## History

### Early Life

Unlike most students at Stonewall Prep, Fangs didn't grow up with any silver spoons.

He was born as Edward Fogarty on the Southside and resided in a cheap trailer park with his drug-addicted single mother. He lived most of his childhood with her in that trailer park, and they would always have to scavenge trash bins for food and have to deal with gang members vandalizing their home. But nothing was too complicated until a few years later.

Fangs was only thirteen when he came home from school one day and found an eviction notice on his trailer. Turns out, his mother hadn't paid rent in years. When he confronted her about it, she told him that it was because she just simply didn't have the money. She told him that if they wanted to stay in the trailer, they would have to work. So she handed Fangs ten straws with powder in them. She told him that he had to sell the straws so they could get money and be able to stay at home. Like the obedient child he was, Fangs took off to the streets in a hurry to make some money. He approached gang members and crackheads and offered them drugs for a few hundred dollars, an surprisingly, he made seven hundred bucks on his first outing without knowing how much the heroin would sell for.

Fangs was happy with how much money he had made and walked home ready to make his mother happy again, but when he walked in he found his mother having sex with an older man. Fangs' mother shouted and ordered him to sit outside until she was done. Afterwards, the man left, and Fangs confronted his mother. She explained to him that she was doing her part in making the money like he was doing his. Fangs then asked if he could do it, too, because he thought it would pay more. His mother slapped him across the face and told him that if he ever had sex with a man she would kill him.

Over the next year, Fangs became the sole caregiver of his mother. She now complained that she was too old to be a useful prostitute, and almost constantly insulted Fangs. Sometimes she even forgot that he was her own son, as she started suffering from schizophrenia. Fangs really wanted to buy her treatment, but he just didn't have the money even when he was becoming a drug runner 24/7, and was still living in a trailer park and attending a high school riddled with drugs.

However that all changed when Fangs was invited. Fangs was called into the headmaster's office one day and when he arrived he found that he was offered a place in Stonewall Prep, a prestigious academy, by Mr. RuPont, a teacher there. RuPont had claimed that he had read Fangs' short story, "On Featherless Wings", and was highly impressed by it. He also told him that money wasn't a factor, as Fangs was being invited to the academy. Fangs happily agreed to the offer and told his mother that he would be going to a successful school to get the education he wanted so he could get a high-paying job to take care of her.

To his dismay, his mother did nothing but grunt. But Fangs knew that she was proud and if she wasn't so sick then she would seem happier. So he used some money that he had in stock for her as well as some borrowed from his Southside friends, and bought a small apartment room in the Northside of River City so his mother would have a place to stay near Stonewall.

However, after Fangs' first year at Stonewall, he realized that he was to start paying. He didn't exactly have the money, and his mother's apartment was becoming a little too expensive. So, in a hurry, Fangs decided that he needed to join some kind of gang. But in Northside River City, most gangs are part of organized crime, something that Fangs didn't want to get mixed up in. So, in desperate search, Fangs decided to stalk a member that he assumed was from a gang so he could see where they were hiding out.

His stalking was successful, and he stopped by an old abandoned building and walked inside. There, he found a gathering of what looked like a gang to him. The leader of it all was impressed with Fangs' stalking skill, and invited him to join the gang by the name of the Dark Dagger. Fangs agreed and over the next few months started asking for money, which he got every time. But when he realized that the gang was actually a cult killing off innocent Anthropomorphics, he left and swore he'd never come back.
