Skid's Backstory
Warning: Violence.
Skid used to live with his best friend, a puppet named Pump, in a large house. He had other friends too. 3 men named Beta, Blue and MB, a dinosaur-like humanoid named Pico, and a demon woman named GF.
They all lived happily...
Until Pump was kidnapped.
Skid, despite his age, was the only one brave enough to go find him...
And he was greeted with a nasty, tragic sight in an alleyway.
Pump had been torn to shreds and ignited into flames.
All that remained of him was some singed fabric and stuffing, and his bowtie.
Skid was devastated.
He couldn't believe it.
His best friend was gone.
And he failed to save him.
Skid sobbed loudly and helplessly, apologizing to Pump over and over.
He tried to bring him back to life countless times, but he was unable to do so.
When he returned home, though, Beta, Blue and MB were getting badly beaten by thugs.
Skid tried to save them too, but one swift blow to the face and he was down for the count.
The thugs made off with the Boyfriends, and they too were dead.
Upon getting back up, Skid also cried over their passings as well.
He begged that GF would at least still be there, but when he went to her bedroom, she was in very bad condition, laying down in bed with pale skin and a frail posture.
Skid was at least able to comfort her during her final moments.
As the world was slowly decaying, Skid quickly ran to a grocery store to take cover.
And that's where Pico was seen on the ground, laying in a pool of blood.
His own gun appeared to have been used against him.
Skid's heart sank...
Everyone was gone.
Everyone.
There was no going back.
He burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.
He felt like this was all his fault.
He felt worthless.
Alone.
Miserable.
Skid turned to look at Pico one last time...
But he was gone.
His body was right there a minute ago.
Now it wasn't.
He ran off crying, back to his house.
And everyone else's bodies weren't there either...
But when Skid checked the alleyway, Pump's scorched remains were still there.
Why his of all people?
Skid picked them up and wept.
As he went back home, he found an old urn in his closet, so he put Pump's remains in there. He placed it on his shelf.
To this day, Skid still misses his friends, especially Pump.
He misses all the adventures.
The chaos.
The spells.
The people.
Everything.
But deep down, they all had a special place in his heart.
