Carter *Deceased*
The tragic story of Carter begins with the death of his entire family and community. Left to his own devices he managed to scrape out a living for himself as a swindler and a scavenger. Due to his attitude about his situation, he was forced to live a nomadic life, constantly drifting from settlement to settlement until he outstayed his welcome.
Carrying an heirloom he had little understanding of, a measure of its true potential was revealed to him a year before he arrived at the Crawler looking for work as a healer. Unfortunately, the boy's ego was stronger than his will and he made a lot of bold claims about his 'medicinal herbs' that turned out to just be black mold he had dehydrated and put through a mortar and pestle. Potentially to avoid facing the eventual fallout from his 'methods', Carter made the mistake of hitching a ride on the Dreadnought to flee Undercity.
While on board he was quick to paint a big target on his back, along with anyone associated with him. Shirking his own consequences and allowing his companions to suffer in his stead, he placed one of the final nails in his coffin. When he returned to tease them he ended up starting a small riot that ended with him accidentally discharging his power into Dusty Rattmen and shorting out his special device. Now disarmed and alone he fled to a locked cabin, forcing the VCP to stage a siege on his room. Without having eaten for quite some time already due to his suspicions on everyone around him, he found outlasting the officers quite impossible.
Finally forced to face his actions, the foolish youth continued to taunt his captors despite his dire circumstances. Decreed by First Citizen Martin in front of all additional new recruits to send a firm message, Carter was condemned to death and given one last chance to speak before the sentence was carried out. Instead of begging forgiveness or offering any kind of reason for his outlandish behaviors, he yelled defiantly back at the Red Devils up until the very moment they dropped the ground out from under him and we sucked out of the ship to fall ten thousand feet to his death.
Last Words- "Wait-- Stop! But you can't throw me off the ship, I'm the smartest one on board!!!"
