Basic Info| Name: | «River Zastory» |

Bio| F A C T I O N »» Mostly neutral, but tends to like the Sphere for personal reasons. A B I L I T I E S »» River does not have any powers per say, but he’s extremely skilled at hand-to-hand combat. His grandfather was a soldier for the Sphere, and was one of the few masters of the combat style known as Garbell Commando – a skill that he then passed down to River. Practitioners of Garbell Commando rely on their fists, and often train hard enough to be able to block bullets, or even move their fists so quickly they create a shockwave and can land blows on their opponents without physically touching them. Having been raised on lessons from his grandfather, River is good at what he does, and might even have the skill to be considered a master himself. P E R S O N A L I T Y »» River is your typical teenage boy. He talks a lot of smack and puts up a tough front (only he does indeed have the skill to back it up), but once you get past that you realize that River… is kind of a dork. He’s easily excitable. Kind of like a small dog, almost… Get him wound up and he may have to knock a few heads to calm down. Or have someone to talk some common sense to him, but that’s a little more difficult. Not that he minds. He’s always out to prove himself – being a perfectionist he wants to refine his skills as much as he can – and will often pick a fight if his opponent has a reputation. He likes a challenge. Once you’re on his good side, though, he’ll be a loyal friend. He’s the type that will gladly fight beside someone, or cover their back if need be. He’s also like a dog in that respect – win his friendship, and you’ve got a friend for life. H I S T O R Y »» Blond-haired, blue-eyed River was born into an American family who had been abandoned in Japan by their own country, and forced to pick a side in a war that wasn’t their own. River’s father and grandfather became soldiers for the Sphere, while his mother held something of a desk job at the military base where they were stationed. River lost his father early on – so early that he doesn’t even remember his face. As such, his mother and grandfather raised him. Some days it would seem like the military base was the safest place in the world. River would play with other children, or take lessons from his grandfather (the latter of which he preferred), and some days it would be mass chaos – soldiers running everywhere with messages, news of new attacks pouring in, wounded people and machinery and super soldiers always coming and going. But, River learned to adjust. There was nothing else he could do, after all. Suffice to say, River had a pretty normal childhood… well, as normal a childhood he could have living in a war zone. Hs grandfather always warned him never to take that safety for granted, because it could all be gone in an instant. And wouldn’t you know, he was right. Things didn’t start getting dangerous until River’s late teen years, when the war escalated and even a military base could not be considered safe. Everywhere was a war zone, and River had to put his hard-earned skills to work just to survive. Somewhere in the chaos, River’s broken little family tried to flee the country, but River and his grandfather were separated from his mother. To this day, he still has no idea if she made it to safety, but his grandfather also taught him to have faith. River was 18 when the stalemate was called, but his grandfather had been claimed by the wave and was in a coma. But, in keeping with his teachings, River believes that he’ll wake up someday. Now, though, he simply does what everyone else does: Try to survive. |
