## Backstory

### WELCOME TO THE FAMILY PT. 1

Daniel Lucas Ray, one of three kids of mother, Laundra Tilly Jones and Lucas Miles Ray, was not born into a great family. He wasn’t even born into a semi-decent family. His birth was nothing but special. His mother went into labor while sitting in their home, with his father, until she went into labor. Hospital, birth, all that shit. He wasn’t bad looking at all, and he surely wasn’t much of a whiner. His parents didn’t care for him either way. They told the doctors to throw them in the daycare, with the rest of them. The nurses were shocked at the reaction, but they did it anyways (those stupid fucking, low payed nurses). Anyway, he sat in the basket, and just looked around.

### WHY DID WE HAVE A CHILD?

Daniel didn’t know it, but his life would be shit. Daniel never did much, as his parents just left him in the crib, alone. Luckily his older brother was there to help most of the time. His older brother was named Tim. Tim was also anything but normal. He was able to take care of himself at the age of 8, due to their parents' neglect. Daniel’s other brother was just a few years older than Daniel. He got close to his brothers, as their parents went to work. They had every meal together, and did everything as one. When he was finally able to go to daycare with them at the age of 1. He was sort of left by himself, as his brothers were too old for daycare. He personally isolated himself, and never really hung out with a lot of the other kids. At the end of the day, his parents picked him up, and then dropped him home, and then left the house again. This was the routine for every day. Now as a child, he didn’t know anything that was happening. His brothers however, did. By the age of 2, he was finally sent to pre-school. Yet again, he socially distanced himself from the rest of his classmates. The teachers would wonder why, and he would just say that it is fine. He did mildly well in school. At the age of 3, he became more alert to his whereabouts. At the end of school, he got into his fist argument with a kid, who called him weird. He took that very personally. Little did he know that this was only the beginning. Age 4 and age 5 are kind of a blur. Not much happened, other than a few more arguments. He still socially distanced himself from his classmates.

### AGGRESSIVE MUCH?

Daniel was becoming a big boy now. He finally got out of those shit diapers that he left his shit in every day. He also was in 2nd grade. He never really talked to many other kids, and did the bare minimum in school. He never liked reading in public, and never raised his hands. His parents still neglected his brothers and him. His parents never addressed his separation from his classmates, or anything. Now, we never really got to know his parents did we? His father was a construction worker, and his mother? Let’s not talk about what his mother did. At the end of the day, as long as they fed them, they were fine. By the age of 7, he was becoming a kid who could handle himself. This was also when he got into his first fight. Sure it wasn’t much, but he still won. His oldest brother taught him a bit on how to throw a punch, as his brother was a bit of a fighter too. He was sort of limp with it, but he still did it. Now, in this fight, he fought a kid who probably knew the same amount of fighting as he did, or less. This kid was a dickhead to everyone he met. This kid's name is Marcus (I never got his full name). This would also not be the last encounter with him. This kid knew Daniel kept to himself, so he forced him into a conversation with girls, by telling them he liked them. They walked over, and started chatting, some telling him that he should stay to himself, and not speak again. He was very embarrassed, and the only words that came out of his mouth was, “What?” They walked off, and in the distance, he could see Marcus and Marcus’s friends laughing up a storm over there. Now he was fine with being called weird, but being made a fool out of was something you don’t fucking do. He snapped, and walked over to him, shoving him to the ground in the wood chips. His school did not have a lot of staff, so recess aids were not much of a thing. Marcus got back up, shoving him back. A few words were exchanged. One hit Daniel the hardest though. He was called a dumbass. Now, Daniel knew this word, and knew it well from his parents, and his brothers. He snapped instantly, jumping on top of the kid. One punch, two punch, three punch. Marcus couldn’t block for shit. It wasn’t until Marcus bit him (I still can’t believe the kid had to bite me to get me off of him). Marcus and Daniel duked it out for a bit. Marcus just happened to see an aid walking near with a kid next to her. Marcus was caught off guard, and Daniel swung an absolute haymaker into his nose. Marcus fell to the ground, holding his nose. The aid grabbed Daniel, and Daniel knew what was about to happen. Marcus was taken to the nurse, and Daniel was taken to the principal's office. Daniel had to spew his guts out to the numb-nose principle. Daniel was given a very stern warning, and so were his parents. What did his parents do? They did nothing. They “grounded” him, like he was staying in his room forever. In the end, they weren't around for them to know what he was doing. His brothers caught wind of this, and applauded him. 4th and 5th grade rolled around, and he got into 2 more fights. One with Marcus, and another with one of his friends. He won both, one fair and square, the other a little closer. Both times, he was given a warning (the school district didn’t really care). Now, we never explained where he lived. He lived in South LA. 3 gangs ruled over the land, and he woke up some nights to gun fire in the distance. Soon enough it was normal for him. He never got into any of these gangs, and never really liked the idea of them. He thought of them as people who just shot each other because they wanted to look cooler to more people. By the end of 5th grade, his parents were pretty much never around. Some nights, not coming to dinner. Never came to any of his school events, and sent him off, wherever he wanted to (he could go to Jupiter if he really wanted to).

