I plan on bringing in this Teddy Geiger with the name of Derek Morgan. He has a bit of a complicated life story. I can just give you the 411 for now, I still have some small facts to work out before I finish his bio. He is the oldest of two. He has two younger sisters, one who is sixteen and one who is fourteen. He is a recent graduate of Tegesta at eighteen years old himself. He wanted to go to college, but due to financial issues he can't at the moment. When he was born, his mother suffered from Postpartum depression, and because of that she never fully developed connection with her son. He was removed from his house at three by social services for neglect, until his uncle moved in with his mother, and managed to get him back into his care so his mother could try and get better. So she said. He has had several case workers assigned to him, where there has always been a social worker breathing down his mothers neck making sure she was taking good care of him. He never really felt like she wanted him, though and because of this he has a self esteem issue. How is a boy supposed to feel when his own mother neglects him? He taught himself to play the guitar at ten, and has been writing his own music since he was thirteen years old. He was the boy in high school that felt no one knew him. He sat in the back, never raised his hand, always got good grades, never caused any trouble. He doesn't even know half the people in his graduating class. He expresses himself through music, he doesn't own anything that isn't a band shirt. If you want to strike up conversation with him...just bring up music. He is terrified of playing in large groups. He has a severe case of social anxiety, in large groups he freaks out.
Since graduating, he has been trying to change himself. He's tried to be more social but he has issues with that. I hope this doesn't make it more difficult to get him some lines, I can understand how it can be with someone like him. I would love at least a handful of close friends, some new friends, people who try and help him...I hope we can work something out! I've been wanting to bring Derek somewhere for a long time now, and this just seems like the perfect home for him!
