Risk/Background

Risk was born in the south of Oregon to a relatively small and well-off family, quickly displaying an aptitude for studies and medicine in particular. He soon achieved the grades he needed to attend medical school, and began training to become a doctor shortly before P-Day.

P-Day itself struck while he was attending medical school, with the campus devolving into chaos rapidly, and only worsening as time went on. Risk himself was caught up in one of the first few attacks, and lost himself almost completely soon after. Newfound Instincts driving him, he eventually wandered southward into California, and proceeded to live as a feral for a time.

After several years, Risk was picked up and slowly rehabilitated by Prometheans, a rough process for him which soon became a little easier for him as his previous talent for learning slowly returned. Now with several large gaps in his memory, he found he was unable to recall his original family, or even his birth name, eventually taking on the name 'Risk'. During this time he also discovered that his particular nanites had seemed to have halted his aging process, leaving him at the same age he was shortly after his original infection.

Staying with the Prometheans and working closely with them as thanks for saving his life, Risk adapted to his new reality quickly, and soon began venturing out on his own, eventually ending up doing small amounts of work for Zephyr. It was during this period that he learned of Zephyr's Nanite Adept program, earning his way into a position on it and signing up to explore the limits of his own body.

Now able to shift between forms at will, albeit with some difficulty, Risk became enthralled with the level of freedom and self-expression provided, coming to see themselves as without a fixed gender or form.

Risk now operates out of New Dawn, renting a small room there and assisting fellow Prometheans whenever possible, performing the occassional job for Zephyr and others on the side. They seem to have found a comfortable niche for themselves, and are keen to expand their social circle.
