Xander Stray is a Gothamite that was a star athlete in high school with dreams of conquering the NBA. However, throwing a championship game took away his credibility, eligibility, and made his closest friends leave him. Feeling like there was nothing left there in Gotham, he contemplated signing up for the military, like his dad had done before him, until a friend of his mom, Officer McKenzie Bock, called him asking for help. Xander eventually agreed to meet up with Bock and upon being introduced to this new group of people asked to be called Fastbreak as he didnt want his reputation to potentially damage these new relationships, or distract him with his own negativity should someone say something to him about throwing away the game.
On paper Xander is a shoe-in for the Bat-Family. Hes athletic, quick, strong, adaptable, and most of all both of his parents are dead. Like thats all you need for a Robin, right Dick? No? Oh. Regardless I did my best to try and carry the thread in campaign 1 that Fastbreak -was- Gotham. It was in his blood and he did everything he could for the city itself. Aside from Spirit, the others werent from around here and just happened to be in Gotham by chance in the last couple of years. They all cared deeply about fixing the city, but it was a different type of personal forFastbreak.
But during the campaign his point of view changed. Maybe the Bat-Family wasnt the be all end all. And it turns out trying to focus on being a strong leader and having a willingness to get your hands dirty and work under the table makes you a prime candidate to be involved in politics. The end of campaign 1 saw Fastbreak give up the mask in order to be an assistant to Arthur Brown as he took the steps from Mayor into Senator.
Bringing us to campaign 2, Xander has been unlocked for roughly the most recent third of the campaign. He was not put in a tube and he was lucky to have avoided the Equation long enough to make it to the airport where the Society was crashing down. In the Meta program directive responsible for protecting the President in just such an event, he fought them off the best he could as he helped the President get safely on Air Force 1, losing his closest friend in the process. Knowing that back in C1 Clayface was looking for Presidential bunkers and trying to learn the nuances of that then current President, Xander said they would not be safe and instead operation Broken Spirit was activated, which sent them to Challengers Mountain in Colorado where they crashed and survived for months with the Challengers of the Unknown.
During his time in DC working for Cluemaster hes retired the Fastbreak name the best he could. Having lost Spoiler still fresh in his heart, he couldnt bring himself to even thinking he was a hero and that name carried some of those connotations. But the itch was still there as he devoted a lot of his personal efforts to trying to help fund and assist in managing the various Super Teams contracted by the government. YOURE WELCOME FOR YOUR RAISE ROSETTA.
I think thats that. If theres questions about either of them Ill answer them the best I can. Get ready for number 52!
But first An honorable Mention? Well have to see.
