Biography: Justin was born into a very poor family. His mother worked as a whore so they could eat and loved Justin very much while his dad was an alcoholic deadbeat who did nothing but watch the T.V and beat Justin and his mother. On numerous occasions, his dad would bring out a pistol and threaten to shoot the both of them. When Justin turned six, they hadn't the money to send him off to school. The beatings grew more frequent until one night when his father passed out drunk. Justin had seized this opportunity and stabbed his father in the throat while he slept.
After that, his mother got one of her friends to dispose of the body. The years of abuse and murder of his father had left Justin both physically and mentally scarred. He became mute for three years. His mother got a job at a grocery store and slowly but surely, there life began to rise out of the crap pile it had been laying in. After Justin began to talk once more, his mother was finally able to send him off to school. With his natural likeability, he made lots of friends and for once was happy in life. Something he had never felt while his father was alive. For five years after the incident, his family lived in peace. That is until his mother became severely ill and passed away, leaving a twelve year-old Justin alone with no money or food.
The landlord, a fat, putrid, beast of a man who had often used his mother's 'services' when she had sold her body, had never liked Justin and was almost eager to throw him out in the street when he couldn't pay the rent. All of his belongings were repossessed except the clothes on his back and the boy was sent to live in the streets. For six months, Justin slept under an old tree in Central Park and was given food by his mother's old co-workers. He had stopped going to school, he hadn't the money to pay for it, and wished for death.
One day however, he met a kind old man named Arthur. Arthur found Justin's quick thinking to his liking and offered to allow Justin to stay with him. Justin agreed reluctantly, anything was better then sleeping under a tree in disgusting clothes. It turned out that Arthur was quite rich, living in a mansion, and his wife had died ten years ago. Justin grew quite fond of the old man, eventually filling in for the father he had never had. At the age of 15, three years after he had been thrown out of his house, Arthur died of lung cancer. With a little help from his brother, Roman, the families main butler, Nicoli, was able to worm his way into the will and inherit all of Arthur's money. He quickly threw out Justin because he was “An unnecessary cost”. Justin was stuck in the middle of new york again, homeless.
This time however, Justin would not just lay down and die. Using the little money he had saved up, he bought a pack of lock-picks from kids at his school's metal shop and pulled his first heist. He stole fifteen thousand dollars from the safe inside his old house for food expenses and one thousand more for other tools. Soon enough, thieving became a routine for Justin. Pick his way into a house, take stuff and leave. It was simple really. After two years, he had become one of the most renowned thief’s in the city, His red cloak became his symbol, leaving a little card on the table of whoever he stole from. He knew almost everyone in the city and, unfortunately, befriended about 70% of them.
Justin's success was not granted solely for his acrobatics and silent movement. His real skills came in the form of a unique gift that seemed to develop instantly one night. He was able to sense people through the earth or stone or even metal! He could tell if they were walking or standing and even what direction they were going in. It was like having a sixth sense. Justin took this new ability in stride, using it to it's fullest capabilities. He's now as used to using it as he is using his other senses. He also found that he could manipulate stone and earth to his will, though the most he's done is create pillars and holes to escape capture. These manipulations tend to move back into their regular position faster the farther away Justin is. Justin was shocked when he found these new found powers, thinking of them as superpowers. When experimenting with his lock-picks, he found that metal was just as easy to control as stone or dirt. Utilizing this, Justin made himself a pair of daggers to complete his thief costume.
