This story is based of TheFandomPhantom 's Steins Gate Based rp. It is the backstory of Harry Caid, the counterpart of Kiryu Moeka. This is how he became who he is by the time of the rp, at least by my canon.
--------
Harry had always been insanely smart. Even at a young age, he had been able to work with computers incredibly well. He had been well known by many people as a computer prodigy, although he quickly found that there wasn't enough for him to do, at least not at his age. He wanted to work on something more than just regular computers, he wanted to live doing something more. But he never did. In the end, the world went on as normal, with eventually SERN taking over, along with World War 3. And Harry never did anything special. He just watched, unable to do anything, not involved in any way. Of course, this was only in one world line. In another, things changed...
--------
Harry was a 6th Grader. He had always been teased by the other kids, as he didn't care about making friends, and spent all the time on his phone or laptop. He didn't enjoy what he was doing, he wasn't having fun. Harry had been bored one day. He didn't have a purpose, he worked with computers, successfully out shined all his classmates in Middle School, went home, did his homework almost instantly, and than he went outside, as he tended to do when he was bored, and to get away from his parents. He assumed that things would be the same as always. Except on that day, things finally were different. He was simply walking through the streets by himself, when suddenly a woman came up to him. Harry looked shocked, was she trying to kidnap him?! He started to run, but ended up back in a corner. Looking back behind him, the woman chasing him looked kind of sad, like she didn't really want to be doing this. Harry realized he been backed into a corner,"Who are you?!" He called out, scared.
"I'm the person who's going to give you a chance. You want you're life to be different, don't you?" She said.
"What, what do you mean?" Harry said, still scared.
"You do want something more don't you? What if I told you, that you could work for a real company?" She said.
"A real company?" Harry said, his voice trying to hide his excitement.
"Yeah, one working on super cool futuristic stuff." The woman was trying to sound happy,"On computers and stuff."
"Really, that sounds really cool, oh, what company is it?" Harry had completely forgotten he was trying to run away.
"SERN. I hear they may even start trying to work on time travel!" The woman said.
"That doesn't sound possible, but could I really work on that?" Harry said,"How can I do this, tell me right now?"
"Here." She handed him a packet,"There's a flash drive that should let you access their servers. Prove to them that you'd be a good helper for their company."
Harry eagerly grabbed the packet,"Thank you, Ms... uh, what's your name?"
"I'm Lane." She said,"Anyways, I hope you take full advantage of this chance I'm giving you." She then walked away, leaving Harry alone with the packet. Harry headed home, interested to make himself get a job at SERN.

The girl walked into her time machine, and pulled out the current journal she was writing in: Time Travel #485: I turned an innocent boy into a monster. There's not a single part of me that doesn't want to take this back, that doesn't regret this decision. I can only hope it'll make a difference. The time machine disappeared, to check how things changed once again.
--------
Harry never knew what happened to his parents. A few days after he hacked into the SERN servers, they disappeared. He wondered about it for a while, but then he realized he didn't care, he actually got to work there! I mean, he got to basically stay alone and work on computers now. He no longer had to be stuck with all the other mean and stupid kids. And anyways, it was thanks to this that he meet someone who finally cared. Over messages, this person looked at Harry as more than just some smart kid who can be easily bullied. He wondered if it was the same person who let him join SERN, but the person didn't know who he was talking about when he asked about it. Because this person cared about him, and had gotten him out of the boring and sad life he had been living, he knew he would do anything back to help him.
So, he now lived a life where he felt satisfied and happy.
--------
A few years passed. Harry had now done many things for SERN and the person over the mail. Even if this things may be "wrong", he knew it was thanks to doing them that he lived a happy life, so he didn't care. He soon got another text message,"Alright, I have another job for you. I need you to keep track of and follow a certain person. Her name is Kyasurin Asihin, and you could probably find her in an apartment in the 2nd floor above an electronics shop. I've attached a picture here, so you know who you're watching. Be ready for any updates or more instructions." Harry quickly looked over the picture and decided to try to find Kyasurin immediately. He didn't think there was anything wrong with this, nor would he feel bad when he got the orders which would lead to him killing Violet. Because he was living a happy life, and that was what he wanted more than anything.
--------
Oh god I feel like a horrible person now... Anyways, the second backstory I write will be on Kay, although I'm not sure when I will write it.
