## Biography

Donnie is the only one of the kingdom quartet to be born and sheltered in Rivendell. Early on, Donnie’s mother left him and his father without warning and has not been seen since. To compensate for the lost income, Donnie’s father spent most hours of the day working two jobs and was absent for the large part of Donnie’s childhood. Instead of childcare, Donnie was partially raised by his aunt who lived in the same area as Donnie and his father.

Generally, Donnie was left alone at school. He was unremarkable in the eyes of his peers, but good enough company to keep around. Until highschool, life was uneventful after his mother’s departure.

Entering highschool, Donnie had a lot of free time on his hands compared to his friends. As there was never anyone to pick him up, never anyone to encourage him, nor anyone to pay for any kind of extracurricular lessons; Donnie seemed to have little to no hobbies. To fill in the lonely time, Donnie worked his way into social circles that frequently had parties and he began to experiment with various substances. With no supervision or discipline from his father and equally absent aunt, Donnie began spending more and more time riding out different highs and recovering from hangovers alone in his room. Finances were not really the main concern for Donnie; he was likable enough to attend enough gatherings with free things going around to sustain a pleasant high to get him through the week. The problem was that none of his peers- with their families and their sports clubs and their passions- were available enough to be around on Donnie’s command. At this point, Donnie began paying out of pocket for the new demands of his gradually desensitized mind. Towards the end of highschool, this new addiction was no longer sustainable. While bargaining with a plug on the phone in his room, his aunt overheard the conversation. So began the year long hell of blackmail and extortion between Donnie and his sick aunt.

The inevitable overdose came one unfortunate night which left Donnie and his father alone in a hospital room and brought them together for what would be the last time. That night, Donnie’s father disowned him; unable to handle the immense shame, betrayal, and guilt from not being able to keep Donnie happy despite all of his sacrifices for the security of his son’s life. With nowhere else to go, Donnie was threatened by the prospect of now exclusively living at his aunt’s house. Ultimately, this fear was the driving force in convincing Donnie to sober up. Within the months leading up to his 20th birthday, Donnie got a job and moved out into a shared apartment and even got his first serious girlfriend. Things seemed to look up- ignoring that one time he was struck by lightning, which for some reason only mildly ached but is probably irrelevant to the story and has no consequence so forget about it and don’t ask ever again. Truly, it was wonderful... up until Donnie’s 22nd birthday where his girlfriend announced she would be running away with Donnie’s father. The devastating news sent Donnie into shock which he attempted to soothe with a relapse. Again, Donnie was hospitalised but with more severe consequences. Following a seizure, psychogenic amnesia from the years of substance abuse in combination with unbearable psychological trauma claimed three years of Donnie’s memory, causing him to awake believing he just had his first overdose (the same one he had at 19, causing his father to leave). Waking up alone had led him to assume his father had already left, but he had no explanation for the alien face in the room. As comforting as the flashy, toothy smile was, Donnie had no idea who this man was to him…
