## Backstory (Tommy)

Tommy was put in prison for 10 years for the brutal murder of his sister's assassin. He was deemed insane, but police didn't bother to put him alone in an insane asylum as they feared that he might try to harm himself because of the reported voices in head he was hearing. Tommy found a way to escape by faking his suicide. He hung a corpse that looked like him and wrote a suicide note so the police would think he was deceased. He ran off to the city of London, where he would be hired by an assassin's agency that made him complete peril missions for hundreds to thousands of British pounds. In September of 2004, he was assigned to complete a mission that involved Professor EXE and his plan to destroy the city of London with a pipe bomb on the Big Ben. During his mission, he was supposed to murder a teen with a teal hoodie (Corey) that was stopping him from reaching the Big Ben. He had him cornered and scared, ready to kill him, but he confessed that Professor EXE made him try to murder Tommy and exposed his plans for domination of the city. They team up and together, they stop Professor EXE. Assuming that he was killed in the accident, Tommy and Corey feel glad that he's gone for good. They end up becoming best friends and start their duo as the Duo of Mischief.

## Backstory (Corey)

Corey had been in prison for robbing a bank so he could provide for his neglectant mother. Realising that she never loved him, he had thoughts on killing himself, believing that he wasted his life for nothing. However, he finds freedom after Professor EXE helps him escape prison. He makes a deal to Corey that he would give him £8,000 in cash if he completed a task for him. If he does not complete this task, he will be executed. He wanted to escape, but he was threatened by the Professor that he would turn him in to the police if he refused. Realising he had no other way out of this, he accepted the deal and went on his way to kill Tommy, the Professor's arch nemesis. He tries to kill Tommy, but no matter how hard he tries, he always get knocked down. He gets defeated, but before Tommy kills him, Corey confesses to Tommy that Professor EXE made him do it and tells him his plans for destroying the city. The two decide to fight against him and defeat him. Corey later confesses to Tommy that he has nowhere to go and feels like he's useless and fighting alone. Tommy reassures him that he's not alone and offers him to stay with him. He joins Tommy and they formed a crime duo together.

## Backstory (Clyde)

Clyde had been invading many different cities, but when he was 16 years old, he was force to attack the country of France. If he didn't, he would be severely punished by his creator. He only managed to seize 16 lives and destroy 4 buildings before his genocide would come to a halt by the government. He was sent back to England, where he was send to a specialised maximum security insane asylum. Because he had some humanoid features, such as his robot arms that turned to guns when activated, he was chained up and restricted from movement so he couldn't cause harm to the doctors. He managed to escape the prison. He went to Hellbent High School to blend in with society. Out of anger, he bullied the majority of the school. Two of his victims were Corey and Tommy, with Tommy being bullied more as he pissed him off the most. Tommy decided to take revenge and spread nasty rumours about his right eye, which was covered with an eyepatch. It caught the attention of the school and Clyde got bullied back. After realising that his reputation was damaged, he had plans of taking his life away with a pistol in the mens' bathroom. Tommy found him and stopped him from doing it, telling him that he's sorry for deteriorating his reputation and wants to make it up to him. Clyde accepts his apology and joins Tommy and Corey's gang, officially calling it The Black Friday Crew.

## Backstory (Levi)

Levi had been bullied by some many people because of his voice. He had been so talkative that many people grew jealous over his voice. They would slit his throat and joke around that he needed his mouth sewn shut as he was very loquacious. Levi was also made fun of for his eyes as he part of the possessed population, causing him to have no pupils. He became sick of school, so he decided to withdrawal and never return. He ended living on the streets, because of his psychosis telling him he was unwanted at home. He became friends with two serial killers named Susan and Ace, and would form a group called the Late Night Trouble Makers. They were the most infamous gang that was never caught until Susan and Ace were caught and arrested, leaving Levi alone and forcing him to move to the city of London to hide from the police. He decided to mail himself off somewhere by going inside a huge box. When he got to London, he was found by the Black Friday Crew, who would later take him as a new member of the Black Friday Crew. To avoid associating with his old gang. he borrowed a some clothes from Tommy and used some red fabric to make a blindfold for his eyes, changing himself completely. Due to past trauma, he became selectively mute.

## Backstory (Grey)

Grey had been a victim of abuse for most of his life. One particular night, while reading a book for school, Grey's step-father came into his room and told him to come to the kitchen. He complained to him about the dirty trays and told him to clean them or he will be punished. Grey did exactly what he was told. Later, his step-father, along with mother, and his step-siblings Shred and Dread, came into the kitchen. Shred and Dread were both tied to chairs out of their will and watched the horrific scene of Grey getting abused. Grey was later shoved violently to a counter, where he was whipped with a belt.
