He snorts. "Never heard of em'. I'm what I call a 'free spirit,' and what CATO calls a 'menace to society.' And this is for me. I don't care what the unchipped get themselves into."
'Seems like a risky hobby'
He shrugs. "I've survived worse. Ever been shot through the eye at point-blank with a gauss revolver?"

You guys are awesome and mean so much to me. And mean so much to each other.

"Good for you!" He pats the seller on the shoulder and helps him up. "I have some sort of 'healing factor,' as they say. I can effectively walk off brain damage somehow. My bones get hairline fractures from every shot I fire, but they're about as hard as iron at this point. My body rots if I don't eat enough. I'm faster and stronger than anyone else of my species, but I'm constantly on the verge of life and death. Tipping me off the line in either direction seems nearly impossible."
*Ayo! Finally getting around to joining this. No chip, no glory...as they say.
Name: Gill Age: 42-ish...at least, that's what he claims. Factions: None. He's one Lone Ranger. Background:
"It's funny how money change the situation/miscommunication lead to complication." --- Lauryn Hill, Lost Ones
Gill knows what it's like to have it all. He was there, once. Top of the class, best all around. And then, he also knows what it's like to fall.
He was the thirty-fourth head War strategist under the Sol Empire. Set a record for longest in position, as a matter of a fact. And, during his tenure, things went perfectly. Perfectly, I kid you not. They captured Blackrain City, among other things!
But what he'd never planned for was what happened next. The cruelty that ensued. Sacrifice, arrest ---- yes, sometimes they were guilty, yet some weren't!
He couldn't take it anymore. He was planning to resign, to live a quiet life somewhere else ---- and then, they caught him. Out at night, meeting ---- with one of the worst Undesirables of all time, a crime lord looking for weaknesses in Sol construction. He fled, never to be seen ---- or heard of ---- again. Except by those in the Leonidas Line.
He now resides quietly, although not peacefully ---- his abode a tin shack, set aside from the tumult of the Line itself. His wheelchair is his only mode of transport ---- in the escape, he lost a leg, so he doesn't move much. He'll make you a nice pot of soup if you stop by, nurse you back up to health ---- whatever it takes to redeem himself. Doesn't mean he won't lay down a beating upon you if you try testing him.

They slowly nod. They remove their gas mask, revealing a rather average face. Freckles, red hair, pale skin. Traumatized, watery eyes.
