SO TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF:
Ben is a Bronx-native. There were no secrets within his family what kind of work his father did besides running a car-shop. He was a gangster. Most his fathers friends were gangsters, both his fathers brothers were gangsters too. Everyone Benito grew up with had some ties to the local gang.

As he got older, things changed, the old gang that had roots way back to when their ancestors were living in southern-Italy were merged with a bigger gang that was unifiying mobsters throughout the city. It was about this time that Benito became "made". The feeling of pride quickly vanished as his father died shortly after that.

And like most tragic events in a person's life, it had a great effect on Benito. He turned into a grown man during that period. He met his current wife, Angela and got his first child, Maria. They married just before she was born.

Now, eight years later. His family resides in the upper-manhattan part, like every other captain of the Overlords. A second child was added to the Bombardini-family, a boy named Alessio.

Not far away from his home lives his mother who he couldn't dare to leave behind in the Bronx-area, he visits her almost every day.

In addition to his traveling backpack filled with... well, the bare minimum one needs to truly survive in the wilderness, he has an over-the-shoulder bag filled with all of his bullets and an assortment of gun-maintenance items. He keeps two shotgun shells in his left-front pocket, and a handfull of .308 Winchester in his left breast pocket.

SO TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF:
Raised on a farm in Pennsylvania by his mother, she taught him all she knew about farming, shooting, and fighting, all of which she learned from her father. In an effort to be the man of the house, David over-compensated on the manly-quotient he had seen in what few movies they had around the house (mainly, Dirty Harry pictures). This made him especially rebellious as he grew older, and he tended to get into fights he shouldn't have gotten into.

Thankfully, Mama raised a tough li'l boy.

David ended up being more bully than righteous protector, but he did it all in the name of being strong and appearing strong to protect his mother. Things didn't turn out well however, when a roaming gang of wannabe-mafioso tried to terrorize the town. David talked back, and even fought one of the younger members of the gang, but was swiftly beaten nigh to death by other members before his mother stepped in and killed one of them. In retaliation, they found them at their farm, repeatedly raped and killed his mother, and dragged him along to use for additional sexual pleasure before selling him.

Upon arriving at the edges of what remained of New York City, David killed three of the hostage takers and fled, along with his mother's custom 1911 (that had been taken at the time of her murder). He grew up hard, and became a tough for one of the local gangs, earning the name "Hacksaw Dave" as he gained a reputation for using a hacksaw as a torture device. He also kept his mother's 1911 at his side, but he never used it-- he somehow felt what he was doing was wrong, and that using the gun to do what he was doing... would somehow stain his mother's memory.

Eventually, David fathered twin daughters with a hooker he had tried to turn straight. He had planned on taking her back to where he grew up, and start a life away from the drudge and horrible. Things didn't work out as they were supposed to, so "Hacksaw Dave" became a single dad. He dropped the Hacksaw moniker, found his old home, and raised his girls: Emma, and Anna.

Life wasn't so bad, and he did the best he could, being an exemplar over-doting and over-protective father. Unfortunately, however much he tried, you can't escape the filth of the city. Drugs especially found their way out to his patch of land, and his girls got hooked, hard and fast. Nothing he said or did could derail them from this path of pleasure-seeking self-destruction. And then they found Euphoria.

Emma OD'd. Anna left for the city to become a prostitute to continue getting her fix.

After a bout of depression, David was hit with both revelation and near-divine rage. Taking his mother's .45, he tracked the local dealer and blew his brains out with the gun. He then proceeded to kill all other dealers in the area, one by one, slowly and surely, making his way closer and closer to NYC. He plans on finding his remaining daughter, and taking her as far in land as he possibly can.
 
dude, what was wrong with the history? It looks fine to me. You're accepted =P
 
I should've said this earlier; I'm not planning to have my man being involved with the scene happening at the club or in the city taht evening. My opening post will start the morning after. So I'll wait for the story to progress to that time. Is that okay?
 
Yeah, that's totally fine. Looks like everyone is set with posting, so I'll get a post up later tonight or tomorrow. :)
 
All right, so the post is up in case no one has checked it out yet. The next day, I assume, will be coming soon. With high increase of pollution, it's really difficult to tell if it's day or night.

Information about the Overlords will be coming soon and will be posted on the first page with the character list and the information about the drug.
 
So, Whos up to post>?
 
anyone can post really... I'm waiting for myrn to respond to my character... I think Imp or mos were planning on posting.

But it's a free roam, there's no posting order (at least I don't think so), so if you want to post be my guest ^^
 
Alright I can reply to Kitty and Seiji, so i'll have one up tonight.
 
Awesome, just read your post.

I think Torsty may have to change the timing on his post to prevent any confusion. xD

Or I can find a way to tie it all together...hmm...
 
Please do not be upset, but I will ask you eliminate my character in some way.
 
Ohhh...no problem, no problem. Is this for a side-plot? Or is general life getting in the way? :|

Actually nevermind. Saw your thread in the general, so I understand :)
 
Ok, So what should we do with Kitties Char>?
 
one of the gunman popping up and releasing a shot...which accidentally hits the girl...

As an Aside...I've posted..finally >.>
 
heh, that will work.

I'll have a post up later tonight or in the morning. I want to talk with Tortsty to see what hes doing IC, since it looks like hes running the overlord operations.
 
That's exactly what I was thinking. One of the gunmen pull off a shot right as he dies and caps Kitty's character. Make it a headshot! =D
 
This works. If anyone wants to post the scene, be my guest. Otherwise, I'll include it in my next post. :)
