Personality: Faust is a very calm person- he has a gentle voice, gentle movement, and a gentle approach to most things he does. Faust is for the most part kind and caring to others but if he is crossed, he stands up for himself. He doesn’t let rudeness pass by him. He will however stay relaxed when addressing it. He tends to get excited easily but he tries his best to hide his excitement so others don’t see him as too vulnerable. Faust is known by all his peers to be gentle and calm. However, his rough side comes out when he gets riled up, usually sexually. Intimacy turns Faust into a lion and he even admits himself that it’s his biggest weakness.

History: Faust was an accident to his single mother, Mannie. As much as she wanted an abortion, her parents would not let her as they believed she had to pay for her actions. Faust had to be held in a surrogate because his mother had scoliosis and was not going to be able to carry him. Because of the cost of the surrogate, his mother had to drop out of community college and work two jobs. Faust was born a whole month before his due date, August 28, 1995, but still healthy. As rough as Mannie’s life had been the last eight months, she didn’t feel ready to take care of Faust and highly considered putting him up for adoption but when she looked into his eyes holding him after his birth, she felt a connection with him and decided she wanted to keep him.

Mannie began to take care of Faust with the help of her boyfriend at the time, Fredo, who was a drug addict. Fredo told her that once he got clean off drugs, he and Mannie could start a family with Faust so Mannie stayed hopeful. As Mannie began to take care of Faust more and more, she realized how much work a baby really was and began to really dislike her. With the stress of two low-paying jobs, her relationship not showing any growth, and taking care of her baby, Mannie began to grow a lot of anger and she blamed it all on Faust.

Ever since Faust’s birth, tons of people talked about his appearance and said he was such a cute baby. His green eyes, fluff cheeks, and sweet smile. However, with Mannie’s disdain for her son, she never saw this- not until she realized she could profit off of it. Once Faust was around 2, she got him into modeling. It took Mannie some time to understand the modeling world but once she found her way around it, Faust became a hit. With his happy baby personality, he got many gigs and a lot of people liked him. As money rolled in, Fredo got closer to Mannie and quickly began to talk about marriage. Mannie was head over heels for him.

Faust’s modeling world became his foundation- his agents became parental figures to him, his work environment was his learning ground. Having Faust in school wasn’t a priority for Mannie, if he needed to be doing something for modeling she’d pull him out in a heartbeat. For the next 7 years the world of the O’Nadricks was like this. Faust didn’t have a close relationship with his mother. His mom worked a night job and used the money she and Faust made for herself and Fredo. Fredo continued to hint at marriage but never actually initiated anything. Eventually, Mannie found out Fredo was with her for her money and had numerous other side girls. This sent Mannie on a craze and she began to start drinking and partying more and more. She hired a nanny to take Faust to and from. Faust worried about his mother so at age 8, he called the cops to see if they could do anything. This only made Mannie angry and she threatened to put Faust out on the street if he got involved with her life again. The cops arranged for Mannie to get some help from a therapist. Because of Mannie’s condition, Faust was removed from his agency.

Faust began to focus on school while Mannie focused on herself. Faust’s babysitter looked after him most of the time, charging little as she knew Faust needed proper care. By the time Faust was 13, Mannie felt that she was ready to truly be in his life and mentally she felt healthy. Faust, more surprised than ever, was very excited for his mother to come back in his life. Faust then signed to a new modeling agency. The first year with his mother was very successful and the two began to grow close. But, once Faust turned 14, Mannie started arranging for him to do modeling gigs that were on the raunchier side but paid a lot. Faust didn’t exactly feel comfortable doing these gigs, especially because the new agency he was signed to was very unknown and he believed they were breaking some laws. Mannie however insisted that Faust do the gigs and soon became forceful about it. Faust fought his mother and agency on numerous occasions but always lost. When Faust was 16 he became very adversarial towards mom. Mannie kicked Faust out of the house and he went to live with his old babysitter in Nebraska, across the country from his mother. From there he finished high school, graduating a year and a half late due to all the time he missed in school.

At age 19, Faust filed a lawsuit against his agency and his mother. He won the case, putting a thick dagger in his relationship with his mother. He now resides in Miduna Beach where he plans on finding his path.
