I spent about two hours making an Aiden Pearce survivor paragraph. I had to put the lore into the body text, as its pretty extensive and wouldnt fit in an image. feedback would be greatly appreated!

Aiden Pearce is the man who you do not want to mess with. powerful ally, and an even more powerful enemy. With his incredible street-smarts, hacking skills, and combat ability, he is Chicago's saving grace. With his motives being powered by vengeance, it would be wise for you to stand out of his way. An ex-criminal turned vigilante, he sought to find the men who killed his 6 year old niece.

It was a dark night. Aiden was at the Merlaut. a hotel owned by a famous businessman. Dermot 'lucky' Quinn. Quinn had suspicions of being tied to mob related activity, but was never proven. Alongside Aiden was his partner in crime. Damien Brenks. Together they planned to rob the bank accounts of everyone in the hotel. As soon as Damien started the hack, money started pouring in. $100,000 in just 30 seconds. it was going well. it was going to be a clean getaway. but then something happened. There was another hacker. Damien wanted to track this hacker down, scare them off. Whilst Aiden didn't want to take the risk. He wanted out. He couldn't take the risk. They both started arguing. Then the hacker started to do something of their own. which was shutting off Aiden's and Damien's access, in turn, exposing them. Damien thought they could handle it, and track them down. Aiden disagreed. He started to slowly walk towards the exit, then jogged, then ran. as soon as he exited, the access was cut off. after that night, He dropped Damien for being too careless. Aiden couldn't have that type of partner. even if he taught him some powerful hacking skills.

It was only days after this when a simple drive to Pawnee changed the lives of Aiden and his family forever. a motorcycle started to drive past the vehicle, and then the motorist pulled out a handgun and shot Aiden's front tire out, making the car go out of control. His 6 year old niece died that day. Aiden wanted answers. And he wanted them bad.

 After this incident, he became a different man. a broken man. with only one goal. find those who are responsible and make them pay. Slowly but surely, Aiden started to find a path. a set of footprints, you might say. Leading towards the man who shot the bullet that made Aiden's car spin out of control. With the help of Chicago's new city-wide operating system that powers almost everything, CTOS, it became easier for him to find his way. a simple breach of its recognition software and he had everyone's personal secrets right at his fingertips. Over the months after the incident, Aiden started to build a reputation for himself. of course, nobody knew it was Aiden, but a masked assailant instead. The city named this assailant "The Fox". from taking down small town thugs, to dismantling an entire human trafficking operation, this man was unstoppable. Chicago PD wasn't that much of a threat to Aiden, all he had to do was hack a few things and disappear in the city's darkness. while the officers searched for him in confusion.

His search for the gunman led him to Chicago's stadium, in the basement more importantly. There he found Maurice Vega. The man behind the weapon. Aiden was brutal with his interrogation, almost killing him. He then subdued Maurice shortly after. He still needed him. so he kidnapped him with the help of a fixer Aiden hired. Jordi Chin. Jordi was nearly off the edge. with an edgy personality. He made up for it with his terrifying and brutal combat skills.

After he found the triggerman, he felt relieved. He felt calm after so many months tracking him down. As the days and weeks passed, Aiden was getting closer and closer to finding the person behind it all. The person who hired Maurice in the first place.  As he continued to act as the city's vigilante on the side, the city grew to like The Fox. Saving lives, and even catching a notable serial killer, the media painted him in a wonderful light. That is, until Damien entered the picture again. After a while, Damien saw what Aiden was doing. and he wanted answers as well. but not for Aiden. He wanted to know who the second hacker was. He needed Aiden's help. but Pearce declined. In a moment's notice, Damien kidnapped Aiden's sister, and demanded him to help him. Aiden was forced to agree.

After a few weeks of bloodshed, hacking, and injuries, Aiden finally found what Damien was looking for. but there was a problem. all of Damiens answers were on a hard drive, which was encrypted. Aiden needed help from the legendary hacker, "T-bone Grady". Aiden did some favors for him and in exchange, T-bone would help him decrypt the files. And when he did, Things didn't seem to get better.

Blackmail. hundreds, if not, thousands of gigabytes worth of blackmail of the city officials of Chicago. T-bone wanted this data to be public, but this came at a cost. Damien wouldn't agree to it, as he wanted the secrets all to himself.

Damien called Aiden to meet. There they shared a conversation, telling Aiden he was predictable for not bringing what he wanted. and then Damien did something unpredictable. He exposed The Fox. He plastered Pearce's face all over the billboards in the city. Aiden rushed to take down the news van that was displaying all these images, as well as escaping Chicago’s swat team and waited for things to calm down.

 Aiden finally had enough. He wanted his sister back. and he would do anything to get her to safety. He decided to track her down, and take her back, killing all of the fixers Damien hired. After that terrible ordeal,and his sister and nephew out of town, Aiden went back to his hideout. There he took a peek at the blackmail and it made him freeze.

 He found him. The man behind it all. The reason why Aiden will forever be changed.

Dermot "lucky" Quinn.

He couldn't believe it. all this time, it was Quinn. It didn't matter. Aiden wanted to make him pay. And so he stormed the Merlaut. the place where it had all begun, and started taking out everyone there. a shootout then broke out. Aiden slowly hacked his way to the top of the motel, dodging bullets, and taking down anybody who stood between him and the old man. He tracked him down to a room. in where Aiden hacked Quinn's secret hideout into being exposed. Quinn started to explain that he was the second hacker. Quinn explained he thought Aiden was going after something else. a video.

Quinn played the video. it entailed the mayor of chicago brutally murdering a woman in cold blood. all of it was caught on tape. every bullet Aiden shot. every struggle he had, every nightmare he’s experienced since that fateful day was because Quinn wanted to blackmail the mayor. 

Aiden had seen enough. Quinn deserved to die. and he made sure to do it himself. Through CTOS's recognition system, Aiden discovered a flaw in Quinn's person. a pacemaker. recently installed, and running on the latest version of CTOS. he hacked it. and as Quinn succumbed to heart failure, Aiden felt free. he felt like he could breathe again. He felt complete. He completed his path of vengeance.

Aiden turned to walk outside but was ambushed by two fixers. as Aiden quickly took down one, the other landed a fatal shot in Aidens abdomen. Aiden returned fire and took down the second fixer. as he laid there, dying on the ground, he couldn't help but smile. He was notorious in chicago. and furthermore, he helped bring closure towards his niece's death. as he closed his eyes for the final time, he knew he wouldn't be going to where his niece was. but at least he'll be at peace.

Aiden awoke sometime after, having the feeling of cold dirt underneath his trench coat. He sat up, and noticed something was amiss. There were other people in the distance, sitting around a large bonfire. something felt wrong. He instinctively reached for the gunshot wound that caused him to end up here, and felt nothing but dry cotton where his sweater is.

There was a problem here. And he knew he needed to step in.
