HISTORY
TW: PARENT DEATH, MENTION OF INFANT LOSS
HELIOS WAS BORN INTO A RICHER FAMILY. HIS FATHER, ERASMUS, WAS A WELL RENOWNED REDBLOOD ARCHITECT, THAT ENJOYED TRAVELING THE WORLD AND TAKING HIS CRAFT WHEREVER HE COULD. IT WAS IN FINLAND THAT HE MET LIO'S MOTHER, ESSI. WHILE SHE WAS JUST A TRAVELING SALESWOMAN/NOMAD, SHE CAUGHT HIS EYE ALL THE SAME.
HIS PARENTS WERE SKEPTICAL ABOUT THE WOMAN AT FIRST — SHE WAS A HYBRID AFTER ALL — HOWEVER THEY LET THEIR SON COURT HER AND THE TWO QUICKLY FELL IN LOVE. FOR A LONG WHILE, THEY DIDN'T THINK THEY COULD EVEN HAVE CHILDREN. IT TOOK COUNTLESS NEGATIVE AFTER NEGATIVE AND LOSS UNTIL FINALLY HELIOS CAME ALONG AND HE WAS THEIR EVERYTHING. FROM A YOUNG AGE, THEY COULD TELL HE WAS DIFFERENT, BUT HIS PARENTS BEING A BIT OLDER AND FINALLY HAVING THEIR MIRACLE CHILD MEANT THEY WERE PATIENT ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH ANYTHING. HIS CLOSENESS AND PARENTAL SUPPORT USUALLY ALWAYS TRUMPED THE BULLYING AND TORMENT HE'D GET FROM HE PEERS FOR BEING "THE WEIRD KID".
HE WAS ALWAYS TRAVELING WITH HIS PARENTS, USUALLY BY BOAT SO HE AND HIS MOTHER COULD BE IN THE WATER WHENEVER THEY LIKED. IT WAS HIS MOTHER WHO'D GOTTEN HIM INTO COLLECTING AND FINDING NEW GIDGETS AND ANTIQUES ON THEIR MANY ADVENTURES. AND IT WAS SHE WHO STARTED THEIR ANTIQUE SHOP IN JASPER TOWN — ONE OF THEIR FAVORITE CITIES TO VISIT.
ONE NIGHT THEY'D GOTTEN HOME LATE FROM A FAMILY TRIP TO FIND A COUPLE MEN HAD BROKEN INTO THEIR HOUSE. THEY'D BEEN BOMBARDED, ERASMUS AND HELIOS TIED UP WHILE THEY ATTEMPTED TO "DRAIN HER HEALING", CONFUSING THE WOMAN FOR A CELESTINE. WHEN SHE REFUSED, THEY DECIDED TO KILL HER. ERASMUS TRIED TO USE HIS COERCION TO GET THE MEN TO TURN ON ONE ANOTHER, BUT IT DIDN'T WORK UNTIL LIO WAS ABLE TO BRIEFLY GRAB HOLD OF HIS FATHER. THIS WASN'T BEFORE ESSI WAS KILLED HOWEVER.
AFTER THAT NIGHT, ERA TOOK A COUPLE MONTHS TO GET THEIR AFFAIRS IN ORDER BEFORE THEY SOLD THEIR HOUSE IN FINLAND AND MOVED TO JASPER TOWN. LIO AND HIS FATHER HAVE BEEN THERE FOR TWELVE YEARS NOW.
