Bellamy Kane. 33. Firefighter Paramedic. Chicago.
tw: drugs, death, injury
♞ He was born and raised in Chicago, pretty much by a single mother. His father died when Bellamy was young and that was his first heart break. His mother had tried her best. During the summer between middle school and high school, the truth slipped out and it turned out his father had actually died from a drug deal gone wrong. He was apparently mixed in with the wrong people and was in too deep. Growing up, Bellamy had never hated his father for dying considering he was always told it was a freak accident. He never asked more than that, but when the truth came out, his relationship with his mother became strained.
♞ His relationship with his mother mended over the years, and they became a happy family again when his mother remarried. From her second marriage came Bellamy’s little sister (or brother I haven’t decided which yet tbh). Bellamy’s 14 years older and super protective.
♞ After high school, him and his best friend both went on to become Pararescumen (PJ’s). They had practically lived on badass, action packed military movies growing up so what better way than to become like the people they saw on the screens. They, inevitably, went through some shit and his friend got out after 4 years and became a firefighter, Bellamy stayed in because he loved the adrenaline rush. During his off time from deployments, Bellamy helped out as a volunteer firefighter at the station his buddy was working at. The two were practically inseparable.
♞ Bellamy got out after another few years of service (he was 29). He became a full time firefighter and paramedic so he could continue to work with his best friend.
♞ A year into working together, his friend died on the job. There was a high risk fire and his friend went in & got trapped. Bellamy was in there too but in another part of the building. Although he should’ve gotten out, Bellamy stayed in, disobeyed orders, and went to go try and save his friend. He did save his best friend, but they both suffered injuries as the fire and the heat started burning through their gear. Bellamy suffered burns to his upper back and arms. He was put on medical leave for 3 months to not only heal from his injuries but because he disobeyed his commander. His best friend ended up moving out of state shortly after, going to rehab in Georgia, leaving Bellamy all by himself.
♞ After he healed, he started working again and still continues to run his mouth if he doesn’t like an order. (He’s surprised he hasn’t been fired yet honestly.) His nickname is “Reck” due to his reckless nature.
