and Han not actually being a\nresident, he had no say.\n          \nSince then, Han has worked diligently to keep the peace and protect the\nwoodland wildlife around Onöta'ke, finding people who are lost in the\nwilderness and being a good neighbor to the villagers. He has lived there for\ntwo years, during that time Daniel visited the village once or twice each year;\nduring one such visit, Daniel confided in Han about his secret life as\nToronto's superhero, The Warp, and once again Han found himself mildly jealous\nof his cousin until he found out why he was doing it.\n          \nWhen Kaniehtiio lost control of her powers and became the Mana Beast, Han\nnoticed Ohanzee leaving the village, masked and thickly garbed to conceal\nhimself, and so followed him to Toronto, where he found out the truth about\nKaniehtiio's powers, and how they could not be controlled. He intervened before\nOhanzee could take the girl from the protective custody of Warp and Bureau\nagents Lionheart and Whiptail, and to this day he vows to bring Ohanzee in when\nthe opportunity arises.\n          \nFollowing the incident, Han joined up with Daniel, and began training under\nhim, taking on the hero name 'Volume' to compliment his powers.\n \n"}
