⤗⤗ Steampunk Engineer - DTAE ⬼⬼ Name: George (hush now, it's a ✨beautiful✨ name) Gender: Male Pronouns: he / him Backstory: George grew up in the center of the city of Very Old York (VOYC, for simplicity purposes). Everything was always changing around him: new inventions being made, new buildings being built, new people being murdered I mean what. There was one thing, however, that always stayed constant in George's life, and that was, in fact, his family. They were always there for him, ever since he was the smallest kitten. They would help him navigate the streets of VOYC and make sure he didn't ever get kidnapped. However, on a particularly rainy August day (it was a Monday if you're curious), George came home from school to find no one. His parents weren't in the house, and neither was his little sister. He didn't find anything off about this; sometimes his parents had to work later to provide for the family, or sometimes they would take his sister Suzie to the park with them while they were at school. However, hours passed, and George had started to grow worried. They NEVER stayed that late at work, and their certainly wouldn't stay at the park for hours. Finally, after waiting what seemed like an eternity, George went in search for him family. He searched high and he searched low. He searched under the park benches and in the trees and on the bridges and in the buildings and anywhere he could think of. But he couldn't find them. They were nowhere. They hadn't... abandoned him, had they? The next day, there was a report in the newspapers. Three bodies found in the river: a large tomcat, a molly, and their kitten. George didn't know, though. He never read the newspaper. He continued to search for his parents, looking everywhere. Sometimes he would go back to his home, hoping that they had returned. Only when a family friend recognized him as the son of the deceased, he was turned in to the authorities. They had to explain to him that his family had been murdered, and that he was an orphan now. And they also had to explain that all the orphanages in VOYC had been mysteriously burned down two years before, so he now had to live on the streets because they didn't really want him. On the streets, that was where George learned how to piece raw parts of broken machinery together to make inventions, gadgets of whatever he wanted. With those gadgets, he realized that he could create so much. Maybe even... weapons? From that point on, he vowed that he would find his families killers... if it was the last thing he would ever do. ⤗⤗ Notes ⬼⬼ Oh gosh I'm so sorry I don't know why that turned so dark :sob: If you couldn't tell I'm rather new to this, I have no idea how to write a backstory haha Anyways, I fell in love with this design as soon as I saw it!
