Ok, here's my character's backstory. I have 3 parts to it. I know alot of people are doing this and I wanted to join in

Ok so, brief overview - John, my character, is part of the Resistance. He is an Ex-Security official who caught wind of what
the Security was trying to do with the people of The Ark. Now he is fighting for the good of the people instead of the needs of
the few.

Yes it's going to be very long.

And now ladies and gentlemen, Security and Resistance. My story.

Part I: The Plan

It was a long and hot day, as it always is on The Ark. John was doing a routine maintenance check on all the equipment, ammo,
and weapons, as he was checking off the last part of the weapons and moving onto the equipment, he overheard a conversation
between the Head Officer, Jack, and the CEO of the Security, Daran. John's normally not an eavesdropper but this conversation
was different than the old "what's the status on the armory?" chat. While listening, John overheard a plan to keep the civilians
and other personnel who lived in the shanty towns outside the capitol, out of the capitol. John got worried, for even though
he was an officer, he made very little money and had to live in one of the shanty towns. After the conversation ended, he
ran toward his friend and co-worker, Tom, to tell him the news. Before he made it out of the armory, Jack intercepted him.
"Mr. William, what a pleasant surprise. I was just coming to see you. Don't you live in Dransor? That old shanty town?" "Why
yes Jack, me, my wife, and my two sons. Why do you wanna know?" "Oh no reason... move along." John decided to skip telling
Tom and head straight home. As he got in his house he told his wife about the bad news. His wife tried to console him by telling
him that sooner or later, he'll be able to move into the capitol. After dinner, he went to bed.

Part II: The Betrayal

Same [censored], different day. John was doing another routine maintenance check when Tom came running down to him. "John! I need
to tell you something right now!" "What is it?" "Ok, so Daran has this plan to keep everyone in the shanty towns-" "Yeah, I
know. Go on." "He's gone on with it! He's invading Dransor right now!" "Oh my God, we have to stop him!" John and Tom went
to Dransor to try and stop Daran. When they got there, it was a war zone. Bullets flying, explosions sending shrapnel everywhere
John confronted Daran. "Daran, what the [censored] is going on?!" "Oh, hello John. I see Tom has informed you what is going
on?" "What the hell are you talking about?! Tom doesn't know any more than I know!" "Actually, that's not true John, you see,
Tom here knows everything about this and even was a kind enough spirit to give us your specific address." John was dumbfounded.
He instantly ran home to inform his wife and children about the doom coming. "Jenny?! Alan, Harry!?" He went into the kitchen,
it was too late. He found his wife with a bullet in her head and his kids in the same way. He collapsed to the floor in a heap
of depression and sorrow. He vowed revenge on Tom, Daran, and everyone part of the Security. He fled to his brothers house, for he knew
that the Security would come for him at his house.

Part III: The Change

The following days, John did all he could to prevent eh Security from taking the city. He came across the Resistance after his
brother told him an address to come to. They were devising a plan to get a vaccine for the dreaded Yelan Disease. John was
asking around for his brother and he came across a man in stolen Security clothing, his brother. He was explaining that they
needed one more Operative for the mission to be a success and that John was the only one with training, besides his brother.
He agreed to help them. He would be the one to sneak behind their lines and take them out one by one so his comrades could get
the vaccine. After the meeting, the plan went into order. And that's where our story begins.


Ok so, there's my backstory. Tell me what you think.

My backstory is the Refugee Journal Game thread. That stuff's intense.

I like yours - well thought out, you know exactly where your character is coming from, what he's seen, why he's fighting. Makes the meta-game all the more interesting.

Yeah I read the Refugee Journal, that was amazing how creative people could be. And thank you

Really good backstory there, well thought.

I lack such creativity. The most I have is that I am fighting for the security because if the rebels overtake the Ark and open it to the world, the population will outgrow the resources just as it did on the rest of the Earth. And that is bad. Also, anarchy in general is not good.

And that is my character's entire backstory... :confused:

Wait a second, if you wanted to post your backstory and wanted to "join in", then why didn't you just post in one of the threads?

Really good very good your story well put together

I couldn't find one.

allright ill bite i need info first.
how long have people been living on the ark like did people move there from other places or were they all born there.
hows the government there need really elaborate background.
and finally does the game start at the beginning or the middle of the rebellion

I was born under a restiance father and mother but when i realized that the restiance cause was wrong i ran away at 15 and came to Sargent Marjor Patrick Smith he adopted me a trained me in combat and the right reasons to fight. Thats my background story short and sweet and yours is nice :biggrin:
