Backstory: Justin was born in a small town in upstate New York with a population of less than three thousand people. The closest mall was an hour away by car. The closest touring bands would get to him was Albany more than 2 hours away. He grew up poor in the classic American broken family. He was an unplanned child, a fact his parents (more often his father) would remind him of when fights got heated. Worse still, his father had a temper and was prone to physically abusing Justin. Think of Judd Nelson’s character, Bender, from “the breakfast club”. Of course, Justin responded by rebelling in they way most troubled teenagers did. Drinking, smoking, rock & roll. After a fight, he would leave the house for days at a time. It was during one of these extended periods crashing on his friend’s couches that he was walking down near the town’s train yard. A man in his 40s wearing a suit and expensive looking wool coat (the type of guy Justin would call a Yuppie, imagine Gordon Gecko From “Wall Street”) was walking a few steps behind him and while Justin was trying to mind his own business the man wanted to strike up a conversation. Justin kept trying to brush him off but eventually his temper got the best of him and, convinced the man was some kind of sex pervert trying to pick him up, Justin turned and told him off. His mistake was stopping in the shadow of a freight train where they couldn’t be seen from the street.
The man attacked Justin & bit him. Before the yuppie vampire could drain him completely, Justin managed to get out the little folding knife he always carried with him and stabbed his attacker in the neck. It was enough to surprise the vampire and Justin scrambled away. He was covered in his and the vampire’s blood and in his state of shock, Justin must have wiped his face and mouth and swallowed it. Long story short, Justin eventually figured out what had happened to him. For the second time, he was “made” by accident. With his new powers blooming, Justin decided to leave town. Let his parents think he had become a runaway or had drank himself to death or got killed. He was fairly sure they wouldn’t care. He hitchhiked across the country to San Giles, with no intention of making friends or supporting people like him. He just wanted to start living his life how he wanted and the big city was where you did that. He doesn’t know what happened to the vampire who attacked him or wether he knows if Justin even survived, and he says he doesn’t really care.
