Here are the words for our next character:

small penis as well
Sleepy
Deaf

REROLLED:
Starving
Nerd
Nothing

Using these three words as a prompt, come up with a backstory fitting for a Killing Game character. What are they like? Where are they from? What kind of things do they do? What experiences have they had?

If you do not wish to contribute a full backstory you can just give pieces and we can collectively build up the character together.

Angie Yonaga
Nerd who spends all his time focusing on video games. Every second of every day. As a result, he considers Nothing else to be relevant to his life, and he's Starving because he's so hyperfixated that he forgets to eat on a regular basis.

Hearts
As a result of growing up in a destitute household and being home schooled all their life, Character 3 is perpetually starving and knows nothing of the world beyond the nerdy hobbies they've acquired through the use of their ancient home computer. They're more than a little graceless and naive, but ultimately well-meaning and curious about the world. They have a bad habit of putting anything that looks remotely edible in their mouth.

Elyk
This character is a man in his late 20s. He is a second generation Russian immigrant. His parents moved to the country leaving behind everything and starting with nothing, chasing the American dream. His parents were very strict and overbearing. They kept him home schooled. Between being an only child and being barred from meeting other children he lived a lonely childhood. His only companion was an old home PC that his parents had picked up for cheap during a garage sale. Without Internet connection or any new games he settled for replaying the same few RTS games that had come preinstalled on the computer.

His parent's business struggled to produce much income during the majority of his childhood. As a result he often went to bed hungry. Many times he would find himself unconsciously gnawing on random items such as paper or pieces of wood just to satisfy the urge to eat. It was not until he reached his late teens that his parent's business began to produce a reasonable income.

With his parent's newfound wealth, he was able to enroll in a prestigious university. He rented out a nearby apartment and started his new life. It wasn't long before he found himself unable to keep up with the amount of work that was required of the strict program. The freedom and lack of supervision gave rise to a massive gaming addiction. He spends most of his time in free to play MOBAs. When a game is going poorly he is quick to get upset. He flunked out of university after just a year. His parents are unaware.

Almost ten years later, he is still keeping up the ruse. His parents send him money each month as allowance. He lives in a small desolate apartment with just the necessities: a gaming PC, a desk, and a chair. Due to his thrifty upbringing he manages to get by. He keeps food purchases to a minimum, often just buying vodka and cheap snacks which he forgets to consume thanks to his intense gaming sessions. He still has his old habit of gnawing on random objects. Other than to buy food, he almost never leaves his apartment.

When not playing MOBAs, he unwinds by doing research on random things. He has a vast wealth of knowledge and trivia gained from reading various Wikipedia articles. He particularly likes comic book superheroes. Despite never owning or reading any of the original works, he is very familiar with the franchises from reading fan wikis.
