Jackson Bridges
Nomad, Soldier, Cowpoke.
Nomad, Soldier, Cowpoke.
Theme
Machine Gun.
"Good times never last. Time to focus."
Character Summary
The man who walks two worlds, both the City and the Roads outside, the last survivor of the Wanderer Clan. Looking into Jackson Bridges history would reveal he was not always a Nomad Cowpoke, but once a soldier in the FSA Army, a Sergeant to be exact. But nowadays he's a cool-headed gunslinger, often manning the Frontier Bar as Security or offering his services as a Mechanic or competent Solo.. When he's not out shooting someone or something, or fixing something in his apartment, he's out driving his Blitzkrieg Bike, 'Bettsy', hitting the road.
Sanity

Sanity: "In all honestly, I feel like heading out to the road and never coming back, this City life is something else. I can see why my Father and his people avoided it. But I won't, this is my life now, it's time to chip in."
But now, an aside.

1. "George:WELCOME TO HARDNEWS ON CHANNEL 631, WHERE WE TELL YOU THE REALLY HARD NEWS! Let's get into it Sam! Sam: Today we're interviewing a Solo by the name of Jackson Bridges, an Ex-FSA Vet shooting his way up the charts! He currently ranks #3458 on the List, but he's up-and-coming for sure with 120 Confirmed Kills, one of which was a Borg monster he caught on tape, that things uglier than my ex-wife George!!"
(Pictured is Bridges Helmet-Cam of a Red-Skinned Full-Borg, during the chaos, Jackson shoot's its head off and fills it with lead otherwise, all while ducking and dodging it's Minigun. It began spewing fire everywhere before the team pulled out, ending with a large explosion off-screen..)
"G: That's damn right Sam, ugly as hell, literally, look at all that fire! Tell us Mister Bridges, what is your favorite thing about being a Solo?"
"B: I get to protect my friends in battle and I'd be lying if I didn't mention the adrenaline George, most of us Solos are adrenaline junkies. Having some good stories to tell the ladies afterwards doesn't hurt either, but I also love seeing what weapons can do, being a Ex-Soldier. There's nothing quite like it."
"G:That's quite interesting, and what do you recommend to any Solos further down the list who have nothing but a pocket full of dreams, their iron and their balls?"
"B: Kick it to the man, show them what's what, even if you've gotta go out blasting, at least you made your mark. We can't get forgotten out here, and we can't let them walk all over us. Cover your ass, watch your friends backs and always pack protection, the world will keep turning."
"S: Well, isn't that HARD people? G:That's all for now folks, on our next section of the interview, we interview a local who swears he saw a Seegson Working-Joe fall from a fourth floor of a local Megabuilding and die, but not before it said something about dreaming. S: Please! Bot's don't DREAM George, don't listen to his nonsense! That's all for HARD NEWS! We're Sam and George!"![]()

Extras
Blood Upon The Risers
"BREACH, BREACH" said Jackson into his comms, his squad breaching the building that terrorists had used to hold their hostages, one of which they came for, the General. Breaching charges blew the walls in, snipers took out what hostage takers they could, Jackson's squad began pushing in, clearing the building but it all went awry just after they pushed through to the General. Jackson grabbed the man and began to evac, then there was a flash..
He awoke three months later in the Infirmary, back on base, he clicked the TV off showing the Corsair Tower burning. The general had pulled some strings, having survived, to get Jacksons right arm and leg replaced by FSA stamped Augments, but worst of all, half his team and Bettsy was gone as the terrorists blew the building up..
Vehicles
'Bettsy' - Bettsy is a modified Blitzkrieg, this powerful, maneuverable, recumbent bike is a nomad favorite. With its sturdy drive and low-maintenance engine, it is the choice for nomads who spend long periods out of contact with the main pack; when your brothers and sisters are two days' hard riding away, it's not a good time for your personal vehicle to throw a tantrum. Ceramic and plastic are the primary material for the construction of this bike. The unique ceramic cooling shroud design gives the same effects as IR damping. This specific bike has also been modified with four quick-deploy hover jets for traversing above any nasty pollutants in addition to his tires.
Many times has Jackson been caught out in the desert amidst a Radstorm, just him and his Bike in his rad-resistant tent. Safe to say, if anyone touches his bike, they're on his shit list, and if you damage his bike? Probably best to start packing, you'll just die tired, but at least you ran, right?

