HISTORY.

being born and raised in aurora bay as a st. james, an affluent family built on generational wealth from the days the little beach town was originally founded, came with high expectations. cassandra st. james was a hard woman to impress and an even harder woman to squeeze an ounce of maternal instinct out of. she had never wanted children, but her husband had worn her down with pretty speeches about legacies and dynasties.

warner st. james was always more comfortable with his face buried into a sketch pad than he was being forced into dinner parties and local community events by his parents, where he would often be found with his aforementioned sketch pad working on his latest character re-design from his favourite video game or comic book.

he wasn't like his brother—charming and able to make people hang on every word he said, nor was he like his sister—as brilliant and clever as she was considered beautiful. warner was leagues behind elijah and talon, struggling with simple reading and writing tasks, which his mother would only berate him for. why can't you be more like your brother, he would have been teaching this class by now and instead you're failing to keep up with even the slowest of dimwits.

each disparaging word was a cruel and devastating blow to his self-esteem and self-worth as it was his pride and yet, warner only found himself seeking his mother's approval even more.

a natural born people pleaser, he only ever wanted cassandra to feel a modicum of pride she felt for her other children for him too, but nothing he seemed to do was good enough for her—he wasn't enough.

it didn't matter how many sports he played, how many assignments he took on for extra credits or how many hours he put in studying only to score a C or D in that subject; it still wasn't enough for his mother.

warner's first act of rebellion came when he was a college freshman, majoring in applied mathematics and engineering with his whole future mapped out for him and he realised, for the first time, that he no longer needed to live under his mother's thumb and he could be whoever he wanted to be.

he switched his major for computer science and video game design, having never given up on his dream to become a video game designer, and landed himself an internship in los angeles with one of the top video game companies once he graduated college.

while living out in los angeles, warner created a twitch account and would often stream himself playing overwatch or fortnite. it was never supposed to become anything, certainly wasn't supposed to amass a large online following who flooded his comment section with love and support. it was started as a hobby, an attempt to earn an extra little income seeing as he wouldn't have his families money as support.

warner spent five years living in los angeles, completing his internship and earning himself a spot with an independent video game company who were slowly building a name for themselves all the while continuing to run his twitch account.

he returned to aurora bay at the age of twenty seven, his job allowing for remote work and making it possible for him to work wherever he wanted without the need of leaving his home. instead of moving back in with his family upon his return, he moved into crystal cove condominiums where he last been living for the last five years

TIDBITS.

warner has always felt like something was different about him compared to the rest of his family, but he could never quite put his finger on what that difference was until his freshman year of college when he was diagnosed with dyslexia
