Zeke and his brother grew up in a very low income home in Miami, Florida. Their mother would often drink until she became too drunk to realize her senses, and beat him.
It wasn't that his brother never got abused.. But Zeke felt that he had been the one to receive the most of it.
The only time Zeke truly felt love as a child was from his elder brother, who at the time, had done his best to support him.
The lack of love and support in his life led him to go out and have sex at an early age. When this happened, his brother seemed to drift away from him.
When Zeke was fifteen, he had begun pimping himself out for both the money and affection from the men who wanted to take advantage of his body, along with his young mind. This seemed to be the last straw between him and his brother, as the two had started a huge argument over what Zeke had been doing, causing him to simply walk away, never to return back to his brother or mother again.
This severely increased his use of sex to make him feel valid and loved by another human being. After his sixteenth birthday, he finally got into a real relationship. The relationship had been with a rather cliche bad boy that he'd met in the city, named Nixon. Nixon would often abuse Zeke both physically and verbally. It always confused the poor boy, as while Nixon had been beating him, he'd continuously say how much he loved him, and that it was for his own good.
This unhealthy relationship lasted for a full two years, and one day, after Nixon had nearly killed him, he left. He'd gone out in a rage, and decided the best way to get back at Nixon was to just run out and have some sex for a bit of money... But in the end, he simply never went back to the terrible man.
Now, he was eighteen, and felt that he should search for real love.. And a job. Job hunting proved to be hard, since he dropped out of college after the fight he and his brother had. As he searched for love, he would end up getting asshole to asshole.
When he turned twenty-two, he finally tried to get back into contact with his brother, to talk about what had happened between the two all those years ago. All he wanted to do was regain the love from his brother. If he managed that, then maybe everything would be alright.
It was extremely dangerous for him to try and contact his brother while pimping himself out to anyone that would pay. He was terrified that someone might try and get his brother dragged into it, and destroy his chances of regaining a bond.
He tried countless times to contact his brother before he finally got a reply. This was definitely cause for a huge celebration to the young man, so he used whatever money he had to buy some things for his brother, along with some food. During that day, he was going to see a customer in a nearby hotel. Not to Zeke's knowledge, his last day alive would be spent doing his best to collect stuff to make his brother happy.
The customer had been obsessed with the young man. To the customer, if he couldn't have Zeke, nobody could, and after he'd found out about his brother, he snapped. When Zeke had met up with the customer, and began the process of his terrible job, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach. After a few moments of terrible agony, there was nothing. All he could see was darkness.
As he sat there, confused on what was happening, there was a loud voice that surrounded him in the dark. The voice had claimed to be the Lord of Zhemia. The Lord informed him that for the sins he's done, he was the rightful embodiment of the deadly sin of Lust. |
