You know him. You've heard his backstory many times by now. But I want to try something... new. Making his backstory... an actual story. In the country of Ashbutail, at a time where technology was beginning to advance, he entered the world. June 3, 1970, to be exact. His father? Eric Jonathan Anthony. His mother? Laura Cobalt. He liked baked potatoes even before he was four, which was unique for a toddler his age. The same went for cookies - he also liked them around the same time. But then... the dreaded day came. September 30, 1976. A normal day for most people. It wasn't for Scarlet, though. Eric and Laura divorced after a huge fight. Along with that, Laura took Scarlet with her. This was bad. Like, really bad. Laura found another man on October 3. His name? Finn Taylor. They started dating a month later. But Laura didn't know one thing. You see, Finn was a former criminal. He was infamous for things with kids that I refuse to put here for obvious reasons. He was also arrested 13 times between 1958 and 1971. Thirteen. Longtime viewers of my signups will know what Finn did to him next. If you don't, well, he tortured him while Laura was gone for work. Did Laura know? Absolutely not. Scarlet was forced to hide the scars with some fake skin Finn had. You can probably imagine what happened to him. He was pretty upset as he hated himself. He tried telling others at school. Obviously, they thought he was joking. Besides his friend group. Every Sunday, when Laura would allow him to see his friends for a few hours, he showed them the scars. Finn never found out that Scarlet's friends knew Finn tortured Scarlet so often it was a routine. This went on until 1987. Finn thought it was a great idea to sent Scarlet to the military. Keep in mind he was drunk at this time. When Laura came home that day, she realized Scarlet was nowhere to be found. Finn forgot he was drunk and told him every single thing he ever did. Laura was mad. She filed for divorce the next day. The minimum age for joining the Ashbutalian Military Services (AMS) was 17. Scarlet was immediately qualified as he was 17. He finally figured out how to control his emotions. He was actually insanely good as a newbie, as he started gun training at 14. Yes, 14. Such a young age. He was sent into the Ashbutailian-Deznophobic Conflict a few months later and became one of the only people left in the war. He defeated Deznophobin by ending it's leader, Herman Fernandes. Because of this, he was awarded the Ashbutalian Golden Rifle Award in 1988, becoming the youngest person to own an Ashbutalian Golden Rifle, at just 18. He soon became insanely famous. Deznophobin was officially destroyed and no longer considered a country as nobody was left there. Eventually, he decided to take a break from the military, as the holiday season was approaching. He booked a hotel room on November 28, 1988. He was a normal person again around this time. He celebrated Christmas like many others. He went on a lot of talk shows where he talked about his life, the 11 years of trauma he had when Finn was his father, how he regained his emotions when he joined the military, how he got the Ashbutalian Gold Rifle Award, and what he current does. One specific talk show, Meet The Famous with Macintosh Blue, was special, as the host, Macintosh Blue, literally cried while hearing Scarlet's backstory. He returned to the military on January 2, 1989. He was sent to another conflict, the Bashtek-Ashbutailian War, but he had to stop a few days later due to a large wound in his arm. He sprang back to action a month later. However, he couldn't see who was who and instead fatally shot his commander by accident. When he came back, he confessed. Obviously, the head of the military was mad. He disqualified Scarlet and arrested him, even though Scarlet kept saying that it was an accident. He was sentenced to death. Scarlet kept pleading in court. The judge didn't listen. He was now stuck in a cell. And he had to figure out how to escape. Fast. In 1992, a year before his scheduled execution, he escaped. Nobody knows how. It was speculated after an investigation that he found a small can of Sticky Stuff in his cell, put it on his hands, climbed out of the insanely small hatch, and escaped. He became a vigilante and went by the name Acacia. He ended anyone he saw with his Golden Rifle. He was wanted by the government. Infamous. People went missing because of him. The madness had begun. Three years later, in 1995, he was searching for his next target in a forest at night. But then... reality warped. He was now in the Multiverse of Insanity. He could choose a universe that he wanted. Surprisingly, he chose Camp Ourple's universe.
