==Background==
Clay was born to a very religious [Protestant] family. His Father was a Priest in the neighborhood church. As a child he was forced into Sunday school, and to participate in the Church. When his brother was born, they both were made Alter boys. He did have an older brother, but never knew him all that well. He was far older and the Vatican Church took him in soon after he graduated.
As a teen, Clay began to hate the rules and implications of the Church and his parents. He began to rebel... HARD. His parents to get stricter on him and his brother. At the age of 16, Clay started to teach himself Guitar, and found a passion in Metal and Punk music for its rebellious sound and statements.
His parents were NOT happy with this. And thus, Clay could not live with them any longer. at the age of 17, after he started dating a girl named Adley he was kicked out of his house, and was kept out of touch with his brother. Because Clay was his brothers biggest role model, their parents felt that removing this black sheep would sanctify their younger son. This was very painful for him as they were extremely close. But he knew they didn't have a handle on his brother either. Just before he left for good, with only a duffel bag full of clothes, he told his brother to stick it out until he turned 18, and then they would reunite.
Adley was not the best role model in the world, but she came from a rough childhood. similar to Clay, she came from a VERY protective family, and she rebelled from them. Soon finding herself a drifter. While Clay and 'Addy' struggled and drifted, they did it together. After while they were able to afford a small studio apartment. Working odd jobs. Adley also turned out to be a pretty amazing Singer, and Clay and her would play every now and then at odd dive bars around the city. Scrounging up money from the shows and getting a small following of fans.
From the odd jobs and the shows they were putting on, they were even able to purchase a Ford bronco to get around better. Which actually allowed them to play more shows as they could now go further! At one show, they met a girl in during the after party. She seemed to have some issues of her own, but claimed she was a superb Bassist. Clay and Addy looked at each other and figured, if they had a bassist they would be able to make more music, and potentially get their name out more! So they gave this girl a shot. And she blew them away! Her name was 'Carrie', and she was brought in with open arms!
Their next show was immensely successful! After a little over a year of playing like this, they all decided to have auditions for 2 more. A drummer, and a back up Guitarist. After weeks of searching, at the end of a show, they found their back up guitarist in Shane. And a lengthy audition period, found the most unlikely drummer in Ben. While he didnt look the part, his Drumming was out of this world.
With the band fully together, they began to really pull in fans. All over the city, people would come to hear the music of Blacklite Sunrise. A Punk/Metal band with a Female singer. And they really took off! 
Carrie Clay and Addy became REALLY good friends. Addy and Carrie did quite a lot together. mostly for the girl time. But Carrie had a similar upbringing to Clay, and Adley would ask Carrie a lot of questions to understand Clay sometimes.
Clay began to bounce for the larger Clubs and Bars in LA for work. And gained a lot of respect in the scene. People knew him on stage, and would often get his autograph before letting them into the club. Sometimes he would make guest appearances on stage while bouncing too. While Addy bar tended most of the bars he would bounce at. They made an excellent team. And started making a pretty cozy life together.
Clay even started going to College. His interest was peaked at an Occult class, taught by a strange gentleman. And only LATE at night. But he took it anyway. 
Their lives were starting to get very comfortable and successful. Even Clay's brother, Theo recently called him. He was free. He had just graduated and had the freedom to emancipate from their parents. Clay was ecstatic! He took him our for a beer at one of the bars he bounced at and they talked about everything. the last few years that they had no contact. Theo was back in Clay's life. Everything was starting to really come together.
Though Addy and Clay still caused a lot of havoc and got into a lot of trouble around the city. That was just their nature. Clay was once pulled over for trying to drag race his bronco. he didn't win of course. but hey, it was for the thrill of it. Clay even got kicked out of college, most likely deserved, but still it was some bull shit. 
A patron of the bar once got a little too handsy with Addy once, and Clay pulled him out of the bar. The next time that man was seen was at the hospital. It is still debated how he got there.
