Character's backstory : Robert Johnson
DIR By: RobertComan

---------------------------------------------------------
Far over the the rocky desolated mountains of the eastern USA, a
tribal community of hunters and religious people resides.These
particular humans are the remants of what used to be the farmers
and urban survivors from the East Coast.The name of the tribe is
"Wakulai" which translates to "Hunters" in universal
english.Every season, a ritual fight between the young takes
place, due to the scarce resources of food and to decide which
one of them will take the sole rule of the leader of his tribe.
In the early days of an summer a child was born within the tribe
and in the newborn ritual the parents gave him a name, "Kuluh"
which translates to "Survivor". From his childhood he was tought
how to orient using the stars and natural resources of the
wasteland, how to establish campfires and how to craft weapons
using normal material.He began his combat training as a child
from 13 years old when he went out hunting the creatures of the
wasteland.As he turned 18 years old, Kuluh was forced to fight
in the ritual fight to decide which of the young ones will
assimilate the power of the tribe.
Unfortunately, Kuluh lost the battle and was exilated from his
tribe to walk the wasteland alone.He used every aspect of his
hunter training and knowledge to survive as he was travelling
the east coast in search for a home.
It was in the eastern coast where he met the NCR and began
trading whatever he could find to survive.The caps were few and
the entrance to the NCR protected cities costed, but he managed
just for a brief time.Kuluh adopted a new name that he read in
an old book, "Robert Johnson" and finally began establishing
himself in the human communities.His visits in New Reno costed
him much and began loosing caps as a result of the gambling
addiction.In a matter of weeks he got evicted from his rented
shack.Left without a home, he left the east coast and set foot
to reach the legendary place known as "New Vegas". He travelled
a long road which took him almost a two years to reach Nevada
and along the way he encountered the Caesar's Legion which by
force took him and other wastelanders as slaves to work in
labour of the Legion.A good 4 months passed and Johnson was
selected for the bulk of soldiers to fight for the Legion.
He proved himself into the many little skrimishes the Legion had
with the NCR and raiders and he was respected along the slaves
in the Legion.
As the tenstion between the Legion and NCR raise, the Hoover Dam
was about to fall between the forces of them.An war was imminent
and every faction began building it's armies.Johnson was
selected to play a role as a soldier in the first battle of
Hoover Dam.Just two months before the First Battle of Hoover
Dam, Johnson deserted his post and ran without any equippment
and weapons from the Legion camp after refusing to execute a
slave and letting him go.
The Legion spent a few days searching for him but Johnson took
refuge in a hidden cave where he left to fend for himself for
days while waiting for the things to calm down.
The cave was a dangerous place where foul creatures such as
Nightstalks, Radroaches and many more took refuge from the
light.In days, as he spent surviving in the cave without a way
out of it, he organized his travelling route by drawing a map of
the USA, which he saw back in New Reno, in the sand to reach
Washington DC for a quiet life and far away from the NCR and the
Legion.
After a week of being trapped in the cave, Johnson emerged from
the darkness into the light and began to breath the fresh
radioactive air which he didn't felt since 7 days.
He looted a random truck and found a greyish old coat with some
ripped gloves, found some old food supplies and an unopened
nuka-cola bottle.Johnson enjoy'd every sip he took from it and
with a brief smile on his face he began travelling in the east.
Five years he explored the United States wasteland and it's
dangerous look-outs.Along the way, in the ruins of the Arkansas
state he found a young docile dog which he gave the name
"Arkan". Johnson and Arkan quickly established a strong bond as
they were scavenging to survive. Arkan and Johnson had nomad
lives, they didn't belong to a somewhat home, both of them. They
were "The Vagabonds of their lifes". In one dark morning, after
waking up in the camp Johnson settled up, he saw no sign of
Arkan. Johnson spent a week and a half looking for his dog only
to find out that Arkan was killed by raiders while keeping them
away from finding the camp.
With grief, he buried his dog and wrote on his grave a chant
from his tribe.
Johnson left Arkansas and set to reach Washington, he was now
alone again.
Following the route, he travelled north, reaching Nebraska then
North Dakota where he took a turn to the west in Montana then
finally reaching the West coast after his failed attempt to
succesfuly reach the East.He eventualy settled down in the small
state of Washington and reunited with the slave that 5 years ago
he refused to execute that let to his desertion from the Legion.
Barely surviving and needing fresh food, he began to resume to
low-standards action such as rarely robbing a random wastelander
in order to survive.
