Pyx was the type of guy that had no boundaries, he never wanted to be held back or confined to one space. Growing up with Theo and Gage, Pyx saw himself as nothing special. Theodore with his smarts and Gage with his leadership skills, he want to be known for something too. He always saw himself as a small little speck in this giant world and he finally decided what he wanted to do: Travel. Pyx decided that as soon as he was done with all his schooling, that he would travel the world and take pictures of those awesome moments.

Years later, as soon as Pyx was ready to leave Apophis went rampant trying to kill everyone in the family in any means possible. Apophis manipulated a young girl named Rebecca to carry out his dirty work ultimately leading to the lose of wings disabling him from flying, for quite awhile. After Sobek defeated his brother, Apophis left leaving the small family in place, but not without some emotional trauma. Pyx was depressed for months, ever since the lose of his wings; he couldn't do anything, couldn't fly anywhere and all his dreams of traveling were shattered with his wings. The remaining Generals decided to give Pyx a "pick me up" and ultimately bought land in Noir City to build Pyx his very own dance club. At first, presenting Pyx with the dance club he didn't care and stayed depressed for a little bit more, but after a few my pleas for him to try it out he did and Pyx ended up loving the rush and fun of the club and Neon Dance Club became the #1 place to hangout at night in Noir City.

A year later, after the opening of the club Pyx started to feel something new, something that made him feel empty: loneliness. Yes, his wings grew back eventually, but every time he was ready to leave he stopped in his tracks feeling like he was... was missing something.

"I would usually say suck it up", Sobek started one night walking out and about with Pyx, "but I'm gonna be nice and ask you what is it you keep feeling you're missing?"

"I-I don't know dude", Pyx responded looking down at the gray sidewalk, "I just know that I feel lonely and empty."

"Well... why don't you try parenthood?"

Pyx stopped in his track s and looked up towards Sobek almost in surprise. "Wait... P-parenthood!? I'm here talking about how I feel empty like I'm missing a piece of me and you're talking to me about raising a kid!?"

Sobek laughed momentarily then started right into Pyx's eyes. "I always see how you are with children and I can't help, but tell that you're so much happier when you're around children."

Pyx shrugged and smiled, but knew that Sobek was right in that aspect. He did feel way better when he was around kids... it was just his thing. They decided to go get a bite to it at a taco truck, it was close to 11 by the time they got there, so there weren't that many people around, but the tacos were plenty. As soon as they walked up towards the truck a child bumped into Sobek and walked away a little quicker. Pyx looked at the child's face, but it was cloaked in the darkness, he could tell that the child was a small girl that almost looked scared. Pyx then turned around to see what seemed to be Sobek's wallet.

"Um, Sobek, what color is your wallet?" Pyx asked tapping on his cousin's shoulder.

"Denim blue with brown trim", Sobek said narrowing his eyes a little, "Whyyyyyy?"

"Well don't get me wrong, but I think that child that bumped into you just took your wallet."

Sobek whirled around with furry in his eyes eyed the child as if he was a bull facing a red cape. "Hey kid!" The child turned around with wide eyes as the child started to back away. "GET BACK HERE WITH MY FUCKING WALLET!!!!" That's when the child sprinted and Sobek ran after her. Pyx followed behind quickly. The child was clearly faster and way more agile than the two guys and was able to slip away into slim alleyways, but Pyx and Sobek were relentless.
