Huey Birdman

Huey Birdman is a character role-played by SHANE P LAWRIE.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Huey Birdman is often confused for a Wastelander or even worse as a flat lander dressed for Halloween. The greatest insult to Huey Birdman is to tell him he has a fantastic mask, or worse, a horrible mask. He has his proud red feathers sticking out from his balding head with a red cross on his forehead to indicate he was a punisher in the Bird Nation.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Huey Birdman is a proud member of the Bird Tribe. Located in the heights of the Mt Chiliad the tribe has been mainly hidden from society for years. The Tribe which mainly hunted wildlife for many years has been forced to start turning to other prey. Mountain Hikers and lycra clad mountain bikers who have been encroaching on the traditional hunting areas and killing off their traditional prey for fun and wall trophies.

The Bird Tribe worship the great Angry Birdicus. A small statured, tubby red bird known for his angry outbursts felt through the rumblings of the mountain. Everything that happens is all tied back to Angry Birdicus. Rain. Fire. Wind. Storms. Lightning.

The alternative rumours that have swirled in the tribe is that there is no great Angry Birdicus in the sky. He in fact was a misguided fool who created the Bird Tribe as an offshoot of the Altruists who created a camp at Mount Chiliad. He left the colony in his late teens taking with him other teens who felt they had been hard done by. They stumbled upon a cave with prehistoric bird remains and adorned their faces with these masks. Eventually wearing them so much they fused to their skin and bone. New borns were fitted with masks and their faces moulded overtime to fit into the Bird camp look.

Huey however, is unshaken in his faith that the great Angry Birdicus exists.

Over the years many pieces of paper and books have been taken off their prey and they have learnt the language of the flatlanders. They often stalk alongside the trails the flatlanders have made listening to the conversations and learning to say the words. The meaning of many of these words are not known properly, but they have learnt the basics after thousands of years.

But back to Huey Birdman. Huey has been living a blissful life hunting their new prey and tending to his family traditions including the Bird dance. He wanders around the mountains looking out for any who stray too close to their nest. His trusty machete at his side. Birds people are not permitted to kill each other unless there is vote on it by all of the Bird people and even then only a select few are permitted to carry out those kills. Huey Birdman is one of those select few.

Within the nest he is generally respected and no-one will speak ill of him, although they know he can’t kill them without a vote, they still fear what would happen if they ever had to face his punishment. Huey has on occasion drawn out the killing to give his own little signature on the punishment.

The most recent time, a Birdman killed another Birdman over some shiny jewels that were found on one mountain hiker. The fascination with the jewels led the offending Birdman to cut the feathers off the head of his victim before stuffing them down his throat. Huey Birdman knows that feathers are only to be removed to assist with saving a life and is the most ultimate sacrifice a Birdman can make.

Upon the offender being found guilty, Huey Birdman jumped down from his perch and restrained the offending Birdman. With one swift action he removed the Birdman’s beak and before the offending Bird or the assembled tribe members could react, the beak was shoved into the anal cavity of the offending Birdman.

Huey then cut the restraints off, picked the offending Birdman up and slammed him onto a seat hard. He grabbed the side of the offending Birdmans’ and as the shriek of pain spewed out of the offending Birdmans’ mouth, Huey Birdman join in the primal scream until the offending Birdman died.

Silence fell upon the entire next. Beaks all falling in unison. As Huey stood and looked around he had a moment of wondering if he’d gone too far. However no-one would ever question his killing methods.

A few months after that incident, he was out on a 24 hour hunt. The pickings had been slim lately with signs warning mountain hikers and cyclists not to stray from the paths due to the “murder kitties” who were increasing in numbers.

After returning home with his latest kill, a female flatlander having a late night mountain bike, he was walking through the nest with his prey draped over his shoulders. All the clothing had been removed and sent to the nests’ clothing birds to make new outfits for the nest.

Walking past his bed he thought it would be an idea to have a quick sit down to rest his tired legs. He quickly and unfortunately fell asleep. He awoke to his Mothers’ screams. Her accusing gaze piercing his sould. He looked down and had ended up in the spooning position with the naked mountain hikers’ body. He jumped up and stumbled through his words. His Mother told him to leave the nest as she couldn’t look at him right now. He ran out of the nest, forgetting to pick up his machete, with just a little bit of food and water in his containers into the darkness. He tripped over a rock and tumbled down the mountain all the way to the bottom.

