THE PAST

Hometown: none in aprticular; born and raised in an extremist catholic cult.
Was his/her childhood happy? Troubled? Dull? his childhood was very controlled and troubled. he remembers it very well, due to his sharp memory, and it consisted mostly of his father training him to be the next extremist priest after him. he wasn't allowed to ever move, talk, or express any emotion while in public unless told to do so.
Earliest memory: (tw: abuse) learning how to refrain from expressing any emotion under any circumstance by his father beating him when was around four and a half years old.
Saddest memory: having to watch poker-faced, facing the consequence of death if she showed emotion or moved to stop it, as his father poisoned all the people he had grown up with, including his only friend, with poisoned whiskey at the age of fifteen.
Happiest memory: playing in the garden outside the chapel with his mother when he was seven years old.

How much school did s/he attend, if any? he attended a form of the education curriculum until about eighth grade through his cult from the ages of four through fifteen, although he received a lot of religious education.
Did/does s/he like school? Why or why not? he hated school, because the little number of children accompanying him paired with angry and strict teachers who were overly religious were too much. he doesn't have a good idea of what education is.

Most significant childhood event: losing his mother
Other significant childhood events, if any? (tw: abuse) learning the rules of the cult by being abused by his father, making a friend named adam, stepping out of line during mass and being locked in an isolation room for two weeks
First crush or romantic love? has not had one yet.

Major accidents or traumas? (tw: abuse) being beaten by his father, being locked in an isolation room for two weeks when he was eight
How is s/he still affected, if at all? the reason he's so introverted and awkward is because of the isolation room. he used to be a talkative kid, until his father locked him up, and it took a huge toll on him mentally.
