Stealing a van from the Alexian Empire when vans were a kings luxury. And living to brag about it.
Two guards from Naron had chased the van's first theif to Brinks where my character was (alone at the time, the other folk left for some reason while I was inside, maybe they had a theif to chase too, I didn't care enough to find out) and they killed the theif. My character Afris had been repairing tools for DuUrden since he spawned and had pocketed quite a few of them, so he was kinda morally grey and willing to take risks already.
So I figured why not? I checked to see if the van was unlocked, it was. Well now I'm in the van. It's do or die, probably both. So off I go. (I didn't know this at the time, but since both guards were on motorcycles they couldn't see the way I went. My ignorance made it quite an adrenaline rush)
I parked the van on the road and popped the lock off with a stolen screwdriver, then sat there for almost a year terrified of being found, until I was almost starved and went back into Brinks.
When I got back into town Starn and Trucky were back as well as some goodie two shoe refugees from Alexilad or Naron who were going all bunnies and rainbows over how great and peaceful the forest was. I wasn't going to have them settling down and ruining the grit and spit culture DuUrden had going there, so I started giving them a hard time and in general acting like the cocky sexist bastard that Afris was. All the while I was one eating tick from starving to death, but Afris wasn't going to admit that.
Eventually Trucky notices that I was in a van and slides in asking where I got it. So I bragged about stealing it and casually mentioned that I was hungry. He gave me some food (within an hour of starving if I remember right) and built a new lock on the van. (It was the Alenz hills Brinks forest trade van that Alexilad took during the war. So it was more of a recovery than theft, right?) I was a full on member of DuUrden after that, and those waterfall loving hippies moved on.
I still have no idea how Afris lived until I hit the X. That cocky snot should have died a dozen times and was a blast to play because of it.
