Planeswalker story telling

I love seeing cards lace into a story, like the new story cards in Kaladesh, Aether Revolt, and Kaladesh. Something about that aspect to magic is rather beautiful, because it gives a hint to where to story leads without forcing you to read through a bunch of text.

But, planeswalkers also tell a story. For example, Ajani. He started out as regular Ajani, and turned to the Vengeant through his conflict through Bolas. Then to the Caller of the Pride, then the mentor of heros, and I think you can get the picture. You can somewhat tell what happened just on how the planeswalker cards changed. Sure, you might not know who did what and why, but you can see character development.

That is my favorite part of the walkers, and I think we can be creative enough to make characters with stories through the walkers based on their changes.

So, the challenge is to make a string of at least 2 walkers that show character progress. Brownie points if you add an actual story that mentions the cards or characters involved.

I'd like to see what you can all do, and the rewards are just me favoriting your cards, publicity, and some creative fun.

    Are we allowed to use an old walker to start off and give the string new ones?

    @Everhitalick is it ok to only have 1 planeswalker, but have multiple other cards related to it (like a sorcery or artifact)?

    @Everhitalick - I have 2 werewolf 'walkers and their stories on how they became 'walkers. Would you like it if I post them and their stories here?

    While these cards don't tell how the planeswalker evolved as a person, they do tell about his past, hope you like:

    Story

    Ak'An was a Suncaller, a powerful mage who trained at the Thebos Academy, however after the fall of the Ahtukan Empire he wandered the Sea of Sands with his sister Ak'Un, many years later, Ak'An had a bank of liberated artifacts from age-old empires. This caused them to get attention from the local Tomb Raiders. After a brawl with one of their leaders Ak'Un was left mortally wounded. Now Ak'An wanders alone, still searching for Artifacts and treasures throughout the Multiverse.

    Hope you like!

    Two questions:
    1. Can we use cards we've already made for this
    2. Do flip walkers count (e.g. http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Jace,+Vryn's+Prodigy )

    I have a flip walker I made for a collab set that would work great here. Otherwise, I could potentially work on finishing the lore and cards of an old polymorphist planeswalker I have.
