Background
Osteogenesis imperfecta, commonly known as Brittle Bone disease, was the diagnosis the doctors gave Tony's mother. Tony was five years old and this was after the sixth time he'd been brought in to the ER with broken bones in as many months. After the second time, the police had been called and Tony had been placed in a foster home for a week. After Tony had bumped into the coffee table and had to be brought back to the ER, the police and social workers were no longer involved. The smallest bump or fall, and his bones would break. At that point, his mother began what would become a lifelong pattern of protecting her son. Anytime they would leave the house, Tony would be in a wheelchair. He couldn't play with other kids because it would result in several broken bones and a lot of pain for Tony. Unable to act and play like a normal kid, Tony dove into books and computers. He would read for days on end, and when he wasn't reading or studying, he was on the computer.

With his mother being a research Astrophysicist, Tony did have every chance otherwise; the best schools, the best doctors, just nothing seemed to help with his physical or mental health. Growing frustrated with this, his mother looked into every option she could. Frustrated, his mother even included Tony in an experiment involving harmonic frequencies because it had shown to have an effect on reducing the fragility of various crystalline structures.

Something in Tony's genetic structure had a strange interaction with the harmonics. They resulted in a strange side effect of increasing the density of Tony’s bones and muscles, allowing him to grow stronger and causing his cellular structure to take on a crystalline pattern which was more dense and resistant to damage. The benefits only had a short duration, quickly fading and returning his body to it's previous state. Over the last few months, Tony has learned to trigger the transformation at will, remaining in his crystalling form for longer and longer each time. This respite, however temporary, has allowed Tony to gain a bit more confidence in everything he does.
