• his name is damien jango shapiro
•  born to interracial couple, abel and serena, two young optimists with big dreams and a relative love for their animals. just two weeks after moving to australia, they were blessed with their son's presence and from there, it's a rollercoaster. they think that they're ready, but for the first five years of their life their eyes needed to legit be glued to the back of his head of else he was gone in 2.5 seconds. luckily, he had parents who were able to handle it like a pro, taking turns while continuing their course of study. by the time he was five years old, his attention span was the to the extent of a goldfish and his apprehension was to the max, house training didn't particularly keep him out of the trouble his parents so desperately hoped that he'd be able to avoid so they had no choice but to put him on medication.
• so abel and serena, optimistic couple of the world, whom loved their son dj with all of their heart despite him being in first grade reading even by fourth, was also in a very sketchy company who's claim that they love animals is similar to the claim of the pound. serena and abel remained in the dark of the truth; one that involved animals used as science subjects to in turn enhance their abilities. in a way, their claim was to bring stability to those getting extinct, so they could handle themselves but it only proved to be familiar after failure. again, his parents remained in the dark about this, satisfied with their luscious life with their perfect child, healthy and adventurous lifestyles, and beautiful beach house so for the time being all was good and well of course, until it wasn't.
• before tragedy hit, little dj was already doing a hard time in school. gregarious, he was, but he was so in a way that rather made him the butt of the joke rather than being apart of the joke. at first, he was oblivious, but once he figured it out he denied it. his obligation to wanting to be liked was far more important, drawing them to the fact that he wasn't the smartest in the book, though his asshole teacvher ms jerald put him in the spot every time leading him to put that on display and again, rather than being apart of the joke, he was the joke and honestly it was devastating.
• he'd acquired interest, mostly in history, but the fear of failure between the mixture of not being good enough became a course that drew him into avoiding homework than both asking for help and trying at all. by seven years old, while his father was enthralled in his own work, dj would hide his homework and reassure that he did it. his parents were far too busy to come to any of his report card pickups allowing them to be unaware of just how badly he was doing and by the time report cards came around, go to great efforts to hide them. just this within itself broke him down mentally,,,, so imagined how he felt when his parents found out.
• he was forced to get help by a local tutor who'd wanted him to do nothing but succeed. at first,,, he was totally bummed about her. not because he didn't like her, because he did, but because he was disappointed in himself. was in denial that he needed any help at all, but as it continued he developed an emotional attachment to her, almost as if she was his best friend no matter how corny that sounded. he was also in love with sumo, her dog.
• oh yea,,,, on his ninth birthday he drank the chemicals from his parents' sketchy lab place thinking that it was soda and it gave him the ability to turn into whatever he wants, therefore he could also?? sort of communicate with sumo and they argue back and forth as if they're siblings. he has trouble still doing the whole 'transformation' to this day and sometimes will have a sharkhead and human legs.
• which, this was something else he was able to keep for a year. it was meant to only be for his parents,,, but ya know ya boy showed off to his friends "therefore" causing a domino effect of tragedies, including his parents mysteriously drowning during one of their marine biology trips for work. from that day on until this very moment he still minimally talks about it, doesn't even want to think about it, and any time anyone mentions it he's quick to change the subject or work humor into the mix as almost a defense mechanism.
• oddly charming in a way, you think that he's annoying at first but as you get to no him you develop this weird and achingly painful sentimental attachment towards him that he may or may not use against you at the most worst of times.
• will not take his medicine if you don't remind him. will forget to eat three times a day if you don't remind him. will literally forget to breathe if he's excited and you don't remind him.
•  that idea of perfectionism and "fear of failure" has kind of stuck with him therefore if anything goes on he is most likely to blame himself and when he's to train, he most likely overdo's himself but hey, as long as he's having fun it's okay right?? right?? 
•  o yeah. now lives with a family in the usa and just saying, he is most endearing to american food if nothing else.
• is that type to ask oddly stupid yet intelligent questions.
• yeah u think feeling like a third wheel is bad, but my boi here often feels like the 105th wheel.
• sort of naive and is that type to like those he most likely will never even have a chance with. he is an oddly impressive fellows who’s laidback and adorkable attire can bring many girls and guys to their knees but it isnt ever the ones... he wants. If they do happen to like him, however, if they happen to be evil they can easily fool his ass
