Background

Preacher's Son

Gus was born to a respected small town pastor and his wife, a nurse for a local family doctor. Unlike his brothers Frankie and Pablo, Gus rejected his Latin American heritage, preferring to leave it behind as he grew up in rural Indiana. Not that his brothers rejected the culture in which they were raised, but Gus refused to speak Spanish even at home, causing his Spanish to be quite poor, and refused to entertain his father's Colombian and his mother's Mexican traditions and Hispanic traditions in general. While he and his brothers picked up slight accents from their parents, Gus actively worked to eradicate his as much as he could.

As a younger kid, Gus often felt alienated by his ethnicity. But as he entered his tweens, he started to make more friends and developed a more healthy social life. He became interested in sports, mostly baseball and football. He soundly rejected soccer as he had with many other traits that might mark him as stereotypically Hispanic. His rejection of his culture and heritage often led him into conflict with his parents and he soon fell to delinquency. Much of his rebellion was social, just getting under his father's skin for the sake of doing so. He often mocked Christianity, despite retaining belief in God, and used many anti-Hispanic slurs. Most of his delinquency was minor, such as graffiti on the churches or vandalization of private gardens, but one night he got in over his head.

Coma

Gus was best friends with the sheriff's oldest son, Jack. There were many jokes about how the preacher's boy and the sheriff's son were the town hellions. The two had a complimentary relationship; Jack had many devious plots and schemes, but it was Gus who had the driving force to actually spur the two into action. Thus it was one night the two of them and three of their cohorts broke into an old Catholic church building that had recently, been abandoned in favor of a new, more modern building just outside town. Being used mostly for storage, the boys rummaged through the building, leaving quite a mess of scattered and broken decorations and equipment. As usual, it was Jack who came up with the idea of fire and Gus who produced the lighter, but the other three no longer held interest in the evening's events and fled.

The church building ended up gutted by fire, but before they were destroyed by the heat, security cameras had recorded the events of the night and sent the footage to a server in the new church building. So the next morning the two were arrested and their families' influences couldn't help them this time. Due to their age, however, they were put into community service and their high school sports careers held hostage if they didn't clean up their act.

The two tried to be good. For the most part their forced servitude and threats of losing their baseball and football kept them in line. They still goofed off a bit and a few times came close to crossing a line, but a stern look or cleared throat was all it took to quell their mischievous inclinations. It would not, however, be enough to keep them out of trouble forever.

While the two were out hunting one weekend, they stumbled over an old shack in the woods. The small barely standing structure somehow managed to hold up enough for someone to apparently be living there, though whoever it was had apparently departed. Gus and Jack could not suppress their curiosity, though, and began looking through the place. Only moments later the resident of the shack returned and they fled from the old man, Jack dropping his rifle and being too afraid to go back for it and Gus ending up tripping on a root and falling into a small ravine.

With Gus unconscious, Jack began to panic as they had been stupid and ventured into unknown territory, probably crossing property lines. He didn't know his way back to the truck, almost got lost from Gus's position, and ended up curling up with Gus and crying himself to sleep when he couldn't wake Gus up. And that's how the two were found in the morning, Gus in a coma and Jack sobbing for his friend to wake up.

Jack took Gus's coma as hard as Gus's family did. He was there always at Gus's side for an entire month before he was convinced to go back to school and resume his life. Even so, he was at the hospital every day for the rest of the school year if only for a brief visit. It was then he admitted to his and Gus's family that there was more to their friendship than platonic affection. He found both families to be surprisingly supportive, though ultimately Gus's mother was the one who convinced Jack that he needed to move on, that her son at this point was unlikely to recover. Gus refused to hear it and for the next two years kept visiting Gus. But time gave way to life and Jack met someone new. Eventually, Jack's visits became annual and his ties to small town Indiana were no longer enough to keep him there. College gave way to life on the other side of the country.

Thirteen years Gus spent unconscious. Then the miracle happened. Or quite possibly a curse in disguise. Or more likely, as most things in life, something more complicated. Green energy ran through Gus's body, healing him and restoring his body to health. Unwitnessed by anyone, the reason for Gus's miraculous recovery remains a mystery. But his awakening did not go unnoticed. With a foggy mind, Gus glanced around his room, sitting up confused and disoriented. A moment later an orderly came into the room to swap out some supplies and noticed Gus awake. The resulting commotion nearly overwhelmed Gus.

Troubles

Life was hectic. Whatever healed him left his muscles not atrophied, so his recovery was mostly psychological. There was a thirteen year hole in his life. And media vultures circling, waiting for a piece of the story. He was a fifteen year old boy in the body of a twenty eight year old man. There were legalities to take care of, a love lost to time, a family who gave him way more attention than he was particularly interested In dealing with. His brothers came home to see him. Jack came home to see him. Life threw much at him in a short time.

Gus did not handle his new life well.
