NOWELL, CECIL A.

⋆ he was born and raised in america, to a couple that were once rich - making them spoil cecil rotten. he was taught that it was power that made a person and that stuck in him even until he was older. he rarely played with other children, choosing to stay in the confines of their magnificent home. his parents never really cared - they weren't exactly always around. and so cecil grew up like that, away from the world, surrounded by high walls without a care for other people. he grew up playing with his own toys and playing on his own. he grew up thinking it was fine to be that way.

⋆ there was only ever one person he actually liked being around with and that was his home tutor, the daughter of a family friend. she was older than him, but she always made it comfortable, always made it so nice to be around with. an art student, she was, and that was how cecil got into the arts, getting better and better until eventually, he was no longer doing it for her, but because he was enjoying it.

⋆ of course not everything lasted forever and through some bad decisions, the family company spiraled into bankruptcy when he turned thirteen. for a year, the family tried to keep it together, to salvage what they could, but in the end, the fights escalated, fights happened, there was a divorce, and cecil's father took whatever money they had remaining to nova athenis - a place for a new start.

⋆ nova athenis was strange to him - especially when he had to go to school. being surrounded by people was something he wasn't used to and it was so so difficult for him to ease into this new life. with actual people, he hated them. he hated how they came close to him and invaded his personal space, how they tried to get close to him just because he was 'the new kid' but he had to adapt. that's what his dad said - to adapt. no matter how much he hated them he had to adapt, and that's what he did.

⋆ he made friends, but he still kept them arms length away from him. he smiled more, people would sometimes call it a fake, but he didn't care much for them. what was really amazing to him were romantic relationships - he had no idea how fragile people could be. had no idea they could hurt that way, and it was just ... fascinating to him. he didn't know he could control people through what they called 'love'.

⋆ that's how he spent most of his life, reveling in the high he got in relationships, reveling in the control. he went through highschool that way, and went through university the same. he was still distant with his dad, both of them never quite attempted to get closer and it was fine that way for both of them. even after cecil graduated and got a job, and eventually, his father died from fatigue, he didn't feel much save for some sadness. he didn't mourn for long. they were never actually very close, anyway.

⋆ when he was twenty-five, cecil took up a job in the local high school after he heard of a job opening from a friend inside the school. there really wasn't anything special to his decision - he just figured it'll be fun to be in a school.
