WIP history shit
-1864-1899-
Kadin was found abandoned as a baby in 1860s Missouri and raised human. His adopted father, William Brimmer, was something of a snake-oil salesmen. This led them to travel extensively across the western US and Canada.
Everything seemed fine and Kadin was being prepped to follow in his father's footsteps but soon his powers started to manifest. Specifically, his fire related abilities. Open flames would grow stronger the closer he was to them. On the plus side, his campfires never went out. On the minus side, if Kadin had any sort of nightmare it would cause near-by flames to jump their confines and start a larger blaze. This didn't start causing trouble until the inn they were staying at burned down. Kadin was found completely unharmed in the rubble the next day.
These uncontrolled fire powers were what killed his adoptive father in 1884. This devastated Kadin which led him down a self-destructive path. He blamed himself so deeply he thought making himself suffer was the only logical response. In a way, he was trying to kill himself by no longer caring what happened. He found his way to some of the seediest parts of the world and did nothing that was good for him. He tried every drug and drink offered.
He spent the next twenty years bouncing from place to place in a haze. He had no direction and no care to have one. He would get in pointless fights just to get hurt.
-1900s/WWI - enlists in the army. learns about his incubus powers and healing.
This self-loathing was his reason for volunteering for military service in the first world war. The fighting led him to discover his healing powers. He did well as a soldier and became very close with his brothers-in-arms. Despite the horrors of war, he felt like he had a family and place again.
-1920s-30s - working for gangsters doesn't suck too bad...?
In this period, Kadin was mostly aware of his healing abilities. He had noticed the correlation between strong emotions and/or sex, speeding his recovery. He had no idea why, he just knew it worked. He also knew something was up with him and fire but not yet aware he could control it.
Kadin fell in with the mob after he returned from WWI. He got in via a war buddy recommending him - based on his fighting skills, willingness to follow orders and do questionable things. He was still feeling angry and lost at this point in his life so having a group to belong to soothed him.
He started as a low level enforcer. He mostly was sent out to bring someone back to the boss or act as security for rum running.
In 1933, though still working for the mob, Kadin's job changed. He caught the eye of a particularly vicious under-boss who took him on as a lover. Their relationship was nothing short of disastrous. Kadin's uncontrolled incubus powers caused the under-boss to have an unhealthy obsession over Kadin. After a few years, Kadin called it quits and left everything behind. He'd had enough of the mob life and the creepy obsession by his boss.
-WWII - yo, keeping out of this one, mate.
-1940s - attempts to settle down with a family
Her name was Lily. She was a widow with two small children. Kadin met her when she worked in a flower shop, after the death of her husband. They felt a connection and started dating. Kadin took to family life well and truly loved the kids.
-1950s - hell finds him
-1960s - working for hell sucks
-1970s - sucks so hard
-1980s - can I quit hell? That's it. I'm quitting.
-1990s - fuck, that didn't work.
-2000s - hobo sex junkie. still wants to quit
-2010s - quitting for real this time.
