Chris Sharai was born into a wealthy but largely uncaring family. His childhood was filled mostly with fancy things bought for him in lieu of giving him actual attention. His favorite of these was the DnD core rulebook he got for his 5th birthday.
That rulebook changed his life forever for the better. It gave him something to focus on, something to fill his abundant free time.
In middle school, Chris started what would become his longest running campaign yet, and met Jennifer Brown, who would one day save his life. She was just another one of the faces in the classroom until she answered his call for players.
After that, they were fast friends, though he had no notion of it becoming much more anytime soon.
That year was also the year he met Lizzie. This strange child in the woods would also change his life. If she had it her way, in a distinctly different direction. They had a friendship as well, Chris more charmed than repelled by her terrifying nature and cannibalistic habits. That was mostly, though, because it didn't truly land that it was real.
Didn't land, at least, until she offered to turn him into a monster like her. Initially enthusiastic about the offer, once Chris truly realized what it entailed, he wanted out. But Lizzie wouldn't let him. And so Jennifer had to save him.
After this, Jennifer expressed her true feelings, and their friendship became a relationship of a more romantic variety.
