And that was find a good woman. She wasn't in the life like him. She only worked in a garage, fixing up speeders and hovercraft. That was how they met. She was fixing up his ride and they got to trading stories...something just clicked. After a few months, Lyrella ended up pregnant with Maxwell's kid. He was born with no complications, and for the first few years things were good. They even had enough money to live on the upper levels of the megatower. <br/><br/>Sometimes, for some people, however...life just goes sour. During a job, Maxwell killed a tweaker who tried to jack into his haul before he could get it back to the client. That tweaker was the nephew of someone connected real good with the one of the bigger Corps in the area. It took interference from GenTexx, a corp he'd done faithful work for over the past few years to get him out of the trouble. <br/><br/>But in return, he had to do a lot of increasingly difficult jobs for them. One job got him injured to the point where his career would be put on hold for a while. He had money saved, but Lyrella's job as a mechanic wouldn't cut it to keep them with a roof over their heads <em>and</em> pay off the rest of the debt to GenTexx. Kain decided to step up and help his family, and that got him into the life. He was sixteen when he went on his first job.<br/><br/> He'd been trained extensively by his father so his skill wasn't in question. But it was for self-defense, not active work in the field. He was sixteen when he made his first kill. The target was an executive who'd bitten off a bit more than he could chew with his blackmailing of a certain government official who in turn had much more solid blackmail against that exec's superiors. And Kain's order was simple. Kill the man. Collect the evidence. It took months of effort. Getting hired. Busting his ass under a fake identity provided by GenTexx.<br/><br/> All to get close enough to the executive to take him out. Turned out the guy loved his whores and his drugs. It wasn't long before his favorite up and coming aide-de-camp became even more special when he sacrificed his hard <del>swindled</del>earned credits to take the man who was training him out on the town to get him coked-up with a pretty lady or two on his arm and a room that couldn't be traced back to him, as well as an alibi for the night. And finally, one night when he'd fucked himself silly and popped so many pills he was seeing purple moons, Kain snuck into his room in the middle of the night, and slipped a pill into his mouth. <br/><br/>It looked like an overdose, and by then, he'd told the young many so many of his secrets while inebriated and feeling good. Every scrap of info he had on the official was taken back to GenTexx, and he was given a seal of approval. His next few jobs for them got easier, and in about two years, he'd paid off the debt and discovered there was a lot of money to be made in this line of work. So he remained.<br/><br/> He got accustomed to it, and in a few short years had become well known for his capabilities. He was a top fixer, who took no sides except those with the biggest pockets. But being too good for your own good is definitely the downfall of some of the greats, and Kain, unfortunately, found himself in that very situation. He was set up and got a nasty shot through the gut. One of the last things he remembers seeing as he stumbled his way into a gritty back alley was John Carter. He'd only worked with the man once or twice before, but he left a lasting impression and Kain knew him as one of the few in this line of business with a code of honor. His world went black as he reached for help; the only help he could get without it costing him everything. He never noticed his vision turning black and his hand falling limply to his side.<br/><br/></span>
