History/Pre-Shady
Childhood
Although the conception of Slim Shady is unknown, he was likely created by Marshall sometime in his early childhood as a way to release his anger and rage on his mom and those around him who abused him, seeing as Marshall was unequipped to handle the situations on his own. As a result Shady is ruthless and wildly archaic.
Teenage Years
Shady first appeared to Marshall as a tangible figure once the two entered into high school. In High school, Shady finally became good friends with him. Although at first opposing, the two eventually bonded over their shared experience of childhood abuse and trauma. Since then Shady pledged to watch over Marshall and keep him safe from any bullies who would get in his way. Besides Marshall, Shady's "Just Don't Give a Fuck" attitude landed him quite the following and a good number of other high school friends, including a drug dealer named Dave and fellow delinquent Kimberly Scott.
Eventually he had his life changed forever after one fateful night at a house party Dave hosted. While at the house party Shady attempted to seduce an older woman, Susan by doing psychedelics with her. Unfortunately, due to her ignorance Susan ended up taking an absurd amount. In an attempt to save her life, Shady handcuffed himself to her as she tried to find out how to reverse its effects. After eventually tracking down the dealer that gave it to his friend, Dave, Blondie Black, Shady attempts to get him to hand over an anecdote. Refusing and feeling disrespected, Blondie Black sent a horde of men after the two. After tearing their way through the gang, Shady and Susan chase Blondie Black down until he eventually was accidentally hit by Marshall in another person's car. Furious, and confused from the trauma of being hit Blondie prepared to shoot Marshall confusing him and Shady. Luckily, for him Shady happened to be in the area and jumped in, taking the bullet for Marshall and saving him from the impact. After Blondie's death at the hands of Susan, the group is found by a young gangbanger, sent to kill the man, Royce Da 5' 9". Royce suggests that the three become independent gangbangers like him and that if they're interested he could connect them with some of his friends.
