Background
Usually, finding out you're pregnant is an occasion to celebrate and a time of happiness. This was not the occasion for Elizabeth and Michael Morrison of Tesla Station. Aboard the Ark, each family is only allowed to have one child. Unfortunately for the Morrison's, they had a daughter, Edith. This presented them with a choice. Do they abort the pregnancy or do they keep their new unborn child? In a decision that they did not take lightly, they decided to keep their child. It was not something easy to do and probably only succeeded because of a close family friend who was a doctor and agreed to help. On May 11th, 2132 Elizabeth gave birth in their quarters to Devon James Morrison. Everyone knew the risks and the consequences that came with their decisions. Devon was not allowed to leave the family's quarters and never got to experience the Ark outside the walls of their home.
The life that Devon knew was not an easy one. He knew nothing of the rest of the station except for the members of his family, but his mother would always tell him stories about the Ark and about Earth. He became obsessed with it, wanting to hear stories more about the planet below them than the Ark that they lived on. Most of his life was spent hiding in a crawl space under the floor in order to keep the guards and the council from knowing of his existence. This was his existence for the first four years of his life until their secret was discovered. During an inspection of their quarters, one of the guards discovered Devon's hiding place and Devon inside. His parents were floated for concealing a second child and Devon was taken to the Skybox. His new home. He never saw his sister after the day their parents were floated. Every day after, he always feared his eighteenth birthday when he would be able to be floated like his parents. It was something that haunted him each day as he got older.
Over the years, he saw new faces come and go out of the Skybox and was trained to work on some of the electronic equipment, mostly repairing broken equipment. But he still never saw his sister and slowly began to resent her for forsaking him to the punishment he was given just for being born and forgetting about him. As he grew up, the world in the Skybox became his world. He further educated himself by reading anything he could get his hands on and learned to survive in the Skybox the hard way. Of everything he read, he still held onto his fascination with the planet that they orbit. He learned to protect himself from those who were older, bigger and tougher than he was. Fighting to earn his place and to protect himself. This is the only life he has known, only hearing rumors and stories about life on the Ark second hand by those who come into the Skybox with him.
Characteristics
Description
Devin is a young man who appears to be in his mid- to late teens. He stands five feet, six inches tall and has an athletic build. He has short brown hair and brown eyes that has a hint of anger within them. He has a strong jaw with a squared chin and a short and narrow nose. His face and hands show several small scars from cuts and injuries sustained over the years. He has a fresh looking scar on the left side of his face from his cheek back towards his ear.
He is dressed in a pair of dark grey cargo pants that seem to be fairly baggy on him and are held up by a black nylon belt with a silver buckle. A blue t-shirt covers his torso beneath a black jacket that has been left unzipped. His feet are covered by a pair of black boots that are commonly worn by people from the Ark. His clothes are covered and stained with dirt, grime and dried blood from his time on the ground. Tucked into his belt are two makeshift knives positioned on either hip, positioned for easy reach.
