Biography[]
Axle did not the most glorious upbringing. He was born in Germany during the Third Reich. He was poor as his family supported the opposing party. The Nazis had restricted rights to them and had stripped away all of their valuables. Axle kept thinking that every day could be his last day. This would cause Axle to develop long-lasting anxiety issues later in life. Axle made occasional trips to the grocery store to support his dying mother. She had caught a rare strain of Polio that Axle was immune to. The Polio had paralyzed his mother. He was very young, but he cared for his mother deeply. Axle did everything he could for his mother. His father had been run over by a car three years earlier.
On a day that seemed normal, Axle wandered to the store to gather his food coupons. He gathered a bag of apples and canned goods and headed home. The streets were ransacked and there was chaos everywhere. Axle even had to outrun a mugger on his way home. When he opened the rickety door, he was met with a somber sight. It was his mother. She was cold and motionless. The Polio had reached her lungs which caused her to fall into cardiac arrest. Axle could do nothing but cry. He came to the conclusion that no one should feel this sad ever again. Axle didn't know what to do. He was broke and he couldn't even pay for groceries anymore since a burglar broke in and stole everything valuable overnight. Axle then saw a poster blowing through the wind. He snatched the poster out of the air. It read "Come to Silly Country, the land for the free!" Axle thought that this was his chance to get out of poverty.
He booked a ticket with the last of his money, and made the flight to Silly Country. The flight was very boring until a terrorist tried to blow the plane up. In a stroke of luck, the terrorist had eaten 3 cans of baked beans that morning and he was struck with severe stomach cramps and an irresistible urge to go to the bathroom. The terrorist rushed to the bathroom, but was arrested upon landing. Axle had landed in Silly City and it was even more amazing than he could've ever dreamed of. Towers dotted the skyline and the streets were bustling with automobiles. Excitedly, Axle began his new life in Silly City. He bought a studio apartment and took residence inside. The apartment was cozy but there was no running water thanks to a pipe leak down the road. He still had a money problem, so he started looking for jobs.
He soon found a job at an ice cream parlor. He found that the customers were excessively rude and entitled. One even spat in his face. This was the last straw for him and he quit that same day. He thought about working for FACT, but he thought otherwise, thinking the job would take too much of his time. What he really dreamed of doing was making other kitties happy. He would brainstorm this thought and idealize anything that came to mind. At this time, Axle's anxiety issues started getting in the way of his life. Every time he saw a ransacked store or hear a gunshot, he would start getting panicked. He attended therapy and got medication to support his issue. Feeling lucky, Axle signed up for the lottery. He didn't think he would win but he thought it was worth a shot. To his surprise, he had won second best prize. It was S฿300,000. He contemplated on what he would spend with his money and he decided he wanted to be an architect.
Axle continued trying to find ways to make other kitties happy. He would give some of his cash to homeless kitties on the street. He was praised in his community, but he wanted to do better. He attended architecture school and graduated. It was tough, but he learned from the best of the best. He still had no idea what his legacy would be. He researched online for what he could do. He then came up with the perfect idea, to create an amusement park. He realized that this would be the perfect way to make other kitties happy. He met with city supervisors and they accepted his plan. He got to work. He hired several construction crews and they got building. The building took 4 years and a lot of money. Axle had spent all of his lottery winnings on the theme park. The park was finally finished. He called it, Sillyton Adventureland, after the name of his of grandfather, Sillyton. Business was slow but once it got started, he started raking in cash. Axle wasn't going to stand by and watch though, he publicly participated in all of the attractions. He believed that this way, the customers could see the managers could have fun too.
Axle managed the park for the next 20 years of his life. That's when he got a letter from the Silly Traveling Circus. They asked if they could hold their event in his theme park. Axle signed the letter and the event was scheduled for the 12th of February, 1984. Axle had time to plan. He was watching TV when he saw Insam and Ah So Cat getting into their fights. Axle thought that if he got them to come to the circus event, that it could bring some extra business at the park. He wrote letters to both of them, tricking them into thinking the other was supposed to be at the park. It was finally time for the event and Axle couldn't be happier. It was the busiest day he had ever seen. Insam and Ah So Cat were there too, much to his delight. He thought nothing of them and continued on with the celebrations. That was until the circus event started and Insam and Ah So Cat entered the tent. They started getting to fights and it climaxed when Insam threw a pipe bomb at Ah So Cat. It ignited a box of fireworks next to it. This ignited the tent in an event that would be called the Silly City Circus Burning.
Axle was torn. He lost a lot of revenue and he was responsible for it. He couldn't take the pressure. He disappeared mysteriously and it is thought he ended his own life, but no one knows for sure.
