The Killer: Phineas Fredrickson was born to be known for one thing, a monster. A heartless, soulless, and cruel form of evil that should be put down, a grinning demon sent from hell. However that was just rumors, in reality Phineas was a kind, sweet and loving boy. He just never seemed to have made friends and they would scream in fear at the sight of him, he was born with a deformity that cause his face to appear as though he was constantly smiling. He lived in Proxtons orphanage in Chicago, Illinois where he was left and abandoned by his real family who gave him away because of his deformity. Mrs. Princeton the owner kept him under her wing for many years all the way up to high school, however the constant bullying persisted by Tommy , another one of the orphans that lived in the orphanage. HE would often corner Phineas in ally ways knocked of his feet and be forced to give up money he made from crafting and selling toys, do their homework, and even work for them, if he didn't abliged he would've received a more painful approach. On long nights he would constantly wake to the voices of his tormentors mocking him, cutting into him, eventually driving him to want to grab a a hammer and smash their heads against the floor, cut open their stomachs and stitch their mouths up so he didn't have to hear their voices, their laughter. These thoughts ran through his head he found great delight in them yet great sorrow, he didn't want to do this he couldn't he found joy in exerting his pain but at the cost of human life, was something not worth taking. However the bullying continued until he decided to pull a prank on them that would give Phineas what he wanted. He crafted a jack in a box trap and crafted it so that it would send event he bravest man to their knees. He waited for Tommy in the cafeteria of the orphanage to enact his revenge as Tommy came by to sit and eat the dinner provided Phineas sprung the trap, Tommy screeched at the scare and caused him to spill all of the contents of the tray onto him. An uproar of laughter roared through out the building as Tommy sat in embarrassment, and anger that some one would pull such a dirty trick on him. Phineas's laughter was masked through out the crowd, he cherished that moment. Later that night as Phineas was preparing to head to his room, a powerful force yanked his hair back, it was Tommy. Phineas's little prank didn't go unnoticed so he was thrown outside, with a base ball bat. Tommy whacked him in the stomach, and continued. Suddenly Tommy unsheathed a knife and ran across Phineas's mouth, across his deformed grin, opening the mouth he squirmed and shook to get the huge teen off him but nothing worked. Now everyone will know your a freak now he yelled as the laughter and beating continued. Suddenly within Phineas a grand spark of hatred boiled, blood lust consumed him. HE got up grabbed and Tommy's bat and yanked the it outta of the boys hand and then with a powerful strike he landed at Tommy across the head , Tommy bleed and Phineas's strikes hastened, bam, bam, bam, and soon a sickening crack that caused Tommy head to pop with blood. All at once Phineas's rage died he turned from it he looked down at the boy and saw to his horror that he popped the boys head open. Horrified Phineas threw his body inside a dumpster and turned tale from the orphanage, never looking back. After a few rough days with little food Phineas almost wanted to go back to orphanage even though he would face prosecution, he would go anywhere as long as he got a place to eat and sleep. When all seemed lost a traveling circus called Louis's show of great curiosities and wonders saved Phineas. He immediately was introduced to Luis Clarkston, the ringmaster. Luis welcomed Phineas with open arms and was happy he knew there was someone with such a grand oddity willing to represent the show. Phineas was introduced to the freaks, Flora the bearded lady, James the strong man, Finnegan the hunchback, Heather the pale girl, and Jeffery Hawk, the man who worked the ropes. Eventually Phineas felt more at home, then he ever did back at the orphanage. He adorned costume far and wide from large overalls bigger that even him, to a colorful ringmaster coat in which he liked the most. He was taught how to do trapeze, and be flexible around the big top tent. Overtime Phineas felt like it was a dream come true. But when the show was on he walked out and showed his talents everything went well, but then he slipped on a rope and fell turning from a large crowd of laughter to a crowd of boos and hisses, initially this angered Luis and he dragged Phineas out and screamed and yelled at him, what were you thinkin' boy, why did you slip? No response came and Luis grabbed and shook Phineas and told him to stay outta line for a while. He did so, but felt like crying. Over the next ten years he stayed with the circus, he grown quite fond of the man Jeffery Hawk and the other freaks, but Luis's crazed desire for fame drove the man to be more rash and heartless than before, and his punishments became more severe. He began depriving less food, and