## Summary

Devonte "Devon" Callahan is the leader of the Wasteland Resistance, and anarchist cult organization that spreads throughout most of the Wasteland. He is almost unanimously adored by any who support the cause, and worshipped like a god-like figure, or a messiah. Those within their cult believe that Devon was gifted to them by the gods, and would bring about their liberation from poverty. Those outside the group tend to think that he is a madman or a threat.

Despite his popularity, Devon is an extremely secretive person. Not much is known about their personal life, and instead his story is told with myths and legends. He keeps very few people close, and always keeps note on how best to rid anyone who he even suspects would betray them.

### Powers

Devon has the power to manipulate light waves, which extends to mulitple people or just one. Powers are not common within the Callahan family, and he uses this to his advantage.

With their ability, Devon has made it so that people would see the world in inverted colors, or have had their vision taken from them entirely. He can use this to make someone feel as if they are going insane, or to make someone feel as if they are seeing a vision from the gods (adding to the mythos that they are a god-like figure).

## Backstory

Devon Callahan was naturally extremely righteous and driven from childhood. His late grandfather was the founder of the Anarchist group and his mother was now the leader. However, her methods were more pacifistic than he preferred. Though Devon made his grievances clear with his mother, he wasn't taken seriously because of his young age.

Because of how controversial the family's political stance was, Devon was not allowed many chances to socialize during his childhood and teenage years. One of the few places he was allowed to travel alone was a local abandoned park. There, Devon met another boy who was about 4 years older who introduced himself as Cade.

Both Cade and Devon were very secretive by nature, and they never pried into each other's background. But for some reason, both boys just seemed to naturally click together. They were able to rant and vent able their problems and mainly, their dreams and political ideals. While they disagreed on many things (Cade thought that the government was selfish and needed to give more to the disenfranchised while Devon believed that the government was corrupt and needed to be brought down and rebuilt from scratch), they still held much respect for each other. They encouraged each other to do what they could to make a difference in the world. Devon pushed him to become a radio host and lend guidance to a wide audience, and Cade pushed him to become the new leader of the Anarchist and to enforce the ideals he was so passionate about.

Devon took this advice to heart and went on a mission to fully realize his plan for the Anarchist and the world, which began with taking the spot as the leader of the Anarchist. His mother at the time was about 50-60, so Devon used his powers to begin manipulating her vision in order to make the public believe her mental condition was deteriorating with age (changing the colors of common items and making her vision go entirely white or black at times to almost blind her). He would also insert himself into meetings and public situations to make himself look more involved and informed. Eventually, at age 19, Devon Callahan had taken over as the Anarchist leader and his mother was forced to retire.

Callahan continued making constant public appearances to seem like a "man of the people" type of leader. His young age appealed to the younger generations and his eloquent speeches appealed to those highly educated. He was well-loved by the entire organization and almost no one openly opposed him.

Callahan kept very few confidants as the leader. Those he worked with knew little about his personal feelings or life. All relationships were kept purely business, and with the way he took power from his mother, Devon had planned on how to take down each and every person he kept relations with. He could be considered borderline paranoid with the number of plans and backup plans he had.

Due to the amount of new work he had, Callahan and Cade rarely talked, but they both silently agreed to not tell each other's secrets. They would both be able to take down each other in an instant considering both their social statuses.
