Jace is quite and withdrawn for a 12 year old, preferring instead of the company of the other children, his comic books and fantasy novel’s. This was not always so.. up until 3 years ago jace was the “popular kid” invited to every ones parties, if something was happening jace was at the heart of it, these somethings more than usual got him and the other kids in to trouble but they had fun so what the harm. The cause of this change what his mother re-marrying and jace gaining a new step father and older step brother.. Things rapidly went from good to bad and then to worse even faster. jace’s step brother didn’t like having a “little brother” and immediately started bullying jace breaking his toy’s calling him name’s, jace quite quickly became miserable, not being able to tell his mother what is happening due to the threats of his step brother “if you dob me in ill cut your fucking balls of you little turd”. Jace’s mother saw that jace was not himself so in an attempt to cheer him up started spending more time with him like they used to be for his step father came on the scene. This led to jace gaining the resentment of his step father, who being a major attention whore grew quickly jealous of the attention jace was receiving over himself. One evening jace’s stepfather returned home from the pub drunk (this seemed to be a regular occurrence) he tripped over one of jace’s toys and riped his trouser’s, he then promptly went up to jace’s room and gave him the first of what would become regular, beatings. jace’s mother unable to come to terms with what was happening soon ended up hiding at the bottom of a bottle of gin. jace eventually crawled into his own shell, one thing manage to stop jace completely shut the world out. one day when jace was hiding from his step brother and drunken stepfather in there attic jace stumbled on to some diary’s that his real father had written before he had died, as it turned out these diary’s where a series of letters writen to jace himself with all the things his father would have wished to have told and taught jace (like honor dutie an his fathers idears on what a man should be) and all his feelings for jace. just in case he died in service (just like he did). the diary’s where keped with all his fathers other items that his mother kept (and probably now forgotten) including a vast number of fantasy novels (wich jace is slowly reading through). Now when jace cant take his home life any more he hides in his secret place in the attic. the last thing about jace that has been brewing for the past year is his anger, jace seems to be slowly loosing control.. this often leads to violent out bursts at school when the kids make fun of him (and often leads to him being beaten more at home). jace is scared of these out bursts of his as he dreams of becoming the fine honorable man his father dreamed he would become but he just cant seem to control it…....
