Randy Logan Smith was born on a small, isolated English farm community named “Mud Fields” on the outskirts of Southern England, on March 18th 2079. The community were the children of survivors of the third world war who banded together to survive the horrors that will follow the war. The Community, while having several small run ins with small gangs of bandit, a rare mutant survived. The community while having grown still stands to current day. Randy’s mother one of the community’s nurse, while his father was part of its militia. Randy was helped his mother with small medical tasks, following her to work to get away from his father. This is where randy would learn how to treat wounds such as burns, cuts, clean gunshots, & dislocated joints. Randy would follow his mother to work due to his father’s drinking problem. He would get back home from Militia meetings. Randy describes him as an “Pissed off, staggering snake just looking for something to lash out on”. Randy was taught at the community’s schoolhouse where he would learn up to 8th grade level math, history, English and science. However, as Randy grew in age, he would find himself reading biology books at his mother’s clinic waiting to be called on to assist, or to leave work for home. As he passed by the time Randy would also find himself reading Pre-war stories and books whether it be fiction, or historical.

By the time Randy was 18 the farm community would’ve already expanded & formed under the UEBC. His father, being a nationalist, and a member of the Royal Militia himself pressured his son to enlist thinking it would make him a better, more respectable man. Randy would enlist into the Militia on September 20th ,2097. Randy received his training and was sent to a RM camp in Southern England. In his time in the RM Randy experienced several run ins with bandits and a small encounter with an elderly, dying mutant. He claims to have dreaded his time in the RM, he would’ve rather stayed at the clinic with his mother, or to simply go off into the woods and live in solitude off the land.

In 2103, when the RCO was formed and International trade was reestablished. Randy found a way out, an easier service in the RM. He transferred into the RCO as the easiest job he thought of Culinary Crew. Randy was content with his new profession sitting on a boat and preparing food. Randy once said he liked the Sea, the mystery’s it held, of what was around it, what was under the surface, the size, the life.

One faithful day in 2107. In the middle of the night Randy was in the kitchen cleaning up after serving dinner. When a flare was shot over the ship. The RCO, knowing of the attacks lead by the corsairs immediately picked up their arms and began firing on the incoming wave of pirates. Randy in fear of losing his life, dropped his uniform, took his service pistol and ran to a life boat. Once he got on the deck he saw he had no way out, corsairs and RCO fighting everywhere, the boat was in chaos. Randy, in fear of a corsair spotting him pulled his handgun and started opening firing on the RCO in an act of preservation. After the attack, Randy snagged an armband off a dead corsair where he loaded into the ship with the other pirates. Later that day Randy would encounter Rueben Blisk knowing he both had no way out, and a chance to start a second life. He pledged his allegiance and skills to the Captain.

Randy is currently an [SR] Mudlark in the Corsairs
