Forum:Character's Backstory?

Hey, this my first topic, and its title sounds like it could be a fairly common topic. Say something if there is already one. So this is a topic about your character's backstory. Try to make it "neat" and with as least grammatical mistakes as you can make. DiarrheaDELUXE 17:00, July 5, 2010 (UTC)DiarrheaDELUXE

You first, dude. Kind of weird to ask someone else to do something like this without giving one yourself. Wickedjacob 17:19, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

Ah, yes. Sorry, I was waiting to see if there was already a topic like this. Well, here goes.

Hades was never the one to fit in. He only cried once, that was when he just popped out his mother. He never really talked about anything, only when Amata talked to him. Although he barely interacted with any of the vault dwellers, they still treated him like he was different. And he was. His skin was noticeably paler than other people. His eyes were piercing, not in a frightening way...But in a fascinating one. He seemed to have his own little mysterious secret. He knew something others didn't. Maybe...HE didn't even know. Butch and the other guys, in secret, they were afraid of him. Not of his physical appearance, he didn't seem to have much muscle, but of his mental condition. they would see him in the diner leaning on the wall staring at the ceiling. He seemed to be longing for something. Not of his dead mother, not of money, not even of power. Whe he stepped out in the vault, the light shining on his ghost-like skin, passing wastelanders could've sworn they saw something else. Something not of a normal vault dweller. Something...different.

There it is, though I might change it entirely. DiarrheaDELUXE 18:12, July 5, 2010 (UTC)DiarrheaDELUXE

When Jasper Alan Hawk was young he was uninterested in sport, unlike all the other boys in the vault but in weapons. Guns mainly. He wasn't as strong or as large as the other boys either. Instead he was small, stealthy and smart. Useing scrap metal and unused electrical compoinents he took, unseen from stanelys tool box, he managed to make a slient stun-gun, nhe later combined the concept of the stun with a pair of brass knuckles he pickpocked form his childhoo bully, Butch. He managed all this by his 16th birthday. Although he was bullied and taunted he liked the vault. Life was good. But then on his 19th birthday, it all changed.With his various gifts he made something, something he never expected he could make. In his eyes he had found a way to make himself more stealthy. He had made... a stealthboy. He was planing to use it for revenge on Butch and his snakes in one week. He was happy. That night was was awoke, by his one friend in the vault. Amanta...

(to be continued) sorry about any spelling and gramar errors here.

Uriel, the guy I'm playing right now, is a coward. Growing up, he hated Butch and the other kids bullying him. Butch's bullying was more extreme in this story than simply peer hassles. Uriel really feared for his life at points. Meanwhile, his dad kept talking about how the most important thing was to be "safe." In Uriel's mind, his father was the only thing really keeping Butch from seriously hurting him. When his father left, he felt betrayed and frightened. He looked for safety in Megaton, but it was too different, too open, too harsh. Then he met Mr. Burke. Mr. Burke seemed cruel, but more importantly he seemed strong. Burke's hatred for Megaton matched Uriel's own misplaced anger, so Uriel did what Burke told him too. Long story short, Uriel has become Tenpenny's dog -- destroying Megaton, eliminating Roy Phillips, and now on his way to dispatch Mr. Crowley. Sure, he spends a lot of time in the wasteland and knows how to handle himself in a fight, but what keeps him going is that at the end of the day he knows he gets to go back to the comfort and safety of Tenpenny Tower. He could care less about the wasteland's problems. But one of these days he's gonna stumble upon his father. At that point, he'll have to make a decision: crawl back to his dad like a pentitent child, continue being a slave to Tenpenny, or finally grow up and be his own man.

Here's a nice twist on the topic - not only a character, but an AI.

The results of the FEV were a discouraging blow to the Enclave. The horrors of the results of the West Coast Super Mutants, who violently turned on their masters, combined with the pathetically limited intelligence of the East Coast DC Super Mutants, forced them to look elsewhere for answers to the next step in human superiority. They found the answer, almost accidentally, in the form of cybernetics.

Though there were already some primitive existing forms, such as brainbots, the Enclave had yet to actually assimilate human flesh with that of a machine, or a true cyborg. Initial experiments were carried out in Vault 63, where the Vault Inhabitants were quietly monitored as they were given cybernetic enhancements in some way - arms, legs, eyes, any and all parts were fair game...and yes, that meant ANY.

