Historical Summary:Born in Rotterdam. Only child. Mostly grew up in a small (population ~12.000) riverside city in the "Green Heart" of Holland. My left wing parents divorced at age 7, continued to live with my mother, spend most weekends with my father. My mother started renting some rooms of our big house to students. I was very intelligent, might have been highly gifted, but was rarely motivated to do something with it. Cruised my way through school without much effort, to the point of going to some of my final exams stoned and 2 hours late.
I learned to play various instruments (among them violin, piano, guitar) but lack of motivation was also a factor here. Made some electronic music and (alternative lyrics to) songs. And I like(d) singing. My first girlfriend introduced me to Metallica when I was 15, and from that point onward I gradually became a metalhead/goth hybrid, although my musical tastes have broadened considerably since then.
When I turned 18, my father informed me against my mother's will that he had 2 younger daughters with another woman. I contacted them, and although we get along well for the most part, we never got really close before they moved abroad.
In my final year in school, when I turned 18, I started smoking weed and started taking pictures, always carrying my camera with me. I also met my current partner, and we quickly became pot smoking buddies and then lovers, in a relationship that was a bit turbulent at first. When I wanted to move into her rented room, my mother prevented it by telling the owner of the house I was a junkie. I did not want to move back in with my mother as I felt betrayed by her (which is still part of why our relationship is troubled to this day), so instead me and my girl stated sharing a small apartment with someone young woman who we befriended around that time, and was a borderliner, which led to some interesting situations. We experimented a little with other drugs and substances, nothing too hard though, but in a way it's amazing that we landed on our feet as good as we did, with our lives and brains relatively intact.
After nearly a year, we found out that the woman had not payed the rent since we moved in, and were about to be evicted. Me and my loved volunteered to pay our fair share, and lend the woman the rest because she was broke. I loaned the money from my father, after my mother had refused to do so, but she allowed me and my love to move into her house, paying rent like the students. We accepted the offer, not wanting to risk a repeat.
After we graduated, I still had no idea what I wanted to do, so I worked several paid jobs, but never longer than a year, for various reasons. My love had similar success, so we were depending on social security often. At some point I had a epiphany, when I realized the nature of money and our economy, and I started to question almost everything, forming my own truths and philosophies, influenced by Buddhism, communism, and nihilism/determinism. After a few years, my mother got tired of our bad habits and bad housekeeping, even though we practically lived in our own apartment within the house, so we moved out to our own place.
Eventually I gave up unsuccessfully "whoring myself to the economy" and focused on my volunteer activities, which gave me far more satisfaction than the paid jobs. The income of my love along with some tax cuts, allowed me to do so, she had landed a steady job she liked, but wants to quit now, so I'm looking for a job.
I'm pretty creative quality wise, in various fields like writing, music and photography, but not very productive. I made a decent amount of art in the form of pictures, some of it is likely sadly lost due to my back-up drive being corrupted.
I think I might have some form of autism. This has yet to be confirmed, but one variant sounds so much like me (and maybe my father as well) that it's freaky. Whether or not it is true, is pretty much irrelevant to me, as I've always been pretty aware of my traits and mannerisms and stuff. I just didn't know most of those traits and mannerisms were lumped together and labeled as a form of autism. Maybe I'll find new ways to make some things in my life easier, but I think it is a bit too late for me to really benefit much from this new insight. It would have been great to know like 30 years ago, but now...meh.
Two and a half years ago, a woman seduced me. Some loving, adventures and travels later, we're now best friends. I'm still in love with her, though (I'm poly-amorous).
Character creation:I tend to put at least one aspect of myself in my characters, sometimes magnified (and sometimes to the extreme), whether it is personality, interests, or philosophy. Then I throw in some stuff or philosophy that I think contrasts/harmonizes nicely with that, or that twists that "me" trait into something new. And I try to make the char suit the setting/story and the other characters.
For example, I once paired my benevolent self-righteous side with religious fanaticism, as a vampire killing sinners, a dark angel of God's wrath, a Gladius Dei.
Ché started out as an experiment to test the feasibility of creating a communist economy within a capitalist world. He is what I imagine myself to be if I had grown up in New Eden. After his creation though, we have increasingly less in common. Ché got more psychologically unbalanced, for example.
