A picture of Justin, from the new story.

After the old story devolved into sexual debauchery, Justin and many of it's characters were rendered an embarassing memory. I realized that I hadn't put much into developing their real characters.

The new story has Justin as the first creation of the Master. A scientist with a radical vision, and suspected delusions of grandeur, the Master raised Justin with a variety of mentors, intending for him to be a Prince. His destiny from birth was to create a place for the Marra Civilization to flourish and grow after the Master dies. As such, Justin's traits as written in his DNA by the Master give him many traits to accomplish his 'mission'.

One interesting thing is that he shares brain. The Master is a geneticist, but also a very philosophical thinker. He had a propensity for logic and science, which he thought to be valuable in a leader. He essentially just copied and pasted the genes for his brain into Justin's DNA, on the sequencer. This synconization created a special bond between Justin and the Master. Justin experienced things almost exactly as the Master while growing up. The Idea for the Marra came to the Master when he was just a boy, and while he developed that idea he found himself wishing he could Be a Marra. So, Justin experienced what the Master wanted as a child.
