Eternal Curse: Battleground chapter 1.4(wip)

“I saw him go out into the garden. He’s been going out there a lot lately.” With the boys rolling their eyes at me, I continued to explain. “I followed him to see if he wanted to talk and then he just took off. He didn’t even take off his shirt and foot supports. I picked up the remnants of his shredded garment and supports and brought them inside. I recycled them last night before you had a chance to see them. I didn’t want you to worry.”

Sheldon snapped. “Stop trying to protect me Tori; you should have told me last night! At least then I would have been able to track him!”

Character Files from the ToiBox 22: Sheldon- Bio

ECB-S

nomaleBiography:  Subject EC:B 2-Sheldon

Sheldon is the product of ignorance and deceit. His birth was planned by both his father and his mother, but since they never actually met, it makes sense that their plans for the child clashed tremendously leaving everyone involved dissatisfied.

When Sheldon was born his mother thought he was dead or disfigured and so took her own life. He was left to be raised by strangers, but strangers who decided he deserved a better fate than what was planned for him.

Sheldon became a warrior for the righteous at a very young age and, ironically (explained in the book), never knew what it was to have a childhood until he met his new family. When Sheldon first met his adoptive family it was all business; he was to protect Mira on a mission. Years later Sheldon would find himself welcomed into a strange home that existed in both the world of reality and the illusion of a human only existence.

In Sheldon’s new home, for the first time, he would have a father, a mother, a sister, and become acquainted with humans who didn’t fear him.

Character Files from the ToiBox 21: Tori- Bio

ECB-T

nofemaleBiography:  Subject EC:B 1-Tori

Tori is the product of an unplanned pregnancy. This is known only because she is discovered abandoned. We know nothing about her biological parents or background. Giovanni finds her and brings her to Mira and they decide to keep her.

Tori is average in the best possible way. Unlike other members of her adoptive family, she gets to have quit a few normal experiences and blends in with “regular” people just fine. From an early age she looks to her father and brother as her protectors and puts her mother on a pedestal of realistic perfection.

Tori doesn’t attend public school, but she receives an education and has opportunities to socialize with her human peers. When she grows up, Tori attends college and remains, for the most part, shielded from the dangers the rest of her family faces daily.

After graduating from college, Tori is burdened with the decision of what to do next. She’s at a point in her life when she can continue to tip-toe between the two worlds she was raised in or finally make a choice, choosing one over the other.
