Percy Perkins

Early Life
Percy was born to Martha and Richard Perkins on 10/31/1996. Martha and Richard's business had just found major success and the two had just become rich when Martha accidently became pregnant with Percy. Martha and Richard both saw the child as a curse and a leech as they had just found their way to fortune. Being God fearing people they had to keep the child and raise him. The refused to give Percy anything beyond the bare essentials to survive and not have social services called on him. They knew their reputation would be tied directly to their son so they set out to make him a trophy child. Early in life any bad behavior would result in severe beatings and being locked in his room with nothing but a thin sheet to lay or sit on. Percy knew no love from his parents and never met anyone from his family beyond them.

Percy developed a stutter as he had little to no social interaction for the early years as his parents were always busy and when he did see them he was always being punished. When Percy finally went to school he was different than all the other children and was outcasted from his first day. The children of the school he went to were cruel and called him horrible names and made fun of how he looked. As he got older the other children would become more violent towards him, resulting in him being found in the bathroom with his face bashed into the sink and laying in a pool of his own blood. Percy struggled with his school work dealing with the abuse at home and the consistent torture he when through the other children. His parents couldn't accept this as their child must be a trophy to show off to their rich friends and he needed to be a doctor, so they paid off the school to give him top grades. This only made things worse for Percy when the other children found out.

Percy's only escape was music, he was allowed to use the computer at home and would sit and listen to all types of music of all different ages and genres. Percy explored hundreds of thousands of hours of music and was the only thing holding him together mentally.

Percy was excited that he could finally leave his home and go to college to escape the life that he had. His parents ensured that he got into a top school and got him into Yale. Percy thought things would be different but his stutter and lack of social skills lead him to the same results in college. He majored in psychology in hopes to understand people more and to learn how to make people like him. He tried hard at school and did very well for his first 3 years. But in his 4th year he struggled as he realized nothing was going to change and feel into a deep depression. He cleared out what was left in his account for the rest of his college expenses and took a two year trip to the Tian Shan mountains in south Asia....
