His dad was a business man. He was a Business Management Consultant specializing in tech, he was professional and someone to be respected. The same couldn't be said now... However, Despite the fact he made little time for his family, he earned enough money so his wife could stay at home and care for their only son, Paris.
Today Paris' father, a once motivated indavidual, can now be found  wasting away in the home he is now struggling just to keep. Upon entering the smell of stale beer hits you like a brick wall, you are greeted by the disarray that is piling dishes, soiled laundry, empty bottles and uneaten food which clutter the house.
These next couple years of neglect would age Paris' father significantly, he gained weight and developed several unhealthy coping mechanisms.
At sixteen Paris ran away from home, taking his father's van with him. The thing hardly ran, it was old and beat up, so for a while he kept it in bug's grandma's garage while the two tried to fix it.

Bug and Paris met at church when they were children, the same church Paris attended choir at. It was his mother's idea to put him in a choir, against what his father thought was best for him. He was very much against the notion, but her word was final. There his love for singing only grew, and that talent was nurtured and flourished.

Weeks. Weeks had passed before paris' father thought to contact him, and that was only because he noticed his van was missing. It had been stowed away in his garage for so long, it was not fit to dive and neither was he. After one too many DUIs and numerous tickets he failed to pay his liscense was taken from him permanently. So it was no surprise it took him so long to notice, he only went into the garage to rummage about for the breaker box after a short circuit. However that was put into the back of his mind after seeing the big empty space in his garage...
He wasn't impressed to say the least.

Paris' mother passed when he was only a child, nine years old to be exact. Some inexplicable illness is what he's been told, however he always knew it was something more sinister, even his father had his doubts. she was perfectly healthy, and her death was so sudden. He avoided the topic at all costs, he was very close to his mother and a spitting image of her too.
