Personality

Background
TWs: PEDOPHILIA, DOMESTIC ABUSE, CHILD ABUSE, DRUG/ALCOHOL USE

Ted was an only child, born to a loving family in Manhattan. He had always succeeded academically and athletically, taking an interest most in engineering and football. Any athletic ambition he might have had was unfortunately crushed by early onset rheumatoid arthritis, his mainly affecting his spine. He was 14 when he was diagnosed.

When he was 15, he fell in love with his physical therapist, a much older man who's name is not important. The therapist unfortunately reciprocated, and they ended up dating. Within a year Ted was completely cut off from his family and friends. He stopped attending school and became trapped within his boyfriends apartment. At the very least he was put through severe emotional and physical abuse. When Ted was 18 he snapped; he took his boyfriend's gun and shot him until he was unrecognizable. A few minutes later he called the cops on himself, terrified of his own actions.

He was sentenced to death, however, the police department didn't want to waste resources on him, and he was sent to Pennsylvania instead.
