Jiro Lawson

In Character

Post-Reset

Born of slightly mentally unstable parents, Jiro often bore the brunt of his father's angers and depressions. Often beaten as a young child, he barely remembers the experiences. At eleven, his brother, Taro took him from home and they ran away from their broken home and Taro took up with a man named Gregory Andler who began to teach them about pickpocketing. Jiro, who his brother often referred to as a human sponge, took up the information with extreme fervor, and could put it into action not long after hearing it. Jiro had always been a fast learner.

When Jiro was fourteen, he was caught during a job by a wealthy businessman who called for his imprisonment. Taro could do nothing about it, and Gregory was never seen by them again. Jiro was hauled off to juvenile detention, which was only a wing over from the murderers and other such lowlives, the Deep End, as it was referred to in the prison.

Juvie, the Kiddy Pool, proved to be harsher than Jiro had originally considered. However, a month after arriving, Jiro was coupled with a cellmate, Ren Wilcox, who was being thrown in juvie for an assault charge that didn't hold much water. Soon after, Jiro and Ren began a whirlwind love affair that extended farther out than their cell sentances.

Two years later, soon after Jiro's sixteenth his brother bailed him and his cellmate out with money he had recieved from a job Taro would not specify. Jiro and Ren rented an apartment and lived together for several months,
