While there was warmth and love aplenty in his home, at school, it was a different story. He found himself the target of racism and discrimination, and a handful of kids claiming to be gangmembers tormented him incessantly. After receiving a broken arm from one of these beatings, the young boy became determined to learn how to defend himself, and started taking Karate classes. By the time Tommy had reached his teens, his dedication to training his mind and body had earned him not only a blackbelt in Karate, but varying levels of proficiency in a handful of other disciplines as well, such as Kickboxing, Judo, Muay Thai, Lethwei, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Krav Maga. His obsession with learning as many aggressive fighting styles as possible began to concern his parents, and he often spent entire weekends traveling around the Los Angeles area to seek out various instructors, some of whom would outright refuse to teach him further upon realizing how much anger he had pent up. Despite all this training, he had not lifted a hand against the bullies who continued to torment him and his friends, wanting to savor the anger and waiting to strike until he felt confident enough that he could sufficiently harm his abusers. He was harboring increasingly dark and violent thoughts, deriving joy from the thought of making those punks bleed and punishing bullies everywhere. That all came to a boiling point when Tommy was thirteen, after one of their tormentors came after him and his friends in the park with a baseball bat, threatening to smash their knees if they didn’t hand over their lunch money. This was the final straw, and the young martial artist finally unleashed his fury, severely wounding all six of their attackers with his bare hands. He then kicked the leg of the boy who had carried the bat, giving the punk a limp that would plague him for the rest of his life. In the aftermath of the conflict, Tommy was sent to juvenile detention as a result of his unnecessary brutality, and ordered to undergo counseling and anger management. His parents were horribly disappointed in him, and his father scolded him for using martial arts for vengeance. This all had a profound effect on the boy, and by the time he was released from state custody a few months later, his entire outlook had shifted. He began implementing breathing techniques and meditation into his daily routine, as well as focusing on less harmful martial arts, such as Tai Chi and Aikido. To help his recovery, his parents moved away from Little Tokyo and settled in a much nicer suburb of Los Angeles, Angel Grove. Once in his new home, he committed himself to changing his life and helping others, and began an after school program at the Youth Center for bullied kids to learn non-violent self defense. He also engaged in a number of charitable community service activities, such as clean-ups and fundraisers for various causes. His parents were visibly proud of the transformation their son had undergone, and he became quite popular around the neighborhood. The following Autumn, he began his freshman year at Angel Grove High, making a number of friends with his consistently upbeat and kind personality, chief among them Finn Logan. The two boys formed a strong bond, often working out together at the Youth Center. It was there they eventually met Helia Chilman, who joined their “adventuring party,” as they called it, whether that was hiking in the woods or helping out their local community. In addition to his time training and instructing his self-defense classes, Tommy had begun dabbling in computers and video games, and got to a point where he considered himself relatively tech-savvy. He also learned to sing, write songs, and shred electric guitar, though his never-ending martial arts education was always his greatest passion. Up until the Summer he turned seventeen, his life had been fairly normal by human standards. But after attending a fundraiser at Amber Beach Dinosaur Museum, the lives of Tommy and his friends would drastically change forever...

Her dream was to attend Caltech, so she could stay close to home but still get a top-of-the-line education. In school, the young girl tended to find herself the target of bullying for being a shameless geek and otaku, but she never apologized for being who she was. She embraced her inner nerd completely, and even excelled ahead of her classmates, arriving at Angel Grove High a year early. It was there she met Tommy Miyazoko, who playfully teased her for thinking anime was an accurate representation of how Japanese people spoke. They formed a close bond, and he even taught her the language properly. It was this that ignited her love for linquisitics, and she would go on to learn multiple other tongues. By the time Shelby entered her Junior year, she had already earned enough credits to graduate through all her extra-curricular activities, and she was earning top marks in all her classes. But the thought of leaving her friends behind was something she refused to entertain, determined to stay and receive her diploma alongside them all. They tried to tell her they would support her wholeheartedly if she [i]did[/i] decide to go to college ahead of them, but she insisted she didn’t want to hear another word about it. When June of ‘24 rolled around, the young prodigy jumped at the chance to participate in Miss Morgan’s Summer program, despite her surplus of credits. Most of her friends were on board as well, though she was undeniably frustrated when Karone Morrey showed up in the final week, solely to earn reputation points with her social media audience. Shelby, of course, had no way of knowing what awaited them just around the corner, and how her previous grievances would seem so [i]trivial[/i] by comparison...

Tragedy then struck when the girl was eight years old, and both their guardians died of an overdose. The siblings had no other family, and jumped from foster home to foster home for months until finally being adopted by the Morreys. They were a kind, warm, and joyful couple, and for the first time in what seemed like forever, Karone and Andros were actually smiling and enjoying life. Mr. and Mrs. Morrey ensured their every need was taken care of, but by the time they were teenagers, Andros began to notice that his sister was becoming a bit too spoiled. He tried to teach her the importance of the little things, and not to take anything for granted, but she was becoming too obsessed with her growing social media presence to listen to his words seriously. Karone delved even deeper into her compulsive tweeting and streaming when she started her Junior year, now that her brother had gone off to college and was no longer there to keep her grounded. By the time August of ‘24 had rolled around, she was enjoying a considerable spike in her internet fame, becoming a bit of a minor celebrity. She was sure to be signed on as a Twitch Partner the moment she turned eighteen the following January, as her gaming and cosplay streams were regularly viewed by thousands of people. To help maintain that upward trend, she began documenting herself acting like a generous and kind-hearted person, such as volunteering for Miss Morgan’s Summer Extra Credit Program. However, nothing could have prepared her for the horrors that awaited her deep underground, or the irrevocable damage that would thrust itself upon her life... [/hider]
