Brief Background: When someone heard the name "Pine" it was quickly associated with the great man (and actor) Robert Pine. If people weren't familiar with the big screen, then the name was then more likely to be associated with the doctor, Gwynne Pine, a local hero. If you were nothing more than a regular nobody, or a stellar somebody (who knew the family intimately), then maybe upon hearing the name "Pine" you might be more inclined to be plagued with the thought of Chris, the bad seed from great genes.

They were a part of a quiet, sleepy town. Originality their townhouse had been intended to be an escape from fame back west in California. Which wasn't exactly the whole story. It started with Chris. Growing up the son of a celebrated actor and a dedicated doctor, life was far from easy. Neither parent was around much to offer Chris the luxuries of a regular childhood so oftentimes he was left to figure it out alone. At the age of 8, he was expelled from a Private Academy for starting fights constantly with other kids and numerous cases of stealing. He grew up the best way he knew how. He always had that silver spoon in his mouth, so taking things for what they were came like breathing to him. At first, it was just taking an eraser home from school but later became active stealing. At 12, he stole his mom's keys and took her car for a joyride, ending with him in the hospital after he rammed the car into a tree. With such scandal plaguing the good Pine name, his father decided they should move farther away from the spotlight (and the paparazzi), prompting their move to a smaller town in the east.

As Chris got older, however, he learned to be sneakier in his craft (although not willingly), and was later diagnosed with kleptomania by a coworker of his mom's. Distressed with his problems, Gwynne took time off her job to pay him more attention which resulted in a huge rebellious streak in Chris. He took to drinking, and was always willing to try anything for the first time. Never before had either of his parents paid him so much attention and in a way, it pissed him off that his mother thought a few weeks of attention would make up for the years he had grown without their influence. The new rules she applied on the household (in order to "help" him and set boundaries) only helped to enforce his resentment towards her and his father for trying to be the parents they never were. His rebellion knew no bounds.

It culminated in a huge party thrown just for his friends once he got his parents out of the house. His dad was filming (as usual) and his mom had finally returned to work and was away for a convention. He had earlier stolen the key to his father's wine rack and had managed to get his hands on booze with his father's money. The party was a success, if Chris ever knew such a thing. He had people in his house he had never met and once morning rose, the house was trashed. The maid was distressed and nearly fainted, finding him face down on the steps of the stairs, drunk out of his mind. He was taken to the hospital with minor alcohol poisoning and the rest is history.

Outraged with his behavior, his father thought it was time for some reflection and order (and against his mother's wishes), he was sent to St. David's for a taste of religious discipline.

Brief Personality: He's the golden child. At the wrong place and the wrong time. Born to any other parents, at any other time, he would've been the nicest boy, hard-working, intelligent, funny, well-mannered, good-natured. He was all those things now, but they were skewed to such an extent they seemed to be something else. He wasn't intelligent, he was smart-mouthed. He wasn't funny, he was sarcastic, he was crude, he was brash, he was cocky. He was not well-mannered, he was patronizing, condescending, and he was not good-natured. He was sly. He was a sly fox in the clothing of a good boy. And he was never truly nice, he was just interested in getting what he wanted and if he had to be nice to you so get it, then ohh-- how know nice Chris was! How nice and how charming!

But Chris means well. Despite most things or most of his actions or most of the rumors, he usually means well. He just doesn't know how to translate good heart into good actions, and that's usually what gets him into trouble. He's a good kid with a good heart and he might steal your favorite glasses or call you a fucktard when he's drunk but it's only because he secretly thinks those glasses are hot and that you're not so intelligent.

With an easy temperament, he is hard to anger and is usually a bright, perky ball of jaded happiness. He may come off as a snob but at the end of the day, he is plagued with good heart. But then again, we all have good intentions, don't we?
