FMS/Tales from a raider/FS-Leader1

From Create Your Own Story

The leader of the first band interviewed. His parents dies to a supermutant attack when he was 6. He hid and watched it all, as they raped his mom, the other women of the community. As they ate his dad. His mom, eventually, after they were done with her, and her body was already broken and lifeless. He watched the same things happen to his neighbors. His friends. Three days later, the super mutants finally moved on.

He lived for two years alone, surviving off mud puddles left by the rain, bugs found under fallen tree branches, plant leaves. Random scraps of rotting food left behind by one group or another.

He finally was caught when he was 8, trying to steal from a band of raiders. They taught him a painful lesson, but then enlisted him as a member of the raiders group. He rose quickly, learning to fight, learning to kill. While he was young, he was swift and agile. And smart, figuring out ways to kill. As he got older, as he left puberty, he developed into a large and intimidating man. Soon after his 17th birthday, he challenged the leader of the band, and lost. He was cast out, but he had learned. He found stragglers, formed them into a band. Small at first, it grew until it was one of the larger roaming bands in the wastes.

He made the band tough, and pushed them hard, culling the weak quickly, to either die, be exiled, or be sold as slaves. Women he took care of. His band knew not to kill the women. The last member to kill a woman died slowly and painfully at his hands. Not because he cared about women. They could hurt them. They could make them cry, make them bleed. He didn't care. As long as they were capable of bearing offspring, and of being able to take care of themselves (So not maimed or crippled), he didn't care what his men did with them. They were nothing but bitches, there for breeding and release of sexual energy.
