i am dedicating a whole thread to all my various character stories with characters of various apparent ages and sizes. so i don't clutter this subforum with stories of seemingly similar shoehorned characters. some characters are quick and easy replacements such as my small women. they are easy replacements for fallen characters.
first story to start the thread, i am going to share the shared backstory of a brother and sister i played, the brother dying shortly before his sister took his place.
"Mjiolnir" Clive Turnpage is a man of 24 years from the Post Apocalyptic Wasteland of the united states. he was first chosen to teach at a schoolhouse in a village built from the Ruins of Sparks Nevada at the age of 15 years old and he only got to teach for three years when a group of raiders led by a one eyed fat man burned down the school he taught at, killing the other faculty members, capturing and enslaving the children to be sold, and leaving him to watch. worrying what would happen to his 10 year old sister Owen who was too sick to attend his class that day.
for after nursing his younger sister in the smoldering ruins, he handed her a .45 caliber double action colt maelstrom revolver that was hidden behind the glass and took a sledgehammer that was used to break the glass. he left her to go on a crusade against the faction of raiders that burned down his school, unaware his sister would eventually pursue him as a trained medic 6 years later and try to stop him from his suicidal errand, eventually replacing him.
for 6 years, Clive became quite a strong and hardy warrior, quick to cave in the skulls of every raider he saw with his sledgehammer, earning the titles of "Mjiolnir Clive" and "Thunder God Clive" named after the sound made when he caves in a raider skull with one blow, he is but a wanted vigilante outlaw. in a face to face duel with the one eyed fat man who burned down his school, he fought to the death, wounding the legendary Boss known as Pig but not before collapsing dead to the stray bullet that hit him. he sent the group of companions he traveled with to deliver a letter of apology to his younger sister on his behalf.
when Owen recieved the letter apprenticing in medicine in a town not too far away. she vowed to replace him, to become her brother's replacement, but she told herself that she had no ability to avenge her classmates, but she could provide healing and succor to those whom were wounded fighting Pig, her only regret being she failed to stop her big brother's suicidal errand.
Owen joined Clive's former companions and became his replacement, but she could not bear to use his sledgehammer, she was a doctor with the pistol he handed her. her role was not that of the warrior, she was only 16 and wanted to actually live. knowing her brother would hate it if she suffered his fate. she asked the group to take her to the site of his corpse.
with no flowers to place upon it, she buried him with his hammer. "i cannot be another Clive." "i will be Owen." "there are many who destroy but few who rebuild." "i shall follow your old passion of rebuilding society, but i cannot avenge you."
so Owen sought to take over as the old Clive she knew and loved as her brother, Clive the Schoolteacher that wanted to rebuild society, not Clive the Outlaw who caved in Raider Skulls with a Sledgehammer. at first, she was devastated, until she realized her brother was blinded by grief, taking a vow to bring smiles and kindness to the grieving as best she can, vowing to be a light in the darkness that was the wasteland. though she didn't follow up as a schoolteacher, she did follow up as a healer, with knowledge of technology, and the social skills to foster morale in others.
after 2 weeks of adventure, she found she had to take her first sentient lives. the lives of morlocks. morlocks she was raised to percieve as cruel inhumane monsters that prey upon human flesh. but she did it to save her own life. she got a rush from this, a rush to adventure more, a desire to make the wasteland a better place in other ways.
i actually played both of these characters. and well, they were kind of built together. both of them are kinda pushing veteran tier. Owen Started as a "Sidekick" before becoming a full on player character. i don't mean the sidekick edge, i mean NPC ally that became a PC.
