They were not awful parents, but they were strict, and a force to be reckoned with, particularly together. He tried to be a good kid, to live within the rules, but he found it difficult, especially as in the beginning he was a surprisingly outgoing child. It wasn't long before his father began to take the belt to him for discipline. He was an old fashioned man who had been raised with old fashioned values, and he believed that a child had to behave as his parents deemed appropriate or unpleasant punishment would be dealt. His mother, much to Dalton's upset, agreed with the force of it, and even brought in her own form by locking Dalton in his room or even a cupboard depending on the severity of his wrong doing. Dalton grew up believing that to be normal, but he never spoke of it to anyone, and began to withdraw in on himself. He picked up boxing gloves the second he was old enough to know what they were, and began to hit the gym. As a teenager he spent hours out of the house, desperate to get away, and would often come home to the belt for being out, especially if his father had had a drink. The only thing that kept him going back was his little brother. He didn't like the thought of his dad acting the same way with his brother, who was softer and sweeter than Dalton - innocent in a way he hadn't had the chance to be. Sometimes it was unavoidable, but he tried his best to look out for him. It had to give eventually though. In the end, Dalton fell in with a crowd that some would consider the wrong type. They were not gangsters per say, but they liked to fight, and they introduced him to the world of backdoor boxing - underground fight clubs where there were no rules and the stakes were high as shit. He began to pull in money, and then a lot of it, and he was hooked. Arguments began in earnest at home. He refused to tell his parents where he was, no matter what the consequences, but as it was bound to happen, his father found out eventually who he was mixing with. Things were tense at home for some time. Dalton would not give up his friends or his new occupation, he began to argue with his brother who wanted to come with, and wouldn't accept Dalton saying no. The clincher came when he followed Dal one day, and signed himself up for a fight despite never having boxed before. They put him up against Dalton, thinking it would be one hell of a fight, and it ripped Dal's heart right out to see his brother stagger into the ring to face him. Needless to say he did not throw a single punch. He encouraged his brother to try for him, knowing how much shit they would be in for not providing a fight, but he was hopeless. Dalton lost a lot of money, and his benefactor was furious for him not taking out the kid - even more furious at Charlie, and Dalton took the wrap for him. He was kicked from the club. After that he left home. He didn't blame Charlie, he loved his brother but he couldn't live like this. He left not long after the incident, walking away from his family with the promise that his brother would work hard in school and get away, but not to follow Dalton into the shadows. Dalton spent several years working on getting back into a new underground gang and then worked hard to bring himself up to become co-leader. When he first joined, it was a nice crew of usuals and things were generally friendly, despite the blood and sweat, but over the last year things began to change. The size of the bets increased, people were staking their livelihoods on fights, putting their entire world into the ring, and Dalton found his fellow co-leader going into practices he didn't agree with. He wants to leave the life, but at the same time he doesn't want to leave those behind - trying hard to hold onto the previous values of respect they had, and to try and minimise the changing of the place for the worst. the role player alias • Yo momma age • fifty minutes other characters • could take me to the moon and back |
