Bryndon Jacobson

Backstory: Have you ever been betrayed? Have you ever felt the pain as the blade enters your back? It's an odd question, but It is an important one. It can determine your entire life. If you have, then you must have also felt the fire. The fire and rage inside and the urge to fight back and take everything they have away and leave them as a smoldering wreck. Society frowns on this and you want to be a good person, and fight it, holding it back and smothering it with a pillow. But there are a few. A few people who cave in to these urges. Some get away with this, but most do not and are punished by their fellow-man. Karma is a funny thing. It is very precise however. Those who are imprisoned or executed have been struck already and are left alone, other than the odd straggler here and there. Those who get away however, they may be free for time, but getting away with things doesn't make you safe. You simply are given borrowed time. And when it runs out, Karma comes to collect its debt.

Bryndon Jacobson was born on the 14th of January. An insignificant day on a thus far insignificant year. But he would be a very significant person and the ripples of what he would do in his life would have a large impact on the district. His Mother and Father were very wealthy, seeing as how the father owned many of the coal mines that bring wealth in to the capital. Thus Bryndon had a very luxurious life. As a baby, rumor had it his mobile was made of diamond with sparkles of gold embedded within. These were just rumors of course. He had a very standard mobile and crib, but the house and room he lived in were not. He lived in the 2nd tallest house in the district and his room had more room that anyone in the poor section of the district could only see and dream of for their own homes. Bryndon enjoyed the finer things in life, eating off of silver platter using the finest cutlery, once able to that is.

But however much money he and his family had, he nor his parents could buy away loneliness. Once Bryndon could walk and talk, he grew tired of just seeing colorful playthings and his nanny everyday. His parents could see this and knew it was far too dangerous to leave his child in a daycare, for fear of kidnapping. However they could not just turn a blind eye to his need for another his age. At the age of 4 Bryndon's parents made a deal with family friends who happened to own the largest housing in town. They had a small girl, 5 years of age. She too had wanted to make a friend. The families decided to introduce the children to each other in hopes they would become friends. Bryndon was brought over soon after the deal was made and the children met. Her name was Elizabeth. Elizabeth Hope. The two met and within the minute they were happily discussing Elizabeth's toys and how many Bryndon didn't have, as it was easier to count.

As the children grew in age, so did their bond. Not only this but they ended up making a pact. That one would never leave the other, no matter where life took them or what walls came down between them. They were soon enrolled into school. At ages 6 and 7, they walked into the their class together. Elizabeth, being raised in the way she was, was used to getting whatever she wanted whenever she asked. As a result she was extremely confused when the child next to her would not giver her the red crayon she asked for. In a spurt of frustration at his non-compliance she shoved him to the ground. The child began to cry and quickly hushed. Elizabeth was told her actions were inappropriate and could not happen again. Elizabeth did not agree. This person cannot tell me what to do. That was reserved for her parents. Bryndon saw the error in her ways, as he was taught that money did not matter, but people did. He was told that touching someone in a way that could hurt them was bad, and so were bad words that could hurt feelings. The kid seemed ok and so he pushed away his feelings of distaste and asked Elizabeth for the black crayon.

Years passed by and soon the 6th schooling year came up. Elizabeth who now went by Lillie, did not change at all. She now knew money could be used to her advantage, and was wise with it. She still constantly threw fits when she did not get her way. Many kids were subject to her bullying. One of them was brave or foolish enough to stand up to her and called her "A leech who hurts everything she touches" and many other things of the sort, many containing profanity. She kept her cool, even though she was probably burning inside, and went back to work. Less than a day passed and the boy who was knows as Kyle was sent to prison for a break in that occurred 3 nights prior. People knew to avoid her when she walked down hallways or saw her in class. But they also knew to avoid Bryndon.
