**Alex Basset** was a former professional MMA Fighter turned Leader of the Vigilante Razor Bats Gang in Little Europe, Night City, California.

## Background

Alex was born on June 4rd in 2048 to Norwegian Mother and French Father, Hugo and Astrid Basset, they originally moved to San Francisco in the early 2040's to escape a devious Cult they were apart of and fled to America to start fresh new lives. Both worked as farmers for a winery until they were forced to leave several years later after Alex's father Hugo accidentally killed his boss over some missing Eddies in 2055.

The family moved to nearby Night City where they made home in a small apartment complex in Little Europe's Northside where Hugo worked at a nearby bar and his mother worked as a waitress at Tom's Diner in Watson. Pretty soon the family was being bombarded with threats from local gangs for paying extra for "protection" and were close to being broke.

By the time Alex was 13 he started going to a local boxing gym called Melvin's Gym, where he started to learn Boxing from a former professional Boxer, Leo Crawfield. Alex was getting bullied at school and by some local kids. But by the time he already started enrolling in Boxing Classes he got Eddies from working as a Janitor for the Gym to pay for classes he soon used his new boxing skills against any bullies and made himself a small reputation as a tough guy. By the time he was 18, he started learning other Martial Arts like Kickboxing, Judo, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and started his amateur MMA Career working for smaller local promotions in Night City to help with his family's bills.

On one operate occasion he had gotten into a tussle with some Slaughterhouse goons after they tried to extort more money from his father and beaten all 3 of them up badly. This had gotten attention from the Cyber MMA, where they wanted Alex to join their promotion. Seeing the opportunity to earned more Eddies he took the offer, but he needed to get some Chrome. After flying into Night City's richest District, Westbrook the promotion hired a Ripperdoc to give him some upgraded Chrome for his future career.

He was installed with Gorilla Arms, Synaptic Signal Optimizer, Sandevistan MK1, and Bionic Lungs. The Promotion was already wining and dining Alex as they saw him as huge cash cow. For 4 years Alex remained Undefeated Heavyweight Champion for Cyber MMA, he had a record of 38-0 with 29 of them by Knock Out and 11 of them in the First Round. He was a star athlete and managed to get his parents off the streets and into a fine condo in Heywood. He was earning millions of Eddies, he had millions of dollars worth of clothes, jewelry, cars, and spent most of his time either training or out in nightclubs or strip clubs.

But unfortunately his time was about to run out, he had to face a new opponent someone who had been breaking records in Cyber MMA History, a former Animal Gang Member named Reese "Lion Heart" Lagado who was head to toe covered in Chrome and had a reputation of being a dangerous criminal for the Animals. Once their fight started it was immediately Alex's toughest fight ever, after 4 grueling rounds Reese knocked Alex out in seconds of the 4th Round losing his belt for the first time.

Alex's career was over, once he had lost, his agent and the promotion dropped him due to his loss but also the amount of damage he took. Alex's MMA Career was done, he had parted in his fancy condo and sold his jewelry and cars for booze, drugs and women and eventually was broke again. He had returned back to Little Europe, his parents were disappointed in him, they loved the rich lifestyle he gave them and were furious that he lost it, this sent Alex spiraling into working as a Bouncer for a Nightclub called Afterlife which he used the money for to pay for drugs such as Stim, Blue Glass, and Smash.

Alex would recover from this when he saw a woman being attacked by a couple of Wild Things gang members and before they could "ruin" her he jumped into action killing both of them by beating them to death, The woman thanked Alex and offered him to go home with her, he took the offer and the two slept together which started his new life path. Pretty soon he started working as a Vigilante in Little Europe stopping local criminals and gang members soon enough he would recruit other locals in joining his gang he called Razor Bats, named after his favorite animal and the weapon of the Wild Thing gang members used on him when he first became a Vigilante.

Nowadays, Alex is a local hero in Little Europe, he and his gang of other rough and tough street kids, help stop the gang activity in City Center. Alex is recovered from his addictions thanks to his girlfriend Cara, the woman he saved, and opened his gym called Basset Boxing Gym
