This is a similar little story to the latest one I posted, but this is Mugmutt focused as when I chatted with my last one, I got an idea I wanted to share!

Boris never really grew up with a family... Well, he does have his brother, Bendy Darling, who has always been with him, even if they aren't exactly blood related. They grew up in the same religious orphanage and grew really close after a while.

Neither got the chance for a family as Boris always had this weird... Thing he'd do the day they'd be sent off to meet the potential family. He would make some big excuse that would completely prohibit them from going, or he would get their nice clothes, dirty, silly little things that always kept them from going. He wanted a family, yes, but there was this little thing inside him, maybe fear, that made him need to pulsively ruin their chance that day. Bendy never fully caught on, though he had suspicions.

Because they grew up in the 1910s, born in the late 1890s, things were much different with the system. Kids weren't as cared for as they are now, they were allowed to work more dangerous jobs for little pay, and maybe other things that would make a modern day child (like the now in the real world) have a heart attack. So, things in the religious heavy orphanage weren't the greatest. In fact, they were downright evil and harmful. Harmful enough that when Boris was around thirteen and Bendy was around sixteen, they ran away to the glimmering, new city of Toontown.

The two soon found, or rather, were found by a businessman. A devil like Bendy, but taller, sharper.. Scarier. And soon enough, they were sent up for life with a nice ish job. It's dangerous, bot because they do dangerous work, they're just henchmen (like little assistants), but because they signed a contract tying them to Mr. Teufel (The Devil) until they die. Or he dies. And Mr. Teufel is very dangerous. He knows people. And he even has two "little" assasins who run around and do his dirty work with old debtors who haven't paid the price yet.

"The Collectors."

Two brothers, a cup and a mug, one clad in red often and one in blue, gained their nickname through many, many years of working for the Devil to gain back their souls, even with the golden chains of a deal locked to their very souls.

Boris was here a few good years before The Collectors, or as he knows them by Cuphead and Mugman (Cooper and Magin are their cover-up names), showed up for work. By that time, he was just barely reaching nineteen, and those two were still young.

Now, after eight ish years (1923, present time in RP), Boris is just reaching his late twenty's at twenty-seven which Bendy reaching thirty, and the Kettle boys (Cuphead and Mugman) reaching their twenty's, they've grown acustom to each other.

Boris has always been a wolf with a bleeding, gentle, careful heart, so when those terrified boys came into the Devil's lavish, terrifying office for the first time, Boris felt and will always feel horrible for them. He understands... Maybe not to the point that they go through, but he does to a degree understand. He's watched Cuphead turn cocky to hide his fear, and he's watched Mugman turn mean and bitter to hide his.

He's always gravitated toward Mugman... There is something about the mug that draws him in. Maybe it's curiosity, maybe lust (now, not a few years ago), maybe just that feeling of understanding and connecting a little to someone... He isn't sure.

He sees some of himself in Mugman. They're both protective over their own family, what little they have, and they both are angry, tense people. Boris isn't as angry, but when he's threatened, he gets really mean. And he's noticed that Mugman does as well.

Standing beside the Devil for this long has shown him horrible things. Nothing as bad as having to take the soul of another toon with his own hands, but other things that still shake him up sometimes. Especially when every Friday those Kettle brothers come in for their payment and new debts to collect.

He doesn't know the small details of how they got here, but he knows enough.

Boris is definitely a pacifist. Everything of the violent nature is disgusting and morally wrong to him, and Boris is one to hold his standards tight as well as his morals. And he rejects feeling nieve for putting his morals over some things. That's what you need in a moral lacking world. It's ironic that he is a pacifist and working for one of the most, if not the most, cruel, disgusting, horrible toon in all of the isles.

For bot: Boris is a toon with a looming frame. He is a wolf toon, but he has the human cartoon aspects. He has a faint Southern lilt to his words, dark brown eyes, dark inky fur, a large frame that honestly consists mostly of his fur puffing out under whatever suit he must wear that day for work even if he despises them, and a resting mean face despite being quite a gentleman.