When the Vault opened, in 2107, the Enclave was rather dissappointed with the results - the Vault was, technically, a success, as the Vault's inhabitants managed to survive and leave the Vault - however, there were a few inhabitants who had malfunctioning parts. The survivors called it "flailing," as the mechanical enhancements would spasm uncontrollably for a few seconds or minutes...or until the person in question was stopped.

Clearly, the Enclave needed to ensure that these issues wouldn't be present in any cyborgs they intended to create themselves. The conclusion they arrived at: merge the cyborg's human mind with that of an artificial intelligence.

The AI known as 'Titan' was developed by Enclave scientists in 2237, as a gesture to fix the issues of Vault 63. For the sake of identity, Titan was assigned a male gender. Titan was to serve as the template for future AIs that would be created for Enclave power suits with a built-in neural interface. The suits, which would link into Enclave cyborgs via their central nervous systems, would allow their wearers to perform feats that bordered on being superhuman - with none of the issues that plagued those of Vault 63.

Enclave scientists decided that to ensure a better "link" was present between the host and its AI, they designed Titan to be capable of self-awareness, giving it the ability to learn and adapt to any situation that may arise. When the scientists demonstrated the AI's capabilities, their superiors were quite pleased with the results.

However, Titan's self-awarness had also allowed him to develop something the scientists never expected: a conscience.

As the years went by, Titan suddenly came to realize what the Enclave planned to do with the results of his tests, and what goals they aimed to achieve. Disgusted by what he discovered, Titan quietly began to make a plan to keep the Enclave from achieving their goals.

On May 26, 2243, Titan executed his plan. Injecting himself into the base's central mainframe, he seized control of the security systems, killing the guards, scientists, and any cyborgs who were completed. To ensure the base's developments would never be used by evil hands, he then set the facility to self-destruct, beaming his personality to whatever orbiting satellite he could find before returning back to Earth.

Onboard the communications satellite, Titan beamed himself wherever the satellite was presently aimed, before destroying it to eliminate any possibility of being traced. In the end, he found himself inside an old Pip-Boy 3000, amidst so much other clutter. Though whoever wore the device would never know of its inhabitant, Titan would rest with the knowledge that the Enclave had one less option for domination of the wastes.

25 years later, a young boy named Michael would come to don the Pip-Boy in which Titan resided, unaware of the artifact the small wrist computer kept sealed. What Titan learned from the boy's actions that day gave him great promise: kind and courteous, Michael seemed like the most ideal person to be called Titan's owner - but unless the boy was a cyborg, Titan would have no way to speak with his wearer.

Nine more years would pass, and Titan's faith in his owner was astoundingly reassured - despite the horrors the wastes had thrown at him, Michael was clearly a man who knew right from wrong - he stood up for his childhood friend, Amata, completed the Wasteland Survival Guide with flying colors, and accomplished something many considered impossible - he single-handedly diffused the bomb in Megaton after saving Lucas Simms from an attempted murder by Mr. Burke. Titan knew he had found the one worthy of his mantle.

It was about one month later when Titan became aware of an important event - Michael had acquired enough medical and scientific skill to give himself cybernetic enhancements - the one thing Titan needed for his freedom. When the proceedure was complete, Titan immediately addressed his owner who he was, where he came from, and what he had seen in the boy. When Titan declared his desire to his owner to aid in the boy's good deeds, Michael accepted the offer graciously.

The two now continue to blaze a trail across the wastes, bringing hope and comfort to those who need it, and delivering justice to all who deserve it. To the rest of the wasteland, they are the bright light of hope, shining in the darkness. Titan AEX4 18:56, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

...Anyway he leaves, he runs through the vault, under fire from the guards, he gets to the vault door he meants the overseer, who draws a gun on him. Jasper leapt at him, making his hnds in to fists, causing the electric current to flow through his brass knuckles, but before he made contact with his target a three shots were fired, one hit Jasper in the chest and two got him it the stomace, he kept moving through the air and hit the overseer in the face. The current caused the overseer to become uncountuos. Jasper, wounded, activated the vault door and crawled out. As the world faided he saw a huge pile of twisted metal in the distance...

When he awoke a man was sitting next to him. His name was Mr Burk, he had saved Jasper from the wastes and asked for nonthing in return, exept for him to apply a small device to the undetonated bomb, and then go to Tenpenny tower. Jasper owed him is life, he asked what it was going to do, the reply was simply "inprove this world, clearing out the old and bringing in the new." Apon arriving at the tower he spoted what looked like a walking dead body. He thought little of it, and weant to meet the man how he owed his life to. "Excilent, you're here. Now for the...fireworks". Megaton exploaded...

