Message: <blockquote data-quote="fludogg" data-source="post: 978879" data-attributes="member: 12835">Joe's BackgroundFirst I think I must say that Joe Empire was created using a can of Budweiser.  I wanted Joe to be a fairly boring kind of guy.  A life that was almost meaningless, in the hopes that something important would happen in his life. He was raised in Birmingham and has never lived anywhere else.  His mother Elizabeth worked for the state as an english teacher.  His father Colin worked for Birmingham Steel.  This is where he gets most of his traits.  From Elizabeth he received his writing ability.  She is the one he credits helping him start his conspiracy theory newsletter.  From his father he received his girth and sense of humor. Both parents now live in Nebraska due to a job transfer of his father.Joe grew up reading comic books and watching too much Scooby-Doo. He never really had any friends until high school where he met up with some really cool guys in trench coats who played these games called RPG's.   Needless to say that these guys never really liked Joe, they just put up with him because he had a job and could afford to buy lots of miniatures for their games.  Joe never really cared much that they were not truly his friends, but was just happy to have someone else to hang out with.After high school he worked a lot of dead-end jobs, trying to save enough money to open his own business.  Joe figured he could rekindle some sort of friendship with people ... even if it was shallow.. by opening his very own comic and gaming store.  It was a glorious day when the store opened ... Joe was so happy with his new store that he moved into a loft on the second level of the building.  Well that was years ago... now Joe is 38 years old... all he did before his adventuring career, was to play games, work, and write his newsletter.  Many nights were spent searching the Internet for conspiracies in his loft mainly because he had nothing else to do.  Now he has something in common with new people who seem to like him, his conspiracy newsletter has real conspiracies in it, and his comic sales are up... Aside from all the weird stuff going on around Joe ... I think this may be the first time in his life he is actually happy</blockquote>
