Rory Walsh

## Description

**Rory Walsh** is a Citizen to Los Santos who arrived on 8/4/2021. Rory Walsh is played by Rerabox.

### Appearance

Standing at 7'6" and weighing approximately 196lbs, Rory Walsh is a pale American male with a slightly toned body figure. Rory has some neatly maintained facial hair that's colored Light Blue like his hair. His eye color is Pink and the cause of his unusual hair and eye color is due to a very rare birth defect called Albertsons Syndrome.

### Early Life (Pre-Los Santos)

Born in the year 2000 on February 15th, Rory was raised into a Low income household in New York, his parents Jackolyn Walsh and Thomas Walsh tried their best to support the family, which was slightly easier due to the fact that Rory was their only child. Growing up, Rory was always a well mannered and behaved kid, rarely causing issues for the family both in private and in public. Despite how little money they had, Rorys parents tried their hardest to save up money to provide the best life for their son, able to enroll him in a decent school district. Wanting to help his family, Rory made sure to get good grades in school in the hopes of landing a job that could let him support his parents. Socially, Rorys school life was not easy, having caught the attention of a few bullies who preyed upon him for being a "goody two shoes" and for being a very sweet boy.

Despite all this, Rory kept his head held up high and avoided the bullies as much as he could, eventually graduating with high marks. Now that Rory was out of High School, he had to find some sort of employment while he was applying to colleges, having landed himself a job at Walmart as a greeter. He kept this job for a good couple of years before being accepted at Columbia University. Ecstatic that he could finally pursue a degree to help out his family, Rory packed up his stuff and went off to college, where he worked hard to make sure he got good grades... that is until the disaster known as The Great Split.

### Rory During The Great Split

Rory was hard at work studying, in his dorm room, for an exam he had the next day when all of a sudden, the room began to shake and tremble. Rory knowing it was an earthquake, but having never experienced one, quickly got onto the floor and curled up to prevent himself from getting hurt severely. Looking between his legs, he saw the other half of his dorm room suddenly collapse, screams and car sirens going off as the shaking eventually subsided. Getting up slowly, he cautiously peeked his head out of the new hole where half of his room stood, seeing that there was a large gash in the Earth that ran seemingly endlessly in both directions. Rushing to his door, he opened it up and entered the hall where parts of the ceiling had collapsed, some students he had known trapped under the rubble, some were dead and some were seriously injured. Rory took the initiative and proceeded to assist those injured, helping to lift the rubble with the help of others who weren't as injured. Rory was scared, partially for himself but mostly for his parents who spent most of their time home ever since Rory went to college and started sending them money to help them out with groceries and the such. After making sure everyone was fine, and after seeing the authorities come by to assist with the injured and scared, Rory set out on a long journey to get to his parents.

Along the way, Rory encountered many problems and situations that warranted his attention, incidents such as: A man who seemingly needed help but pulled a gun on Rory and robbed them, a mother and father who were trying to push a fall pole off their pinned child, and such other incidents. it took him a couple of days but he eventually reached his parents home. However, upon arriving, Rory saw the worst case scenario: the crack in the Earth went right through the middle of their house, the entire building gone. Rory, teary eyed pulled out his phone and began to call for them, only to find his Mothers phone sitting just on the edge of the crack. Breaking down, Rory felt an immense pain from the loss of his family, one that continues to haunt him to this day, could he have stayed home and possibly prevent his parents from dying? Rory didn't know if he could, but it was too late now.

Seeing that his fathers RV was still intact in the driveway, Rory approached it, keys in hand and got in, turning on the ignition and driving to a ferry that would bring him to Los Santos, where he would begin his new life.

### The Oil Rig Job

Now having been in Los Santos for a couple of days, Rory had plans to go camping on 8/10/21, wanting to spend some time in the serene forest to relax a bit, that is until he had seen an advertisement that was hiring worker to work on an Oil Rig. It paid $15 an hour and, with no current employment, he figured he would join the work effort to get paid. Upon arriving, he saw 12 other people that consisted of regular workers and supervisors, Rory felt like this would be quite easy despite having no knowledge of electronics or machine maintenance.

Upon arriving at the Rig, things seemed like they were going fine, a few minor hiccups here and there, that was until a fire broke out. Rushing with 3 others, Rory helped put out the fires with them, quickly quelling the problem... soon realizing that the other 8 people had fled using the only dinghy they came in. Rory was now stranded on the Oil rig with one of the supervisors, a female, and an Indian fellow.

