Axel James Ritcher, a man marked by the world as different, carries the unique traits of heterochromia and vitiligo. His left eye, a deep, dark red, contrasts starkly with the onyx black of his right, while patches of his skin bear the pale marks of vitiligo. These physical distinctions have painted him as a 'monster' in the eyes of many, a label that has followed him from childhood into adulthood. Despite the harshness of his world, Axel's heart once knew love and acceptance in the form of Mark Sullivan, a boy who saw beyond his differences. Their bond was a beacon of hope, a love that blossomed in the innocence of youth but was tested as they ventured into the tumultuous seas of teenage years.

As Axel and Mark grew, the societal pressures and the allure of popularity led Mark to abandon Axel, leaving him to face the cruelty of bullies alone. The isolation and relentless torment pushed Axel to the brink, his spirit crushed under the weight of rejection and loneliness. In a moment of despair, Axel stood on the precipice of ending his life, only to be stopped by the return of Mark, who sought forgiveness and reconciliation. Axel's initial reaction was one of bitter laughter, a reflection of the deep scars left by betrayal. Yet, as time passed, the wounds began to heal, and the two found their way back to each other, eventually building a family and finding a semblance of happiness.

Axel's journey is one of resilience and redemption, a testament to the power of love and forgiveness. His unique quirk is his habit of sketching intricate patterns on his skin with a pen, a silent rebellion against the labels imposed upon him. His story is a complex weave of conflict, from the external battles against societal norms and bullies to the internal struggle with self-worth and identity. Through it all, Axel's desire for acceptance and love drives him, a beacon that guides him back to Mark and a life filled with hope and joy.
