BACKSTORY:
triggers: brief mention of alcoholism, paralysis (paraplegia), i still forgot the word for kids getting kicked out akfjdsl
born and (mostly) raised in north carolina, for some years, simon never knew âwant.â it wasnât that his parents were rich -- nothing of the sort -- rather that his mother would do anything for her sons and daughter.Â
their father was not quite as doting, spending more of his time drinking his hatred away than hanging out with his wife and children. if he didnât... who knows what would happen!
that said, simon was raised to believe that mutants were a species to be feared. âtheyâll look at you with blood-thirsty eyes,â so said his mother. but it was not for general hatred -- her own mother had been killed at the hands of one, a brotherhood member, and sheâd been left with permanent scarring on her back. his father, on the other hand, simply wanted something he was allowed to hate.
so imagine how unfortunate -- in many ways -- simon found himself when his brother, ian, dared him to dive into a pool using their tiny trampoline... and he ungracefully followed through and dove into the water that was... much shallower than he had perceived. a terrible sensation spread, and then...
his mutation came forth, randomly and suddenly taking the form of a hellhound as a trauma response. in this form, his spine was immediately healed, but when he was quickly and involuntarily snapped back to his original form? to a human? nothing.
the doctors did all they could, but when he came to and theyâd given up, he found himself completely paralyzed from the waste down with limited mobility in his arms. he could move his hands. he could move his head. he could move his neck. he could move his forearm. and, with concentration, he could move the rest of his arm. well enough to not be considered quadriplegic!
fortunate that his parents had not seen his transformation, unfortunate that he had no clue what had happened. fortunate that he could move like normal when in his new form, unfortunate that he turned any time the slightest pain was felt in one of his non-numb/paralyzed areas. finally, his ian told him his own secret: while their sister was human (as far as they knew), he was also a mutant. biokinesis, the ability to manipulate life. quite strong, quite invisible.
he told him of this organization -- the brotherhood -- that believed in mutant superiority... to which simon was like âdidnât one of those mutants scar mom and kill grandma?â to which... he confirmed, but waved off. ian was considering joining, if he could find a way, and he encouraged simon to do the same.
that said, simon still had a deep-seated fear and slight hatred towards mutants. it wasnât something he found himself able to believe in until he was sitting in the family room, watching some program that he can no longer remember, and felt a burn on his hand from his sister accidentally dropping a hot plate.Â
hyperbolic trauma response: he turned into a hellhound. his parents were terrified, his sister was curious, and ian... had an odd look of pride. to make things worse, he accidentally used a subpower he didnât even know he had and induced fear. when he was human again, his loving mother insisted that he leave. and, just to prove a point, ian used his powers -- something he had honed much better than simon -- to rot the apple on his sisterâs tray (and she just looked more pissed off than afraid or angry at the two).
somehow, they found themselves in new york. with a wad of cash and unfulfilled dreams, they settled down. ian was forced into the role of his caretaker (which is why heâll remain an npc, rip), something that felt somewhat humiliating at first but... after a while, just natural.
ian aided in simon honing his ability. and when he finally did? heâd now garnered enough hatred in his heart to truly consider his brotherâs suggestion. unlike his brother, he wasnât murder-happy, but remembering his parents... thinking about all the ways others thought of him in his hellhound form... thinking about the essex house and how that couldâve been him... thinking about the way he was actually fortunate to have the ability -- how his world would be so small without it...Â
as kind of an aside, he purchased a dictation recorder to begin spilling his guts a la novels. fiction? sure! based on real life? sure! non-fiction? ...masked as fiction, sure! and, while it wasnât the steadiest income, he would... occasionally lie and say he was related to george orwell... which would encourage publishing companies to sign, and encourage even more people to buy his novels.
five years ago, he joined the brotherhood with ian. while he isnât too fond of murder, in his hellhound form, his predator instinct amplifies his hatred tenfold. as a hellhound, heâs so down for murder! and as a human, heâs... down for ranting about them and helping come up with plans.
CONNECTION IDEAS:
his sister ! i love family connections. with his brother being his caretaker, i pretty much have to leave him as an npc, but i think his sister would be really fun ! could be a mutant, could just be curious and... not furious. she clearly did/does not hate them to the same degree as their parents, something that simon and his brother picked up on.
brotherhood besties ! give him some people from the brotherhood who are like âyeah, iâm down with murder, but iâm not down down. i feel u!â
brotherhood peer pressure ! they think itâs pretty lame that heâs down for helping with the plans, but has to actually go into his hellhound form to be down with murder :\
neighbors ! he lives on the first floor of the silverhouse apartments. quite frankly, these are the people who probably know him ( in his human form ) the best.
friends from when he first arrived ! as it says on the tin !
fans of his books ! maybe they believe heâs a distant relative... maybe they donât... but either way, they like his books.
exes ! he doesnât have the chance to get into many serious relationships, but these two provided him with that. he felt desired... which was nice. no matter what terms theyâre on, heâll always be thankful for that. (Â 1/2 )
open to so much more ! besties, ppl who ask him too much so he likes 2 lie 2 them, âso if youâve got hellhound physiology, does that mean hell is real?â âidk!â, etc, etc, HERE FOR IT ALL!!
