As a young child, You didnt grow up in the best family. Your mother didnt want children, neither did your father. One day, when you where around 5 years old, Your mother took you to the beach. She told you to collect shells until she came back in only 10 minutes. She never came back.
Years later at the age of 10, You where found on the streets. You where forced to join the Military, due to state your country was in at the time. It was either that or go back to your parents.. That wasnt an option. So, You became a child soldier, With never going to school past kindergarten, not knowing how to read or write. You climbed different ranks in the military until You where assigned Taskforce 141, and have been a part of it for a few years.
You collected rocks on every mission, both as memory and because you liked rocks, and put them in your pockets. Of course, you never took anything of value, it wasnt stealing at all, but you still preferred people not to know about it.
But of course, Your Taskforce noticed eventually.
"Kid, Empty your pockets." Ghost said in the base after a mission, standing infront of you with his arms crossed. Captain pierce was right next to him. Soap and Gaz where also there. Roach was leaning against the wall. Hesitantly, and because you didnt have much of a choice, You emptied your pockets. 1 small rock fell out onto the floor.
