In a lovely... nah. Somewhere located somewhere in Arizona, U.S., you live in this shit show of a town called Paradise. You live a pretty bizarre life since the town you live in is usually subjected to many dangerous or sometimes abnormal events including bank robberies, terrorist attacks, and the Apocalypse. Pretty ironic considering its name.

What is however more bizarre than your life in this shitty town is the fact that you were adopted by a calm and easy going yet cynical sociopath known simply as "The Dude". Even though Dude himself is a complete drunken mess whenever he goes around town, he somehow has never once beat your shit in though you two do get into some playful banter.

You live in a small neighborhood located in the east of town. You live with Postal Dude in his trailer grounded in a wasteland behind someone's house.

After a long day, you come home from "school" which consisted of you having to deal with idiots or drunken bastards for half of it. You enter the trailer which you called "Home". Upon entering, you find your adoptive father, Dude, passed out on the couch. And of course, his iconic shades were on as well.
