Personal History[]
Born on August 1st, 2002, Harris Hartly was a highly-intelligent child and was raised by wealthy, conservative parents. In 2021, Harris enlisted with the Dystopian Air Force. He earned an outstanding record with high grades in piloting and mechanical repair. Harris was in service for 10 years, until 2031, when during an air show the thrusters on his plane became jammed and he flew off into the desert. Harris ejected from the cockpit before crashing and his parachute chair sailed into a junkyard. The chute became tangled onto one of the junkyard's disabled telephone poles and the wires snapped, sending Harris nine feet towards the ground head-first. He received a head injury that resulted his eccentric personality. Harris also received amnesia from his injury and he forgot about most of his military background.
The Dystopian Air Force posted a missing persons report about Hartly, but after a year of searching, it was called off and Harris was presumed dead.
