"Chaos is always waiting"

Augustus Pearce Lindner...
Despite his aristocratic-sounding name, he was actually born into poverty. To a stern father, and a loving mother. Most can piece together his background from being from Maine, United States of America.
He was like any other child during his age; yet during these solemn years he realised as he got older, that he had been born to a family with nothing to show-for. His fathers failing businesses had led them to bankcruptcy and poverty.
Soon the bottle became more important than his family, with Lindner succumbing to his father's fits of outbreaks the more he got older. But encouraged by his mother, he stayed in school and got good grades.
He got to see the world for what it truly was-... a hellhole, where the strong prey upon the weak.
Each day after his 12th birthday, his father unbuckled the belt. Nothing to do against it-.... for three years he endured it.
But pain is what makes you strong-... and now he finally understood. The last time his father came with the belt, he was fifteen... drunkedly, his father stumbled into the room and fell to the floor..
-"Help me up, child! Whoreson!"-
But the child only smiled, for whas that truly what he was now?
He grasped a hold of his Fathers belt and strapped it around his fathers throat.
And strangled him to death with it.
That was the first time he killed someone.
Not much is known what happened after, except to Lindner himself. The Portal storms and the subsequent subjugation of Earth.
The Renaissance man he was, he had interests in many things; years prior to the war he had taken his PhD in Medicine and officially became part of the "Big Pharma" of the United States. With his ability to think, his charisma-... and his many talents he surely would've climbed far and wide.
But that would not happen.
Instead another oppertunity arose for him - in this world of ashes, slowly being rebuild.

For years he toiled, but soon - he made it there. The road hadn't been easy but he was finally here. During his time to reach the top, he met with Karl Söderberg and became an acquitance of him, although mildly put. With his entry into the Harmony Collective, Lindner had found somewhat of a father-figure in Söderberg-.... and a meaning.
Ever since he was a child-... he had felt-... different. He understood that he was different. Yet he understood that kindness and the display of it, grants you friends - and not enemies. Whether or not he believed in the Founders plan, he knew he had found a foothold for himself to grow. And he intended to do so-... with Karl Söderberg.

(OOC)
Going to leave this as an OOC inquiry. The last couple of years I played Willard on mainly the rebel scene with characters such as Juno, Wildcard, etc etc. I never properly got introduced into the loyalist scene. I scarcely did with this very same character in about a month before the server closed. I believe I found a good composition for this complex character; to allow him to grow from the start and the beginning.
With this, I will be properly inducted into the loyalist scene and able to create and develop this character, not as a pure-blooded psychopath, but as a person who has developed a complexicity in his personality. He is neither good, nor bad - he's neutral.
Depending on how things turn out, perhaps he becomes an antagonist to some-... a hero to others. Who knows? It all depends on the players, the actions-... butterfly effect..
(Below is an open format application, but it can be best to describe what may motivate your character.)
