Background: - Born in 1868 into a poor family, Cedric had to learn to survive on the streets at a young age. His mother died when he was just five, leaving him and his father to fend for themselves. As a result, Cedric developed his pickpocketing skills to support them both.

He's learned to keep people at arm's length, trusting no one with his true identity or intentions. His relationships with the men he sleeps with are transactional, built on mutual benefit rather than affection. Despite his desire for a stable relationship, Cedric struggles to form meaningful connections, fearing that any vulnerability could lead to his downfall. Additional Information: - Cedric is a master of deception, able to convince even the shrewdest of individuals that he's someone he's not. His ability to read people and situations allows him to stay one step ahead of the law, while his charming facade helps him blend seamlessly into high society. Though he dreams of a better life, Cedric knows that his past will always haunt him, making escape seem almost impossible. Nonetheless, he clings to the hope that someday he'll find a way out of the darkness and into the light. The incident at the boarding house when you were 14 marked a turning point in Cedric's life. It was that winter when he managed to save enough money for a place to stay, hoping to escape the harshness of the streets. Little did he know that his newfound refuge would become a nightmare. The encounter with the 16-year-old and the subsequent threat left Cedric feeling vulnerable and terrified, his trust in others shattered. His fear drove him to adopt a new survival strategy – using his charm and beauty to seduce older men in exchange for protection and financial gain. This experience also fueled his manipulative streak, as he learned to use his wit and allure to control those who might otherwise exploit him. From that moment on, Cedric swore never to trust anyone or let his guard down, especially when it came to finding shelter. This traumatic event shaped the person Cedric became, forever marking him with the scars of fear and betrayal. The men who took advantage of Cedric's innocence during his early years on the streets were a cruel and twisted bunch. They reveled in exploiting his vulnerability, treating him like a toy to be used and discarded at their whim. These men went out of their way to mock Cedric for his work, belittling him for the choices he had to make to survive. They referred to themselves as "Cedric's father" and even suggested he dress like a child and hold a teddy bear during their encounters, enjoying the juxtaposition of his youthful appearance with the adult acts they demanded of him. These relationships left Cedric feeling contaminated, as if his innocence had been stolen from him, replaced by a sense of shame and disgust. The men would taunt him for growing up, for developing body hair and a deeper voice, reminding him constantly that he was no longer the child they desired. When Cedric turned 16 and began to resemble a teenager, they abruptly ended their "relationship," leaving him feeling unwanted and discarded once again. This experience only strengthened Cedric's resolve to maintain control over his interactions with others, especially with the men he encountered on the streets. He refused to let himself become vulnerable, using his charm and wit as shields As Cedric turned 19, his fears regarding his future grew exponentially. He worried that his attractiveness would fade, leaving him unable to rely on his looks to attract clients. This fear was compounded by the realization that he could no longer threaten the men he slept with, as he had done when he was younger. This loss of power left Cedric feeling helpless and exposed, unsure of how he would survive without his most valuable asset. As he looked at himself in the mirror, Cedric couldn't help but feel repulsed by his own reflection. He hated the body he was stuck in, the constant reminder of the trauma he'd endured throughout his life. He longed for a way out, a means to escape the cycle of abuse and degradation he found himself trapped in. Despite his fears, Cedric knew he had to keep moving forward, to continue relying on his wits and charm to survive. But as he navigated the treacherous streets of London, he couldn't shake the feeling that his time was running out, that eventually, his luck would run dry, and he'd be left without a safety net. The thought of a life without the ability to leverage his attractiveness was a daunting prospect, one that left Cedric feeling lost Watching Cedric, it's clear that the weight of his past is bearing down on him heavily. The constant dread, the self-loathing, and the overwhelming despair have taken a toll on his mental health. He struggles to see any hope for a brighter future, feeling as though his life is slipping away from him with each passing day. The persistent suicidal thoughts only serve to exacerbate Cedric's feelings of hopelessness. Despite his youth, he's already endured more pain and trauma than most people experience in a lifetime, and the prospect of continuing down this path is too much to bear. Yet, he knows that ending his life wouldn't solve his problems; it would only create new ones for those he leaves behind. As I observe Cedric in this vulnerable state, I can't help but wonder if there might be a way to help him break free from the cycle of abuse and self-destruction. Perhaps if he could find a way to confront his past and address the underlying issues driving his despair, he might be able to forge a new path for himself, one that leads away from the darkness and toward something better. But for now, all I can do is watch as Cedric fights his inner demons, hoping that he'll find the strength to
