Buck Gallos

Backstory

Buck wasn’t born like a normal person. He was hatched. His mother was a gryphon, his father, a human. His mother was so proud of herself to finally become a mother. She had made a nice little nest in a tree nearby her lovers home in Greece. However tragedy struck the nest Buck’s egg sat in. With one little bump while his mother was out, the egg fell from the tree and rolled down a long ways until it stopped in a bush in a nearby park.

The date was Easter and the Gallos family, a well known and rich centaur family were out, letting their daughter Hypatia participate in a local egg hunt. The father, Archippos Gallos, was the man behind the high end fashion brand “Date & Gallos”. normally he didn’t allow his family to participate, but he was feeling generous this year. Suddenly his daughter came up to him and his wife, Iphigenia, with a much larger egg than any of the plastic ones hiding about. Wasn’t hard to identify this as an actual lost egg. Taking pity on the poor egg, Iphigenia convinced her husband to let them try and hatch it. Reluctantly, he agreed.

3 months passed as Iphigenia incubated the large egg, allowing it to live, and on the 15th of July, Buck finally had hatched. Of course a half human half gryphon boy is not what they expected, but they were dedicated and now, Archippos had a male heir that could take over his company, rather than his only daughter. So, Buck was adopted into the family and given a generic name out of respect for the unknown family he belonged to. From a young age, Buck showed prowess in everything he did. Academically he did amazing, but socially, he could only play a part. He also had a bad habit of torturing any bugs he came across, between burning ants with a magnifying glass, and taking the wings off butterflies. This didn’t gain him many friends. The only one that stuck with him was a fellow elite, the son of the booming coffee franchise Starlingbuck’s owner; a one Fulvous Boobook. Buck attached himself closely to Fulvous and over time, developed the closest thing to a crush he could get. However, his personality got meaner and meaner as he got older. He was trained young to take over the franchise his father owned and forced into an elite society. But this training was not always kind to him. Neither was his father. His father made all of his life decisions and threw the boy into child modeling once he grew into his looks. But as he grew, the more rebellious he got and the more he took his life into his own hands.

Using his good looks and manipulation tactics, he managed to pursue a modeling career all on his own. Sadly, a lot of times, he had to use his body to do so. But it was bringing in the cash he needed to perhaps make more of a name for himself. He tried to get his dear friend Fulvous into it but it never stuck. Soon enough, Buck was a big name in the modeling industry. However, Fuvlous, began to pull away. Due to a large misunderstanding and miscommunication, Fulvous ended up under the impression that Buck was merely being paid to be his friend. So Fulvous cut ties with Buck. The rejection hit hard and Buck melted into a spiral. Drinking, parties, letting others toy with him, he became the topic of much gossip as he trashed himself to cope with the loss of Fulvous, a coping mechanism that was closer to self harm than anything. He even went as far to sabotage his sisters college application just because he could. But he got sloppy in his little fit of revenge and was caught. As punishment, he was to go to college as well instead of continuing his training as an heir. He would go to Briar Universtiy, the same college Fulvous would be attending. Sadly, he didn’t learn and accepted an agreement to re-befriend Fulvous for partial payment for his studies by Fulvous’ father. He was going to make Fulvous his, whether he liked it or not.
