Backstory

Elroy was always a creative child. At first this was a point of pride for his parents, pointing to his insatiable love of reading and talent for creative arts in general as their point of pride. However, as he became older and older, he only became more engrossed with his imagination. Meanwhile, his parents started to shift focus to more useful fields, the sciences and especially being a doctor. They'd settle for lawyer too. Instead he pursued an art degree, failing to become a curator, a historian or an artist in the process. He found himself slinking into a corporate job just to make ends meet, even as his family kept telling him "I told you so."

 

Awakening Event

It wasn't too dramatic. He worked everyday, even on weekends, for his company. Coming in early, leaving late, grinding his body into dust to help reach their bottom line. He hoped that he could be useful. They just fired him. That lead him down a depressive spiral, burying himself away from reality. Eventually he started realising that the world was speaking directly to him. He followed his instincts and found himself a higher paying corporate slave job. Now he wants more, he can be important for once.

Sorry, I was busy with real life stuff, but I am still here.

I like the concept, but some tags will need some explanation.

I will point them later.
