History Debt was something common in New York. So wasn't losing your house to someone because of a gambling debt. In Christian's case this is what happened. For years he'd lived in a too tiny home with his father and mother. His mother had done everything she could to shelter him from his father's gambling debt, but in the end it hadn't lasted nearly long enough for him to grow up. At seven years old his mother passed away. Still he doesn't know what it was from. His best guess? A broken heart. Why? Because his father paid more attention to the horses on the track, the cards on the table, or the next big sell, instead of his family. There was only so much that little Christian had been able to do. After she'd died Christian was at the mercy of his father. The only good thing the man had ever done for him was teach him how to play a mean hand of cards. At eleven his father made the biggest mistake of Christian's young life. He gambled the house after they'd lost pretty much any money that his mother had put away for them. Christian had found himself out on the street with his father for a while, until his father had left him by a street pole, told him to stay while he went and tried to win them some money. At eleven years old, that day was the last day that he'd ever seen his father. With his little bag of stuff he'd wandered the street, trying to find anywhere he could to stay. Now at seventeen he's learned that his life on the street, though hard and tough, has been far more fulfilling than his life with his father ever would have been. In fact he was happy to be left. The only thing he really missed was his mother. He gambles every now and then to get some extra money, and he tries always to share his food with those he bunks with.
