Bane, a survivor from an apocalyptic world, bore the scars of a brutal upbringing in a colony where children were subjected to relentless training through beatings, starvation, and dehydration. His physique, hardened by this cruel regimen, stood as a testament to his resilience. With piercing eyes that seemed to harbor the darkness of his past, and a muscular frame wrapped in tattered clothing scavenged from the ruins, Bane exuded an aura of both menace and vulnerability. His skin, weathered and marked with scars, told stories of survival against all odds.
At a young age, driven by a desperate need for freedom, Bane took the drastic step of killing his abusive parents. This act of rebellion led him on a solitary journey through the desolate landscapes, where he learned to trust no one but himself. His path crossed with Cask, a man whose worldview challenged everything Bane believed in. Cask's influence brought a new perspective to Bane's life, softening his hardened heart and leading to a deep, transformative love between them.
However, their newfound happiness was short-lived. One fateful night, a thief's bullet found its mark in Bane's side, ending his life prematurely. The love he found with Cask, though brief, gave him a glimpse of what could have been a different life, one not defined by survival and solitude.
Throughout his life, Bane faced internal conflicts between his desire for connection and the ingrained instinct to remain solitary and self-reliant. Externally, the harsh world he navigated was filled with dangers that constantly tested his resolve and survival skills. His unique trait was a peculiar habit of humming a haunting melody whenever he was deep in thought, a remnant of a lullaby his mother used to sing before the world turned against them.
