Skull, born in the ghettos and into a broken family. After Skull's deadbeat father left for good, his mother constantly bounced from man to man, hoping one would be a father for young Skull. No one ever did, they only took advantage of Skull's mother and him. One month, Skull's mother was pregnant and the father ran off like the others. Skull's mother loved her little boy and did her best taking care of him. Months passed and Skull's mother had a girl. While their mother worked as a maid, Skull and his little sister stayed home with Skull's mother female friend. Outside, they would play baseball with the other children until night fell. Skull's mother decided to stop looking for a man and devote her time to her children. Life was hard growing up for Skull and his mother and sister, but they were together. One year when Skull was seven, his mother was arrested for stealing 100 gems at the homes she cleaned. Skull's mother was falsely accused but no one listened to her Skull knew it was the young boys of that household who stole the gems and Skull's mother was the one they pinned the blame on. At court, Skull's mother barely had a chance and was sentenced to 80 years in a prison far away from the land. Skull and sister watched as their mother was being dragged away as she screamed for her babies. Skull held onto his crying little sister's hand, looking to the side, Skull saw the police coming him and his sister. Skull and his sister bolted from the room and outside. The police came after them, but Skull and his sister ran. They were not about to be put into foster care. Skull and his little sister ran until they crossed the border, never looking back.

Months later, Skull and his sister lived in the shabbiest part of town alone. Skull stole and swindled people while his little sister begged in the corner, close to Skull. Skull's sister stole a pink bat for herself and a chain for Skull to defend themselves. Skull and street boy often got into fights for money or for food as Skull's little sister watched. Life was hard and their poor happy family was broken. One day while begging, Spider Rose was walking by with Snake Bite and saw the two kids. Slowly, day by day, Spider Rose managed to get Skull and his sister to live with her and Snake Bite. Skull saw the boy he fought with was living there. "Punk!" the boy yelled at Skull and they started beating each other up. Spider Rose stopped them both. "Apocalyptic, that was very mean. Be nice to your friends," Spider Rose said.

Oh, Skull was not Apocalyptic's friend.

Years passed, and Skull grew up with his wild sister, Apocalyptic and other kids. Life was still hard but better now that Spider Rose and Snake Bite came to their rescue. Skull told Spider Rose about what happened to their mother and how they use to live. Spider Rose was sad for them and promised that their mother will see them one day.

One night during their "shopping", another gang came up and began to bother Skull's sister. Skull was annoyed because he told Snake Bite to watch her. As Skull approached them, the men punched Skull's sister, Snake Bite shot one because he was threatening Apocalyptic and another one of his kids. The gang members began fighting and shooting at each other until the police began shooting at them. Skull tried to get his sister but she was shot in the head. Apocalyptic grabbed Skull and told him to run because the police were coming.

Many of the gang members were killed or taken away. Snake Bite was shot and killed.

Back home, Apocalyptic and Skull were yelling at each other for what happened. Apocalyptic blamed Skull for getting Snake Bite killed because of his stupid sister, Skull blamed Snake Bite because if he had been watching out, none of this would've happened. Apocalyptic and Skull began punching each other until Spider Rose tasered them to stop.

There was nothing they could do. Skull's sister was killed with Snake Bite. Skull was filled with rage and sorrow for them both, but not Apocalyptic. Back at the docks, Skull found the pink bat under the boxes.

Years later, Skull returned back home to see the friends of his mother. One woman welcome Skull with open arms when she saw him after so many years. Skull and the woman talked before bringing up the topic about Skull's mother. The woman told Skull that his mother was killed by the female inmates years ago. Skull was shocked. His mother had died in that prison where she didn't belong. The woman gave Skull a letter from her. Inside was his mother's handwriting saying how sorry she was for everything and how she loved them both. Skull's mother said that when she gets out, they'll be a family again. Skull said goodbye and left.

A week later, the accusers of Skull's mother had been found brutally tortured and thrown onto the highway, their broken still bodies in large garbage bags. No one knew who did it. The woman who Skull met said nothing.

Skull never returned to that land. Back home, Spider Rose asked him where did he go. Skull shrugged and said: "Throwing out the trash."

Spider Rose felt sick.

Skull grew up into adulthood with Apocalyptic but still was not friends with him. He only saw him as someone to work with but never befriend.

**Quotes**

"Goddamnit, you didn't have to shoot him!"

"Why?? Why must we suffer!? Why am I losing everyone I love? Do you Deities like seeing us suffer like this?! Do you sit there and watch the world and their creations hurt us?! What did we do wrong?? Do you hate us for being created by man and not Loyal? You! You, Apocalyptic! You killed him to save yourself! He was desperate for a better life and you killed him! Why, why, why!? It's not worth being a Deity! Seeing how you shot Racer to save yourself instead of helping him, I know we're better off being Disregards than being like you! God dammit all to fucking hell! Oh, my poor brother, my poor Racer . . . It's over . . . It's over . . . Sleep in peace . . ."

*"Just taking out the trash."*

"I will not obey you!"

"Your question was true... I can finally answer it... yes..."
