| HISTORY |
    He came from a not so happy home with him not knowing what happened to his father since he disappeared from his life when he was 4. His mother soon became cold and distant to both him and his baby sister Tayler. She started only doing the bare minimum as a parent, so she wouldn't cause protective services to take her children away ruining her image. Dustin tried his best to take care of his sister by protecting her from their mother, especially when their mother started becoming verbally abusive when Dustin and Tayler were 14 and 12 respectively. 
     He would always end up getting into yelling matches with their mother whenever she would continuously verbally attack Tayler on her looks or anything she did. Most times he tried to not yell in front of Tayler if he could help it. As they got older their mother stopped doing the definition of being a parent, so Dustin always tried to take care of Tayler making sure she only had to worry about herself. He would run himself ragged just to make Tayler happy. 

     At midnight on Dustin’s 18^th birthday, he was told to get out by his mother, he tried to fight with her but realizing it was pointless and so he packed what he could and left. He was heartbroken hoping that Tayler wouldn't hate him for not saying goodbye, so he tried his best to communicate with her without their mother getting in the way. Before he was about to save up for his own place he was able to take shelter at the local pokemon center where he was introduced to his ghost Pikipek Plague, who was outside of the center looking like he was abandoned. Dustin was able to get odd jobs just to save up for his own apartment and made it happen within a year and a half of moving out, Since when he was 19 he got a call from Tayler to find out that she got kicked out by their mother. He immediately took her in so she wouldn't experience being homeless like he did, making sure she would never have to experience it he managed to get a steady job as a mover. 

     He was able to make ends meet with his new job that he was able to enjoy his hobby of practicing the guitar and singing in his newly found free time. Other things he was able to do was go on different trips with Tayler where he found new pokemon, making new friends out of them or his definition of a family.