18th Hellriders -
"I miss them a ton, my boys, we rode into hell and came back brutalized warriors, but not everyone came back from the Jungles.. 'Bettsy', 'Stiff-arm', 'Longshot', 'Gunner', 'Popper', you'll be missed, may you make it to the Sandhills, maybe we'll meet again Brothers."
☠️Bettsy -
"I'm sorry old girl, that IED took you from me. The 18th got payback, don't you worry about those bastards."
☠️Father, The Chief, 'Rider' -
"I don't know if the Murdoch Raiders took you, but you are gone, in the Sandhills. We mourn your passing, mother could not handle this world without you."
☠️Orso, 'Big Man' -
"Big man, I'm sorry. Never did know you too well on account of your Helios job, but it's a shame what happened, you went down fighting, like a warrior. May you make it to the Sandhills. We'll make them pay."
Vass -
"Brother Vass, reminds me of some of my boys from the 18th. One of the first Citydwellers I met fresh from the road, figure I met one of the best. I hope you make it far, real far, to the highest tops, maybe even the Number Ten Solo List. Don't you worry, you'll be up there in no time. Just don't forget to take a breath sometimes, you got people who care for you. See, making it big, I knew you could do it. We've kicked some real ass lately, proud of you."
Kate -
"Another member of the Group, why are half of them hot women? I dunno, I'm not complaining, they seem cool enough, decent enough in a fight from what I know. Mrs. Kate, I don't know her all too well, but I know she's a good part of the team and can handle herself in a fight, I've patched her up a few times, smart girl."
Delilah -
"Delilah, she's nice, I still don't know too much about her, but I guess I don't need to. We've got a damn good group. Probably follow her and Vass into hell if needed, as long as she's cutting up demons along the way hah. Kicking ass, like usual, she knows what's up.. I hope you and your sister are alright, I don't know if I can see it to the end."
Tara -
"Delilah's Sister, she's nice, funny too. Not too bad on the eyes either, just a bit headstrong in a fight. After Orso, I have a feeling I'll be able to trust these folks quite well. I'm sorry I couldn't help more with Orso, I tried. I trust you now, as the team shapes up, you're doing good. Too much chaos, her spirit needs calm..."
Lilith,
'Lily' - "Club Netrunner, she's pretty good in a fight too, not very talkative, probably their whole emo thing hah but she's good people. Reliable, and smart. Could probably tell me 25 ways to hack into a vending machine."
Siggurd -
"Don't know him all too well but he's part of the crew, and a good one at that, interested in hearing about his past, and working with him in the future. Just don't get robbed by anymore Rows, hah. Seems like a good fighter when he's not being robbe- okay, I'm done. He's grown on me, he's a good man. Apparently a Twist-uhh Master-uhh."
SPAM -
"Good bot, good friend, funny how bots are better humans than humans sometimes. Only becoming more and more useful as time goes by. Maybe went to Nam?"
Mamoru -
"Mamoru, I don't know him too well still, but he seems a bit nicer than when he was fully owned by Aetherstone, decent guy. He said he's happier than he's been in a while, I'm happy for him."
Big Fat Steve -
"Also don't know him too much, but he seems decent enough for a gun-dealer."
Erik Hernandez -
"Good guy, makes some damn good food too, these lawmen got it rough these days. I hope the City treats him well and his spirits keep him safe, Creator knows he'll need it."
Frank, 'Boss' -
"The Bossman, I don't know him too well on account of him being my boss but he seems like good people, not bad to work for at all. I appreciate him taking me on for a job when I first arrived. Don't quite know how he got here so far, but I'm sure he's got some good stories, being a big retired solo and such."
Firehawk -
"I'm sorry for being so rough with you during Orso's situation. I'm sorry we couldn't get him out, I really tried. I didn't want you to get yourself killed.. Good to see you smile."
Dr. Donovan, 'Doctor' -
"The good doctor, glad we have such educated and professional doctors available to us when we need new augments and such, he's a good enough man, though you can probably bribe him with porn."
Violetta, 'V' -
"Kind, too kind, who would of thought I'd be looking after a stripper at the Bar, but she grows on ya a bit, after you get used to her voice. If you hear this, please, stay safe, and keep your head on straight V."
John, 'The Prez' -
"Mr. President, when you (stole) that victory from me a good few weeks back during that deathrace, I already knew we'd be good enough friends, you're a good man John. Stay safe."
Kim -
"It's just Kim, she's nice, I dunno why but she just makes me feel happy when I see her, always say hi. What'd I say about Bots being better humans than humans? She works at Helios now, hope she get's some good pay hah."
Hani, 'Samurai' -
"Up and coming solo, bit headstrong, but he'll get there, pretty good in a fight all things considered, thinks quick, he'll get far I think, got good spirit."
Lynch -
A good addition to the team, glad to have him. I don't know him all to well otherwise unless my memory is lapsing but, he seems like a decent enough man.
Yuri -
My other boss, the big boss maybe, I don't know, either way, he seems cool enough as well. Not that it's my prerogative to speak on that, don't fire me choom. Jokes aside, a good boss by all accounts.
Shu-Chu Roku, 'Arm Man' -
I don't know him all too well, but he's part of the team, I think he's a netrunner so at least we know he's useful, good to have him.
