## **History**

### Early Life

Alexander was born in the year 4955, in a world where plants and animals are almost extinct, and technology is extremely advanced. Growing up fascinated with the technology around him, he aspired to become an engineer in hopes of one day making something of his own. Even in an advanced world, crime was still present, and one particular crime would serve as fuel for Alexander's goals. His father, a commander of an interstellar military force, had just returned to Earth to celebrate Alexander's 10th birthday, but on his way to the party, he was caught in a coup, which resulted in his death. When Alexander heard of his father's death, he was grief-stricken and furious.

Alexander began studying the various weapons and tools his father left in his room, slowly creating his own sets of tools and weapons. At school he became quiet and depressed, as opposed to his usual cheerful self. His friends tried to comfort him, but nothing seemed to work, so they left him. By the time he was 18, he had perfected his first combat suit, equipped with several gadgets and weapons. He flew across the city, stopping any crime he spot while trying to find who killed his father. He made a name for himself, taking down various coup members.

### The Defiants

It wasn't long until Alexander met other heroes and vigilantes who were opposed to the new government. The anti-government team, called the Defiants, was responsible for destroying many of the government's facilities. Alexander joined the Defiants, and together they were able to hinder the government's work more, driving them to a corner.

Many of the government's officials were either captured or killed, and the citizens became bolder as more officials were out of the picture. To counter this, the government sent their most dangerous member—an assassin by the name of Hellrider—to hunt down the Defiants and kill them.

Alexander and the rest of the Defiants tried to defeat Hellrider, but failed. Eventually, every member of the Defiants was killed except for Alexander. A fierce battle ensued, but Hellrider came out victorious. Hellrider then went to Alexander's house and set fire to it. In a panic, Alexander tried to enter the house to save his mother, but was blocked by Hellrider. The two fought again, but this time Alexander was easily beaten. His house had burned down, and his mother died in the fire.

A few weeks later, Alexander led several rebellion groups who were inspired by the Defiants. He would continue on disrupting government work while hoping one day he might run into Hellrider and destroy her too.
