1. How does your character think of their father? What do they hate and love about him? What influence - literal or imagined - did the father have?
SC hates his dad. His dad ditched him and made his mother into how she is today, and he has zero sympathy for his father’s death. He hates everything about him, and loves nothing about him. The only influence SC’s dad had on him was giving him severe abandonment issues.
2. Their mother? How do they think of her? What do they hate? Love? What influence - literal or imagined - did the mother have?
God, fuck that fucking bitch. She treated him like shit when he was still talking to her. Even hit him sometimes. She was (according to Brett and Chet; SC was too young to remember) perfectly fine before their father left. Then she became bitter and hateful. She used SC like a credit card and he got fucking tired of it. Her influences on SC include giving him crazy bad mommy issues and a general distrust for familial relationships.
3. Brothers, sisters? Who do they like? Why? What do they despise about their siblings?
Two twin brothers, Brett and Chet. Fucking dumbasses. SC got all the brains (but none of the brawn). He doesn’t hate them, but he doesn’t talk to them much and rarely sees them.
4. What type of discipline was your character subjected to at home? Strict? Lenient?
SC’s mother was a mixture of strict and lenient. She didn’t care about most things, like Brett and Chet sneaking out all the time, but she cared a great deal about SC slacking on his chores or saying something she perceived as rude.
5. Were they overprotected as a child? Sheltered?
Sheltered. He didn’t have many friends and didn’t go out often, but it had nothing to do with his upraising. He was just Like That.
