## Background

Kevin was born to his 18-year-old parents, Martha and Lawrence Vincent. He have lived an average childhood until his mother's passing from leukemia in 1987. After her demise, Kevin's father had started to cope by snorting cocaine. This ultimately led to the tragic childhood of Kevin. Unlike other people, Kevin did not let the abuse turn him into a different person and attended Avendure Secondary school in year 8 to get an education. He met Stephanie George, who would protect Kevin from his bully, Richard Wright. They later all attended Hellbent High School together. In year 12, Kevin and Richard got into an ugly fight that would force them to reconcile by working on a Psychology project together. They finished it and found some things in common with each other. While at Richard's house, Richard indirectly found out about Kevin's abuse and reported the authorities. Kevin and Richard would soon make the greatest band in London on 30 September 1999.

## Mental Health

Kevin has been shown to be suffering from some mental illnesses such as depression and panic attacks. His depression is very minor, but when he does have these episodes, he has his last resorts to either run away from home or harm himself, which includes suicide. However, his depressive episodes can be cured if he is found hope or goes to his friend Richard for help. His panic disorder is much more difficult to treat however. His panic attacks are usually caused by his fear of failure or situations that seem difficult to get out of. He can only stop panicking if he has Richard by his side. If he's in a situation where he is not there, he will try to hurt himself until he is numb.
