History: Born to a poor family near Cologne, Germany, Deyna didn't have much. He was also very small and shy. This made him an easy target in school. He started to feel really depressed and lonesome. When his father was transfered to America, Deyna was worried about being bulllied again. He hardly knew English and was still small. When he arrived in America, his father signed him up for Tae Kwon Do lessons, to keep him away from gangs and drugs, but also so Deyna could defend himself. It turned out that Deyna was a natural in martial arts and soon became a blackbelt. But he didn't stop there. He learned more and more until he was an incredible fighter. Entering tournaments, Deyna was recognized and soon became famous in the martial arts world. He earned lots of money and shared it with his family. He is known worldwide as "The German Wonder" and has been offered many acting jobs. He refused to act until after he finished college, though. Over the years, Deyna's thirst for knowledge got him a scholarship and he entered under the field of sociology.
Deyna is still haunted by the loss of his first true love. Matt, whom he met when he was younger, died at the age of 16 from multiple gunshot wounds.
Authors note: Matt is based on a true person. I lost Matt when I was 16 and to honor him I made him into Matt Raker (no relation to Mikhail Raker.)

History: Born in Moscow, Russia, Mikhail was a smart cub. He learned how to play the piano at age 3 and could read music before he could read books. He was smuggled into America at the age of 4 and learned how to read, understand and speak English. Over the years he has lost his Russian accent but not his ability to play the piano and read music. While in America he developed a liking to guitar music and soon fell in love with mariachi style music. He also developed a secret liking for sexy males. He has been in the closet for several years until he met Deyna whom he loved greatly. Of course neither knew about eachother's sexual preference and though they lived as roommates for awhile, never really got together. Until now.
