CW Aware Background (Sanitized)

Basil was born and raised in the Alaskan UCAS where he had a loving childhood and a budding career. Though, getting caught up in a convention where they Yakuza set up a honey pot scheme, he was kidnapped and made into a Bunraku. He awakened and escaped, and now runs under the alias of Corpse.

Background

Growing Up

Basil grew up in Alaska, back before life got cold. His world wasn’t harsh or cruel like people like to say. He had parents. Decent ones. Xander and Rose weren’t complicated people, and Basil never needed them to be. They were present. Meals came hot and regular. Nights came quiet. He remembered that part most.

He liked small things. Puppets, mostly. Carved wood. Old plastic marionettes from secondhand shops that smelled like dust and mildew. The stillness of them appealed to him. Faces frozen in quiet, perfect expressions. He could spend hours working the strings, pulling joints into careful motion, making them dance until his hands ached.

There weren’t many places in his town for a boy like Basil to belong, but the small queer community folded him in without question. He didn’t need to explain himself there. He didn’t have to. He could exist, soft voiced, small, different. People understood without needing to say anything.

When Horizon showed up, Basil thought his life would stay simple. He thought he could keep it that way.

Young Adult

Corporate promises don’t need to be cruel to kill something. Horizon taught him that. It wasn’t malice that sharpened Basil into a tool. Just process. Just efficiency.

He took the implants. Learned how to work systems. Slipped into the machine, not because he believed in it, but because it was easier than fighting against it. Basil wasn’t built for spotlights anyway. He worked backend. Did what was needed.

He met a girl there. Emma. She laughed softly and listened harder. He never said what he felt, but he didn’t need to. She understood that much, at least.

She asked him to come to a cosplay convention with her once. Northern UCAS. Some throwaway event where people wore bright wigs and fake smiles. He agreed.

They were taken from the parking lot before they even made it through the doors.
