The news was heartbreaking, but more than that, embittering towards authority. He and his two younger siblings spent most of their childhoods in an orphanage without really knowing the details of happened to their parents and without much hope for the future. It was particularly bad for Alan who hated the way the orphanage was run and could only barely coexist with the staff. Regardless he stowed it away for the sake of his brother and sister. When he was a teenager he fell in with some pick pockets and wannabe pickpockets and had his first run in with the police. Alan outran them and eluded them all night until he met the man who would become his master, an aging man who went by Reagan, who just so happened to be a master thief. Really Reagan had scouted him. He taught Alan everything he knew and before Alan was in college he was already participating in some fairly big heists. The money was, as Alan told himself, for his brother and sister to help them get on in life, but when they found out what Alan had done to get it, they dissociated with him only keeping his secret out of respect for their familial connection. So he threw himself at his work. Alan became notable enough to run his own crew and make his own jobs. One day though he stumbled upon the most beautiful woman he had ever seen by the name of Elizabeth. She came of old money and her father was determined to involve her heavily with his business partners and eventually marry her off like some medieval lord. They met in secret for a few years before Her father found out about them and forbid their meeting ever again. Eli complied and turned Alan away again and again. Abandoned by everyone in his life Alan removed himself from the world for a while before coming back to the criminal scene with a vengeance. He went after big heist after big heist before once again leaving the scene, telling his associates only that there wasn't anything else left worthy of his talents. Now however things are different. the world is in a degree of chaos and Alan has some new abilities to test the limits of, so it looks like crime is back on the menu. (Coincidentally the character in the image is also named carter, but the name came before I found the image.) [/quote] Oh yes sir, perfect character! Approved! Post him in the character tab!