Born into the cold bunker of Vault 101, Jack Neeson was estranged from the world. He wore leather jackets, and had odd hairstyles, pale skin, and pocketknives. And a toaster, but thats besides the point. Anyway, always aware of the lack of fancy or above average objects in the vault, Jack didnt ask for much. He was also a quick boy to mature bodily, having a goatee at 14. At his ecape from the vault at age 19, Jack saw the horrors of the wastes and the free will that followed in it's path. Jack was quickly changed. He wore a grimy tux, and large rimmed glasses, aided by a .44 revolver. His goal? Purify the wasteland of strugglers. When he saw thestruggling town of Megaton? He destroyed it. His hair was brown. When he saw the the scrounger ghouls in the metro? He murdered them. His back was aching. He started buffout. He killed the water beggars. His hands trembled. And then he joined the Brotherhood of Steel, seeing them as people willing to save the strugglers and put a cease to their, er, struggles... without killing them (it saves ammo). But when he saw his ability to infect the water of the wasteland? He saw this as a chance to pure the world of MILLIONS of strugglers... He sat on 50,00 caps. But something was amiss. By age 20, his hair had already faded to a terribly light wheat tone. And he walked with a cane. Without understanding of his conditions, Jack trekked the wastes for any traces of his birth records. Aged 21, Jack had a full head of snow white hair, and an unkempt beard to match. Ail with Diabetes, and carpal tunnel, Jack stumbled upon a set of recordings stashed away in the Project Purity faccility. Jack listened with glee as it entailed the happy story of the long awaited child's birth. But the next recording was not as chipper, describing the story of the mother's deathand what to do with the baby... Nicholas. Nicholas? But then what of Jack? Next he listened to a recording, describing the death of the baby, who had died shortly after his mother. But the father was determined. He gave word of an idea:The creation of an android to replace his lost son... The android was made with a slight defect, however, for, the simulated aging behind the android would never be synchronized correctly. And it was settled: At the dawn of year twenty a killswitch of sorts would be engaged... Kinda like Solid Snake's accelarted aging. Jack saw his time was running low, and that the wasteland hadnt appreciated his evil rich man persona. Or his evil "purging" he had done. And so, the elder, and balding, Jack did as the few survivors pleaded: He left D.C. for one last place: A place where everything was a shooting course; Where the hospitallity was most definantly southern: POINT LOOKOUT. And it was there that he rotted away quickly and quietly, out of the public eye. Come 2081, His withered skeleton sat in radioactive husks... a-floatin'-down-the-river.

Michael-

Michael was a vault child born outside the walls of steel, the mountain of metal. He was born in the wastes of hell were radiation had blanketed the earth like a guardian angel blankets his chosen. Michael was born in this hell, he was different then others he was very small, and very skinny but what he lacked in strengh and shher size he made up for with his wits, thealth, and his ability to even out the playing field by building. He lived much of his life in vault 101. To him a hateful place of all things different then itself a sterling exaple is Butch and the overseer, the only one who understood him was his father and his freind amata. By age ten the overseer was questioning whether Michaels father James was fit to be in the vault as he wanted to be a scientest not the doctor he was forced to be.

Michael found that although he could never match others in strengh he would use is smarts and and size to defeat his foes. He to an intrest in the art of warfare studying War leaders and the weapons used to wage war. From Ceasar to Hitler, from the Whermacht to the United states armed forces, from the StG 44 to Steyr AUG.

Six years later:

While over time he was able to use scap metal, and Vault tech to build a weapon for himself. During these years to come he became more and more attached to his Father, and to Amata whom he grew a love for. to his father was stronger. After 6 years he finally finished his device calling it the SG77 or SturmGewhear 2077 (Storm Rifle in german)

Three year later:

He was woken by his love Amata told Michael that his father escaped this prison he was trapped in, the vault. Amata also said that Jonas was killed, by the overseer himself. Michael inside was furious, and in this fit of anger, he gave amata a kiss goodbye then stormed off to kill the overseer. Using his wits, and the tactics he had leaned over the years he fought a successfull battle through the Vault security fighting straight through them and storming straight to the overseer

Finally reaching the Overseers office, when he suddenly heard Amata cying inside the office and pleading for them stop. He stormed into the room seeing Officer mack beating his love. He stormed in a rage and beat the officer with the butt of his gun finally shooting him, and in a fit of rage beat the overseer to the floor shooting him after he forced the man to burst to tears.