### JOIN FIGHT CLUB!

Daniel, come middle school has gotten into 5 fights. But now he had to be careful. Now his school was able to suspend and expel him for fighting. He did fight in 6th grade with other kids, but usually after school. He won every single fight. His brother was doing well too. His brother actually introduced him to his own fighting club. This is where he met his oldest brother’s friends, and truly learned to fight. He didn’t actually start fighting until he was 13 though. He only trained. Now, at age 11, he was a good fighter, but school? That was never his strong suit. He did the bare minimum to get a pass, and made it through each grade like that, until the end. Since Daniel was in his brother's fight club, he decided to create his own. He created his own fight club, that would take place after school every Tuesday and Wednesday, and allow 10 fights max (only when he felt like it, as he had other things to do). Now each person would pick another person to fight, and the winner would gain some of the money betted against him. What was Daniel in this sense? He was the guy managing each fight. He told who was fighting what, he kept the bets in a lockbox, he ran the whole thing. At the start only 5 kids would show up, but once word spread, more and more showed up. Daniel would make decent money on it too. 7th grade comes around, everything seems to be going well. His fight club is booming, and everything else is working out well. His fight club was moved further from the school, in the wooded area about a quarter mile from the school (I still hate the fucking snitch). Now, he started using Fridays as well, just for extra cash. Now everyone knew Marcus was the only person not allowed in the fight club. Now it’s a Friday, everyone is ready for the weekend, and Daniel enjoyed watching kids beat themselves up for glory and money. Marcus (that little fuck head) decided to ruin it. Marcus steps in the man-made circle, and challenges Daniel. Now Marcus has fought Daniel probably 8 times by now. This was out of 16 fights Daniel has been in. Daniel has never fought someone in his own fight club. But if Marcus wanted it, Daniel is not going to disappoint. Even more so to do it, kids started betting, putting money in the box. He stepped in, and they fought for a good 10 minutes. Every punch was met with some reaction from the kids around them. The final blow? A square punch into the gut, later making Marcus puke behind a tree. Daniel was beaten, but he still won in the end. From that day on, kids would challenge him. 8th grade was full of fun. Every day he came home with either bloody knuckles, or bruises. His 20 fights at the end of 7th grade, jumped to 32 at the end of 8th grade. Each one was won by him.

### TROUBLE

Daniel when hitting into his freshman year of high school, was a big, and strong kid. He had gained a reputation in his grade, and the ones below. He was known as a kid who could rock your shit, for anything. He became more social, but not in a good way. Now, what ever happened to his other brother? He doesn’t know. His other brother left the house one day, and never came back (he could be dead for all I know of). Daniel started fighting in his hometown as well. He was talked to by the cops a few times, but it was for stuff like vandalism and petty shit like that. It wasn’t until that July that something happened that led to the best thing of his life. He was living with just himself at this point. He had a car and everything, and just finished a date with a girl. This girl knew him from the fight club, so he was good with hanging out with her. Afterwards he stopped at the gas station to get gas. Who was there? Marcus, and his smug self. They eyed each other in the parking lot. It’s late at night, and Daniel is already amped up, They exchange some words, until Marcus says another thing that he will never forget. Marcus called him a bitch who will never do anything but end up in jail, and die with no love. Now this was really uncalled for, so Marcus deserved this. He sprayed him with the pump as he was using it, and then tackled him. They slipped around as the pump was spilling gas all over the gas station. Daniel, yet again, winning the fight, yet again. But this time it was different, the station owner tried to stop them, turning off the pump before stepping in. Now Daniel was filled with adrenaline, so he didn’t know what he was doing. He was pulled off the Marcus, but before the man could fully stop him, Daniel grabbed the guy's head, slamming it against the hood of the car. The guy was knocked out, but he didn’t realize Marcus ran off. Sooner or later, the guy wakes up, and the cops show up. Daniel runs. Daniel runs faster than he ever could before. Daniel ran for a good 15 minutes before getting tired and stopping at a corner. The cops got behind him, trying to get a hold of him, he turned, punching the cop, making his stumble back (he wasn’t that big). He was then tased by another cop and arrested. He was charged with 3 accounts of 2nd degree aggravated assault (my lawyer lowered it to 2, by the luck of christ).

