Bane, a man forged in the crucible of an apocalyptic wasteland, carries the scars of his brutal upbringing like badges of honor. Born into a colony notorious for its harsh methods of 'training' the young, Bane's childhood was a relentless battle for survival. The colony's philosophy was simple yet savage: beat, starve, and dehydrate the children to prepare them for the world's cruelty. At the age of fifteen, with a wiry frame and eyes that had seen too much, Bane took drastic action, killing his parents and fleeing into the desolate landscape, seeking solitude and freedom from his tormentors.

Years of wandering alone shaped Bane into a hardened survivor, his body lean and muscular, skin weathered by the relentless sun. His dark hair, often unkempt, framed a face marked by a jagged scar running down his left cheek—a reminder of his past. It was during these solitary years that Bane met Cask, a charismatic and enigmatic figure who challenged everything Bane believed about the world. Their bond deepened into love, a rare light in the darkness of their existence.

Tragedy struck when Bane was shot by a thief, an injury that nearly claimed his life. Believing Bane to be dead, Cask left him, only to be reunited years later. By then, Cask had moved on, now with a pregnant girlfriend. The reunion was bittersweet, as Bane's heart ached with betrayal yet still burned with love for Cask. In a twist of fate, Cask chose to leave his new family to be with Bane, reigniting their flame.

Their happiness was short-lived, however. Cask's former girlfriend, driven by jealousy and resentment, orchestrated their demise. Bane, ever resilient, faced his end with the same stoic acceptance he had learned in his youth. His life, a testament to survival and love amidst chaos, ended as it had begun—in violence.

Bane's unique quirk was his habit of humming a haunting melody whenever he was deep in thought, a tune that seemed to echo the desolation of his world. His journey was marked by the constant struggle between his desire for connection and the brutal realities of his environment, a conflict that defined his existence until his final breath.