What came next was cruel fate as, when night came, a terrible storm hit and the situation became dire. Stuck with limited supplies and no communication, since the storm was interfering with the comms, Rory and the others had to keep the Rig working as to prevent a fire and to prevent an ecological disaster. It was tough and Rory found himself sharing a blanket with the Female, finding her presence to be rather calming despite the Indian guy losing his shit, Rory found himself developing a crush on her! Using a couple of flare guns they found in one of the two trailers, they shot some flares into the air while the supervisor tried to radio the shore using the long range radio.

Hours passed and they used the last tube of grease on the pumps, soon realizing that if help didn't come they would most likely perish. The supervisor pulled out the flare gun, loaded it with the last flare and shot it up into the air. Minutes passed, then suddenly there was another flare that shot into the sky. Everyone, including Rory, rejoiced as a police boat was seen heading towards the rig, soon docking at the bottom of the rig and letting everyone get on board. Once back at the shore, everyone thanked the police for rescuing them and all those who stayed behind on the Rig got helicoptered to Pillbox, where they received treatment. Rory smiled, glad he made it out of there alive, soon departing Pillbox once he had been fully tended to. Luckily, Rory saw the female co-worker at the exit to Pillbox and made small talk, but Rory would soon feel like an idiot for not asking her name, since she soon left.

### The Lizard Man Hunt

It was just another day in Los Santos, the cops were driving by, paramedics were busy saving lives, just the usual happenings. To Rory, he figured this August 17th in 2021 would be just another day to relax in his Camper, right until he met up with Samuel from the Weazel News team and his camera man. Rory made some small talk with them, seeing as how they wanted to see if Rory had done anything heroic since their last encounter, when a man by the name of Dave Witt came up with a colleague of theirs. Dave Witt explained how there was a 'lizard Man" in the mountains and they wanted the Samuel to record it for proof. Having nothing better to do, Rory figured he would humor the nut job and went with them, picking up a few more people including a snobby sounding gentleman and their security. Together, they all grouped up and drove up to the mountains along the right shore of Los Santos, leaving their vehicles at the base before hiking up.

With Rory not being the most athletic guy there was, hiking up the mountain soon became hell on his legs as he grew tired rather quickly from the steep incline. At this point, Rory found himself wondering if any of this was worth it since nothing interesting was happening, there were no "sightings", no "footprints", nothing! He figured they would at least plant something to make it seem like a creature like that existed! However, just when Rory was beginning to doubt his choice, he suddenly saw something in the distance, the camera recording it and, on playback, he saw... a Lizard Man! Rory couldn't believe they really existed, now he was pumped to find this thing, hearing some people state they wanted to capture it so they could sell it for a lot of money, others wanting to outright kill it.

Now the hunt was on, everyone in the group was destined to chase and deal with the Lizard Man however they wanted, the snobby dude constantly saying they shouldn't kill it, which was weird given by the fact that they didn't seem like the type to really want to capture a creature like that. Regardless, they all kept pushing on to capture the creature, constantly going in different directions when it would appear in the opposite direction. At this point it had started raining and everyone was getting annoyed, now having to deal with the ground being slippery on top of this steep mountain. Suddenly Rory had to answer his phone, as it was something important, so he looked down at it and answered it, unfortunately missing the part where they caught the Lizard Man. However, the radio frequency they were on became chaotic as people were yelling at each other. A confused Rory asked for clarification before he saw the Weazel News guys coming up the mountain on their way to head back to the vehicles, to which they informed Rory that the "Lizard Man" was actually the son of the snobby guy!

Once back at the Vehicles, Rory saw Sam and their cameraman struggle to get into their vehicle, before being helped into their vehicle. At this moment, the others got back and assaulted the cameraman who was knocked down, Samuel getting away successfully. Turns out the reason for the assault was because the Weazel News crew had attacked the son after finding out that they were just wearing a costume. With the Police and EMS called and arriving, the snobby guy grabbed the camera mans earpiece and tuned to that frequency, making some sort of deal that Rory didn't catch. With all that done, Rory rubbed his temple from the annoyance and drove off, annoyed but also happy that he got to do something fun, even if it was all a hoax.

