Modern/human au: Torbek

(FC: Andy Flynn)

Beck's had a rough go at things after being let go from a carnie job, and honestly things weren't going well for him before that. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed, and people like to take advantage of that. After a fateful meeting with his former employer and coworkers, he was arrested for theft, drunk and disorderly conduct, and vagrancy; at the time, he had little clue that his current employer had been the one to call the cops, while his former employer kept him in place and allowed him to be arrested. At a trial, he was sentenced harshly for his crimes and put in prison.

The first time he'd taken drugs was because of a guard. He'd actually been he'd down and injected with what he learned later was heroin, just because the guard thought it was funny to watch him trip out. The same guard did it again with two other drugs, PCP and ketamine. After being then beat up by another guard, Beck went to the local dealer in prison to beg for anything to get rid of the pain. Feeling bad for the guy, the dealer injected him with a cocktail of heroin and PCP and sent him on his way. And so, he became addicted to both heroin and angel dust, occasionally using ketamine as well.

Weirdly, he was never found out by the authorities, so he was let out on good behavior, though put on parole. Beck's habits became worse when he was without any support, getting high to nullify some of the harrowing effects of being in reality again.

It was six years after his arrest, at 33, that Beck tried to rob a hostel for the money, finding his old friends there with the proprietor. Once he came to his senses, he found himself more than apologetic for what he'd done, though in this time, they began to realize setting him up was more than wrong. They agreed to help him get clean and take care of him, help him find a new job.

Beck has been sober for a year now, and while he's still trying to find some semblance of reality again after police brutality and drug addiction, he's doing well. He's no longer alone. And that alone means the world to him
