## **Childhood**

Cookie was born on March 12, 2080 into the Barkley Family. His mother was Luna Barkley, a (occupation), and his father, Ace Barkley, who was training to be an official astronaut for Feroxian Aeronautics and Space Administration (FASA). Cookie was raised with his father and mother up until the age of 9, where he learned everything his father knew about the universe beyond their world. Because of his father, Cookie hoped to be an astronaut once he got older. But, on the night of x/x/2089, Cookie’s parents were both tragically shot during a break-in by an anonymous robber. Cookie had survived, as he escaped through the kitchen window and ran to his trusty neighbor’s house where his best friend, Rocco Egabrag and his family lived. Cookie explained the situation to Rocco and his parents, and Rocco’s parents called the police. Cookie and the Egabrag’s were interviewed by an officer named Baci Eros. Cookie was allowed to stay with the Egabrag family that night. However, it was a long, miserable night. In this time, Rocco comforted Cookie to the best of his abilities.

Officer Eros had arrived back at the Egabrag’s doorstep the next day pass over the news that both of Cookie's parents had died overnight, Luna being dead since the officers first arrived and Ace dying shortly after they found them. As for the home transfer, Cookie’s Aunt, who lived in in the same city as he did, was to take him in. Her name was Mist Lykaios, and she had two sons named Shadow and Troy Lykaios. Cookie, however, was strongly disconnected with Mist and his cousins. Cookie was housed by his Aunt and cousins for approximately a year, and it was the most awful experience. Cookie was constantly harassed, beaten, and mocked by his cousins and sometimes his Aunt in the rare instances when they interacted with each other. Cookie was only provided a small, unused closet with an old, broken mattress and ragged beach towels as warmth to stay in. The only privileges he got was to use the old garbage in the closet that the Lykaios family did not use / want. Other than that, he could not leave his closet unless he had to use the restroom or was eating. He was only allowed two small meals a day, which were usually the nasty scraps from the meal the Lykaios’ got. He ate at a ratty corner with some cardboard boxes as a table and a seat built just for him. He was not allowed to eat in his closet out of Mist’s fear of attracting more bugs which might spread throughout the home. So, Cookie was generally unhappy with his life at this point. He developed a love and respect for comedy at this point, humoring himself with jokes and ideas that he would present to silently himself and almost always to his parents in the stars. He made the most of what he had the best he could in this time, but it was difficult. Great sadness and grief often overcame him and became a common and familiar feeling throughout his days in the Lykaios’ home. This is where Possessed Cookie originated from.

As Cookie got a year older, he got sadder that his parents were not there to experience it with him, or even have it celebrated at all. If anything, Mist urged the Lykaios brothers to treat him even worse than they normally did. These actions eventually snapped Cookie into a great anger, in which he defended and stood up for himself properly. Mist did not take to this unfamiliar action kindly. Seeing as his defense wouldn’t be backing down, Mist decided to take things further than she would have ever thought before. She commanded that the brothers take Cookie wherever they wanted and instill in his mind that he was powerless, weak, and nothing compared to the Lykaios family and did not deserve their same rights however way the brothers desired. The brothers decided to drag him to a nearby alleyway and beat him senseless, saying with every punch how worthless he was. They continued this for a while until some local patrol officers passed by the alley and noticed what was happening. The patrol party quickly took the two brothers down and two officers helped Cookie out. The brothers had nearly knocked him unconscious. He was terribly bloodied up in the face, his ears had been torn up badly, he was covered in bruises, and was terribly weak. One of the patrol officers so happened to be the same officer who interviewed Cookie on the night of his parent’s death, Officer Eros, and he recognized him almost immediately. Officer Eros had volunteered to help out Cookie recover while the other officers questioned the brothers and eventually arrested them, along with Mist for child abuse.

After a few days of recovery, it came the question of where Cookie would live after getting fully recovered. They had found that most of Cookie’s other family members were still alive and well, but living in separate countries. It was planned that Cookie would just be put in an orphanage where he would be adopted by some other trustworthy family. But, Baci decided that he wanted to adopt Cookie as his own child, as his bond was so strong with Cookie. Baci was mocked by some other officers for his decision, but he didn’t let it affect him. He filled out all the necessary paperwork and claimed that he was willing to take care of Cookie as his own child. And so began the next chapter of Cookie’s life.

## **Teen Years & Coming Out**

Now living with Baci Eros, Cookie had the power of freedom once more. He was so grateful and so happy to be living in some place other than the Lykaios’ home where he could do what he wanted. He discovered that he loved to play the guitar, and wasn’t too bad at it. Baci wasn’t a musician himself, but his father was. So, Cookie had gotten freedom, a new home, and guitar lessons that month. He had been transferred to a better school, with a generally better set of people. He was finally excited about his life.

Few years pass normally, and he graduated from middle school at the age of 14.

Highschool were the years of discovery. Here, he discovered more of who he was. Sophomore year, Cookie believed that it was mandatory to get a girlfriend. So, he tried getting with many different girls, most of which put him down because of his inexperience, except for one girl. Her name was Alice X, and she was erratic. Cookie didn’t know. He had never truly interacted with a female like this. Cookie considered himself to be her boyfriend for a while, but then he slowly started realizing how uncomfortable and awkward she made him. She was unkind, ratty, and didn't take her personal hygiene seriously, and was just generally a rude and irrational person. Cookie was determined that this was going to be his one and only girlfriend, until one night. Alice brought Cookie home with her, and Cookie was a little nervous by this. After a little while, Alice started getting some dirty thoughts and attempted to push through Cookie's boundries, and this is where Cookie had finally realized that this was wrong. Cookie escaped and fled from her house all the way back toward his house and vowed to never go home with a female alone again.

Cookie had just assumed that all females were just like her, and was automatically shut off by them. He was so confused for a while, and he felt invalid because of his dislike of females. He felt so lost and confused up until he met a kid named Gavin Michaels. He was perfect in every way, and they became close friends fast. Soon enough, they developed a liking for each other that was past “close friends”. Cookie thought that this attraction was never to be seen before and he was the weirdest creature on planet Solus, but quickly discovered that it wasn’t uncommon. It was called being “gay”, and he thought he fit the description perfectly. After this, issues and confusion with his gender attraction made more sense, and he finally was feeling better about himself. He built up the courage to tell Baci that he was gay, and Baci ended up not minding and supported Cookie. Gavin and Cookie were boyfriends for a while. However, when they graduated from high school, Gavin moved out of the country and lost all connection and contact with Cookie. Cookie felt crushed and didn't know what to do after that.
