## Biography

#### Early life

Morgan, at age nine was left stranded in the woods during a school trip for 3 days. Their experiences with the wild first-hand changed them mentally and caused them to develop a ruleset they would follow for the rest of their life. Until age 11, their parents insisted on making them "normal", to make them easier to raise, but by age 11 had decided it would be easier not to. Age 11 was also when they met John, in a fighting ring in the year 7 DT room.

#### Late 2014

In the second half of 2014, Jane Ebert took Morgan's fish tank, presumably as revenge. In attempt to get it back, Morgan and John began to follow leads and start an increasingly destructive crusade against those suspected as having it.

After a violent confrontation with Jane, the fish is recovered but the police are called. Morgan is placed in custody and tried for a long list of crimes. From this point onwards, Morgan is homeless and a fugitive of the law.

#### 2015

Morgan and John reaches an airport, and under fake names get on a plane to New Orleans, USA. They're still outlaws, but with a bigger hiding place.

## Personality

Morgan shows a complete disregard to law, authority, and those they are not already close with, yet is completely able to form deep, intimate and emotional relationships. Morgan is disinterested in politics, and is more willing to live a life of self preservation, and disregard for anyone that stands in the way of that, in their own words, "not an anarchist, I don't read long books and smash up windows, I just prioritise my own feelings over the government's".

Morgan is very outspoken about dislike or dispute against ideas, claims, and people. They are insistent they are always correct, and in most cases, actually are.

Morgan organises their brain in an unusual way, and will sometimes let this slip out in conversation, such as randomly referring to things, people or ideas as things like "section b" "the inverse" or "the root". Morgan has taught most of this to John, and will sometimes talk about issues in that way, believing it's more accurate to what they are feeling (not that they struggle any more than others to express emotions in English, but instead because this "language" apparently has more depth than any widely spoken one).

## Trivia

* The name Morgan was chosen from a google search of "gender neutral names", other considered names were Ash and Avery, but were later chosen unfitting.
	+ Avery was later chosen as the name for Elizabeth's girlfriend, although this was completely unrelated to the original name for the protagonist.
* The title "[Protagonist Name] Vs Various Shit" was decided upon before any plot or tonal details.
	+ The "shit" was changed to "shits" to make it clear that this was referring to multiple individuals, not just the general unpleasant things in life, and because it fit with the series lackluster feeling more
