What is their backstory?
Growing up in Detroit wasn't the easiest, but it wasn't the hardest either. Knowing who to know and who to avoid was the best bet for anyone in his neighborhood. James lived with his mother and two younger brothers in a three bedroom house. Everyday his mom struggled to make ends meet, but she always did. She was his hero. Especially when the food bill came along with three boys in the house.
James had a routine. He would eat the breakfast his mom made, go to school, go to the boxing gym, go to the park and then home. James didn't discover he was a Deviant until he was about 18. He had just graduated from high school and his mother and brothers were so proud of him. He held his head high knowing he did his absolute best and no one could tell him otherwise. He looked to his family in the crowd after getting his diploma and pointed to his brothers mouthing 'You're next.' His mom surprised him with a car and 400 bucks to go anywhere he wanted with anyone he wanted.
He chose to go it alone and just reflect on everything. Content and open minded to the doors open to him, he drove into a random direction and didn't stop. Taking time to smell the flowers after 4 hard years of stress. He found himself driving through South Carolina. Man, did he drive far. It was 2 a.m and he was hungry. He found a little diner and decided to stop. Before he could even put his foot on the brake his car was slammed into on the right side. Painstakingly removing himself from the total car he flopped to the ground breath ragged. he looked above him to see a familiar face. Someone he fought in the ring and took the title from.
Said man stomped James' head and knocked him out. He woke to find himself atop a building being held by his feet. The building was at least 10 stories. James wasn't surprised. The guy was from Detroit and had the mentality that disrespect begets death. James just laughed at how things turned out. The man let him go and James began plummeting to his death.
He braced himself for impact and felt nothing. Well, nothing would be wrong. He felt himself fall through something slowing his fall. He felt tiny hard specks on his face. They felt like...sand? He felt his body hit something solid. He landed with a 'umph!' He opened his eyes to see that he was in a crater of some sort. He looked up to see tiers of sand ranging in density. Naturally, he knew it was because of him. James knew of Deviants, but he never thought he'd meet one. Let alone be one! He tried to look to the top of the building but the sand blocked his view. It slowing shifted out of his line of sight as if it read his mind. No one was there. They must've left thinking the deed was done. Who wouldn't?
He exited the crater and the sand fell to the ground with heavy force. Bloodied and bruised he walked to the diner and sat in a booth. He ordered a burger and an ambulance. After being seen by a professional and a call to his mom, he was on his way back to Detroit to rest at home and tell his mom and brothers everything. He walked through the doors of his house and his two brothers saw his condition and spoke simultaneously, "Did you bring milk?"
