Backstory Triads;
A promising engineering student, specializing in new age vehicles ranging from personal vehicles to drones. He graduated with honors and was promptly hired into a security company. Shortly after completeing his initial training in the company it was attacked and burned down. When the attack began the security room was struck first, an incendiary bomb engulfed it in flames. The explosion set the building into a panic, keeping his head clear, he hacked into and logged into the buildings camera security system, before being kicked out of the system by another user, he was able to identify the attackers. They wore Triad colors, realizing his dilema his feet started to make for the nearest exit. Running into a strike team he was promptly shot, the bullet pierced his right eye and he hit the ground hard, darkness enveloped him.
Awakening, a bright light pierced his left eyelid, with effort he opened his left eye and shifted it at his environment. When it finally focused he noticed it was not a hospital. A nurse arived promptly trying to calm him down but he was struggling. Realizing he could not see out of his right eye, he tried moving his toes and fingers, they all worked... except his right fingers. He then atempted to lift his arms slightly, the nurse was about to inject him with something, As the needle entered his body he noticed no feeling in his right arm, before passing out he managed to turn his head to the right. His eye widenend in terror right as the sedation took effect, his right arm was gone.
Waking this time on que, a doctor and a well dressed man stood infront of him. The man was holding a portfolio reading it and looking at Jinjing (Tyrium's name). The nurse walked by and glanced at Jinjing as she left his view. The man said "Can you hear me?". Jinjing nodded and the man quickly replied "Good, good." the man looked back down at the portfolio "Normally I would have left everyone dead as we raided that complex". He closed the portfolio "But your skillset and talents... can be of use" He smiled then states "Having saving your life, implanting you with some cyber and bioware". Reopening the portfolio "We replaced your arm, your eye." He laughs slightly. "And some other things." While grinning he states "I expect you to work for me, to pay off this debt, but what pricetag can you really put on a life" He continues "serve me well and perhaps you will have a future, if not well." He looks straight into Jinjing's eyes "I'll blow your fucking head off with the cranial bomb we implanted" He continued harshly "Your old life is over, Jinjing Tao is dead, contact anyone you used to know or try to run" He laughs slightly "Well I think you get the idea."
This was the birth of Tyrium, but not the death.
Backstory Rio;
Recently earning his freedom from the Triads, he was banished from Hong-Kong in the process. Tyrium, smuggling as much of his property as he could, decided to make a fresh start. Rio de Janeiro was his desination, far as he knew it was as good a place as any. The cost to transport his belongings was harsh and unreasonable, however he was determined to have a clean new life. Looking for honest work using his skills was hard to come by. Mostly finding the odd freelance jobs in security and some mechanical work, noone would entirely trust someone with seemingly no history in Rio. Perhaps they were right, perhaps he was a fool to try to live... to really live... free.
As the months passed like days, half a year already passed. Unable to continue paying for the high standards he was accustomed to in the Traids, he panicked. Against his better judgment he took a loan from a shady local named Goril. He gave him the Nuyen with a bright welcome smile, assuring him that as long as his payments were on time, they would have no problem. Payments arrived on time... for a few months... this is when things took a turn for the worse.
Having to live in his vehicle, like some damn junkie, he often ponders on the terms he agreed to on his loan. They seemed reasonable... but digits on a comm message seem so small when compared to living in Hong-Kong. Soon enough he knew he would have to run the shadows yet again... at least this time he will run them for himself. Right?
