He grew up in New York, in an orphanage and never had the funds to leave, so he felt kinda stuck there. H goes to University in New York that he is able to afford because of scholarships, and lives in a dingy small studio apartment with 4 other roommates because he cannot afford to live anywhere else. He likes New york though, there is always something going on, some mischief to get into and something flashy going on. Dylan feels like if he was in a smaller town then he may be reminded more often of the realities he lives in, few friends no family and a lot of loneliness. He is going to school to be a detective, because he has a strong sense of justice stemming from his rough childhood.
I mostly get money through my scholarships, although right now I do work at a convenient store, that I hate. My boss Mr. Fezi, doesn't pay me on time or always the full amount I am owed, saying that I don't do a good enough job, even though I know that is not true. The convenient store is in a rough part of New York, so the customers do not treat me well, but it is still a job, and they are hard to come by. I spend money on the necisties of life like food and water, but sometimes buy stuff to tinker around with.
I feel like the world is ultimately unjust too many people are left in unequal places while the powerful prosper. They need to be brought down a peg, anyone who does harm and benefits from exploitation needs to be punished. That includes the harbringers and the contractors who often harm others in order to get more power. I would kill for it, anyone I have to, and I would die for it a thousand times for it, my life is pretty useless anyways I might as well pay for something good for it. I plan on rising through the ranks, becoming powerful and then turning that power on to the harbringers and other contractors, then I'll make a fairer world for everyone.