far less better treatment to mistakes. Phineas became thinner and thinner than before, once he was a big and strong boy, now a man deprived of food, sleep and strength. He would even need a cane to help him walk around in which would've been grabbed or stolen. Phineas face became more distorted so much so that he had to craft a mask to cover up his scars he received ten years ago, he wears it in the public to grab a bite at a resturaunt. One day before going onto perform he found one of the costumes missing it was a ringmaster suit. One of many of Luis's. It didn't phase through Phineas's mind, soon he heard that Luis was opening a grand theme park for the circus through this he finally thought his fame would be finally achieved. Through the time Phineas spent he grown to fall in love with Heather for she made him feel special, so much so that they shared their first kiss, by night the two bonded in great love but in day they hid it from the spotlight. On the day of the grand opening of the park, it was wondrous and beautiful all came to ride the rides and enjoy the games, but above all watch the freakshow. When Phineas peformed everyone awed at him he was about to pull a grand trick with one of the animals when a god awful screech filled the tent, a bloodied woman came running through screaming and crying. Phineas ran to her and calmed her down she spoke of a clown who tried to cut off one of her fingers. She pointed where and Phineas saw a colorful caravan retreating away in the night, he knew who that caravan belonged to, Jeffery Hawk betrayed Phineas screamed in anger cursing the man he called a friend. When day came by Luis was in such anger he grabbed Heather and smacked her, screaming that she didn't know about the murders. Phineas with fury charged in to stop the fight. Luis suprised by Phineas's attempt grabbed the man and chained him down and took a whip and lashed at his back the lashes cutting deep into his skin. Phineas blacked out, and awoken to be still chained but no one around not even his friends. Luis came and laughed aloud being a drunk as usual he boasted of how he sold the freaks to a government doctor named Herman Carter, he didn't care what happened it helped him pay off the money he owed due to Jeffery. Heather was gone, his love gone, the only person that made him feel special stolen from him. Phineas's eyes burned as he cried knowing that Heather would no longer be with him, the tears stained his mask, the salty taste of tears filled his mouth. Suddenly a great rage a spark of hate that he hadn't felt since Tommy reignited hotter than before he growled like an animal, they deserved death, all of those who are considered normal, who have regular lives and very little worry how people would think of them if they would scream in terror or laugh at him. Phineas came up with a plan to get his revenge,he unscrewed the chain from the floor boards making him bleed, for what felt like hours soon he broke free breaking the rusty chains and grabbed his cane. Still drunk Luis laughed on, Phineas charged at him with cane and smacked against the mans stomach and repeated. Soon Phineas with nails sharp as spears plunged into Luis neck and yanked his lung cords out blood splattering on Phineas face, he enjoyed it. He cut off Phineas's head with his own knife, skinned it and applied it so it was a club upon the cane. Now satisfied he addorned the cane with the man who tortured him all those years. Soon Phineas grabbed a whip and lashed out onto the animals, driving them into a frenzy he was almost caught in he watched as they tore out and destroyed the very park that took years to build. He watched and laughed as he saw the crows of people get maned and crushed. Phineas stared down at a woman with a child they tried to get away but were crushed by an elephant. To Phineas's horror it was Mrs. Princeton the woman that cared for him all those years ago. Phineas now realizing what he had done was horrified he didn't mean for this, but he knows he did, Phineas cried out screaming that the rumors told of so long ago were true he was a monster, he took the life of innocent people when he truly wished to see them in the same pain he was. Suddenly a black fog swirled around him he entered a world where his mind was split into one hell bent on killing the other to make people laugh. It destroyed him and suddenly he knew no more.
Conclusion: This is argueably one of the toughest sotry I've ever written for a single character, do not worry survivor fans Hope Jefferson is still in the works. I don't think I'll write a piece of lore this long for quite a while. But if you did enjoy this let me know, and if you did shed at least one tear I too would like to know. This has been an amazing honor to present this piece of work to you guys, it means a lot to me. Thanks for reading and I will see you in the fog.

One final note I wish to talk about this was an inspiration I had while watching AHS Freakshow. And I sat there and wondered why don't we have a killer in the game who is a freak, who has suffered this much so thats how the idea hit me.
