Rylan was born the second son to Adam and Leah Soza on March 26th, 1986. His path in life had already practically been decided before he was even out of the womb. His father, grandfather and great grandfather were all prominent lawyers in Louisiana and it was assumed that at least one of the Soza children would follow in their footsteps. Rylan was the one who showed the most potential at a really young age, with his father quizzing him of various cases in history all through out his life. The importance of Rylan's education was stressed early on as there was only one choice school for law in their eyes and that was Yale. He attended private school at Dalton in New York, where he had extended family.
Ry grew very partial to his summers away from school and it caused him to find a deep love for his hometown away from the crazy lifestyles of the big city. Away from all the responsibilities put on him by his curricular schedule, he often escaped into the Louisiana wilderness with friends and his brothers; taking as many camping trips and hikes as his parents would permit. Once he was sixteen, his father put him to work at his law firm during every school break, to get him used to the environment and further his knowledge for his future. In his senior year, within the top 10% of his class, Rylan was accepted into Yale.
He started his undergraduate degree in Philosophy with a minor in English, on his father's recommendation, in 2004. During his time at Yale, he pledged Sigma Alpha Epsilon in his undergrad years and was involved with Linonian Society during his graduate program. He left Yale with his law degree in 2012 and returned to Louisiana to practice law at his grandfather's firm, where he currently works.
Rylan's personal life has had it's ups and downs. Commitment has never been a strong point for him on a romantic level and the avoidance of it for so long has made it difficult for him to change as he's gotten older, developing into almost a fear of it as the unknown. His relationship with his siblings can sometimes be turbulent, because of his close bond with his father; something the others haven't felt they've quite shared. He gets bored easily when life becomes too mundane and it's gotten him in trouble a time or two in the past. He doesn't keep the kind of friends that his parents really approve of and that coupled with his mischief has caused rifts through his home life. But even nearing thirty, he's still learning.
