Casey Cameron

Casey Cameron (a.k.a. Memoc)

The Human embodiment of the resurrected and malevolent Memoc, an ancient and formidable demon.   Condemned by humanities judgment to endure the cycle of life and death, Memoc suffered the curse of existing as a human burdened with a soul.   Throughout Casey's formative years, a tumultuous struggle with identity tormented him, as he grappled with an overwhelming conviction of being possessed. Unaware of his true origins, this torment persisted until a significant revelation unfolded later in his life.   The nature of Casey's being was further compounded by his ever-shifting roles, alternating between being the most dire threat to our world or it's resolute savior.   However, fate ultimately steered him toward the path of heroism, where he eventually found solace and purpose.   Driven by a fierce parental instinct, Casey took drastic measures to protect his children, Jacob and Michaela, erasing their memories and entrusting their safety to the watchful eyes of Irene. Through this act, he shielded them from impending harm, ensuring their well-being amidst the chaos that always had surrounded him.   Since then, Casey has vanished, leaving little to no trace of his whereabouts behind.  

Early Life

Casey's early life was marked by a tragic event that would profoundly shape his journey. Witnessing the horrifying murder of his mother by his father, followed by his father's subsequent suicide, Casey and his brother Abel were entrusted to the care of the state-run Croft & Cone Orphanage. It was during his time at the orphanage that Casey's life took a haunting turn.   Shortly after his arrival, Casey started experiencing a disturbing phenomenon—an inner voice claiming to be a demon named Memoc, later revealed to be The Shadow Entity, a malevolent force. This demonic presence mercilessly tormented Casey, blaming him for his mother's untimely demise and exploiting his vulnerabilities, incessantly shaming him for his perceived weakness. The voice insidiously fueled Casey's anger and manipulated him towards violence.   As a result of Memoc's constant torment, Casey became an outcast among his peers, save for his unwavering bond with his brother Abel. Abel remained a loyal companion, always providing support and helping Casey resist the influence of the Voice, guiding him towards making the right choices.   During their formative years at the orphanage, Casey and Abel's bond grew stronger, united in their shared struggles. However, their unbreakable connection faced an abrupt test when a prosperous family chose to adopt Abel, leaving Casey alone. The brothers' separation would endure for many years before they would reunite again.   Without his brother's calming presence, Casey's life took a downward spiral. Increasingly agitated, isolated, and prone to violent outbursts, Casey faced a pivotal moment during his high school years. Seeking to connect with a girl named Brittany, he found himself ambushed by a group of bullies led by Brittany's boyfriend, Reginald Teth. Despite Casey's attempts to avoid confrontation, Reginald persisted in his relentless torment, determined to humiliate Casey. The Voice within Casey goaded him to retaliate, urging him to unleash merciless aggression.   Overwhelmed by anger, Casey succumbed to a blackout as he launched himself at Reginald. Upon regaining consciousness, he found himself in handcuffs, confined to the back of a police car. The harsh reality dawned on him—his attack had left Reginald severely injured, nearly claiming his life.  
 

Prison Life

Following his conviction for attempted manslaughter, Casey's life took a drastic turn as he was sentenced to a four-year term in prison. Adaptation to the harsh and violent prison environment became a necessity for Casey. He found himself entangled in frequent brawls with fellow inmates, often losing control and succumbing to blackouts. These violent episodes resulted in severe injuries to his adversaries, leading to extended periods of solitary confinement as a consequence of his actions.   In the solitude of his cell, particularly during the long and desolate nights, Casey's encounters with the demonic presence intensified. The voice of the demon whispered to him, growing louder and more persistent. Casey became acutely aware of its sinister influence, amplifying his inner turmoil and feeding his darker impulses. The haunting whispers intertwined with the isolation of his confinement, further exacerbating his psychological and emotional struggles.  
== Martial Arts Mentorship and the Enigmatic Scott ==   Within the confines of the prison's bustling recreation yard, Casey's attention was immediately drawn to the enigmatic figure known as Scott, a new transfer prisoner. As if shrouded in an aura of mystery, Scott possessed a calm and effortless demeanor, effortlessly defending himself from a group of assailants without a scratch or a loss of control. This display of skill ignited a spark within Casey, compelling him to seek out Scott as a mentor and guide.   Recognizing the potential for personal growth and a means to gain control over his own raging emotions, Casey approached Scott with an earnest desire to learn. In the realm of martial arts, Scott was an unyielding source of wisdom, offering his expertise to Casey in the hopes of enabling him to channel his anger and find solace in disciplined combat techniques.   Under Scott's tutelage, Casey embarked on a transformative journey, delving deep into the world of martial arts. The enigmatic Scott shared his knowledge, teaching Casey not only the physical aspects of combat but also the essential principles of discipline, focus, and self-control. Through countless hours of training, Casey absorbed the techniques and philosophies, using them as a means to transcend his inner turmoil and find balance amidst the chaos of prison life.   While Scott remained a mystery to many, his presence in Casey's life grew more profound. As the two delved further into martial arts, a bond formed, built on mutual respect and a shared dedication to personal growth. Casey found solace in the guidance provided by Scott, who became not only a mentor but also a confidant and a source of inspiration.   Beyond the intricacies of physical combat, Scott's teachings became a catalyst for self-discovery and inner transformation. Through the martial arts, Casey learned to navigate his own emotions, developing the strength to resist the insidious whispers of the demon within. The once-turbulent brawls that plagued Casey's existence gradually diminished, replaced by a sense of control, discipline, and strategic thinking.   Scott's enigmatic nature only added to the allure of their martial arts journey. His past remained shrouded in secrecy, leaving room for speculation and intrigue. Yet, the impact he had on Casey's life was undeniable, as the young man discovered not only the power of martial arts but also the profound influence of a guiding presence amidst the harsh realities of prison.   As Casey and Scott continued to train and grow together, their martial arts journey intertwined with a broader narrative of personal transformation and redemption. The enigma of Scott's origins remained, but the lessons imparted and the bond forged transcended the realm of mystery, solidifying their shared path toward self-improvement within the confines of the prison walls.
