Mental characteristics

Personal history

Theo was born into a family that really did not want him. His parents believed that there were enough overpopulation problems and children without homes that it simply wasn't logical for them to have their own biological children, so they didn't attempt to have any. They wound up having Theo anyway and resented him for that his entire life. He was basically left without a lot of emotional support growing up and was constantly in the shadow of his sisters, who were always much better at things and impressing his parents than he was. It also didn't help that his older sister was the only one they actually accepted when she came out as trans.    Theo made do though, and coped mostly by learning to play the violin and later the guitar. The violin was originally picked up to impress his parents and earn love, but he quickly discovered he actually loved playing it and music in general so he continued. His severe social anxiety and lack of support in that kept him from joining any school groups, however, and he was bullied rather severely.    When Theo was nine, he met a boy named Alexei Kasinsky and the two became "friends". I say friends in that manner because Alexei way a psychopath who tortured Theo for years and used his memory altering abilities to keep it hidden from Theo. Theo was eventually murdered by Alexei when both boys were 17 and Theo became a ghost with no memory of how he'd died.    He lived for several years in the Ghost House, completing his education and befriending the entity called Silence. According to the newspaper he read shortly after his death, he'd been murdered by a Meta-Human gang and became quite famous. He made no attempt to discover the true identity of his murderer, however, until Emica  Rollinsd discovered his true identity.