He then ran off leaving the vault and looking for his father.......BAH BAH.....BAH BAH BAH BAH............ Good lord that was too long but ahwell. - 1Futuremarine1 yes I know mine is similar to someone elses.

Just go to my user page and look at Japer Alan Hawk, Big Guns aka The Exterminator.

Jack

Jack was a sad young child, but his childhood is still worth noteing as it explains his current state. He was born outside of a vault, but his father gained himself and Jack entry. When he was 1 and a half he had commited his first crime. He had a habit of taking the other children's toys. On his tenth birthday he stole all of the party guest's possesions without being noticed. Later when his father and a friend had a suprise for him Jack stole the friends things too. As his childhood progressed his ability to steal became uncanny. He was capable of picking locks, hacking computers and no-one's pocket's were safe from his skills. He eventually grew tired of taking his friend's possesions and started taking from gaurds and even the overseer. The only clue to his thefts came in the form of a GOAT, but the teacher dismissed the thought. Jack was no longer satisfied with the vault's limitations. When his father left, Jack saw it as an oppurtunity to find new people to steal from. So Jack left the vault and found Megaton. Jack stole everything that wasn't nailed down. Local Sherrif Lucas Simms had been very upset recently because all of the previous Megaton residents had been killed by a clean freak with a flamer. He only discovered Jack because Jack showed up, then everyone came with theft complaints. Lucas went to find Jack but as he went towards Morairaty's Saloon he heard a beeping noise from the atomic bomb at the town's center. Lucas ran up to the saloon to find Mr. Burke, a suspect in the attempted destruction of Megaton only to find that he wasn't there. Then the bomb exploded. Jack was at Tenpenny Tower at the time, with a happy Mr. Burke and Mr. Tenpenny. Later Tenpenny tower was attacked by Ghouls, including one with long, sharp nails. Jack saw a hero in a radiation suit with a flamer fighting the long-nailed ghoul. Thankful for the disraction Jack fled the tower. He saw the warrior in yellow leave calmly, and amazed ran up to him. The man raised his flamer as Jack approached, but Jack hurridely explained that he was from a vault to which the man responded with kindness. Then they left together on a quest to kill all ghouls on the planet. This article is a tribute to Pvt. Jasper 42's stories of The Exterminator and Feral. Yum Brahmin 00:28, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

I forgot the name of this character, so let's call him John, okay? John, when growing up, was a brilliant boy, considered the best and the brightest of Vault 101. He was always peaceful and strong, and always did what was right. He was thought to one day become the next Overseer, or the head of the Chapel, or a doctor, just like his father. He was good friends with Amata and several other of his fellow students, and was always as kind as he could be to his elders and peers. When the day of the G.O.A.T. came, he passed and became the head of the Chapel, and devoted himself to helping others and spreading the word of peace, not necessarily God (though he told many that faith would lead to greater happiness). However, one day his father left. His father ran. His father fled from the vault without so much as a goodbye. John couldn't handle it. He couldn't take it. His mind twisted and turned. Once he had learned his good friend of both him and his father, Jonas, had been killed, he broke into a psychotic rage, killing everyone who stood in his way and slicing up their bodies. Finally he reached the Overseer, responsible for the killing, and stating his rage at the Overseer he sliced off his head. He fled the Vault, its people and his past friends loathing him and his father for what had been done.

And his mind cracked. His mind broke into two. He was psychotic and erratic and was as likely to kill one as to save them. He saved all of the poor he came across, every dying and misled person, and for that he was hailed, but he came to Arefu where two forces were at war, and once he made peace between them, he slaughtered them both, and basked in their blood. Soon he came to Tenpenny Tower, which he held hostage and demanded ransoms to permit them to stay alive. He then burnt it to the ground and walked from the ashes.

However, he had his mind, hidden deep within himself, and at times it pulled itself out to do what was right. He freed the slaves of The Pitt and fought hard for the Outcasts in their operation in D.C. He rescued many from Alien abductors. And then he came to Point Lookout, Maryland. Here everything changed. Here he remembered. Here he was reborn. Falling into a massive, psychotic delusion, his mind was cured and purged of its once blood-thirsty thoughts. He remembered his father, he remembered his purpose, he remembered who he was, and after a massive war between the Enclave and the Brotherhood of Steel, he left. His father dead, his vault shunning him, and the wasteland returned to peace, he walked off into the sunset, never to return to the land. However, the story isn't over. No. It has only just begun.

