Backstory: Tragicomic. Born in 1847 in Somerset to a modest family with an unhealthy obsession with velvet, Frederick was prepared for a sensible career like law, perhaps, or banking! But from the moment he wrote a sonnet about his breakfast (titled Ode to the Eggs, Soft-Boiled and Betrayed), it was clear that fate had loftier plans and absolutely no concern for practicality.

Frederick attended the University of Cambridge, studying literature and stagecraft, where he gained notoriety for performing monologues alone in candlelit basements.

He was mocked and judged for liking men and women and for lacking body hair. Besides, he felt insecure about his penis size.

He published exactly zero poems during his lifetime, but he wrote over 700, each carefully categorized by mood, moral decay, and how much tea he’d had before writing, or rum, depends on sources.

He lived with his family, parents and a sister. In his house he has a library. He stored his poems them in a custom-built mahogany bookshelf so towering it required its own servant to dust the top tiers.

And thus came the great tragedy.

One stormy evening, while reaching for a particularly far high poem in the custom-built bookshelf, a rat passed by Frederick's feet. His lover, Ben, had warned him about the secret invasion of rats but he payed it no mind. "They're children of God, much like us!" was what he told himself to avoid thinking ill of the creatures.

Lo and behold, he stumbled on the rat and to avoid falling he held to the bookshelf with strength which resulted in it falling over him and crushing him to death. And the rat too. By his own unpublished poems. Oh, the irony.

He was found dead later that day, 12 February 1869

Death: Frederick passed away after tripping on a rat which made him grip a custom heavy bookshelf that fell on him + This occured in his mansion which made him get stuck there + The rat's spirit follows him in ghost bubble form + cursed in limbo, can see other ghost who mostly aren't sentient like him

Relationships: Margareth= his older sister, close friendship. She had told him it was a waste of time to build a custom shelve which he ignored.

Ben (1)= Bennett, his male crush, they had many sexual relations in which Frederick was the receiver. It was taboo.

Ben (2)= Benedita, his female crush, they had only oral sex.
