born into an upper-middle class family, felix had most of what he needed growing up. his father was a travelling merchant and his mother made a small living out of baking. from his travels, his father would bring him home books as presents and felix would eagerly pour hours of his time into them. as a result, he isn't very physically skilled -since he doesn't get out much.

on his 13th birthday, his father returned home from his very last excursion after contracting a disease. thinking it was just a case of the common cold, felix' mother took care of her husband, but ended up with the illness as well. it was much later when they decided to call for any medical intervention, but at the time, nobody really knew what it was. doctors came to see them, several in fact, but an unfortunate coincidence made is so that the reason they even bothered was because of the money that was involved, as they were resigned to the fact that they would quickly pass on. nobody told felix this. and they were all certain that he would catch it too, as he was rather weak and barely went out. felix never caught it though, and his parents did eventually in a less than restful sleep.

this gave him the extra leverage to delve into more books and to find work at such a tender age so he could continue to purchase them. in the end he was able to pinpoint the disease, tracing it back to a remote island where small insects bit into the skin with poison. the effects were both contagious and fatal. what he'd never come to understand was how he managed to stay healthy throughout.

which was an accidental secret, so to speak --and it was something his mother never disclosed to her husband (much less her child) as she never really thought of using her magic again. not that it was particularly of bad intent that she kept it from them, just that she wasn't very good at it in the first place, so she never thought to integrate it properly into her life. the only time she'd ever use it after her marriage to felix' father was the moment she realized she caught her husband's disease. as a result, everyone who came into the house after, wouldn't contract it.

always dissastisfied and always alone, felix doesn’t like mingling with the crowd. he doesn’t like being where there are lots of people because it makes him feel uncomfortable. because of his horrible run in with doctors and near-bankrupcy, he hates going to the hospital and stubbornly, never seeks out professional medical help. but because he feels that he needs to work, he will still try to come in as much as possible. he drives people away, but is easily guilt-tripped when he sees/realizes that he might’ve hurt somebody with his actions.
