Felix is the son of Gabrial the God of Balance, and Emilie the Goddess of performances. Felix also has a twin brother Adrian. The only thing that Adrian and Felix have in common is their looks, and they still look so different due to the way that they carry themselves. Felix has always been more reserved, he enjoys his time reading, and going for walks, while Adrian enjoyed meeting people, socializing. Due to there differences they never really got along great, they didn't hate each other, they were just never close and preferred it that way.

Growing up Felix's mother was always the one around since she was a lesser God compared to her husband. Both he and Adrian have fond memories of their mother. She was the one that got Felix into reading, she would read to him every night, and sometimes she would tell him stories of plays the mortals would put on in her honour. Even though their father was always working, he tried his best to at least be there for them at the end of the day, and have dinner with them. Sometimes Felix looks back at those days, in sadness, others with happiness, even though both his parents weren't constantly there for him and his brother, it always seems to be perfect compared to what it turned into.

Right before they were supposed to start school an accident happened when his mom was with 2 friends on a girl's day. She went out with her friend Willow the Goddess of Witchcraft and Marada the Goddess of Darkness and Illness. Apparently they got in a fight and started throwing attacks to each other, Emilie tried to step in between them to break up the fight, but due to that, she got hit with both of their spells. Emilie didn't die, but unfortunately, she wouldn't wake up, the combination of the two spells created something that not even Ray the God of Healing could fix. When his father heard about what had happened he was pissed. He talked to the high 9 demanding that some form of punishment be given. The 2 Goddess's were bound to the underworld until they can find a way to undo what has been done, even though Gabriel wanted more to be done, he was at least happy that he doesn't have to see them again, and he had hoped that they would be able to bring her back to him soon. Felix never really held the same resentment that his father had, maybe it was because they were his mother's friend, or that it was an accident, or maybe its because he got to know them and he works with them.

After that Gabrial got really protective over his sons, trying his best to keep them safe, but he also grew distinct, it was clear he was afraid to hurt again. Slowly he stopped joining them for dinner and saying goodnight, he started to shut himself in, only leaving when he had duties to fulfill. It was clear to Felix that everything that his father saw, reminded him of Emilie, but it was also clear that he held on hope. Felix was never too sure, but he knew that his father was doing research in the background, hoping that he too, can find a way to wake his sleeping wife. Due to the fact that they were practically never allowed to leave their father's land, he hired Nathalie the Goddess of Planning, to teach his two boys.

Felix never really minded being homeschooled, he would be lying if he said that he didn't enjoy it, but his brother, on the other hand, he hated it. Adrian was a social person, so being cut away from everyone, and having a cold brother didn't really help, when they were in there last 2 years of school, Adrian was able to convince their father to let him go to school. It was clear to him that his father had favourited Adrian compared to him, his guess was it was because out of the both of the Adrian was the more like Emilie. Even though his father favoured his brother, he was at least allowed to go on walks.

And then the day came where they were assigned there roles. He remembers that day because it had started off so unusual, that having the Gods come seemed like it was only logical to happen. When he got up that morning and headed to have breakfast he saw that not only was his brother was there before him, but his father was there two. Felix couldn't remember the last time that his father ate breakfast with them. As they were finishing up their breakfast, they hear a knock on the door, then immediately a crash. All three of them bolted up from their chair and his assistant followed. When they got to the front they found what seemed to be a slightly annoyed God as well as another God, but his one held a Cheshire grin. The four imminently recognized them and bowed. The one on the right was tall and wear a purple tunic, and he had dark purple hair, it was clear that he was King Nooroo, and to the left was a god wearing a black tunic and he had black hair, and green eyes, everything about him screamed cat-like, it was clear that he was Duke Plag.
