brief history:
Memphis was born and bred in Hickstead to an 18-year-old Iris. Despite the father never being around and not wanting to have an abortion, Iris gave birth to Memphis a month after graduating high school. With the help of her parents and close friends, Iris was able to raise her son to the best of her abilities; picking odd end jobs to pay for his food and diapers.

At the age of 21, Iris met a young man named Matthew Hall. He promised her the world and a few months in dating; Iris became pregnant. This time, with two twin girls with Down Syndrome, Amber, and Jenna. When the twins were born, and their disability more apparent, Matthew left because he didn’t want disabled children--leaving Iris to care for her three children on her own.

Iris worked even harder now, to care for three little mouths. Memphis and his sisters on occasion would see their grandparents more than their mother.

When Iris worked, Memphis’ grandparents often took him and his sisters to the beach and marina. His grandfather was the first person to introduce him to the world of fishing and boats. Greg would show Memphis how to fish while Lauren would show the twins how to quilt.

Over the years, Memphis' honed his skills as a fisherman and boat mechanics. At the age of 13, he would begin to head out into the dark waters of the Atlantic with his grandfather when Iris permitted.

After Memphis had finished Secondary, Iris had enough money to move her and her children into their home. As much as she loved living with her parents, she wanted to give her kids a home of their own.

For most of his younger years, Memphis worked the waters of the Atlantic until the age of 28. By then, the waters of the Atlantic were low on fish. There were stricter regulations now, lowering in the income of cod and other Atlantic -based species. The hit on the fishing industry forced Memphis to become a permanent land lubber.

The past four years, Memphis has been working at the Marina, fixing boats when they need fixing. He fishes on occasion, but not enough to make a living off of it. For the most part, Memphis is often helping his mother and grandfather at the family owned bait shop if he isn't on the docks.

habits: Smokes 3-5 cigarettes a day, wakes up at 6am M-F for the most part

overall personality: Memphis is far from kind to those that aren't close to him. He has a cold air to him, especially to those who are tourists. Despite the money that tourists bring in, Memphis believes foreigners are the reason his business is losing money. Before tourism boomed, the fish were plenty. Now, he is barely scraping by with fishing and has had to pick up a job working as a boat mechanic at the marina.

Despite his coldness, Memphis can soften up to you. It will take a while but, it’s a possibility to befriend him. He has a fondness towards single parent families because he knows how hard that life can be, as well as kids who are born with Down Syndrome.
