(First I'd like to start of saying this is my first RP story so forgive me if I get some thing wrong. second my grammar sucks so sorry for that.)

There is a fire burning in the middle of the floor where six men sit and tell tales of victory. The seventh man stands alone at the door facing out of a dark gloomy warehouse peering into what he thinks a dark gloomy world.

A voice calls to him from the group "Eriks come on share a story with us" Eriks is silent still staring out into oblivion. The young man turns back to the fire looking across the way to the men in the leather coats "Hey you guys have known him the longest can 't you get him to talk". one of the men looks up at the young man "some things should be left unsaid" he looks to the tattoo on the young mans arms "you copied those tats from Eriks didn't you. The young man glances at his arms "yea cool huh" "do you even know what they symbolize" that leather clad man glances towards Eriks "The tattoos of skulls on both of his shoulders represents weights that he must carry with him for the rest of his life and his after life. one his mother the other his little sister. The young man examines his tattoos closely and looks to Eriks still at the door. "What do you mean" the young man says "well thats not my story to tell you will probably never know" a voice rings out from the door "wait a moment" Eriks turns to the group "I'll tell you".

Eriks a usually quite man steps into the light of the fire Clad in a Crimson coat matching his under shirt and pants. His hair is long and blood like held out of his face by red goggles. his arms where he was ripped off his coat sleeves show his weight his tattoos and around his neck drapes a thick chain covered in dry blood.

He sits at the fire as it starts to die down a large muscular man nudges a small wild haired man siting next to him. a quick burst of flame from the small mans mouth brings the fire back to full strength. They all stare at Eriks with anticipation Eriks reaches into his coat and remove both of his hand guns he reads "Wife" from one gun and "Kids" from the other. "These guns belonged to my father" he studies his guns before putting them back in there holster "He was a gunslinger in the Malta group he was killed in a raid by" he cringes "heroes. they destroyed everything in the compound even the emergency teleporters, so when he went down with an arrow and on fire he was not revived. these guns were brought to me by Ezmov here" he grabs the shoulder of the Leather clad man next to him.

Ezmov Valance was training under Eriks father to be a gunslinger when he was killed. Ezmov was hidden in a underground bunker with other trainees who were not ready to fight heroes. after the battle Eriks father gave Ezmov his guns and asked him to deliver them to his son.

I never used to be good with a gun, I favored robotics i had hoped to join my father one day as a engineer in the Malta.
I would make different little gizmos and gadgets that I hoped would help him. my sister loved to see my new inventions she would be amazed by the things I showed her. One day when I went to visit my mother in kings row and show my sister my new gizmo I came across a women getting mugged I recognized her from some where but i could not remember where.

I sent my new invention after the mugger, my flying drone rushes towards him cutting his arm as it passes coming between him and the women. She runs away and the mugger gives me a cold stare as he jumps the fence. I continue on reaching my mothers house just as they are leaving "Hey guys where you going" as i run to them "we are going to your fathers grave to leave some new flowers". When we return from the grave we exit the tram and start our way home "oh i forgot my purse" my mother said i told them to go on that I would run back and get it.
I quickly retrieve my mothers purse and start running back to her house when I am tripped by a baseball bat. The Skulls had caught me threw me against the wall two of them holding me against it a man approaches its the same guy from before the mugger I stopped. "You messed with the wrong gang pal" wielding a knife in one hand "now its payback ten fold" they beat me with bats and crowbars for a few seconds and drag me into the ally I look up and see my mother and sister chained up in the corner. "Wait what are they doing here" I said with much fear in my voice "I told you ten fold they will pay for your crime against us" the knife wielding man starts toward my family "No, kill me if you have to but let them go they did nothing to you" the man stops "oh you will die but you will watch them die first".

One of the skulls yells stop theres a hero they all look up to see a hero clad in white and gold flying down. I yell "HELP! at the top of my lungs the hero continues towards us but then stops. he looks at his scanner saying to himself "hmm there threat level barely ranks a 7" I look up at the hero wondering why he wont come help. the hero turns and starts to fly off I yell "hey we need help" he just yells back its just some low rank thugs kid ....." i couldn't make out the rest all i could do is stare at him as he flew off. the knife wielding skull turns to me laughing "see no one cares about some no name little idiot like you" he steps on my hand "take care of them guys" he pulls my head up and holds my eyes open so I can watch them beat my family to death.

The knife wielding skull leaves and tells his men to finish me off luckily Ezmov and his brother Nick were in kings row at the time heading to my house so we could go to the club when they came by me getting beaten in the ally they quickly fought off the remaining skulls. I get up bruised and beaten and limp over to my family Nick cant stand to see them like that and left the ally he always like my sister but never told her so. I unwrap the chain around them soaked in blood and hold them. no tears come from my eyes they are burned away by the fires of hate I feel in my heart. I limp to my mothers house and retrieve my fathers guns that I keep there I tell Ezmov and nick to go home and get there weapons "meet me at this location" as i hand them a blood written note they look at it and instantly know what i wanted to do.

When Ezmov and Nick arrive dead skulls litter the ground outside the warehouse they walk to the door Eriks Reload his guns Ezmov and nick take hold of there Uzi's. They all take a deep breath then kick in the door. Ezmov enters to the right Nick enters to the left They fire off a spray of bullets in wide area in front of them Eriks Continues forward blood dripping down his arms over his gun. He stops pointing his gun to his right where a lone hellion lies beaten "he cries don't shoot I'm not with them" Eriks lowers his gun "I'm Laz Cort I've come to do what looks like the same thing your doing, I can help you" Eriks looks at him "how can you help me" Laz picks up his bag holding it up "I can make bombs and fire" Eriks looks at him and then looks at the door ahead of him. He helps Laz up "The names Eriks Zan and you can get me through that door" laz replies no problem "and make it big Laz" He smiles.

Eriks yells for Ezmov and Nick to get down Laz runs behind cover and a massive explosion rocks the warehouse making a large hole in the wall. As the smoke clears the skulls see the four men ready with steel and flame to tear them apart. The skulls Descend upon them in a large pack and are met by a flaming stream of fire from the maw of Laz he then throws his bag into the air over the gang Eriks fires wildly at the bag striking it causing a rain of fire to scorch through there ranks.

Eriks sees the man hes after and forgets his pain he runs after him tackling him to the ground Eriks pulls out the blood soaked chain and wraps it around his fist. "ten fold" is all he says as he pounds the skulls face blood splatters all over its a horrible sight . he gets up hair and fist dripping with blood he turns to the other skulls and unleashes an unholy torrent of bullets from his guns Laz starts towards him to stop this onslaught but is grabbed by Ezmov "hes in a crimson rage now nothing can stop him" Laz stares at him "Crim Zan" comes from his lips then he his left speechless. The remaining skulls run out of the warehouse and it is silent Eriks walks back to his groups he hangs the blood soaked chain from his fist around his neck. he falls to the ground unconscious Ezmov and Nick pick him up and drag him outside where they are meet by many police and longbow agents. They all go to the zig for a year then are released because not one skull wants to go up against Crim Zan after hearing what happened no one would testify.

So thats my story after all that I came to the rouge Isle you guys joined up with me and well you know the rest.
Eriks gets up and walks out of the warehouse the young man now looks at Eriks in a different way now and he looks to his tattoos now knowing what they mean. He puts on his jacket he doesn't think he deserves to have them on his skin.

Eriks stands at the waters edge outside the warehouse Ezmov comes up to him "you ok" Eriks answers "my vengeance will not be done till I find that hero that killed my family"


(so thats all i got hope its not too bad)
