Backstory:
Ryan was born an raised in a vault, his mother used to work in the lab where she was researching "the outside world". His father was 18 years older than his mother, he used to be an engineer and mainly did small maintenance work because of his old age. When his father died from a heart attack, his mother found out she was pregnant, though she was already 46 years old. She prefered an abortion because it was unsure if she would survive a birth at this age, but the chief refused to let this happen because the vault needed to ensure it had future inhabitants. After his birth he was put in several years of training with his mother, teaching him about the general anatomy of the human body and the creatures of "the outside world". Knowing what the outside world could be like, Ryan was only afraid, What a horrible and dangerous place it was and he was shocked when the chief announced a plan to go out there after 20 more years in the vault. About 10 years passed and Ryan had developped into a doctor inside the vault, people would come to him with the simplest of diseases like a simple cold or just skin irritation, but Ryan enjoyed helping them and also wanted to comfort them which made people very relient on him in terms of their health. One day Ryan was called to an emergency, the chief of the vault had also suffered from a heart attack, Ryan rushed to the chief's common room prepaired to rescue his life but it turned out to be too late, the chief had already died leaving his mother in command as the eldest person
in the vault. The first thing his mother decided as a chief that day was that the exploration of "the outisde world" would be accelerated and would be realized before the end of the year. Crying over his first dead patient Ryan realized that every life can be over in the blink of an eye and told his mother he wanted to be part of the first team leaving the vault in the now liveable outside world, his mother accepted.
On the first day of the exporation they stood ready at the vault door. When the door was opened they departed to
inhabit and explore the ruines of the once great city overwhelmed with monsters and bandits. In the following years the exporation team managed to establish a base camp from which they tried to establish a new community in between all other already existing communities. But their knowledge of medicine came at a cost, their resources were getting denied allmost daily and most of their members already left the team for other "safer" communities. After they lost nearly all of their members, Ryan told the remaining members to also go find a new home. After not succeeding to find a new home with his mother they remained together traveling the city aiding people in need, in exchange for food, money or safety. And finally Ryan had to say farewell to his mother who died of old age during her sleep leaving him on his own. But Ryan was not willing to give up, he decided to continue his search for a new home.

Name: Kay
Age: 22
Appearance: Kay has a trench coat, . He has black hair, he is African American. He has black eyes. He is a skinny person, he's not very strong, but he is agile and is good with a rifle.
Ppersonality: A bright mind tainted by the wasteland,happily cynical, grumpy, and Proud. He never forgets what people do. Heis trying to find something worth fighting for in the Apple or something to invest in. He is willing to do anything to survive.
Back story
Kay was born in 2267 in a small town outside of DC with his Father, Mother and his sister Katlin.
.
The town was a small town and his family owned the general store, where many travellers came to buy and sell guns, foods, and more.
As a child, Kay enjoyed the warmth of the sun and game of tag. He enjoyed listening to stories about the prewar days from other townsfolk that were passed down from parent to parent. He also enjoyed annoying his sister, claiming "it was his job". He just lived to see how far he could push people before they cracked. He also hung out with the people around town.
He loved the prewar days stories. The flying cars, the machines, like cows that produced infinite beef. And the ease of life. People could walk into a store with printed paper from the terminals found around the wasteland and take whatever they wanted from stores. They even have a weapon named after it now a days. And it was all gone.
To have that power, to take the prosperity of man, was all Kay ever dreamed of. To lead an army into battle and to have the power to take man's prosperity of the wasteland, like New Vegas and the Citadel once more and to end all life on earth once more would be a fitting end to man.
Though he enjoyed his life, his parents were extremely strict. They demanded respect(even if they didn't give any back) and if you didn't give them it you'd be disciplined harshly.
Kay was expected to get up, clean his room, help his father in the shop, polishing the guns and melee weapons. Only then could he play.
It may not have seemed bad but with his mother there, it was terrible. A lot of times, she took out angers from various things on him. If caravans were running late, which they often did, he could bet his mother would be holding him back, criticizing every little thing, calling him names, cussing, breaking things just so he'd have to clean it up and such. He'd be lucky if she would let him go out for more than five minutes before bed and his father wasn't better either. He'd soon grow to hold hard grudges and resent his parents, though he was good at hiding it.
His sister fit like a glove in this, following orders and listening to her parents. Meanwhile, Kay was enraged(privately) and would have rage flashes in private for the rest of his life, where he became extremely angry and was extremely destructive.
While Kay did listen to his parents, he was subtly angry. He was passive aggressive. After all, he was afraid of his parents and it wasn't like he could just talk to them. What if they abandoned him. What would he do?
