Preliminary Backstory:
Growing up in and around dueling has its perks. Learning how to drive at an early age and dueling strategies from his father, his career was set…he would be a Duelist. Starting off small time it took quite a bit, including an endorsement from his father, to actually get a decent gig. That’s all it took to for sponsors to flock to him. His natural talent and skill propelled him to the point of being well out of his father’s shadow. His rise as a Duelist didn’t go unnoticed and not without making some enemies as well. His rise also led to his mechanic rise as well. His main rival was T-Ray Jones, who was always out to knock him down a peg. Their rivalry heated up quite often and was well known in dueling circles, and it was at the height of this rivalry that everything fell apart. Merle’s, the mechanic, business partner screwed him over and the bottom fell out. When everything fell out, so did Merle…he disappeared. Then came the scandals, first that I was illegally modifying my car since I didn’t have a mechanic, then allegations of illegal drug use, and finally that I was buying off officials. That’s all it took for his career, sponsors left in droves leaving him high and dry. The duelist career at an end, and somehow I know that Jones was involved, just not able to prove it. In a public statement, T-Ray said that their rivalry was over because he knew that Atherton could never be better than him without cheating. Shelby moved on with his life, knowing that he would have to find out how Jones was involved and clear his name…eventually.
