[color=f7941d]Background:[/color] -Alessandro Rossetti, like most born into the post-apocalypse, was born and briefly raised in very unsanitary conditions of a small town in the middle of the barren wasteland; He was also the fourth-born son of two hard-working traders but was one of two infants who survived into early childhood. Not much about his family's origins are known it is said by his father that the origins of his family are most likely to have descended from a pre-war city named 'Venice', a forgotten, war-torn city far away from where he was born and raised. Like his father, Alessandro would most likely inherit his father's small business but Alessandro had other plans, travelling the world. The young boy was a zealous, ambitious soul who wanted to travel and see the rest of the world, a behavior sparked from him when the boy was taught to read by his father and had opportunity to some old pre-war books that were scavenged by his father, but little did he expect what fate had for him. When he was 10 (or so he believes), Alessandro's hometown was maliciously, suddenly sacked by raiders who then preceded to force all it's inhabitants into slavery. While in protecting their two children from these raiders, both of Alessandro's parents were shot and killed in the ensuing conflict which ended in both brothers ending up in the hands of slavery. The remaining survivors of the town were dragged north, where they were exactly going was unknown, only that they were to be slaves of cruel, unscrupulous masters. However, on the way north to the closest raider settle one night several days after the raid, one villager took the opportunity to abruptly attempt to end it all while sneaking up on a guard while asleep who was supposed to be on night-shift. This, inevitably ended in a small brawl and left an opportunity for Alessandro to escape with his brother into the barren desert that was one Europe. While running away into the cold night, both boys looked behind them to witness that their the majority of their villagers were massacred and only a few were kept alive to be enslaved. Alessandro would be later tormented and damaged after this incident as he saw his friends and family die or become enslaved all while being the sole survivor of an obscure little town he once found himself so secure in. After traveling the cinder wasteland for many days, his brother later died of heat-exhaustion and dehydration and Alessandro himself might have shared the same fate had he not been saved by a wondering scavenger who nursed the boy back to health and became his caretaker. This caretaker was none-other than the infamous outlaw named Albert 'quick-eyed' Schiller, an escaped convict who was responsible of many armed robberies from the more fortunate and wealthy, illustrious business owners of the North. Schiller soon began teach the young Alessandro the art of gun-slinging and surviving in the Wasteland and after many years of years of rigorous training with the gun-slinging maestro, Alessandro became a very decent and agile sharp-shooter with very similar talents as his mentor. There was eventually close friendship between both opportunists as the young, tortured boy ironically began to look up to the notorious criminal. Unfortunately Schiller later died at age 40 from a fever when Alessandro was 16 years old, leaving the young pupil as his heir. However, Alessandro did not want to live a life of an unconscionable criminal like the men who raided his hometown many years ago, there were morals he still wanted to live by and even while committing petty crimes there was a code of honor Alessandro focused on. In his later life, Alessandro began to take the jobs of anyone who would be willing to hire him for his talents which mainly included: Dust Running, armed-robbery or being a part-time mercenary. All of which earned him a stable income and with over 10 years of experience (on top of being famously known for being taught by the maestro gunslinger himself), Alessandro's employers and fans soon came up with a name for him, 'fast hands' due to his quick ability to draw weapons and fire them with uncanny precision, hitting is marks almost every time. To this day, Alessandro 'fast hands' Rossetti lives as a freelance alongside with his husky side-kick, Belmont, and is still known throughout the wastes as an excellent marksman and notorious gunslinger.
