Brian and Silas are childhood friends and trans
Silas was a REALLY big kid, being taller than both his parents at around 10 years old, and was mocked a lot as a result. This wasn't good, because he had anger issues, which resulted in him lashing out, and he lost an eye when he was only 13 from a scuffle he had with some dick
Brian was a rowdy kid himself, and often did weird things like sharpening branches and finding poisonous slugs. While everyone around him assumed it was for violent purposes, Brian just really liked to mess around with whatever he could find and tried to find a use for it somehow.
When the two of them started to get talked about a lot more (no good news unfortunately), Brian suggested starring up a club where they could be cool and do whatever they wanted without judgement. They both started it, and later Erik, Patrick, Colin, and Faris joined them as well
