Backstory

• Emerson was born in a cramped underground rat demihuman colony beneath New York City, hidden in abandoned maintenance tunnels connected to the subway system. The colony functioned like a tightly knit survival group where everyone was expected to contribute, socialize constantly, and follow strict unspoken hierarchies
• As a child, Emerson spent most of his time wandering old subway tunnels instead of socializing with others his age. He memorized train schedules, station layouts, old graffiti tags, and hidden maintenance paths
• Emerson became useful because could navigate tunnels faster than anyone, squeeze into impossible places, and remember tiny details others overlooked. Older members of the colony often used him to retrieve lost items, scout areas, or sneak through tight spaces. He was treated more like a tool than a member
• As he got older, the colony became less patient with him. Emerson missed social cues, accidentally offended higher-ranking members, and avoided gatherings because they overwhelmed him. Rumours spread that he wasn’t good for the colony. Some colony members accused him of being lazy because he struggled with burnout and panic episodes that left him unable to function for days
• the final breaking point happened after Emerson panicked during a conflict within the colony. When yelled at by several members, he completely shut down and fled, accidentally revealing the location of one of the colony’s hidden storage routes in the process. This caused several members to die due to rat poison and being sought out by exterminators. Emerson was exiled from the colony
• Emerson spent months surviving alone in subway tunnels, abandoned buildings, laundromats, and apartment basements. He stole food where he could, slept in vents or crawlspaces, and avoided both humans and demihumans whenever possible
