Glides-In-Ruin

Glides-In-Ruin is the only son of the once mighty Chieftain Long-Shadow, a founding member and now deceased protector of what would become the tribal conglomerate that once dominated the Wisconsin River in 2280s. The community became bustling in the wake of his tribe's discovery of a pre-war nuclear facility, a notion that disturbed many of the other less civilized folk within the multitudes of tribes. Since the discovery of the area, tensions between these tribes worsened in the wake of superstition and mistrust between the leaders of each ruling family. Glides-In-Ruin, born and raised under the creeds and martial oaths of a warrior as all men in his family did, looked inward once in-fighting began to strike his beloved homeland. He realized the peace between his family and the other tribes were destined to crumble at it's current decline.

Staying true to the teachings of his father, he came before the elders of his tribe and demanded they move further up river, in order to avoid more direct confrontations. With hesitance, they agreed to his direction, although many considered his actions cowardly. Despite this, his tribe managed to divert their angered neighbors with clever use of the local ruins that loomed around their new-found facility, but their victory was short-lived. The day Glides-In-Ruin earned his name, was the same day his people were put to the slaughter. In those ruins, they were wiped clean by those that they once called allies and even friends. Strange, he thought, how quickly things change when material gain consumes all other desire. He spent what felt like days contemplating the cautions of his tribe's views on the old world; how they believed it all ended because of these very same principals of all consuming greed.

As one of the last remaining members of the now defunct River Runners in 2288, he's since been forced out of his ancestral home and into the greater wastes within Wisconsin. This is where his journey will begin again, after a long period of wandering.
