All American Man
It had been a long struggle at home. Nick had long been hated by everybody from his home town, but his
parents were very well liked, and were generous with their considerable wealth. As a result, people tried to
like him, but often failed. Nick was a sociopath, and he embraced the role. The only child of James and Jane
Bradley, Nicholas Bradley could have been anything. He was certailny smart enough. Unfortunately, his
sociopathic nature, and his parents' tendency to just give him money to get control of him led him to become a
scary guy, someone who liked to get his way no matter what. His father had died a few years ago of old age,
and his mother's health began to decline not long afterward. About two months ago, Nick had to help his mother
sell their family home and help her move into a nursing home. Reluctantly his mother encouraged him to go out
in the world, as she hoped that he would be able to be "cured" by life experience. That's where Nick's story
in Hathian begins.

April 15, 2011

As Nick entered the city he soon realized that this wasn't his nice hometown anymore, and to make people
realize that he wasn't to be trifled with, he'd have to do more tha just look tough. he started walking
around secluded areas, looking for somebody, anybody to take advantage of. he was very well dressed and
groomed, as he found that it caught people offguard. Finally spotting somebody outside of the diner he began
one of his favorite acts. He started limping, messing up his shirt "H...Help" he said as he approached her "I
was mugged" She saw right through this though, and called him on it. Not being one to pursue futile efforts,
he admitted it a nd endedu p having a conversation with the girl for a while. He rented a room at the motel
and decided to take it easy. These people were smarter than the people at home. he decided to just hang out
a bit, and observe.

Into the Void

Boomerang
Part 1: Sharea

After hanging out for a while he decided that he'd reformulated his plan enough to achieve his goals here in
the city. He was going to recruit a gang, and be a crime boss. It ususally worked well in the movies, right?
he figured. So he started looking for shady figures. And there she was, Sharea Nightfire. Just standing
there along the side of the street. He figured he'd try to take advantage of her, but once again realized
that she wouldn't be easy at all. Instead he decided to try to recruit her. He introduced himself, giving her
his real name. The only person in Hathian who he would give it to. He used vague words, and caught her
interest, and he gave her his business card when they were done.

I Stole Your Love
Part 2: Lauren

After talking with Sharea he was feeling confident and decided that he was going to go have some "fun". He
walked down to a populated area and began working the crowed. Finally, he spotted two women standing on a
corner and smiled. He offered them a meek "Hello", hoping to appear weak. He introduced himself as the first
of his fake personalities, "Eugene", and they introduced themseles. It was Ellie, somebody who he would
encounter later in his journeys, and Lauren. He had to figure out a way to get at least one of them into a
private place. He todl them he was new, and was looking for a place to live, asking if they knew any. Ellie
was also new, so she couldn't help him, but Lauren knew the area.

Lauren Lowtide "I pass a few when I walk over from school...not sure if any are for rent though."
Nicholas Bradley furrowed his brow "I see" he said "Any chance you could show me where they are?"
Lauren Lowtide nods "Sure follow me." She turns quickly to start walking away.

This fateful interaction would greatly affect both of their lives, and in the end, neither of them would be
the same.

After Lauren showed him the apartments by the hospital, "Eugene" wanted to thank her "It's so nice to actually
come across somebody who is helpful. Allow me to buy you a drink or a coffee or something to thank you" She
agreed to a drink, and "Eugene" took her to the Underground Whiskey Bar.

I suppose at this point I should tell you what he had in his pockets:
$19.74
Ballgag
Roofies

Before they entered the bar, Lauren made a statement that made him chuckle: "This is a bar? Kinda looks like
somewhere you would go to kill someone." She wasn't far from the truth. As they entered and saw no bartender,
"Eugene" was quite happy. "Well that sucks, although it's not the end of the world. I used to do a little
bartending back in college" he said as he stepped behind the bar "What'll you have?" To which she replied
"I'll have whatever you are having." "Eugene" obliged, but with a minor exception, her drink was drugged.
After making sure she drank it, he started talking to her, waiting for her to be out of it. When she treid to
stand up and nearly lost her balance, he knew she was ready, and he started to walk her into the back room.
By the time he got her there, she was completely out of it. Going through her pockets, he found a knife
(which he would make great use of throughout his journeys), a cell phone, keys, and a some of her class notes, which he would use later. He cursed to himself as he pocketed the little amount of money she had and then used the knife to cut off her clothes. Then, making sure the room was nice and secure, he put the ballgage in her mouth and
unzipped his pants, putting on a condom so that they wouldn't get his DNA. He had his way with her, and then
had an idea. Taking a knife he cut off her long golden hair, as he continued to pump in and out of her. Once
he was finished he went and flushed the condom. Not finding any rope he used her own clothing to tie her up,
in a haphazard manner. Then put her in the corner of the room and checked himself, making sure he was
presentable and then left.

The Street Giveth And The Street Taketh Away
Part 3: Auto Shop

After he left and changed his clothes, and shaved his head and moustache, he was out for more mayhem. he
needed money, so he went to the auto repair shop. "What do you charge for repairs?" he said as he walked into
the room. The mechanic was out of it "Uh... wha' ya got?" asked Lex. Nick started fumbling through his
pockets, as if looking for keys trying to keep the man busy "Uh, I can never remember the names of these
things" he said, as he finally got close enough and plunged the knife he had stolen from Lauren into the man's
chest. Nick wasn't looking to kill anybody so he pulled out the knife quickly "The register, open it" he
shouted, as he spotted a girl on the couch "Or she gets it". Lex did as he was told and Nick ran out of
there. He hid in his motel room for the rest of the night.

That's it or his first two days. Stay tuned for the next installment once I've got it all typed up.
