CHILDHOOD
Born Baskar Reza Klein, youngest child of Joost Klein, a second generation immigrant from the UK, and Citra Batubara, a local woman and a school teacher, in Jakarta, Indonesia on the 14th of April 1995.
Has two older sisters who are 18 and 13 years their senior, with the first one out of the house and married before Baskar turned one. Before they turned six, their eldest sister Abhati immigrated to the United States where she now has three children, and their other sister Naina immigrated to Singapore and has one child.
Their mother was a beautiful woman, even nearing her forties she did not loose the look that made her so wanted: petite, flowing hair, and a dazzling smile, many wondered why she stayed with her husband, who had been balding and turning grey by thirty-five.
[ murder tw ] When Baskar was six, they watched their father kill their mother in the backyard with a shovel before running off into the night. According to the police his body was later found near the beach.
The exact motives wouldn’t be revealed until a few years later when a DNA test showed Baskar was not biologically related to their father after a letter was found containing details of Laji’s affair.
Before that however, the family got into a legal battle for custody of the youngest child. For three years he lived in a home until his grandparents, his father’s parents, won.
ADOLESCENT
His grandparents stayed with him in Indonesia until he was fourteen. Then they moved to the UK.
The reason behind the move was that Baskar had begun to display odd behaviour speaking of a man who looked like his father bringing him to school and picking him up, or watching him at football practice. He insisted that the man was really there but his grandparents and others were never able to spot him.
In the UK the behaviour didn’t change, he still insisted his father was following him.
The day after his sixteenth birthday his father asked him to come away with him. To which Baskar said no. He hadn’t minded his father's company when he’d been a boy, but as he grew older he’d begun to fear this man.
His father kept asking, and later turned to measures to create distance between Baskar and the people around him. He’d harass classmates, break things and blame Baskar for it, and deliberately steal things he’d borrowed from others. It still did not make Baskar agree to his offer.
[ murder tw ] Half a year later, his father murdered his classmate and his crush in the woods behind the grandparent’s house. Baskar found them when it was already too late, and remained with the body until the cops showed up.
Despite there being no evidence that Baskar had done it, he was still arrested and put on trial. Just after his eighteenth birthday the judge delivered the verdict that he was innocent.
The damage had already been done. And his grandparents offered him no respite. Baskar left.
ADULTHOOD
Baskar moved around the UK for the decade to come, settling in new places, starting new careers, learning new skills, even attempting to study twice. But his father always found him. And if not his father, then someone in his circle would dig up the articles about the murder and he wouldn’t know anymore if they believed him or if they thought he was truly capable of that. So he’d cut ties and move again.
He learned how to cope, how to make connections fast, and not to feel too sad when he had to end them. Yet he still lived in fear, fear that his father would appear and ask him: “Do you want to come away with me?”
HEADCANONS:
Their favourite movie is Inside Out. They haven’t seen Inside Out 2 yet. They are pretty sad they probably won’t ever see it. (Will be very grateful to anyone who has seen it and can tell them the plot).
They will tell people to call them Baski like their friends do. None of their friends ever called them that before they suggested it but most of them would comply.
Always has an escape plan. Even on the island when they believe they don't need one.
When they first get their power they ‘hear voices’ and currently they think aside from being able to hear everything, they can hear ghosts.
They’re a very bad liar. They don't like to lie at all.
They were born in Indonesia, but they haven't been back since they were fourteen. They tried really hard to retain their accent but after four years in a town near Bristol they lost it.
Studied (or tried to at least) electrical engineering and later robotics but dropped out because of their father’s haunting.
They are a decent singer and love karaoke.
They moved around a lot since they turned 18, never staying in a place for longer than 2 years (mostly in the UK). They’ve developed interesting methods to try and fit in quickly because of it.
