Wilson Black

From the very start of his life, Wilson believed he was unwanted by those who were supposed to love him. His adoptive parents found him as a newborn among a heap of trash in an alleyway in Beggar's Avenue. Wanting a child of their own, they took him in as their son. Wilson's adoptive parents were a badger woman and otter man. All his life he knew they were not his biological parents, but they were kind to him so he did not mind. 

​

His mother helped him grow fond of gymnastics as a child and his father taught him the capoeira fighting style. These two passions helped Wilson grow into an agile, fit person. Sadly, being a male practicing gymnastics attracted the attention of multiple bullies and bigots. Elementary school was incredibly difficult for him because of constant teasing from students. 

​

Unfortunately, things got worse for Wilson when his mother died from complications with her diabetes. His father was left broken and inconsolable after the loss. Wilson tried to comfort him and slowly, they both began to recover from the loss. However, everything was ruined when his father was killed in a traffic accident involving a drunk driver. This left Wilson parentless at age 13. 

​

Child services decided to allow Wilson's mother's parents to take him in as they were the only relatives he had left. To his horror, life with his grandparents proved to be a living hell. The elderly couple were horrendously abusive towards the young skunk boy. They yelled at him, constantly punished him for absurd reasons, denied him comfortable living conditions, and even physically abused him with various items. Wilson was battered and bruised with rolling pans, canes, belts, and metal cooking utensils. He was forced to sleep in a sleeping bag in the basement and only given small meals to eat. 

​

When signs of abuse became apparent at his school, Wilson's grandparents pulled him out. Shortly after, something horrible happened that changed Wilson's life forever. One morning, during breakfast, Wilson's grandmother was cooking eggs in a frying pan. While he was pouring a glass of milk, he accidentally spilled it on a kitchen rug. This made his grandmother go completely mad with rage. Blinded by anger, she slammed the red hot pan right into Wilson's face. His eye and the right side of his face burned and scarred from the hot metal. He screamed and fled down to the basement. 

​

Alone and in unbearable pain, Wilson cried in distress, worsening the pain in his right eye. Suddenly, a new feeling erupted in his heart and mind. A sense of hatred for those who wronged him his whole life. This moment of hatred caused his injured right eye to turn bright red and pulse with a dark power. 

​

By the time his anxiety attack ended, it was nearly night. Upon seeing his grandfather, he was horrified to see a dark, evil aura surrounding the old badger man. An aura that let out a series of disturbing, animalistic growls and demonic moans. He discovered his grandmother had the same aura. Though this was knew to him, he could feel what this was. A sign of his grandparents' evil souls. 

​

Knowing it was only a matter of time until he was seriously hurt by them again, Wilson chose to leave his home with only the clothes on his back. For the next three years, he lived on the streets of Lotebirma. 

​

Wilson had no hope of finding work or having a home of his own. He was too young, inexperienced, and traumatized. Many who saw him sitting by the sidewalk thought he was mentally ill. For years he was forced to steal to survive. Luckily, the police of Lotebirma intentionally avoided him so he would not be arrested. Throughout his time on the street, he proved to be a fearless fighter and thief, taking on members of the notorious local gangs and stealing money from them after vicious brawls. He developed quite a reputation.

​

One day, on a rainy afternoon, a beautiful white tiger girl wearing a rich school uniform stared at him from the other side of the road. Wilson disliked her immediately, thinking she was disgusted by him. The next day, she returned. This time, she offered him a ham and cheese sandwich she had made. Despite her apparent genuine kindness, Wilson responded by knocking the snack out of her hand, accusing her of attempting to poison him. The girl expressed her sympathy for him, saying she knew he must have been horribly abused to be so untrusting. She walked away again, and Wilson told her to never come back. 

​

A week went by, and the same tiger girl approached him again. This time with a letter. Wilson attempted to strike her, but she left him the letter and fled. Wilson felt tempted to tear up the note, but decided he was curious enough to see it. The note simply said, "My name is Leoma. I would love to know your name. I hope this gift will help you trust me." Wilson then realized there was something taped to the back of the letter. He was shocked to discover the tiger girl named Leoma attached $100 to the letter. He was shocked, wondering if the cash was fake. Realizing it wouldn't hurt to test it, he decided to go to a local café for a meal. Sadly, being homeless, he was kicked out immediately. 

​

Distraught by his mistreatment, he suffered another anxiety attack and began breathing heavily by the café. Someone suddenly approached him. It was Leoma. She asked if the café kicked him out, and Wilson simply nodded. The tiger girl expressed anger, and offered to enter with him to make sure he got served. Thinking he had nothing to lose at this point, he accepted her offer. 

​

​As the two of them sat together, they talked casually. As they did, they quickly felt a connection. They both ended up sharing their life stories, feeling sympathy for each other. As Wilson enjoyed the first good meal he had in a long time, he asked Leoma why she was helping him so much. To his surprise, she told him it was because she thought he was attractive and wanted to get to know him better. This was nothing like he expected, but he liked it. He told her his name for the first time, and she thanked him. 

​

After their meal, Leoma asked Wilson if he knew about Paradise Harbor. A place to the far east of Lotebirma that was a safe haven and great place for the homeless to find a stable life. She gave him a list of directions, and promised to see him again someday. 

​

Though he was still doubtful, Wilson decided to follow the directions to the location. After going down newly constructed roads and passing by various construction zones, he found a newly built neighborhood and harbor. Suddenly, he was confronted by two scalies wearing expensive suits and sunglasses. They asked him if he was the skunk who was taking on the gang members terrorizing Lotebirma. Wilson said he was, and the suit wearing men offered Wilson a decent room to stay in for shelter, water, and a job opportunity. Wilson hesitated, but agreed since he had nothing to lose. 

​

He was led to a small apartment building and given a tiny fully furnished home. He asked the men why they were doing this, to which they simply responded they were following their bosses orders to help him. 

​

Wilson was later given a job at a local clothing store and started making money. Over time, more homeless teens around his age came to the harbor for shelter and work. During this time he became close friends with three other teen boys who also had a tough reputation in Lotebirma. 

​

Eventually, they attract the attention of the Lotebirma police department and the owner of the harbor, who turns out to be a famous multibillionaire known as Cobra. They both offer the friends money to continue to fight the gangs overrunning Lotebirma. Their goal is to have ordinary citizens make the gangs appear weak to encourage the public to feel less helpless against them. 

​

Wilson and his friends accepted, and they formed the secret anti-criminal gang known as 'Drift,' and he became their unofficial leader. With help from their friends, allies, and even lovers, they strive to cause as much trouble for the gangs as possible until the police have them all arrested. 

​

Eventually, Wilson developed deep feelings for Leoma and they began a relationship. He promised they will one day move in together so she could be away from her bigoted, greedy, narcissistic father.
