Rod was always a little off. Since he was a small child, he always
liked to break things. As a constant disruption in grade school, he
spent more time in the principal's office than in class, leading to low
placements in his later education. Most teachers and authority figures
thought he was a hopeless case. But his neighbors, and his friend's
parents knew better. Little Ryan's home life was less than perfect.
Stephen and Cathy Berger's marriage started out happy, like any other,
but only after a year, soon after Cathy got pregnant, trouble had
started. Stephen started drinking. Not much at first, happy hour after
work, then at night in front of the TV, then he started drinking before
work as well. Cathy tried her hardest not to expose their infant son to
this, but as the months wore on, Stephen became increasingly violent.
Stephen Berger continued as a functional alcoholic, and his wife Cathy,
a pill popping basket case living in constant fear. Their son, Ryan,
took to destroying inanimate objects, and exhibiting a short temper with
other children, but the parents paid no attention to the school's
complaints. They only cared enough to keep him at home if Stephen hit
him too hard in the face that weekend.
Luckily, Ryan's father left when he was 9, but he left a broken family
behind. His mother rarely left the house, and Ryan became more and more
distant from other children. But when he was 13, he skipped class with
a couple of older kids that he rode bikes with. They took the bus
downtown in St. Louis, and realized the ultimate release of vandalism.
This became a regular occurrence. He met lots of new kids down there.
They started building skate ramps in burned out warehouses, and
listening to hard edge music. Some of it old, some of it new. Ryan
started going by the name, "Rod" after a random redneck butchered his
name, and it stuck.
In the last 4 years, Rod has kept busy. He's gone to school just enough
to keep from getting kicked out, but has also had some brushes with the
law. Mostly for vandalism, but mainly cause the pigs sucked. He and
his friends began calling themselves the "Hammer Crew", and espoused
beliefs of social unrest, intollerance for intoxicants, and the right
for Americans to destroy the byproducts of their disposable society.
They weren't big, but they were a tight crew. He's fought with jocks,
he's fought with skinheads, he's fought with rednecks.
Now he's focused on his band, and has a bit more to think about than breaking things.
Now he's gotta rock the whole world to it's knees. Oi!