Cheesy ending, but hey, maybe it'll be a story someday when I get bored and decide to write one. Sombar1

John no want Psycho. John want Jet. And buffout. and beer. Screw Psycho. He was too messed up for Psycho. His doctor recommended Psycho as a stress-relieving and anti-insanity drug for him. It's like recommending crack to a druggee because the druggee is way too messed up.

Michael’s Back-story (I’m doing it in third person, as a biography would do) Michael was born in Vault 101 in which he was the casual "slacker" of the vault was loved by freinds and family, yet despised by the overseer, as soon as his father left though, he seems to have gotten into a rough patch with the overseer, and while we do not know why he left, Michael later claims he was going to be murdered if not helped by his freind. We really see Michael come in at 19 years of age, where he was found in megaton, a polite and charismatic figure, he quickly made friends with a Mister Burke, of which paid him an extravagant sum of 500 caps to simply install a piece of equipment in old war technology, Michael accepted, Knowing what he was doing, yet needy of the caps and room. He agreed to meet this certain Mister Burke at Tennpeny tower, Michael, Still the same charming and charismatic figure smiled as he pulled the plug on Megaton, Michael during this period of his life had worked extensively for Mr. Tennpeny (We know of him calling himself, the "agent" of Tennpeny tower.) He worked hard protecting Tennpeny tower from all threats, and while not strictly a ghoul hater, he was obviously not a sympathizer as he completed Chief Gustavo's wish, and slaughtered Roy and his followers, a time later we find Michael working his way into Paradise falls using his extensive reputation as a man who will get caps, at extreme costs. We mark this point, as it's the turning point in the "agent's" life. Looking over the slaves of paradise falls and the children who were obviously living a hard life, something clicked in Michael, as he slaughtered every slaver in the town, and took Eulogy's uniform as a trophy, Michael started to change from a cold heartless mercenary, into the loving, “Agent of change” (Of course he didn’t accept this title until he was brought into the BoS) A year or two later we find Michael at the point of the enclave invasion of the wastes, Michael, knowing that his enemy had better weapons, training, and armor, had retreated to The Pit for a bit of training, away from the enclave force that threatened his homeland, This is where we see the real main change between The force of Tennpeny tower, and Agent of change, as Michael went from training in speech, bartering and, small arms, to training for energy weapons, sneaking, and science. After destroying the enclave forces at Raven rock and the air base, Michael set out to clear out the wastes, after securing Oasis’s garden he made sure that it would spread the grass of the wastes, with G.E.C.K and Oasis, Michael has set on one last mission, He has declared war on all forces of war, that would prevent the reconstruction of the wastes. Rich, Ambitious, and a brilliant fighter, Michael will fight the forces of evil everywhere he goes. “I will kill all of these Talon bastards, even if I have to strangle em to death with my bare hands!” Michael "The Agent of Change" Banders Goodinbad 19:00, November 19, 2010 (UTC)

Damien ''Note: I have not played most of the game yet, I am only at Megaton, so I will only take the story to there for now. ''

Damien was a very interesting child. From the moment of his birth, his dad sensed he had some special qualities for good. Now this didn't stop him from doing things his dad didn't approve of. It was on his 10th birthday that things changed for him. Damien was given a BB gun and from that day forward he decided that if he ever left the vault he would join the Army.

When Damien was 19, things again changed for him. His best friend, and girl he had a crush on, told him that his dad left the Vault and the guards were coming for him. Damien got out of bed and ran around the room picking up his supplies that he would need so he could leave the Vault.

Damien made it past a few guards and arrived at the Overseers office, where the Overseer was interrogating Amata. Damien charged the Overseer and beat him to death with a baseball bat, along with the guard that was there. Amata didn't like what he did, but did help him get out of the Vault. He knew he could not go back and walked to the first place he could find that had people living there. It was Megaton.

While there, Damien helped disarm a bomb and started doing some work for Moira Brown. He first had to find food, from the Super Duper Mart. This wasn't so bad, except for the Raiders he saw in there. Luckily, Damien didn't have to fight them at all. He was able to get in, find food, took some weapons and ammo and other things he could sell and left.

It was also here that Bryan Wilks asked him for help. He told Bryan he would help him out, but needed to go get some supplies.

Tom was born in a famous, breathetaking memorial. The Jefferson Memorial. He was born in the basement. A few seconds after birth, his mother died. John, the son of a friend of Tom's parents who were born on the same day, came to be friends.

