History: AGES ONE TO THREE:
Born in Des Moines, Iowa, Bade was raised by an alcoholic father and a mother who did the best she could to deal with both of them. His first three years were rather uninventful, other then the time he was caught in the middle of a battle between his mother and father and got a second degree burn going up his left leg from scolding water.. He's had a scar from it ever since.
AGES FOUR TO TEN:
This was around the time Bade started resenting life in Des Moines. It wasn't Des Moines he hated so much, just the house he lived in. His father drank from sun-up to sun-down, and his poor mother was worked to the bone to put food on the table, keep the house clean, and try to care for her young son. At the age of nine was when Rashed was sent to rehab when the neighbors finally heard the despair-filled crys of Teesha. But despite hot badly she was treated, Teesha mourned over the loss of her husband, and took her anger out on Bade. At the age of ten, he recieved his owl, and was sent to London to live with his grandmother.
AGES ELEVEN TO THIRTEEN:
This is where Bade's life starts taking a turn for the worse. Eleven was a young age for any kid to start smoking, but with a grandmother who did nothing but smoke, drink Gin, and talk to her seventeen cats. Just his luck, he was sent to live with a cat lady. The poor woman was too messed up in the head to realize how old her grandson was, and offered him a cigarette. One thing led to another, and by thirteen, he was drinking and smoking pot.
Eleven was also around the time he met his best friends, Wednesday, Jake, Bones, and Ghoul. This was one of the reasons Bade got into smoking Marijuana.
School was a big problem for him. He had always had problems dealing with authority figures, and having teachers constantly telling him what to do had to be his version of Hell. He did everything in his power to rebel against them, including the normal skipping of classes and homework, but also including the not-so-normal getting high in the broom closet.
Bade never really exelled at his school work. Nevermind, scratch that. He sucked at it. Even if you took away the fact that authority figures infuriated him, he just wasn't bright in the academic area.
AGES FOURTEEN TO SEVENTEEN:
During the summers was the only time he saw his 'brothers', because, obviously, they were muggles. He made the best of this time by using the summer as a time to do what most college students would do. Well, demented college students is a better term. Parties and drugs (as small as pot and alcohol to as big as herion and cocaine). His drug use turned into habit, which then turned into addiction.
School didn't change much for him. He was still pretty much what any teacher would call a 'lost cause'.
One thing did happen, however, at the age of seventeen that would forever be a part of him. He could've never known his father was a Death Eater. He was too young to know what it was at the time when he was around. But now, at the age of seventeen, they started coming from him, trying to recruit him. His father must've mentioned that he would be a hard one to convince, so he was taken by force. He's from then on worn the Dark Mark on his left arm, forever hidden under Misfit.
CURRENT:
Bade has, since last updated, dropped everything that had, in the past, defined him. He no longer uses drugs and alcohol as means to escape from his harsh reality, and he’s found that he’s, in a way, much happier this way. While he’d be glad for an alcohol buzz every now and then, the paranoia that accompanied the high of cocaine didn’t do him much good.
He and Jade, the love of his life, had a row that ended their long-term relationship, and he since hasn’t seen her, though he thinks about her whenever he finds a spare moment. His ‘family’, or his band, he has also lost contact with. He had had to flee the apartment they had shared in Oshawa in order to avoid being arrested again, but he has plans to return to them in the near future.
Personality: [Good::]
When first meeting Bade, you probably won't notice these things, because he's all about pride, and pride forbids him to show his true colors. But, once you've gotten to know him, and have gotten onto his good side, he could quite possibly be the best friend you've ever had. Despite what he says, he can be a very warm-hearted and caring person ... you just have to catch him on a good day. He's trustworthy, and extremely loyal to the friends he has. You can hold his attention as long as you catch him in one of those rare, but still quite possible, sober moments.
[Bad::]
His outer shell is cold-hearted, snarky, and unfeeling. But that's just his outer shell. No matter how hard he tries, he can never be his true self around someone he's just meeting. He's resentful, envious, rebellious, and sometimes just a little hard to get along with if you don't agree with his opinions. There's also that tiny bit of aggresiveness that suggests you should keep to his good side.
