Sliding onto one of the shaded benches along the Boardwalk, Korry pulled a cigarette from behind his ear, shaking his lighter out of the pack in his pocket. With a flick of his wrist he popped the Zippo's top off and in one fluid motion clicked the flame to life. Gripping the cigarette loosely between his lips, the Greaser lowered his head to bring the tip to the flame, inhaling quickly before closing the lighter's lid and sliding it back into his pocket. Glancing over, his eyes fell upon an approaching figure; one that seemed to be heading directly towards him. Shaking his head, Korry brought the cigarette to his lips once more, inhaling before calling out, "I'm on my break. Meanin' ya got 15 minutes 'for I tell ya to fuck off. Capiche?" Taking another drag, his eyes remained glued to the ocean on the horizon in front of him.

korry was born in chicago, illinois on february 13 to single mother patricia thomeson. his father, jerimiah st. james, was imprisoned at the time of korry's birth, and later passed away in prison, a casualty of a gang conflict gone far south. jerimiah was the right hand of a powerful and known gang leader, and became a target through shady dealings in an operation that reached overseas. following his death, patricia and korry became targets. patricia didn't have a positive track record of being the world's best mother. knowing she couldn't bring herself to be what her son needed, she escaped chicago and headed for angel ridge, where she left korry in the care of her already ailing mother.
raised by his already ailing grandmother betty, korry began caring for her at a young age. growing resentment for his parents and the lifestyles they'd chosen began to get under his skin in ways he couldn't recognize, fueling an anger that began at a young age. puberty did nothing to help those feelings, and while e never turned his feelings or vendettas towards his grandmother, he began running the streets, following in his father's footsteps unwittingly in his attempt to show the world his anger at the life his father had lived. falling into the same habits, korry found himself facing down the law and involved in very unsavory activities. despite the distance between chicago and angel ridge, korry's father's position and ultimate end was known in town as well, given his familial connections (he and patricia fled to chicago together following their graduation). because of that history and reputation of his father drove people's expectations of korry.
at the age of 18, korry watched one of his best friends pass away at the hands of the violence that was a result of some of the activities they were involved in. while things weren't directly related to the gangs and factions in town, the loss of his friend gave korry large pause to re-examine his life and choices. his grandmother's health was deteriorating further, and he knew the stress he was placing her under was only adding more stress. deciding to change his ways, he began working on a commitment to be different. still, tensions in town were high, and he found himself pressured to take a side. with the death in town and a new faction forming, korry saw his opportunity to begin promoting the change he wishes to see. joining the krakens, he maintains his reputation as one of the town bad-boys, but internally wants to continue to make changes. he has also secretly begun taking night classes, wanting to work towards getting out of angel ridge at some point, and seeking a new beginning.
