==Background==
To understand Eggsby Pemberton 3rd or Rocco, we need to start with the parents, Royston Pemberton, father, and Bryonie Pemberton, mother, who were rich socialites
Royston made millions supplying raw metals and oil/natural gas from mines he inherited from his father, Eggsby Pemberton 2nd, for the war efforts in WW2. This solidified their family into the upper echelons of high society. Royston met Bryonie at one of the famous masquerade balls the insanely rich in England threw. Now Bryonie was a bit of an atypical socialite, uninterested in parties and would rarely attend. When present, she had very few interactions with people and would often times read books on philosophy and extinct religions, poetry and in rare occasions military tactics. She graduated from Cambridge in 1953 with a doctorate in philosophy. Here is where things get interesting; Dr Bryonie and Royston got married and had their only child, Eggsby Pemberton 3rd on February 1, 1956. After this event, turmoil starts to set in.
In British high society titles mean everything, and being how Eggsby’s mother had a title and his father did not, tensions started to rise with the two families as they fought over whether Eggsby father was good enough for his mother. Royston also started putting added pressure onto Eggsby to follow in his footsteps, while his mother read him philosophy and espoused thinking for one’s self. This constant pressure from both sides went on for many years until around 1968, when Eggsby's life changed in a most profound way. One of his friends snuck him a record of this new band he was listing to, “The Slumdog Vandals”. This American punk rock band was helmed by none other than Jack Boot Jerry. This music preached about non conformity and originality, freedom of thoughts and ideals, toppling the system, free trade. All these things seemed so alien and foreign to Eggsby, but they resonated with him on an extreme personal level
Eggsby threw himself into the England punk rock scene, listing to the Deviants, Pink Fairies, The Doctors of Madness, the Stranglers, Cock Sparrer  and lastly the Slumdog Vandals and any other American punk he could get his hands on. Whilst on his punk crusade, Eggsby’s father was getting increasingly agitated with his behavior. Not because of its effects on Eggsby, but what it was doing to their status in high society. His mother tolerated it, but was not wholly on board because of the volatile influence this type of philosophy had on Eggsby. She thought in philosophical terms and forms, not actual everyday thought and manners.
Eggsby’s father was ready to send Eggsby to the military to curb his rebellious nature, but on the day of Eggsby's departure to boot camp, his life went in a different manner. Both of Eggsby's parents asked him into the study for the final farewells. His father shook his hand abruptly. Lifeless and cold, his mother hugged him and whispered into his ear, “I hold it to be the inalienable right of anybody to go to hell in his own way,” a quote by Robert Frost. She slipped an envelope into his pocket and as Eggsby left the house and got into the car, the chauffeur winked at him and said “Quite a lot of sun out today, Sir.” It seemed weird to him cause this was England, Land of Perpetual Rain and Glum. It hit him then that he wasn’t going to military school; the chauffeur was taking him to the airport. Eggsby looked in the envelope and found it filled with $1,000 and a plane ticket to America, specifically Los Angeles, California. Eggsby turned around in the seat to see his father gone and only his mother standing there watching him leave. That was the last time he ever saw Royston & Bryonie Pemberton.
In America, life was rough. The first night off the bus from the airport, Eggsby was beat up by the Crypts who stole what money he had and left him for dead on the street. Later, he was approached by Jericho, a lieutenant for The Dreamers, an LA punk street gang. Jericho helped him up and gave him a place to stay, a bit of work and some purpose. Eggsby, now Rocco, joined the Dreamers as a low level street punk. Rocco worked his way up the ranks by running packages and doing security with a bit of B&E.
Rocco was established in the gang when he met Raine, a junkie girl who was being attacked by some men. Rocco drove off Raine's 6 attackers and brought her to Jericho. Jericho, knowing how hard the streets are, warned Rocco to just leave her alone, but Rocco just couldn't do it. Rocco straddled the line between friend and loved one to Raine. This was much of Rocco’s life: gang stuff, punk rock shows, and bailing Raine out of trouble. Jericho, Rocco, and Rain became quite close until the day Jericho was fatally shot by Raine. Raine was in one of her withdrawal sessions and she was convinced Jericho was holding. She wanted it, so she took his gun and threatened him for the drugs. The bad part was that Rocco had just filed down the firing pin on that specific gun because Jericho said that it sticks sometimes, so he inadvertently helped in his best friends murder.
Rocco couldn’t be mad at Raine. She was a junkie that’s what junkies do, and they had already been through so much. Rocco never told anybody what really happened, just that a rival gang caught up with him. Afterwards, Rocco drove Raine to a rehab center and left her there. He started distancing himself from gang life as well. He still does an odd job for Joy Boy, or Marco the Hammer, but other than that, he's focused on checking on Raine and the punk rock scene.