He awoke to a vision of Angry Birdicus telling him to go investigate the flatlanders and learn their ways.

Now he enters the land of the flatlanders with no knowledge of how to do anything. Strangely he has been setup with a minimal set of items but with no mention of who set them up for him. Perhaps the great Angry Birdicus is more than just a legend.

Will he be able to satisfy his thirst for mountain hiker / cyclists blood? Will he find someone to take him under their figurative wing and show him the way of the flatlanders? Could he be led astray by some people wanting to take advantage of such a naïve bird.

For now though, he will have to walk the streets of the city figuring out what the funny pieces of paper in his pants are with peoples faces and numbers on them, what are the mechanical beasts that are controlled from the inside by the flatlanders?

PERSONALITY

While underneath he has a fierce mentality from his days as the Bird Nation punisher, his out of placeness in the flatlands has led him to retreat. Where usually he'd be quick to enact a punishment on someone who deserved it, he is not quick to act now. He isn't sure who is or isn't his friend and who is using him for their own gain.

ARRIVAL TO LOS SANTOS

Upon arriving in Los Santos he was met by a strange man controlling a mechanical beast, he told Huey to keep walking south towards the big city and he'd find some interesting things to explore as a newcomer to the Flatlands.

Halfway down the highway, a strange mechanical beast pulled up next to him and its rear end was opened. The flat landers inside the beast kept asking him if he wanted a ride, but he wasn't sure about getting into the rear end of a beast. They ended up leaving him on the side of the road.

A short time later, a larger mechanical beast pulled up with another flat lander at the controls. He was told it was a tow truck and the lady driving it took him around the city for the day introducing him to Burger Shot and making money which he would need to survive. She also showed him the apartments where he had an access card in his pockets for.

THE FIRST FEW MONTHS

He spent a week hanging around with a guy called Sal who showed him some tricks to make some money including Dodo and Fishing. Sal seemed to know what he was talking about and Huey Birdman took a shine to him hoping to spend more time with him, however Sal also had a lot of people talking to him so Huey Birdman shrunk back as he didn't want to overstep Sal's friendliness.

After meeting a man called George on a Dodo run, he was told about a guy called Mickey Mouse and how he'd take the Birdman in and help him find his way in the city. He was shown some ways to make money selling little baggies of an item, how to shoot guns and much more.

However he has since spent every few days laid up in bed with bullet wounds, amnesia and a ever shrinking bank account which is now empty after he built up a fortune working hard at Dodo, Towing and Fishing.

Each time he wakes up, one of the Mickey crew has been there to reintroduce him to the crew and get him set up again with things to help Mickey out with such as guns and ammo. Huey Birdman often finds himself on the end of the questions "How long have you known Mickey Mouse?" and "Who do you run with?". As far as Huey Birdman knows based on his amnesia, he only just met Mickey Mouse, but in fact he has known him for months now and is even listed on Mickey's casino property which was given to him to allow him to store his prized Tornado Gasser away from the apartments where it often got scratched and dented by the crazy antics of flatlanders parking in the area.

BEEF WITH THE GSF

Huey Birdman found himself involved with beef between Mickey Mouse and GSF lately, the latest when Mickey stole a chain from the GSF. Huey was approached by the GSF in the carpark of the casino, however he couldn't initially see them as their green car was hidden behind some green bushes. Huey was quite grumpy at the time due to having just woken up at the hospital with bullet wounds and amnesia again. He was asked by the GSF who he rolled with and answered the truth he knew at the time ... No One.

However a short time later Mickey was on the phone, bringing him back into the crew and Huey went off to pick him up and take him to sell some watches. On the way back to the apartments both Mickey and Huey were shot and taken by the GSF in the carpark of the apartments. He was asked how long he knew Mickey and answered as only he could know, just that day.

After some discussion with GSF members, he was allowed to live on the proviso that he deleted Mickey from his phone and no longer associated with him. The GSF took him to the hospital to get him patched up and later as Huey was limping back to the apartments for some rest, gave him back all the items they took from him again reminding him to stay clear of Mickey.

This has now left Huey Birdman with a decision to make, keep hanging with Mickey who has only brought him bullet wounds, amnesia and a shrinking bank balance .. or turn a new leaf and take GSF's advice. Stay clear of Mickey and live a lead free life.
