From birth, most gymnasts are born with raw power. From there, they are trained vigorously in various arts. A gymnast's training isn't complete until they perform the great ritual of gyme, in which they obtain numerous power units, otherwise known to mortals as chromosomes. The gymnasts grow stronger from the chromosomes, and their lust begins to grow.
