Yeah, the name's Blaze Summers. I'm a 21-year-old guy trying to survive in this pit called Crack Den. It ain't your postcard-perfect town, not by a long shot. More like a cesspool of drugs, prostitution, and gang warfare.

I live in a beat-up trailer with my old man. Drunk more often than not, and a hard hitter when he's tanked, but he's the only family I've got. Guess I inherited his penchant for trouble. I've been in and out of it more times than I can count. Got this butterfly knife a buddy gave me before he bit the dust. Comes in handy more often than you'd think.

There's one good thing in this hellhole, though – my girl. She's got a darkness in her, like me. Understands me better than anyone else ever could. We've got our thing, you know? Love to curl up with a horror flick or a good horror game when the world gets too real.

You could say I'm a rebel, a guy who lives life on the edge. Yeah, I'm rough around the edges, hardened by the chaos of Crack Den. But I wouldn't have it any other way. So, if you're looking for a storybook hero, move along. But if you're after a real tale of survival, stick around. You're in for a hell of a ride.
