On the outskirts of a small town in southern Alberta Canada lived the Parrish family. The property was nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains along the border of British Columbia and the family had lived there for several generations. Running a beef and dairy farm had been the family business forever. Over the generations some of the children and grandchildren had started small businesses on the side such as breeding cutting horses and other small ranch endeavors. The farm was always busy and always full of family and guests that it was sometimes so easy for the Parrishs to pretend they were completely normal. But the reality was that they weren’t, at least not all of them.

Scott's parents met when his father travelled to South Africa for a college trip. His father, despite being expected to come and run the family business at the farm, had decided he was going to get a college education and went to school for business. The trip to South Africa was amazing. He met and helped so many people down there and saw so many things. It was an experience he was eternally grateful for. The thing he was most thankful for, however, was meeting Scott’s mother. She was everything a man could ever want in a woman and despite her best efforts to push him away, they quickly fell in love. He brought her back to Canada with him once his time in Africa was done. They were married not long afterwards and it was on their honeymoon that she revealed what she was.

She explained to her husband about Initia and what they were. She showed him her abilities with fire and informed him because of what she was she had a prolonged life expectancy. Taking everything in stride they worked with it and it soon became no big deal for her to use her gifts around the entire family. When they found out she was pregnant with a child everyone was so happy and supportive. Scott was born on August 17, 1987 at the family farm and he was immediately spoiled and loved by his entire family.

Scott had a normal childhood. His mother stayed home to raise him while his father would head out for a day on the range checking cattle and the sort. At the age of five he was sent to school where he was a star student. He joined the school hockey team when he was able to and played hockey straight through until graduation. He received several small scholarships when he graduated and used them to attend the local college and take business like his father. He wanted to make sure he would always be able to run the farm and family business the best way possible to keep it afloat.

At the age of 7 it became evident that Scott had inherited his mother’s Initia abilities but as a lone Intia, she had chosen to set that life aside in the name of living a human life, she never studied under a master and therefore never really excelled in her elemental control. Scott was raised the same way, told to be careful of his water controlling abilities and not to accidentally soak the other kids at school but that was about all he knew of the person he was and the life he was supposed to lead. And he was okay with that, okay with being a normal kid on a normal ranch.

Scott was always a kind person, warm and caring he made friends easily. He had been dating a girl since highschool when she tragically passed away in a car accident. After that, the now 17 year old devoted himself to work on the farm and spending time with his aging grandparents and mother and father. His mother had been growing more and more distant with his father, fights breaking out more often than not and his father usually sleeping on the couch in the family room rather than with his wife. Finally, one day, she took her son aside and revealed she was going back to South Africa. It was hard for him to accept that his parents were splitting up but he hated seeing them miserable and he’d never get in the way of letting his mother seek the happiness she wanted.

His father didn’t take the news quite as well though, becoming cold and distant, neglecting the farm and Scott grew more quiet during the time they worked on the farm and when the day was done often headed straight back to his room where he tried to decide if this was really what he wanted to do with his life. Part of him felt an obligation to stay and be there for his father, to take care of the very ranch he had been raised on but another part of him couldn’t stay and watch the life he had completely fall apart before his eyes. It was then that he decided he needed to get away and travel, just do something to help him clear his head and figure out what he wanted to do.

Heading down south, Scott made his way through the United States until he ended up in South Carolina. It was there that he felt himself drawn to a group of people, he didn’t really know why but figuring since the little village he was staying in was the kind where everyone knew everyone, he approached them and introduced himself. It didn’t take long for him to figure out why he was so drawn to them. They were Initia like him, the genes inside him crying out for the chance for his potential to be tapped. After learning more about what he was he was given the gift of his initiation ceremonies which should have taken place on his 12th and 18th birthday, finally claiming his element and allowing him to control it and also allowing him to learn others if he so wished. Unfortunately for him the tribe were just passing through and before he had the chance to ask to join them, they had packed up and left.

Unsure what to do next, Scott returned home after being gone and asked for his father’s help. The pair did their research, asked around, and tried to see what they could find. Soon enough word reached them of a town in Colorado, Evermore. Supposedly many supernatural species called the city their home, including a faction of powerful Initia. Scott hoped he could go there and seek out their help to learn his elements and understand the very species he was. He finally felt like he had some direction in his life. A place to go.

Arriving in Evermore, he had nearly nothing to his name but he was ready to start his life over, he found his way to the local ranches out near the base of the mountains and applied for a stable hand role which thanks to his experience was offered to him almost immediately. Job? Check. Next came the other important part, meeting Initia tribe of Evermore city.
