Alex Knight

Nothing much, I like to put my backstory into the community so when the time comes they can roleplay with me in-game

Hello, I have been wondering around Asylum servers for quite a bit now and I never got around making an account on their website. I am an active member of Asylum #2 I want to present a backstory of my character I play in-game just in case I run into anyone who wants to truly RP with me. Backstory Alexander Knight was born in France, born by two parents of American decent who had moved there years prior for work. Up until the age of ten his life was rather normal and free of stress. But around that time his father started to degenerate, his work schedule getting smaller, his free time more and more spent at the local bars. Nothing too noticeable yet. But when Alexander turned 13 his father was laid off. Things began to become considerably darker after that. His father spent more time in the bars, and when he did come home it was late, and Alexander would either be awoken by the sounds of screaming and yelling, or worse. The soft sobbing of his mother on the other side if the wall. Alexander knew his father was hitting his mother, he could see the bruises the next day, and when whenever he raised his hand his mother would flinch. When he was drunk he was a menace, a thing to be avoided. Definitely not his father...but when he was sober, when he was himself, he was still his father, still his loving father. Alexander came to hate the moments when he was drunk, and rely on the moments he was sober even more. But when Alexander was fourteen he left. Just disappeared. Alexander and his mother never saw or heard from him again, and neither could bear his absence. Life became considerably more difficult after that, money was hard to come by, and Alexander had to pick up an under the table job at a restaurant to help. It was during this time, when Alexander was fifteen, that his life took another dive. One night Alexander dropped a tray of dishes, shattering the entire thing. In anger the manager fired him right there, sending him home three hours early. And what he found there was something no teenage boy should ever have to discover. In their deficit of cash Alexander's mother turned to the only thing she knew that could get money quick for large amounts. Prostitution... Alexander and his mothers relationship decayed severely after this. His mother quit, as Alexander had requested, but it was still there, it had still happened. His mother was ashamed of it, and Alexander herself was stunned. Over the next four years went by slowly, and the two grew apart more and more. A fractured relationship that neither could manage to fix. Alexander managed to secure a steady job, and got his own apartment by the time he was 18. He lived away from his mother for the next year, never visiting. Finally, after a year of never seeing or talking to his mother, Alexander finally felt that maybe he could repair their relationship. When Alexander finally visited he was torn apart by what he found. His mother had once again devolved into a sorry state, harboring a serious drug addiction to heroine was at the pinnacle of his mother’s issues. Alexander was shocked, and filled with regret. His mother’s life had been hard, and rather than assist her... he had shunned her, and only quickened her spiral to this point in life. Alexander felt life couldn’t get worse at this point, definitely at his lowest point. He quickly contacted the proper authorities and had his mother put into rehab, forking out the cost to maintain it. He then came into a slight depression and acquired a lack of motivation to do anything but his work. Many noticed this and grew concerned as they watched him in his day to day life. It was finally, at the request of another, that Alexander take up a hobby, and so he chose, in an interest to escape reality, drug dealing. And to even further this interest he decided to start with cocaine...his first mistake... I hope you enjoyed reading this, have a great day & see you guys in game