### The Haunted Gameshow

Who doesn't want to earn more money? On the 18th of August in 2021 Rory looked at his bank account and noticed how low he was getting. Ever since arriving, Rory has been unemployed and had been looking for a stable job, participating in fun stuff with cash prizes as a way to at least get something. Well that day, Rory had been driving around Los Santos on the hunt for something to do when he saw an ad for someone looking for contestants to participate in some sort of show... with a cash prize of 125k to whoever wins! Seeing this, Rory knew he had to enter, at first wanting to win.

Upon arriving at the large house that would be used for the contest, Rory noticed a slew of people who also came to win the prize money, only making Rory realize he had to work harder to get first. Meeting the gentleman who was the host of the show, he soon learned, along with everyone else, that they would also be winning cash for each challenge they completed, which caused Rory to relax a bit since he could still win some money without being in first. Already, the host stated that they would be doing the first challenge, which was to skydive onto the boardwalk at Del Pierro Beach, something that seemed easy enough.

Upon arriving, Rory was a bit nervous due to the fact that he had a small fear of heights, but if it meant he could get closer to the large prize at the end, he was eager to do it! Looking around, he noticed that half of the people who came to compete were absent, only a good 5 or 6 contestants, including him, were present at the helicopter site. Rory figured they got cold feet and they slowly loaded onto the helicopter, going in two groups, Rory being in the second group. It was an easy enough challenge and upon landing, everyone was given 4k for completing the challenge, which already made Rory 8k richer since he also got 2k for entering the contest in the first place! Up next was a race to a weird looking sculpture on the other end of the beach, first place would get 10k while the others would get a smaller amount. Upon hearing "Go!" Rory began to sprint, glad he took a recent Training Course with some Ex-Military members, sweat forming on his head as he just kept running, soon doing a lap and noticing that he was first! Once everyone else was back, Rory was given his 10k and the others were given a much smaller amount.

At that point, they all were to head back to the house to get some eat and prepare for the next challenge, so upon getting into a Limo with the other contestants, they soon arrived back at the home and began to eat. However, someone screamed and alerted everyone that there was a bloody pile of body parts on the second floor. Everyone rushed up to see and saw the mess along with a bull skull in the upper living room. At this point, the contest got more dangerous as everyone was freaked out, people began to suspect each other, that was until one of the contestants suddenly reappeared after disappearing once everyone left for the helicopter. Of course he was the most suspicious since he just got out of prison, I mean, who wouldn't suspect the felon? Well, with everyone grouped up, nobody strayed away from each other, some people trying to leave, only to find out that the exits were blocked with metal, preventing anyone from leaving.

Rory was startled as he stayed close to people, not wanting to be next on the chopping block. Suddenly, a question came to Rorys head and he approached the host, asking them one question: Did you do any looking up on the house before you rented it? Turns out, that the host mentioned that there were murders in the household before they rented it. Hoo boy everyone was pissed, how could this guy rent out a supposedly haunted house? Just when things couldn't get worse the felon, after being assaulted with accusations, said that while everyone was gone, he invoked some evil spirit, which only fueled the anger of the others. Stuck in this house, someone was smart enough to call for some help, the cops on their way.

All they had to do was make it till the cops arrived and they would be saved! Heading back inside the house, Rory would begin to pack up his stuff, walking out to the others before a man in all black suddenly appeared, freaking out everyone. Aiming their weapons at them, they soon ran through a door and disappeared, more body parts being found. The next half an hour passed and the familiar red and blue lights shone outside of the house, the cops calling the Fire Department to cut the barricade at the gates, when someone broke into the sealed up garage, finding a bed which seemed to be where the killer was living. More time passed and eventually the Fire Department arrive, cutting open the barricade on the front gate and providing an escape for people, but not before the cops questioned everyone. Upon questioning Rory, a naked man fell from the roof of the house, stating that this was his house, Rory not really thinking much of him since pretty much everyone else was inspecting him, so he figured they would tell him, which they didn't.

Once the questioning was over, Rory and two others approached the host who was on the phone with an unknown person, all three of them demanding the prize money for the trouble the host could have avoided if they did any sort of checkup on the home. Of course, the host fled as Rory had heard of them meeting with someone in Sandy, to which Rory didn't follow since he got held up by the cops. Wanting to put all this behind him, he got in his car and drove off.

