-Fritz warning unwelcome guests

Closeup of Fritz

Fritzgerald is a profound, yet malicious biker with abilities to rapidly salvage parts and craft useful items and weapons with minimal tools. He is the founder and current leader of the Burning Souls, a gang consisting of former members of society inflicted by the Greyzone's initial wave of gang violence, in which their goal is to reclaim [certain districts of the Greyzone] and restore order.

## Appearance

Fritz is depicted as having a bulk type build with a larger upper-body mass. Assuming he's German, he has dark blue eyes, greyish blonde hair including bushy eyebrows and his mustache & beard combo.

He mostly wears a European biker gang attire: a modified biker's helmet with goggles, red bandana with white skull painting, blue denim jacket, black striped t-shirt, black fingerless gloves, grey work pants (sometimes his belt is visible), and brown work boots.

## Background

Fritz at a young age caused a fair amount of trouble (at either an orphanage or a quiet neighborhood he was raised in) until one day was kidnapped into a series of grand theft auto gigs and forced to smuggle autoparts to get by. Eventually some goons took notice of his new skills (his habit of putting together salvaged parts) and exploited him to build fully functional cars.

He managed to escape by building himself a motorbike in discretion and slipped out in the darkness, only to end up in the Greyzone but nowhere else to go. A local apprentice mechanic took admiration of Fritz's bike and inducted him to his family where they helped him turn his skill into a profession which led him to open a bike shop.

A decade has passed, business was booming, and he got together with his new comrades in booze and bar fights. Eventually a rise of a gang war within the City eventually caught Fritz's life in a crossfire, destroying his business to rubble.

Depressed, Fritz works with his friend's mother at her bakery to get his life on track, where he reflected on his actions and developed a positive mentality.

One day a few ugly goons stepped in and threatened them demanding for "taxes", Fritz turned stubborn and stood his ground in refusal despite being outnumbered. He barely managed to survive the engaged conflict thanks to his...comically large muddler (usually the one to grind wheat seeds). Their officer gangster that stood outside watching wasn't happy about this and began torching their bakery. Fritz managed to save his mother-in-law from the fire while it destroyed the whole property. The mother was devastated but Fritz's thirst for vengeance grew large.

[Under revision] ...with his craftsmanship he turned kitchen tools into weapons of war, weapons into mistakes of nature.

?-Fritz basically made some of the lesser gangs look primitive in their style but they challenged him anyway only to evolve his threat level gradually

?-Former victims looked up to him, some even joined his ranks in support of his ideology of a proactive society (i think)

?-Soon forming a clan, he conducted raids on gangs involved in the destruction of his and his colleagues' life foundations, taking back what's lost

-His legacy is still seen in the smoking debris within the surrounding streets, a message to all those that dare take anything from the family of Burning Souls (formerly "Road Burners")
