History: Billy's family was one of the first on the Ark after it was built. His father William Blackthorn, was one of the main engineers responsible for the completion of the Ark. His mother Lisa and father lived on the Ark while it was being built and on the eve of it's completion Billy was born. Being born and raised on the Ark, he had the priviledge of being able to enjoy a very pleasant early childhood while the world around the Ark fell silent. He would often spend the majority of his days playing with his robotic toys. When the toys would malfunction William would go through great lengths to disassemble and explain to Billy the inner workings of each device. At a young age Billy started to take apart the toys himself and fix them all on his own. He even bagan to assemble and invent completely new toys and devices from simply correctly combining components and parts of totally different devices. This talent that he developed for plastic machinery would help him later on.

Once the flood of immigrants showed up, a perticular founder who was at odds with William took the chance to ruin his good name. The Founder framed William of murdering his best friend and punished him by relieving him of his social class and throwing William and Billy into the newly forming slums built by the immigrants. Although instead of having young Lisa suffer in poverty he took her for his bride within a few days against her will after punishing his former rival. At the age of 10, Billy had his first look of what life was like beyond the Ark.

For years Billy suffered along with his father under the oppression of the Founders. For the next seven years William nurtured his son's talent for engineering new devices and started to teach him how to make water purifiers, Irrigation systems, plumbing, renewable energy sources like rechargeable batteries, and how to build devices from scratch using junk parts from local garbage yards. Also while growing up he picked up skills from playing with local ruffians and built a taste for violence and freerunning for the sake of feeling alive in a rather dismal ghetto.

Finally the day came when Billy had to make a choice that would change his life forever. While making one his routine trips to the garbage yard with his dad they were stopped by a security patrol. The leader of the patrol was the local enforcer known as "Cross" who spent his time in the slums beating, [censored], and burning whatever he wanted. With his entire body covered with hideous burn scars. Being one of the immigrants in the first wave he came from Russia. Within the first few months of him being here. He became a local Heroine pusher as well as a user. When he made some enemies they decided to make an example of him by covering him head to toe in lighter fluid and burned him alive. Due to the effects of heavy heroine usage he managed to stomach the pain and survived the terrible event. After a few years he was hooked to every kind of pain killer on the market making him null to any sort of pain or hurtful sensation. He virtually could not feel any sort of pain. Not only did it leave him physically scarred but mentally scarred as well. Now with a fiery red layer of scar tissue and no nose he commanded a terrifying presence. He returned to the slums to singlehandedly wipe out all those that had a hand in his deformation and degredation. His reward for sweeping the streets of its scum was a job as the local security enforcer. He chose his own men to work under him which were basically thugs that he worked with in the past. Instead of enforcing the laws he bent them to his will. Turning the ghetto into a playground for him and his underlings.

Billy knew the man as did William. They were questioned as to what they were doing with the materials. William answered with the truth, they intended to help there own shantytown by putting together plumbing and produce clean water for them and their neighbors to use. After William spoke Cross silently paused before laughing his ass off. Then he ordered for both of them to be restrained. Billy dazed from being brutally beaten watched as they burned his father to a crisp. While his father sat their screaming and burning the secuirty men taunted Billy with a fire exstinguisher telling him that if he could break his bonds; he could still save his father, but it was no use. Billy was to weak and hurt to free himself and sat watching his father become a smoldering skeleton.

Later his friends found and nursed him back to health. Once he was healed he enlisted the help of his friends to exact his revenge. With the help of some of his sneakier friends he acquired weapons from the security, as well as begged and borrowed from the underground resistance fighters who only allowed him a few busted weapons which he quickly fixed. With the help of his friends he created makeshift boobytraps and turrets in an abadoned shantytown. After weeks of preparation he had one of his more agile friends lure Cross and his gang into the trap. Soon Cross's gang was triggering IEDs, breaking tripwires that triggered emplaced weapons, and tripped sensors that activated turrets. The entire gang was quickly wiped out except for Cross who escaped severely wounded. With the loss of his right arm and legs Cross was quickly disarmed and torn to peices by a crowd of all those he had hurt and tormented. His body parts were paraded all around the Ghetto. Billy had achieved his revenge.

The resistance quickly noticeing Billy's potential invited him into their ranks. His lack of respect to authority except his father suited the resistance just fine. His quick witted demeanor won him the reputaion as a smart mouth. No more than a talkative young punk to the Resistance he served his purpose as one of their most valuable engineers; constanly finding new ways to enchance their weapons and building new more advanced technologie for their turrets...well as much as he can with the resources at hand. Being widely popular among the locals of the slums he took on the old legendary nickname of "Billy the Kid", and remains one of the most hated enemies of the Security force. His only goal in life now is to help the resistance fight its way into the Security's own sector, to regain his childhood home, and rescue his mother from the Founder that ruined his life, and then help the people that became his family in the slums.
