The Trooper

Trooper Cameron Rhodanos of the Darkingshore Police Department

Trooper Rhodanos was the son of one of the PD’s founders, a man who devoted his life to two things: cars and freedom. He believed in justice and had raised his son to always stand for a cause and never step back. His example was ultimately sealed by his sacrifice when he died in the line of duty during a car chase. Trooper Rhodanos never forgot his Father’s words knowing that being a Police officer wasn’t a job: it was a calling.

 That late Spring afternoon, or Primavera as they called it in Italian, Trooper Rhodanos had just escaped his Father’s fate when three hoons in a modified motor-vehicle went after him with the intention of killing him. His radio was having issues after the dispatch office had been attacked, so he had no way to know updates from his colleagues around the province. The chase had led him to the border with the Nowhere Land, the way it was called the now deserted territory that once was a flourishing nation. After a long fight using their cars as weapons, the hoons had crashed against the guardrail and rolled over a dozen times. Their speed was above 100 mph and the accident was fatal, leaving no survivors.

 The Trooper found himself alone, 30 miles away from the MPC headquarters and with only a half tank of petrol left to cruise. He ran to the forest, conscious of still being in danger, and turned off the engine in the hope of receiving good news from his colleagues.

 -Dear God, please, take care of them!