### ESCAPING HELL

Daniel was later sent to hell himself. He was sent to the Amherst Academy. This school is where they send kids like him who are just so bad, and make them good (most of these kids slapped someone's wrist or were not nice to the old man around the corner). Daniel was introduced to everything. Here are his opinions on everything. It’s shit…Now let’s go into depth. Bullies are just people who are too insecure about their own issues, and Nonnies are people who either don’t care, or are too annoying for any clique to let them join. Preps are snobs who deserve to burn, and Greasers are a bunch of kids who think they have “style.” Nerds are well, nerds, and varsity are a bunch of dumb brutes. He didn’t want to stay there long, but he made the most of it. How did he make the most of it? He bullied kids for fun. He was never a bully, but he was big enough to be one. He bullied weaker Nonnies and nerds. He gained a reputation as the bully Nonnie. This caught the attention of the bullies. These bullies were not happy that he was doing their job. Did they fight all the time? Did he win, of course. The bullies later just let him do his thing. Now, the Prefects and Faculty were a different story. They had more issues than him (and that’s saying something). The Prefects always tried to catch him fighting (those corrupt bastards). At the end of his Sophomore year at this academy, he finally got caught. Now try to understand that this kid was one massive amount of something (I can’t remember what). Daniel saw a wonderful nerd near a fountain, and the nerd noticed him and got scared. He walked over, asking him one question. How are you? Now Daniel knew what this conversation would lead to. In the end the nerd said something wrong, and it was punishment time. Daniel grabbed the nerd by the head, shoving his head into the water. He did this multiple times, allowing the kid to gasp for air. No one stopped him, as they knew they would join. Soon enough the kid fell limp, and Daniel threw him to the ground (no he was not dead, and was still alive). Faculty and 2 Prefects start walking up, oh goody. Daniel asks them what they want, and the Prefect says you're coming with us. Daniel says over my dead body. The Perfect lunges at Daniel. Daniel is able to grab the paddle and punch the Prefect in the stomach. The other Prefect comes in and Daniel gets hit in the leg with the paddle. Daniel retaliates by throwing a punch to the Prefect's jaw. Faculty joins in and Daniel throws a punch into their side, and kicks them backwards. Daniel is surprised, and hit in the back of the head with a paddle. Daniel stands there, swinging around hitting them square in the balls, making them fall to the ground. Daniel fights the other two for a while before being foot swept, and then wacked upside the head, being knocked out. Later, he woke up in the infirmary with his parents at the foot of the bed. His parents called him a dumbass, like Marcus did years ago. He told off his parents. Next up was the headmaster. He was told by them that he was expelled. Daniel gave him the double flip off, and told him to suck it. The Headmaster was done with him. The kid he waterboarded? The kid was next to him in the bed behind the curtain. Since they were gonna be there for a few days, he decided to mess with the kids' heads. He made sure the kid was afraid of being jumped, by laughing at random moments, talking to him, threatening him, etc. He enjoyed it (the other kid did not. I’m sure of it). Once he was kicked outside of the campus. He met the Townies. The Townies invited him since they heard of what he did, and liked him very quickly.

Daniel never liked the nerds. They were always...nerdy. He used them as a way to get kicked out of the school. He even used a fountain to down one. He later made that kid think he was going to die. He will never like these people.
