((Welcome to the forums, and hope you enjoy your time here. This has to be my longest post yet, jeez...))<br/><br/>In one home lived the successor to one of the world's greatest inventors, Mothomas Eka. The young man's name was Avery Eka, respectively, and he was of 19 years of age. Mothomas was a man of humble beginnings, starting off as an engineer for minor city projects after he finished college. However, Mothomas looked for something greater, as he believed his skills were "far too advanced to use for insignificant public works", as Mothomas himself had put it. Mothomas went back to college and stayed for many years, meeting the love of his life, Elli Young, and marrying her along the way. Avery was eventually born, and his birth influenced Mothomas to move on from college and finally put his skills to work.<br/><br/>During Avery's childhood, Mothomas spent plenty of time making invention after invention, receiving several Nobel Prizes and a Lifetime Achievement Award as well. Some of his greatest feats consist of the first ever, fully working flying car, a new meshing solution that is so powerful, even a single drop can hold together two 16-wheelers, a handful of new elements, and even a new power source that causes very minimal damage to the environment. It had seemed that Mothomas had set Avery up for life, but things wouldn't go entirely as planned.<br/><br/>Avery was a shy and reclusive child, finding it hard to make friends, so he didn't have a lot of those. Avery was also submissive, not having much of a backbone, and as a result, was often pushed around and walked all over to other's delight. Despite all this, Mothomas figured Avery didn't need a lot of friends, since he didn't have a lot himself. He confidently sent Avery off to college, figuring that Avery's already good grades would ensure success. Little did he know, Avery would leave after his first year out of pressure. Mothomas believes Avery was simply going through a rough phase, and gave his son a heaping amount of his fortune to get himself a great house to support himself in the meantime.<br/><br/>Avery's house is on par with his father's; up there with the greatest of the great. It had five floors, a couple living rooms, a few kitchens, several bathrooms, guest rooms, an attic, basement, the whole package. Not to mention, it was all suited with the lasted technology. Avery thought it was way too big, especially since he currently lived alone, but his father replied by insisting Avery was a lady's man, and would have himself a big family in no time. Avery was, unlike his father, very humble, and found himself a bit discontent with all the luxuries life had thrown at him. Not that he wanted to be down in the slums, but still.<br/><br/>He had been sitting in his Main Living Room on the first floor, staring out at the rain meditatively on that day. Avery had felt an odd hunger brewing within him, and knew perfectly well what it was. He had his fair share of low class "visitors" before, and sent them down his gullet without question when they were in his territory, as he simply thought it was the law. Avery figured he'd hold himself over with whatever he had in the fridge, as he couldn't go and hunt anyone down himself. That was when there was a knock at his door.<br/><br/>When Avery opened the door, the orphan girl would see a fairly tall young man, at about 5'11". He had pale skin, and a child like face with big blue eyes. He was thin with a somewhat feminine build, and wore a dark blue beanie, a blue jacket, a t-shirt, jeans, and worn down sneakers. Definitely not the apparel of a man who lived so high up, but Avery was odd like that. Avery would look at the orphan girl, surprised at her...well, being here. She faced the great risk of being eaten, which Avery debated at the moment. Her tear stained face convinced Avery otherwise as he looked outside before he signaled for her to come inside, opening the door all the way.
