Born in Reading, Berkshire Berk was born to Dominic Appleyard and his wife Moira Berkley. He was named Berkley as Moira was that last of her line and though Dominic had originally wanted to name his son after himself he was talked into it by Moira, whom he adored.
They were an upper-middleclass with Dominic being a well-liked, community orientated and respected local MP. Moira, was as smart as she was beautiful, a teacher as well as an artist. Together they were a much loved and respected couple.
Berkley was born on a cool late April morning. With his shock of red hair his mother was delighted that he inherited that from her as his eyes and most of his other features seem to be his fathers. Dominic was just pleased that he was a he, though later on down the track he saw the red hair and the fact that was always messy as a curse.
Berkley was a curious and precocious child. He seemed to predict things before they happened and to begin with his father saw this as a good thing as it meant that things would usually go his way. He once asked Berkley how he did it and Berkley would just shrug and say that he just knew.
He was seen as a little strange by other kids his age but he was liked anyway mainly because you couldn’t help but like him as he was fun to be around. Although he was not the best at sports or games, he tended to be a bit clumsy and over-enthusiastic but despite it if you were on his team you usually won. You also didn’t want to pick an argument or challenge him to a battle of wills because Berk showed a knack for debating and being right. This was something that Dominic liked also as he thought that Berkley might follow in his footsteps.
He, however, did things that would annoy Dominic to no-end. He never seemed to be neat and his hair usually would be all over the place, no matter how it was styled. Dominic would threatened to chop it all off at least once a week but never would mainly because Moira would never let him. His clothes always seemed to be rumpled and you just couldn’t take a good photo of him mainly because Berk had trouble sitting and standing still.
None of these seem all that bad but to Dominic who liked to see this of this as a mark against his own reputation and image. Moira, on the hand, didn’t think that there was anything wrong. Boys would be boys after all so her son not liking his photo taken, never looking overly neat and not sitting still was normal behaviour to her. She was a teacher, after all, and 95% of the boys in her class were this way.
He then turned 11 and all those little things that were good about his son became bad and all those bad things became worse in Dominic’s opinion.
