Stormie was born and raised in east Houston, where he grew up in a family of heroin users. When his father lost his job due to failing a randomized drug test, he grew angry and very unstable. Having no way to pay for his fixes, and no urge to break the addiction, he started forcing his son to dress in feminine clothing, after which he would savagely beat Stormie until he was too weak to resist. He would then throw Stormie in the back of his car and drive to his dealer, a small time drug and gunner runner named Big Smoke. Big Smoke would pimp Stormie out, giving Stormie's father a large sack of "mexican brown" in return. After three years of this, and on his eighteenth birthday, Stormie ran. He hitchhiked his way across Louisiana until he found himself dropped off in the worn down, broken city of Hathian. When Stormie jumped down from the passenger side of the rig that had carried him the last stretch of his journey *blushing bright red with embaressment and shame because of what the trucker, Mike, had made him do*, His visions of grandeur and salvation were crushed. He'd jumped out the pan and ino the fire.
