Other: "Boston" Eileen Quinn was born Aidan Eileen (his mother's name)
Quinn, in Boston, MA, of the US. His mother was an Irish
immigrant, and father of Irish and German descent, though born and
raised in the States. He was a hellraiser from day one, bringing
trouble wherever he ended up. Even being raised very much aware
of his race and the threats toward it didn't stop him from
wreaking havoc and thoroughly antagonizing anyone within a five
mile radius, which ultimately cost him more than once and left him
with a semi-bobbed tail.
It wasn't long before things went even more horribly wrong and he
ended up in the slave market and, not surprisingly, shipped off to
the auctions.
He only spent eight months in slavery, handed off from one house
to the next as he proved to be a nuiscance and a handful. Along
the way he picked up skills like lock picking and successfully
escaping two-story houses without nearly killing himself every
single time. Once on the streets he made a couple close friends
and deemed himself a stray, promptly taking to the lifestyle and
its many pros and cons, though, needless to say, not without a few
bumps here and there.
He no longer gives out his real name, gradually easing out of the
memory of his old home and family, but retaining where he came
from in what he calls himself by now.
