History:
Maceo Camden was born to a deeply religious mother and apathetic father in the small town of Henning, Tennessee, as the product of a shotgun marriage. The most that he knows during that time is that shortly after they moved away to Memphis to get away from family. Throughout elementary school he was seen as a timid kid with no motivation. Most of his teachers gave up on him rather easily, which only helped fuel his passion to use grit. At eleven he went to a public prep school known for 'challenging' it's students. Upon the start of his year he was seen in a newer aspect - a incredibly smart and mature young man that without a doubt had a shot at some of the most competitive highschools across the country.
However it came at a cost. He was picked on ruthlessly for his appearance and ambition. The teachers didn't care much. He even began to tell his mother and she didn't believe him. And he was scared to open up to his father. Now, Maceo's seventh and eighth grade years are what would be called... Strange. In seventh he picked up an excessive usage of profanity, arrogance, laziness, and something his teachers could only describe as a "severe distaste in humanity, lack of optimism, and strange thoughts".
In eighth grade when he came back most of it seemed to be... Fixed. Apparently he started to have a different outlook on life. But that's just how he started to project himself. Inside he began to succumb to insomnia, obsession for fire, and a fascination with psychology and tragic events. On the outside his relationship with his mother started to grow increasingly toxic per day. He grew to hate her homophobic and sexist ideals and grew closer to his father's irreligious and carefree lifestyle.
Fast forward to his teens. His parents divorce and his mom is given custody of him. From afar he has to watch his dad's efforts to fight for him. Maceo's obsession for fire grows into cravings to see it and to play with matches. At fourteen he commits his first arson - burning down one of neighbor's small sheds. Nobody suspected him. A year later he started to get urges to do it again, but learned to 'control' them with lighters. His mother starts to disagree with every aspect of his life - his agnosticism, open-mindedness, and socially awkwardness. So of course she does the motherly thing and starts to verbally and physically abuse him. Forcing him to read the bible.
Seventeen. He gets kicked out of the house and lives on the streets. Goes off the grid at some friends house and starts to get involved with cybercrime and drug culture. A few warnings from the police here and there. Continues studies at school. Eighteen. Graduates and goes to live with his father. Twenty. Argument with his father, leaves his house, lives with a friend for sometime. Twenty-one... Rents a car and buys nearly a trunk load of alcohol and gasoline to 'celebrate' his birthday. Proceeds to light his mother's house on fire and practically laughs at the flames. She survives with third degree burns and the fumes damage her respiratory system, everyone's a bit shocked that he finally clicked, Maceo gets thrown in jail. His judge sees something special... Gets touched by his story of being outcast and abused. Ten years parole.
Within just a few months witnesses have testified against him lighting an abandoned warehouse on fire. Thrown into jail once again but this time without parole. Diagnosed with pyromania and insomnia primarily. 'Strange' thoughts turn out to be very vivid ones about mass murder, fire, and 'beings' that can only be explained as ones that always stare at you in an emotionless manor.
