Stephen was born in California, USA. He had the average family of a Mum, Dad, two kids and a dog (called Fluffy). Stephen’s father was a small time politician, and his mother was a stay at home wife. They had an average life, with an average sized house, a small pool and the average childhood pleasantries like a TV, and weekly pocket money. His parents - Michel and Lily - were nice parents, not necessarily good ones, but nice anyway. Stephen’s older brother, Edward (affectionately called Ed) was part of California’s punk scene at the time, and he was very different from Stephen.
Katherine Hall’s parents were divorced, and she lived with her father. Her mother had an unfortunate drinks problem, and the court refused to give custody to the ailing woman. Katherine had a younger sister - May - and an older brother - Jack. May and Katherine were good friends, but Jack was much older and they weren’t very close.
Katherine and Stephen went all through school together, and it was clear from an early age that they would become lovers. By the time they reached Sophomore year, they were an item, and at the tender ages of 20 and 18 (respectively) got married. Katherine, right out of high school, didn’t have much in her future in the way of a career, but two years into the marriage, the couple were offered a flourishing stud farm by Katherine’s cousin who lived in Dijon, France. Katherine was a horse fanatic, and persuaded Stephen that it would be a good idea. So the couple moved into the large house that accompanied the farm, and Stephen went to a collage near Dijon specialising in running farms. Katherine studied to become a riding instructor, and when the cousin believed the two were competent, handed over the farm to Stephen’s now capable hands.
Together, with Katherine’s infectious enthusiasm, and Stephen’s natural business skills, they built up a considerable fortune. Although they married at a very early age, Katherine decided she wanted to leave having children till a bit later in life, because she was so content with her life in Dijon. They learnt the language vigilantly - for it was essential for their work - and soon Katherine had many friends. Stephen, although just as competent at the language as his wife, did not make so many friends as even in his early adulthood he was a very reclusive man.
When Katherine was 28, and Stephen 30, they conceived their first child. Much to their surprise, however, it was reviled to them that they were in fact expecting twins. Katherine continued to teach riding right up until seven months into her pregnancy, and waited out the rest of her gestation by book keeping - someone had to keep a count of all the money they had.
On the 16th of December 1990, at 5:38pm, Katherine James gave birth to two healthy boys. The couple thought long and hard about names - they wanted them to be original, and not like each other - and eventually came to the decision of Irja and Ryuu. The two babies probably changed names a couple of times, but eventually Katherine decided to give each one a bracelet to identify which was which (although, as the two got older, they had great fun in tricking people into thinking one was the other).
Katherine became very motherly, and her time working decreased dramatically as she put more time into caring for the house and their two rambunctious children. It was clear from an early age that Ryuu was the more dominant, outgoing child, and Irja was the thoughtful, quieter one.
The family lived a happy, quiet life, and when the twins were nearly four years old, Katherine announced her second pregnancy. Stephen was overjoyed, and they awaited their third child eagerly. However, something went horribly wrong. Severe complications during birth caused Katherine to die of internal bleeding and haemorrhaging only a few hours after the birth of their third son, Kailie.
The death of their mother affected the twins in vastly different ways. Irja’s confidence was knocked even further, and he became much quieter and more reclusive than before. Ryuu, on the other hand, became aggressive, and took out his anger and grief on Kailie often.
The loss of his wife caused Stephen to become warped with grief. He was distant and found caring for the children on his own difficult, so hired a young maid, Mary, to help out around the house. Around the same time, he hired a new riding instructor. She was called Sarah Antoinette. Sarah had a daughter, named Claire, who was the same age as Ryuu and Irja and they would play together often. As the boys got older, they became very close to Claire, and the three were rarely seen apart.
From Ryuu’s eighth birthday, Stephen became obsessed with training his ‘oldest’ son to be the next heir of the stud farm. Ryuu’s opposition to this idea, and his strong rebellious tendencies began his downward spiral. He and his father would get in horrific fights often, and Stephen threatened to send Ryuu away to boarding school many times. Although Ryuu never really got on with his father, all three of the James boys got spoilt rotten, and he got his first drum kit for his eighth birthday.
When the twins first went to senior school - at the age of twelve - they began to realise they were different from most other boys. Irja began to have irrational feelings for 14 year old Fly Kahn. Irja was bemused by this, and hid away his gayness. Ryuu, on the other hand, revelled in his difference, and made as much of a show about it as he could. If anyone tried to push him around for it, boy would they learn they didn’t mess with Ryuu. He was a strong boy, even from a young age, and he could hold his own. He and Irja weren’t exactly best friends, but Ryuu stuck up for his shyer ‘younger’ brother because deep down he cared for his twin.
By fourteen, Ryuu was one of the most popular guys in the class, and Irja the least. The two brothers were so different, the only way you’d know they were related was the way they would bicker in the halls and the fact that they’re identical. It was now, two years after he’d first set his sights on Irja, that Fly made his move. The flamboyantly gay youngster snapped Irja up, and treated him well. Ryuu, though, took an immediate dislike to Fly, and often made it known. This was the beginning of the wedge that began to drive itself into the twin’s relationship.
Ryuu, who was already in with the popular crowd, was introduced to drugs just before his fifteenth birthday. Ryuu was excited by it, and gladly accepted the forbidden substances. This secured Ryuu’s place as most popular dude in the class. Although not particularly attracted to girls, he revelled in the attention they gave him, and he took up smoking because he thought it looked sexy. He quickly became addicted to cocaine and nicotine, and he was oblivious to the fact he was beginning to become an underachiever. He’d never been the brightest spark, but he just about managed. But as he delved further into addiction, he started missing more and more school, and putting his education in jeopardy.
By the time Ryuu and Irja turned sixteen, Ryuu had become a chronic alcoholic, cocaine snorter and smoked 20 cigarettes a day. Irja had just become aware of Ryuu’s problems, but it wasn’t until Ryuu started going out with his friends and mugging people with knives that Irja realised that Ryuu was putting other people - and himself - at serious risk.
Ryuu became a sex-a-holic around the time he got involved with knife crime, and sadly Claire became a target. All of Claire’s life, she’d been in love with Irja, but when Irja inadvertently broke her heart - by accidentally letting slip about his hidden boyfriend, Fly - and she ran to Ryuu to get revenge. Ryuu didn’t pass up the chance of a few quick fucks, but being the prat he is, he got her pregnant.
Distraught and pregnant at only sixteen, Claire started treating Ryuu like shit, and Ryuu - true to his rebellious form - refused to have anything to do with her. Ryuu, loosing his temper completely, ran away to California to stay with his uncle. He continued to underachieve at school, and his uncle generously offered to send him to Watson Academy. Ryuu obliged, and here he is today.
Just thought you guys would like to take an under-the-microscope look at Ryuu, Irja and Kailie's history. It's pretty exciting, isn't it? XD I didn't really know how to fit in Irja sucking up to Claire and helping her raise Louis, but I will some day soon x]
