Past

The story of  Diadumenianus begins some years before his birth. When his father, Leslie born in Europe, had taken up a particular job, all the way in Greece. Where he would meet Theokleia a woman around his age who had worked with a museum in the area. Leslie had fallen head over heels for this woman. Soon the pair would be married and having their first child,  Diadumenianus. It was around this time that the Kester family also had fallen on hard times with Leslie losing his job in Greece. With this the expecting parents moved to Sweden where they had struggled to maintain work.

Growing up impoverished and sickly, being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at around eight years old or so, Diadumenianus’ illness had caused his parents even more money troubles for their sons medical bills. Diadumenianus did manage to have a normal childhood despite these less than ideal beginning. He took an interest in animals and other such creatures early on, and would spend much of his childhood begging for a family pet, only to be denied do to the low income.

Despite these downsides the family was very loving toward one another.  Diadumenianus got along well with his younger brother Brutus, as well as their parents. The brothers grew up to become rather close to one another. Having one another’s back. Diadumenianus diminutive stature and gentler personality at times would often make those they would meet confuse his brother, only two years younger than him, for being the older child. When the two were teenagers their parents had finally hit some good luck and moved the family from Sweden to America.

After spending a couple of years in an American high school, Diadumenianus soon graduated and set out to study zoology as well as business, as he had aspired to own a zoo one day. The problem is, finding a zoo he could buy or building one on his own. He’d spend the next few years of his life figuring that out. But after finishing school he had come to one realization on this fence. Diadumenianus would spend the next several years with his high school girlfriend, and eventual wife and children owning Zoo Miami, and nothing bad ever happened to him.

Criminal History:

Petty little thefts as a teenager, but other than that Diadumenianus really isn’t much of a criminal. He is only likely these days to get a speeding or parking ticket. But back when he was a teenager, he would steal all manner of little trinkets and such that teenagers are prone to be doing in order to impress their friends. Driving underage, a few times after some peer pressure. Some pranks that weren’t as harmless as his friends might have claimed them to be. However Diadumenianus being mostly just a participant had meant he was never convicted of any crime.

Candy!

halloween-ish starter prompts

send me CANDY! for a starter where my character has a stomach ache from eating too much candy.

Was Edward Hyde somewhat terrifying? Yes, to many. You would assume so. But there had been more to Edward than just this one-sided glance into his psychology. Edward had many, many other things going on for him. Like that he was the alternate personality to another man, Henry Jekyll. Well, at least some would say as much of him. Maybe. Though, while Henry had often been stuck up, way into his own head. Not able to see the true beauty of those who walked into his life, let alone all the beauty around it. Edward had seen it, all of it, and he enjoyed toying with it.

Today, however, was perhaps one of his off days. Because at that moment, he was curled up into a ball on the floor, the thirty something year old had looked to anyone who may have only just been approaching, as if he had just been punched in the gut and left to wallow on the floor. The truth however was quite clear upon more inspection of the space around him. Plenty of rappers had been carelessly tossed around where he had been sitting, enough to make plenty of children wretch and vomit. Which thankfully at that moment Edward had not vomited, but his stomach had twist in such away he had felt like he just might at any moment.
