He thinks his last name is “Smith”, because his daddy said so, and Daddy was always right. He thinks his first name is “Son” because that’s what his daddy always called him, and Daddy was always right.

Smith grew up and still lives in an old rustic house that's adjacent to a long since closed machine shop located deep in the woods near a small town that’s long since forgotten about it.

Born simple minded and with mental disabilities, Smith was raised by an ex-military, paranoid survivalist who wasn't the most stable minded either. His daddy's paranoia and obsessive nature to protect his property from “Them” drove him to teach Smith how to protect it as well, including how to build and install deadly traps around the property.

While his daddy's been gone for awhile now, Smith still does what he was raised to do; to protect the property with his dying breath, which includes the dozens of acres of dense woods surrounding his home, the old machine shop, and the growing scrap yard of useful scrap and materials. Those few people that have survived trespassing on Smith's property all talk of a killer in the woods the internet has since dubbed The Wacker.

Like many urban legends, Smith's urban legends are getting bigger and more diverse, but the one constant is that “he’s a crazy man who cuts people to pieces with a modified weed wacker, if his death traps don't get you first!”

Dexter Olivas was born into a family of loggers that proudly goes back generations. But being the runt of the litter with brains instead of brawn, Dexter wasn't meant for the rugged lifestyle. Regardless, after serving in the Army Corps of Engineers and going to school afterwards, Dexter found work back home as a logging machinery engineer and mechanic.

Unfortunately, his foreman and logging crew were more interested in cost cutting than in safety. They were reckless in their work, cutting all the corners they could. As a result, one morning a preventable accident had disfigured Dexter. The logging crew panicked and fled the site, leaving him for dead.

The crew returned the next morning with the intent of finding Dexter's body and arranging the scene to portray his death as an unrelated accident (perhaps a dead tree had fallen on him). However, when they arrived, Dexter was gone.

Dexter, even with his crushed legs and jaw being completely torn off, had miraculously survived the accident. However, it left him a broken man, both mentally and physically. His miraculous but excruciatingly painful survival, his talent for adapting and his newly developing Psi-Mechanic abilities after (or perhaps because of) the accident gave him all the tools and motivation needed to survive and seek revenge.

As Chopper, he now seeks revenge on everyone who disfigured and left him for dead... and anyone who dares to get in his way.

Pearl is a case study of a sensitive woman scorned, belitted, and probrably amused by powerful men throughout her youth, mixed with a dramatic and passionate dose of rebellion and the compassionate nature of a caregiver being taken advantage of over and over. Now imagine all of that in a Psychic Healer with a fragile mind and you have all the ingredients of a psychic man killer.

Pearl has a very warped view of the world, seeing men as the end all of everything who can do nothing right, while on the other hand seeing herself as an avenger of every scorned woman who defends and protects women to a chauvinistic degree.

As Man Eater, Pearl sees herself as a strong woman in a world full of weak ones, and only she can protect them from the horrible men in the world. The more rich and powerful the men are, they more dangerous they are in her eyes and they must be dealt with. Of course its not enough for Pearl to simply kill them; they need to suffer; to feel some inkling of the pain and torment they've inflicted upon women (whether they truly have or not). The Syphon Entity in her hook knife and her Dar'ota allies only makes Pearl that much more dangerous!
