► Background

Life has never been very kind to Paul. From an early age he needed to learn how to survive on the streets after his parents thought Paul wasn't performing up to their standards and cast him away, with his only true "friends" being his two daggers he has always had with him. His first friend, or so he thought, was Kane. Someone who would go on to abandon him and discard him as well like the trash Paul knew himself to be. All his life, Paul was made out to be the laughing stock. His name, for reasons unknown to him, was found to be funny. His unfortunate situation as a street living person was found to be funny by those he encountered. Nobody ever cared to really take him seriously at all.

Paul would often sit under piles of trash at night to keep warm, thinking about how Kane would tell him often about how the world was a cruel place. That if you weren't willing to be strong, there was no point in existing, as the strong use the weak to feed. The notion scared Paul, knowing that he wasn't taken seriously by anyone, he felt very much at the bottom of the food chain. Constantly spending every moment looking over his shoulder and never truly being able to relax. All that time he truly thought Kane was telling him these things as a friend, but instead, he was just a means to an end. Paul just couldn't take it anymore.

In a bid to be taken more seriously, Paul would seek the help of a local mafia group. He would be interviewed, and after a brief conversation, the men sitting around the table stood up, and the group's leader running the interview asked him. "Point to the person at this table you believe to be the strongest". His eyes would dart around the room, each of the men standing before him looked quite formidable. But then, Paul would do the unthinkable. He would take out one of his daggers, set it down on the table and spin it. After letting it spin for a couple seconds, Paul would use his other dagger and stop the spinning dagger from doing so, resulting in it pointing directly at Paul himself. "Me."

All of Paul's bones were broken and he was left in the back alleyway of the small building where the group convened. Eventually he would pass out from the shock of every single one of them striking him all at once for at least three hours from what he could recall. He would awaken in a hospital bed. As he opened his eyes he would see a man who looked even stronger than the others. But this man seemed far different than those he saw at the table, like he was on another level entirely, and introduced himself by the name of Richter. He would say that he was in luck, because Paul was found by a "caring individual", Paul would have his entire hospital stay and recovery paid for by said individual. So long as he agreed to be of service to them whenever it was needed. Paul wasn't sure about this agreement but felt he had no choice seeing as he had no money to speak of. He would however ask who this mystery person was that was helping him and asking for his help in return. The man would turn to leave and mutter one word. Don.

Upon Paul's recovery, he would be tasked with registering for an upcoming battle arena. Paul wasn't sure what any of this had to do with helping him. But he once more felt he had no other choice. He would then register himself to fight in the Arena, utilizing his two daggers, coated with poison. Paul utilizes these daggers to great effect, and what he lacks in range, he makes up for in having his weapons on either side of him. While the damage output isn't the strongest, Paul is able to string together multiple hits quite quickly and he has a chance to even stack poison on his opponent for extra damage per second. Eventually however, his luck would turn around and he was sought out by the competitor Dooey, who saw potential in him. The two would go on to be eliminated from play off contention in Season 3, under the team name, Noxious Oscillation. Shortly after elimination, the pair would split, and Paul found himself suddenly completely alone again, and without anyone to make a team with going into the 4th Season. With such little time left to register, Paul was about to give up hope, when two late arrivals just so happened to show up at just the perfect time to where the three could form a last minute team and register for the Season 4 Boss Gauntlet just in time. He feels more confident than ever that success will now come his way under his new found team, Toxic Firewall.