### The Grandparents Gift

Rory did not expect such a large sum of money! All his life, Rory never knew who his grandparents were, his parents never talked about them and Rory figured they had passed away at that the memories were too painful for his parents to talk about. However, Rory still wanted to know about them and find out who they were, so, on the 29th of August in 2021, he did some research on his friend Babs Moira Williams computer at her home. It was a bit tough, there were many results for the last name Walsh, and Rory figured he would never find out about them... until he found a website for a business ran by a Jeremiah Walsh, a multi billionaire. Upon looking it up, he found out they were an older gentleman and sent them an Email, he had to try... right?

It took a bit but Rory eventually got a Email back for Jeremiah who confirmed that they were indeed Rorys grandfather, stating that they had thought the bloodline ended at Rorys parents. At this point, Rory figured out that his parents never told their parents about Rorys birth for reasons Rory didn't know at the time. He talked with his grandfather who explained that Rorys parents and them didn't have a good relationship, thinking differently about how they should act both in public and with their money. Rory believed more on his parents side that you had to be humble while his grandparents believed more in treating others like peasants. Rory chatted with him for a bit before he stated that they would send Rory a "Gift," not disclosing what the gift would be. Rory hesitantly agreed since he didn't want them to feel like he was entitled to something. hanging up, he waited till the next day which is when he was told they would send him the gift.

The next day, Rory was contacted by his friend Babs Moira Williams who stated that she would be presiding over the legal matter. Meeting at the Yellow Jack in Sandy, she had a briefcase with her and brought him to the second floor. She advised him to sit, who stated that the gift in question was a whopping 295 Mil! To add onto that, she stated that the property value for his now deceased parents was 5 Mil, meaning Rory got 300 Million! Out of breath, he was ecstatic at the amount of money he was gifted and he began to tear up. Given the paperwork, he signed it quickly and was given a note at the end with floral print from his grandmother. The note had his grandmothers phone number on it, and he called it up once Babs Moira Williams ended the meeting. Talking with her, she promised to send him her address and Rory promised to visit her once he flew out of Los Santos for the day.

### The Death of a Family

It was just supposed to be a nice day for Rory, one that he could enjoy without any hassle. Still relishing in the mass amount of money that had arrived months ago, Rory figured he would spend the day at Legion Square, after all it was a beautiful day to just take in the rays. Little did Rory know that he was about to receive some shocking news, so shocking that it would lead to him disappearing for a bit, albeit against his will.

Within the months that Rory had spent catching up with his grandparents he began to warm up a tiny bit to them, however he could definitely see why his parents kept him away from them. Whenever they would go out to lunch they wouldn't tip, they would make comments about people who did not have a good financial status, and other similar things like that. Rory realized that while they were they only family he actually had left, perhaps it would be best to distance himself from them a bit, so as to not have their rich attitude rub off on him.

A phone call would come to Rory from his grandparents, he figured it was probably them asking when he would be visiting next time and so he figured he would just get it over with and picked up the phone. What he heard was not what he expected, it was his grandmother who had sounded frantic. She would be talking about how people were trying to come after them, people they had many enemies with over the years, they would mention how they were in their panic room trying to hold back the invaders but they were starting to cut through the door.

A bang would be heard as Rory heard a gunshot, his grandmother screaming bloody murder as she had been in tears. Rory could only tell that his grandfather had been shot by the words his grandmother was saying, a second gunshot ringing out afterwards. Rory couldn't believe it, his grandparents, the only family he had left, had been killed and Rory heard it all happen. Hearing the phone move about, he heard a strangers voice come over the call, the stranger telling Rory that he would see them soon and that he should think about his next move wisely.

Rushing home, Rory would begin to pack his things and call up people from his contacts, asking who would be able to hide him for a bit, his friend Joker ( Jack ) Napier getting a couple others together to bring Rory to a secluded cabin in the forest up north. Keeping his phone off, he figured that would be enough to keep him safe, only to eventually find out that was not the case. A week had passed but soon enough someone began to ask about him in the Dark Chat. Obviously nobody told them anything but they were able to ping Rorys phone since Rory never removed anything from it, which led his grandparents killers right to his location.

