Must it take a life for hateful eyes To glisten once again

Axel is a total train wreck. 12 years old: Your newly divorced father moves you from your hometown of Freiburg Im Breisgau in Germany to the States to teach linguistics as a university professor. You hated being ripped away from your mother and your life in Germany. You were bullied in elementary school and teach yourself how to mimic your peers to blend in. This includes faking your interests and dropping your German accent. 15 years old: Your German heritage was suddenly ‘cool’ once you reach high school. (Well, it came with drinking bragging rights.) You stop faking the American accent and meet people outside of the kids you went to elementary with. Your father sends you for counselling because he no longer knows what to do with you. Being given a counsellor makes you resent your father’s actions more. You feel that your dad thinks you are broken, or crazy, or something, and the counselling sessions go nowhere. You get involved with drugs in high school, too. Early 20s: By the time you are in college, and dropping out, you are running your own dealing operation. You have a huge pot grow-op which gets busted by the cops, but you walked free on a technicality. Your father is estranged now. You guys don't talk very often. But he keeps your mother in Germany updated on your doings. She dislikes the path you've chosen for yourself. Her and her new husband warn you to stay away until you clean up your act, and threaten to keep your half-sister, Karoline, from you. You resent them. You would never do anything to harm Karoline, they should know that. 39 years old: You move to New York, to see what can be done here.  It's not that Axel hates people. He actually likes people, it's just hard to get to know him because he doesn't trust easily. But if he finds you interesting, he'll make an effort to be nice. He does have a large masculine ego, though, so he tends to get along with women better than men. If you manage to make friends with him, Axel becomes fiercely loyal and protective. He is actually quite laid back. He enjoys confrontation because he likes to see how people react to different things, so he'll stir the pot just for fun, but it takes a lot to rile him up. He doesn’t try to hurt people emotionally or physically, but if he feels they deserve it he can be incredibly violent. Deserve it can be anything from 'ticked him off' to 'harassed a girl on the street' to 'got too snoopy in his business'. Axel could be labeled as some degree of asexual and is definitely aromantic. He doesn’t look for sexual relationships, but he will usually have sex if someone else suggests it. He's really good at one night stands and he doesn’t date. Every now and then he'll take a shine to someone and treat them extra special, but that's as close to 'dating' as Axel gets. He has one exception to that rule, however, as he has an on-again-off-again relationship with his sometimes business partner, Brody. Fun facts: Axel is an excellent marksman, always carries a knife, has a hand gun, and he loves cats more than people.
