History

TW for child abuse, toxic relationships, prostitution, underage in sexual situations

Kevin's mother, Ms. Wu, was a beautiful woman, and she knew it. Like a butterfly, she danced between men in the high society of Hong Kong, ones she could gain favors from. She never prostituted herself, of course. Selling oneself for a set price was below her. It all ended when she fell in love with a certain married man and intentionally bore his child. Her true love couldn't and wouldn't ruin his marriage, being a political one in nature, and she knew that as well. So, she picked one of her other suitors, also well-to-do and powerful, to settle with. Of course, she lied about the father of her child.

The man, Kevin's non-biological father, thought what they had was true love, but he grew suspicious after a hospital visit when Kevin was 3 years old. Upon DNA testing, the cat was out of the bag. Within a year, the divorce proceedings went through, and the mother and son were exiled to America. Kevin was also stripped of the man's last name and now bore his mother's.

The man was generous enough to leave the two of them a decent sum, but Ms. Wu was used to the high life, and it wasn't long before their fund ran low. Ms. Wu obviously resorted back to her old ways, but she was growing old and had a child. She eventually had to become the very prostitute she once looked down upon.

Kevin grew up watching different men come and go in their home. He was taught by Ms. Wu how to use beauty and sexuality as a weapon. He was taught the importance of money and power, which he could only obtain through other people. He was also taught how to endure pain, mental and physical, as she took out all her anger and frustrations on him. Not to mention, the particularly depraved would ask him to take part in Ms. Wu's work as well. Of course, Ms. Wu was all about appearances if nothing else, so her customers weren't allowed to go all the way with Kevin and marks were left only in areas unseen by outsiders. The most useful skill she taught him was how to hide and deceive.

Living in such an oppressive environment, Kevin had considered seeking help, but Ms. Wu had scared and guilted him into never taking action. It was only after her death when he was 14, that he was finally freed. Well, "freed" would not be the right word, since her teachings had already been etched into his very being.

Social services had let him finish middle school where he was (he wasn't very affected by Ms. Wu's death), but when it came to high school, they wanted to relocate him. Their plan was originally planned to put him in another school. Once Kevin overheard about Edgebaston, where a lot of rich kids were attending, though, he worked the charm that Ms. Wu had trained and landed himself where he wanted.

At Edgebaston, he fabricated a whole new backstory and personality, hoping to get into the "right crowd" and maybe attract the attention of one or two rich boys. His sexuality stemmed from his loathing of Ms. Wu -- despite not hating all women, he would feel nauseated thinking about them in a sexual manner.

He managed to get himself a job at the sketchy gay bar the summer before high school started, to finance his fabricated lifestyle. He was only a waiter for the first 2 years, but becoming a performer meant more hourly pay and the chance of getting requested for "outings". So, this summer, he trained under a current performer, and was now a drag stripper.

Extras:

• Luggage:
  
  • The basics
  • Secret duffle bag: hair nets, tights/stockings, various tapes, heavy-duty makeup, NSFW toys and accessories (his drag clothes, heels, and wigs are provided by and stored at the gay club)
  • A gem necklace that was Ms. Wu's most treasured possession, presumably a gift from his birth father
• Extracurricular Activities: Science club, debate club
• Was a light-weight, but got used to drinking with working at the club, and gradually built up his tolerance

I wish I could touch you - hold you hand, stroke your hair, lean against you - but I can't. I know it'll make you uncomfortable. I know you will never feel the butterflies that I would, that you'd never have the same dreams I had.

Is it wrong for me to want hold these feelings, desires, thoughts? I only wish for some physical touches before our impending parting. I once dreamt of visiting you, but friends wouldn't do that. I once wish for a touch, but you wouldn't do that.

I think everyone knows of my crush by now, with how I turned into a tomato the whole time. I even wonder if you've ever seen me without a blush. Why must I feel so much, when all is but a fantasy?

We didn't even hug goodbye. And you left me on read.

I don't think I have the time for another rp, so I'll be withdrawing

Centuries (SoulStealer + evierose)

Milo's answer gave Aqua a lot to think about. Starting with the immediate question, "You can't tell me anything about the first case? Even when the suspects are practically the same people?" The fact that Milo was willing to talk, yet not able to fully divulge, was speaking volumes. There were greater things at work here. They'd just met today, so there was a good chance he didn't trust anyone. It might take some work, but Aqua was determined to get it out of him eventually. Of course, it would be best if their investigations could progress without the need for that information.

"I don't consider anyone my friend. I don't expect you to trust me fully either. I'm not going to dismiss the possibility you just brought up, but it's not out of place for Maliyov to be on edge. Not the most uncommon behavior to have around here, especially after our last big one." She paused before continuing, "But, Maliyov is the one who conducted the interview with the Emri as well. As for my files, they went through a few hands before I got them, so I have no clue about the existence of the 3rd page... Actually, I never even noticed the discrepancy in numbers before you mentioned it. The transcript seemed to have come to a natural end."

Aqua tapped her finger on the table while pondering. Maybe someone did betray the team and was hindering their progress. Maybe she should speak with Maliyov as well. Should he really be trusted though? Milo did bring up a good point, but maybe it was his way of diverting attention. Then, it occurred to her, "Wait, what you said about Ava Emri... how did we manage to find her and bring her in for questioning then? Why were her oddities not mentioned anywhere in the files? Why were her files barebone to begin with? What can you tell me about her?"