Rory had been sitting on the couch of the cabin, wondering how long he would have to stay here, right before he saw something break through the window of the cabin and start a fire. Getting up, Rory backed from the fire, which was now spreading, and proceeded to rush out the door as the cabin became engulfed in flames. Now outside, Rory saw 3 individuals, all of whom had been masked to hide their true identities, the leader of the three coming up and pinning Rory against one of the nearby trees and holding him at gunpoint. They introduced themselves by their assigned names and told Rory why they killed his grandparents. His grandparents were the ones responsible for causing the The Great Split, the very same one that killed Rory parents as well as their own parents. They had formed up a way to get back at them, and after trying to bankrupt them and failing, they resorted to the last choice they had left: Murder. They told Rory that they had their eye on him but if he tried anything, he too would go missing. As a sing of good will, they forwarded what remained in his grandparents bank account to his own through a fake name over a period of 3 months. Right when the cops came, they fled and Rory was left there in the woods with the cops and a burning cabin.

### The Rise of Flux

Following the last transaction to his bank account, Rory realized that he had become a multi-billionaire over a couple of months with money from his murdered grandparents. He now had a choice, he could sit back and relax on the ass-load of cash he now had, like his grandparents, or he could try to do something with it, one that could help out people, and thus he formed Walsh Robotics, which soon changed its name to Flux. His goal with Flux was the following: To invent life changing tech that could be used for the betterment of Humanity. With his immense amount of cash, he hired some people to make a website for him and he even paid locals to work for the company. With this new company, he needed people to help out, and so he recruited the best minds: Ruby Construe, Nathan Valis, and William S. Crumplebottom. With everything in place, Flux was able to operate properly, and within the year, they managed to do many amazing feats!

### Where is Rory Walsh?

It was a cold day in Los Santos, a single image file from Rorys CCTV Camera would be sent to Ruby Construe and Nathan Valis showing him standing in front of a whiteboard with a variety of items written and attached to it. It was a bit hard to make out what was on the image but the sudden arrival of the image file aroused caution for Nathan Valis. Upon arriving at his place, Nathan would find signs of a struggle from the very same room that the photo was shot in, the whiteboard a mess and destroyed with a single note written underneath the bed.

The note had described that Rory was looking into various events that led him to San Andreas, his results showing nothing that correlated with his actual memories. The note had cut off abruptly, which caused Nathan to forward the information to Rorys friend Bagman!

Many weeks passed with no sign of Rory and no clues as to where he was at, that was until a series of pings led Ruby Construe and Nathan Valis on a trip across the state. 6 different pings all pointing towards one place: Mount Chilliad. Due to availability, the only person available to actually save Rory was Bagman who quickly drove up to Chilliad to where Fluxs mountain base was located. inside, he had to get past multiple turrets that were active, which proved to be a breeze for the hero.

Entering a room, he would notice Rory with a helmet on their head within a glass chamber, the helmet connected to a large device with another individual manning the controls. This masked figure unveiled a shocking truth to Bagman, that this person had been fabricating memories and implanting them into Rorys head. His parents death, The Great Split, it was all fake and now? Now this mysterious figure was planning on erasing all of Rorys memories from the moment he entered San Andreas so they could transport them elsewhere to start over.

When probed about why they were doing this to Rory, the figured stated that he needed someone to test out this invention on, a device so powerful it could fabricate memories in an attempt to see if a fake life could be made from lies, and it proved to work for the longest time. Sadly though, it all began to crumble when Rory began to doubt the authenticity of said memories, leading the figure to kidnap Rory and start over from scratch.

Bagman knew he had to do something and attempted to shoot the glass, which didnt shatter due to it being bulletproof. Bagman tried desperately to look for a way to get into the chamber, but was unable to, the figure leaving while Bagman was distracted. The hero tried to go after them except that the figure set the device to automatically erase Rorys memories. The chamber opened up and Bagman was instructed to enter a series of commands to cancel the action, all while a series of androids began to shoot at him. Under fire, Bagman took out the invading androids and proceeded to free Rory, who was unconscious.

"Self Destruction Sequence Initiated!" blared over the facilities intercom and Bagman knew he had to get out quickly. Flinging Rory over his shoulder, he began to run as the timer began to count down. Upon arriving at the long tunnel leading outside, the timer got down to a minute and luckily for the duo there was a motorbike parked nearby. Getting onto it, Bagman proceeded to drive down the tunnel, the timer counting down closer and closer to detonation as they sped through the winding tunnel, driving out the entrance as the timer hit 0 and the facility was engulfed in flames.

Now that they were out, Bagman drove Rory towards Pillbox and got Rory admitted. The doctor stated it would be a bit before Rory would wake up but at least he was safe.
