Background[edit]
Growing up[edit]
I grew up on Eridanus 4 with my mother, father and twin sister Unnamed. Mom and Dad had a lot of political disagreements; I tended to side with Mom while Unnamed tended more toward Dad's side. I grew up with a Stick it to The Man attitude, especially with respect to Eridanus' marriage policy.
Hanging over our heads was the fact that once we neared marriageable age, either my sister or I would be shipped off to another of the planets in the system to be paired up in an arranged marriage. We didn't know which of us would be taken, but it was frightening either way.
Starting out[edit]
When we were twelve, Unnamed was sent off to Eridanus 5. Mom and I were not happy about this, but Dad insisted that it was just the way society worked, and that we should accept it.
As another part of "just the way things work," dad got me a "work-study" job at his accounting firm. He insisted that I learn to make a living, but I was uninterested and often just never showed up. For me it was a sort of a game: how many missed days would it take to get fired? I never found out, since Dad was senior enough in the company that he was able to torture me by keeping me employed, and bored, even though I had No Work Ethic.
When I ditched work, I spent my time dodging truancy officers with some kids a bit older than me. Many of them were part of various politically active groups, and I became an active member in some of these. Mom warned me not to tell my dad about any of my political affiliations; while she was all for getting politically involved and working to change the system, he was very much not.
