My character is associated to Fire and Earth.

Because I made it so that he was captured by Garlean soldiers and rather than put on the Hypertuned project, they tried to make him into the Hashmal CE. But it was botched and the resistance got to him in time to administer some of the tempering-reversing cure, which did reverse most of the effects of the transformation but still left him highly skewed to Hashmal's elements. The Garleans simply retreated and abandoned their test subjects and just did their usual thing elsewhere, with some other poor sod being Hashmal'd.
