I wrote a snippet of the backstory for one of my friends characters.
The man known as the host, was not always missing such a crucial piece of himself. There was once a point in which he had his precious eyes. Although he can see more without his eyes than any of us can with our own, something like sight can never be replaced and something that wasn't taken for granted. Many believe this man was savage enough to rip his own eyes out, but I as his creator know there is much more to the story. Before his eyes were lost to fate the poor man had a very prominent weakness. He was weak minded, trusting and possibly ignorant to how horrid people can be. All of this changed the day he was kidnaped, by a man who wished to use his knowledge of the future for his own bidding. The Host was taken by this man and locked in a basement for many weeks, possibly even months. He had no way to tell time, he could barely tell if his situation was better or worse than when it started. He was forced to use his powers in order to keep his life, every day it was the same. He was either to use his powers as he was demanded, or be gruesomely murdered. After a while his mega mind began to crumble, his sanity began to slip. After a couple of weeks he began to hallucinate, and his visions even began to change rapidly and cause extreme migraines and even chest pain. Even more time past and he became hysterical and even sarcastic when revealing his visions. This, is when things began to complicate as he wished he couldn't see anything. Not the past, present or future and soon he began to resent his own eyes. Towards the end of his incarceration he completely lost control and his mind slipped away from him. He launched his own hands on himself and began to dig at his eyes. After minutes that felt like hours, and endless amounts of blood and screams he pulled his eyes out of his own skull. He escaped mainly due to the claims of insanity, and his lack of feeling after that. The day his lost his eyes was however, the day he vowed never again to place his trust in anyone, I highly doubt he even fully trusts himself.