A solution finally came at the age of 10 when his father decided it was time to teach him to defend himself. Everyday, after he did his chores and his mother took over the store, his father taught him few things like to how to fire a rifle, and a few pistols (things he actually would need to know) and though those 8 years of training brought him and his father closer, it didn't make the grudges and resentment disappear.
Yet even with the friendship growing it still didn't help much. Kay was skinny and liked guns unlike his father who was bulky and more of Melee person.
By the time Kay was 16, his sister was 24 and lived in the town, though not with her parents and had made money off of the things she scavenged. She was still also working in the shop, and finally in 2283, she decided to help the family by getting an investment from her parents and opening a caravan to sell the items from the shop all over. And on a warm summers day, she set off.
She never returned.
His parents soon found out she'd ran off and abandoned them by the week when a few townsfolk found the caravan which returned with just the mercenaries who'd and were good friends of the family, guarded it and Kaitlin's journal book with a letter, that was left. Inside was one single entry in which Katlin spoke of her plans of abandonment in a form of a letter. She spoke to the mercenaries, telling them to deliver a letter to to her parents. Kay never found out what the letter said and he wouldn't ask. By the next day they were back to normal.
Regardless if what the letter said, Katlin left the family and neither of the parents wanted that to happen again. They made damn sure Kay would not do so.
So for the next two years, They worked him hard, criticized him harder and never let him off of work as if that how they'd get him to stay.
He'd taken Katlin's leave hard. Regardless of age, to him, she was the little sister and it was his job to protect her and... He failed.
He couldn't go on living, he was washed with guilt and it was too much.
On his eighteenth birthday, his father father gave him a trench coat, he'd been sold at the shop, a bag, a hunting rifle and a knife. Kay loved it.
That say, his mother and father said to him," Life is what you make of it, remember that." It didnt matter much then, but he'd remember that forever. It was strange the way his father was at that movement.
Late at night, Kay laid in bed, pondering.
His entire life was ridiculed with shame. On one side, a family that abused him on another, the shame of losing his sister. He didn't know what to do.
Then an idea spurred in his head.
Jumping out of bed, Kay grabbed the bag and dumped his knife, his rifle and threw on his trench coat. He was leaving. Grabbing the 2 snack cakes he'd forgotten he'd hidden in his makeshift drawer, he went through his window, which is on the bottom floor. After that, he just ran out of the town, avoiding anyone who was outside at the time.
For the next 2 months, he walked the wasteland, living off of his anything he could find. Some nights, he went hungry. He didn't meet a lot creatures to kill, other than two raiders, which he spotted before they saw him, he'd surprised them. ( which allowed him to retrieve another hunting rifle and pistol from them)
One day, he met up with a caravan. It was then he decided to come with them to the settlement.
The settlement was a small place and Kay was eager to stock up on some food and ammo. Unfortunately, when he did his packing, he wasn't careful. He'd forgot the big jar of caps for rainy days that laid in the kitchen on the table. He had no caps. Well, he did, from his Nuka Cola, and it wasn't much. Just 3 measly caps. But even after selling the hunting rifle, it still wasn't enough. It wasn't too bad though. He could go scavenging.
But that's when his life and luck changed. A man from the caravan he travelled with approaches him with a deal. He'd pay for the food, ammo and a room to stay in and Kay would travel with the caravan, protecting it. Raiders had become a major problem and they needed more mercenaries.
Kay agreed, and the next week, they set out. Kay enjoyed the travelling. And he decided to do this as a job. So for the next 4 years, he worked for the caravan He was earning caps and experience. The mercenaries, though cautious of him, had his back in attacks and probably saved him multiple times.
One day though, everything went to sh*t. It was a normal day of travelling, a few sales were made, when suddenly a large, organized group of raiders attacked. Outnumbered, the mercenaries fought back, but it was a losing battle. Emptying his rounds of ammo, into the enemies, it still wasn't enough.
Knowing they were screwed, Kay, dropping the emptied weapons, ran from what little cover there was away. He'd nearly die doing so.
Alone and lost, Kay cursed himself. And began to walk. He was going to die. He'd dropped his weapons in the battle and now, he was more concerned with the dwindling food he had. Maybe he could walk to a settlement that was close if there was one.
Walking the Wastes, he realized it would be injustice to kill himself. No, he just kept going. He needed to start a new life, a new home. Forgiveness, that wasn't Kay's thinking. Fool his once, shame on you, he'll never forget.
Fate was a funny thing. Originally, he was headed where ever but his feet led him to New York city, the Empire Wasteland. In actuality, they had been really close to NYC. A new home, a new start. Grinning, he remembered what his father said one night," Life is what you make of it, remember that,"
Oh he would.
