Background
Genesis moved to Earth in the early 1960's, curious about life outside of Hell, seeking different experiences. Between the 60's to the 80's, he worked various jobs in the American south (including a tobacco farm), hung out with the runaway demon prince -- Asmos -- and eventually fell in love with a figure skater named Han. The 80's were, to put it kindly, a tumultuous time for two men in love and within a couple years, Han's health began degenerating due to AIDS. After his passing, Genesis struggled with survivor's guilt and was relatively lost and adrift.
Trying to get back into the "dating scene" in a sense, he intervened in an attack on a gay bar, receiving his back scar in the process, as well as his body shapeshifting for the first time ever to protect itself. His assailants spooked and taking off into the night, Genesis fled to the forest to recover. Worse for wear when he's recovered, Asmos took him in and they became roommates, as Asmos was his closest friend and determined to help him get back on his feet.
Asmos attempted to set him up on dates, but Gen's heart was effectively closed off, unable to heal and commit to people who couldn't understand his needs.
At some point, later on, Asmos left for South Korea and Genesis was back on his own. He began work as a sort of informant for both Heaven and Hell during his time as a manager at a DMV, often tasked with looking deeper into peoples' records to help decide their fates. After helping with a judgment and seeing the resulting tragedy in the person's children, Genesis had a change of heart and career and began working as a teacher in an elementary school. (Literally what can't he do. I love him.)
He moved to the small town where Asmos had move to when he came back to the US and not long after...
He met Emmy.
