Character:DeusAureum

Mark Parrish was a 21 year old during the Great Recession of the New 10's, and was living with his parents due to being unable to find a job, spending most of his time making a Homestuck fan-venture.

Both he and his parents were in a vehicle together when a semi truck coming from the opposite direction hit a patch of black ice and fell on top of their vehicle.

Post-Resurrection
Mark spent a lot of his free time in the LoVE, reading the parts of Homestuck he would have missed as they became available.

He managed to get a job working at a Uniqus store in Newton, and quickly distinguished himself as a "upwardly mobile" employee (read: screwed others over to better his own position) within the company. By the time Homestuck reruns would have concluded in 2016, he had saved up enough money to buy an avatar loosely based on the Trolls from Homestuck and the most obnoxiously expensive Virtue Uniqus ever developed... Bling Mode.

While his Homestuck fandom led to his username and avatar, deusAureum has slowly been drifting away from it, replacing his identity with one that is more "serious" and "mature" revolving around accumulating wealth.
