PERSONALITY:
Trigger takes life as it comes, he doesn’t believe in worrying about tomorrow when you’ve got all of today to be happy. On saying that, Trigger is also very easily upset. He takes things quite personally and it is one of his greatest weaknesses. He never knows when to stop, he tends to talk a lot and to laugh at things that aren't very funny. Although Trigger is very silly at times he is actually very intelligent and artistic. He loves to draw and create but he often pretends otherwise. He doesn't want to be renowned for his talents because he feels he isn't good enough. Which brings me onto one of Trigger's main characteristics - Trigger is very insecure, he finds it very difficult to deal with his insecurities and it's impossible for him to talk about them.

Trigger is incredibly thoughtful, he seems to get lost in his thoughts a lot and he often thinks aloud. His thoughtfulness makes him considerate; he usually puts himself in the other person’s shoes before he says anything. Trigger will be nice to people he doesn't like, just because he feels that if they were the one that didn't like him wouldn't want them to be nasty to him. However this all changes when it comes to romance. Trigger won't let anything get in the way of passion - not feelings of others or anything of the sort. It's not that he doesn't care about the other person it's just that he likes the passion more than the relationship and that makes him not good at being faithful. He believes that a relationship is nothing without passion.

Despite being thoughtful, Trigger also manages to be excruciatingly outspoken, sometimes the things he says just makes you cringe. He never knows when to shut up. He is probably not the sort of person you'd want to tell a secret to, he doesn't intentionally tell people your secret, he just doesn't think about it. However Trigger tries his very hardest not to hurt other people with what he says, he finds this rather difficult but he is becoming quite good at stopping before he hurts someone. Trigger is very affectionate, if you're his friend an arm around your waist or an arm draped around your shoulders is only normal and if you don't like it you better make it known to him quick so he doesn't think that you don't like him anymore.
PAST:
Trigger was born in Hollywood on the 12th of March 1991 during the early hours of a rainy Tuesday morning. It was just like every other Tuesday, but for sixteen-year-old Kendra Cooper it was the start of a major problem. Kendra had been her school's most sought after virgin and Jason Shotner - they boy who successfully stole her heart and virginity - was about to run off and leave her with a baby. Jason had told her that their "wedding" was off only a month before the baby was due and this had resulted in many fights and eventually with them not speaking. But here Jason was, standing beside Kendra's bed, sweeping the hair off her sticky forehead with a gentle, affection touch that still made Kendra smile. They chose Triggers first name together and Kendra agreed on using Jason's surname. So the baby boy was named Timothy Shotner.

By the time Trigger was five, Kendra had forgiven Jason for running off and she found herself still very much in love with him. However, she masked this and made sure than no one would ever know. She ensured never to see him because she knew that she would want him to take her back. But now Kendra had a new man, to 29-year-old Geoff Campbell who already had an 8-year-old daughter named Tasha. Geoff hated Trigger, Trigger was a real threat to the happiness of Kendra and Geoffs relationship. But in reality, Trigger posed very little threat and within a year of the relationship beginning, Kendra and Geoff were married. Trigger didn't get on well with his new half sibling, Tasha, they were constantly fighting and they often were the subject of their parents arguments.

Trigger didn't have any contact with his biological father so Geoff was his only role model and Geoff was definitely not the sort of role model that Trigger needed/wanted. Geoff was cruel and selfish and he was a womaniser, the only real reasons he married Kendra was because she was young and beautiful and he needed someone to look after his daughter. Kendra, once again, had been taken in on the pretence that a boy loved her for the genuine, romantic reason of love. And it crushed Triggers five-year-old heart to see his mother in love with such a jerk. He was very thoughtful and intelligent even then, he always could observe things that were going on and identify people's feelings quite accurately.

Trigger wasn't all impressed with Geoff and Tasha and he made it his mission to avoid them and concentrate his affection on his mother. This wasn't easy to do because now Kendra was working as a shop assistant during the day and taking a course at night - so Trigger rarely saw her. By the time he was eight, Trigger was basically alone in the world, he didn't have any friends, his mother was never around and he didn't know his dad. And things only got worse. When Trigger was ten, on a beautiful September morning Jason Shotner made his way into the World Trade Centre. He was going to work and he was late, as usual. It just happened to be the 9th, and it just happened to be the day that the planes flew into the Twin Towers. Kendra was distraught when she heard the news, she cried for days and then she knew in the pit of her stomach that she had loved Jason more than anyone in the world. Trigger was upset that his father was dead, but he hadn't known him so the grief was more for the state of his mother than for his father. Geoff, however, was relieved because Jason had been a threat to Geoff and Kendra’s marriage.

Five years later, Trigger found his first set of friends, and that was when they dubbed him Trigger because they connected his surname "Shotner" with a gun shot. Trigger was happier than he'd ever been but Kendra was worried about him. Trigger had been introduced to a world of sex, drugs, alcohol and violence and she was terrified she would loose her little boy to these things. But Trigger's affection towards his mother never changed, he always loved her. However, Trigger's feelings towards Geoff and Tasha only got more violent and more hateful, he loathed the pair of them and he made sure they knew it. He was always fighting with Tasha and he was violent towards Geoff. The violence was usually brought on by arguments about the treatment of his mother.

Two months after Triggers sixteenth birthday, Kendra was going out with some of her friends. She promised Trigger she wouldn’t drink any alcohol. And she didn’t, she felt like she owed him for all the times he'd stuck up for her. Kendra had a great time, only drinking soda and talking to her friends. She was driving home and was only a block from her house when she was involved in a head on collision. She was killed instantly. The other driver was drunk. Trigger's soul was torn in two when the news got to him, he'd collapsed onto the floor and screamed and sobbed, pounding the ground with his fists. He couldn't express his feeling of loss with words. He suddenly understood how his mother had felt when Jason had died.

Geoff was mortified, he was genuinely upset as well. But mostly, Geoff blamed Trigger for this. "If you hadn't been putting the ideas in her head that she needed to have some time for herself she never would have gone out and this never would have happened." Geoff had screamed at Trigger. The two of them had gotten into a fist fight which resulted in Trigger lying unconscious across the kitchen floor with a nasty gash across his forehead from where Geoff had bashed his head off the counter. The next morning Trigger took permanent marker and scrawled across every available surface in the house "fuck you" and then he left, because he knew that there was nothing left for him. He wandered for a few months and eventually found himself in Callabral where he found the Carnem Youth Hostel.
