Copy-paste from Tumblr:

Gabe's full name is Gabriel Taylor. He's 20 years old, his birthday is August 31st.

Iggy's full name is Igneous (and I never gave him a last name so whatever). He's 19 years old, his birthday is August 7th.

The two met as kids. Gabe had been hopping foster homes and orphanages since he was around 6 years old. He met Iggy and the two became fast friends. After exploring an abandoned house with some other friends, the building caught fire and Iggy got his foot stuck. The other friends bailed and Gabe stayed to help. They made it out alive but both injured. Iggy had to get multiple parts of his body replaced with metal, including his right eye. Gabe has burn scars on his legs.

Iggy was thrown out of his home by his extremely catholic parents, who saw him as a monster, coupled with the fact he's an atheist and they thought he and Gabe were secretly lovers.

Gabe and Iggy, at this point both homeless teenagers, lived on the streets together for years. Neither of them finished high school, and instead worked full time. Eventually they bought an apartment together and they've been living there ever since.