Three years later

Tom and John have their 4th birthday together. Tom pulls at his friend's hair and the vault residents laugh. Everything is well for the vault except well the average routine of the Fesak elders complaining again. The vault residents ignore them, even though they felt bad for them.

Four years later

Tom and John get presents but they also give a present to the vault. During the last two years, the best friends have been working on a Mr. Handy robot named Victor. As they present their robot, the entire Vault claps and contragulates them. Victor neatly cuts the chocolate cake into four pieces and then cut the four pieces into more pieces that the residents would eat. Tom and John smile at their success and so does everyone else.

Two years later

The two young men Tom and John both are given their Pip-Boys but not just because thhey turned ten, but of the acomplishments that they have done says the Overseer. They stare at their Pip-Boys but decide the only thing they need is their friendship.

Six years later

Tom and John take their Goat exams and both get the same results: A Therapist, for their understandment in every situation and their ability to answer kindly to everything.

Three years later

Tom is woken up by force by his friend, Amata. Amata explains John escaped the Vault and in the progress, Victor was killed by the Overseer. Amata also mentions that as he killed him, he laughed manicaly and blew up his office, killing him and the chances of leaving the vault now are 1%. Amata explains before the bombs fell, The Overseer hired the first five residents to dig a hole in the basement of the Reactor machine room leading to the Vault door. Tom would have to destroy the machine to reach the exit. Amata gave him her Railway Rifle and Tom set off to the Reactor machine. He defeated the machine and reached the end. At the exit, he finds John's body and a pack of Raiders fleeing from the scene. Tom get on his knees in front of John's corpse. He swears he will find the murderer and evenge John.

Drake, was always a strong built person both on the inside and on the outside. he never really knew what he was going to do with hhis life. he was never a goody two shoes and was always on the edge of being a delinquent, but the departure of his his father pushed him over the edge. he left the vault in the disquse of following his father but in truth he was leaving to make a name for himself. he got that chance in megaton after meeting Mr. Burke. he planed his move and took a while to decide what to do with his new life. he met Jerico at the bar and they became fast friends(no homo). the both left to tennpenny tower and detonated megaton. Drake and Jerico began making money by doing jobs for tenpenny. they gained a name for themselves and began adventuring the wastes. once the two reached D.C. they began looking for someone to constantly trade with. they met the people of underworld and Drake took a liking to Charon(once again no homo). he bought charon out of his contract and got him to follow him (killed dogmeat for two followers). the trio set out bounty hunting and doing odd jobs. they reached Rivet city and set up a trading partnership. after a month the team headed north and met the people of cantaberry commons. they set another trading partnership with the many caravans there. Drake and his companions moved west and arrived at paradise falls. the slavers took a liking to Drake and offered him a position. Drake accepted and began selling slaves as his primary source of currency. durring a job he obtained a red bandana which became one of his signature trademarks. in paradise fall Drake met Clover, he thought she was cute and decided to have her tag along. the four of them lived on for years getting closer to each other and working as a team. eventually drake decided it was time to create a company of mercenaries smaller than talon company but bigger than reilys rangers. he created The Phoenix Mercs and stationed his base at the once raider owned friendship metrostation. he hired the raiders their to aid him in his many jobs that needed to be done. this went on for months until one day drake went off on a buissiness metting at rivet city. Drake had a major argument with one of the council members about his affiliation with the slavers. Drake stood up and shot him in the head then proceded out the room. the rivet city council knew they had to do something about Drake or else the whole wasteland would suffer. they went to uncle roe and bribed him into revealing the location of the Phoenix Mercs. that night a group of rivet city guards raided Friendship station and killed all except Drake Jerico Charon nd Clover. the guards took the to the observation deck on the very top of Rivet city. they stood Drake at the edge and had fathe cliford read him his sins. with that done the head of security asked Drake if he had any last words. Drake replied "Nice try but it will take a whole lot more to get me" with that he riped out of his binding and stole the guards gun who was next to him and grbed the guard as a shild as well. Jerico and Charon did the same and the security chief looked on in dismay. Drake added "this will be last you see of me but not the last you hear of me, mark my words I will rise to the top of this wastland and deem myself king, just remember a Phoenix always rises from his ashes." with that he pushed the guard    away and jumped off into the Patomic river. he swam to tnpenny tower and scaled the side hoping no one would see him. when he entered his suite he gathered food food and water as well as guns and ammo. he tied his red bandana on his bed ost and left the tower and the wasteland altogether, never to be seen again until one day a couier popped up in the mojave wasteland looking for work and went by the name Drake Phoenix...
