June 13, 2005. What a day, that was the day in which Ajax Dalton was born in the small village of Aigosthena. His parents represented what apparently was the oddest couple in the village, because his father was 6'7" and his mother was 5'1". Alastor, his dad was a fisherman that died on a boat accident when Ajax was only 3 years old, he drowned along with four other fishermen and his body was recovered only a month and a half after the accident.
His mother was his only family left in Aigosthena and she did the best she could to provide him all he needed. This being food, shelter and n education. The village itself had a small school that he attended until he was 8 years old, after this, his mother decided to send him to Tawa where his Aunt lived with her husband. Not really wanting to leave and becoming angry by that fact, Ajax created quite a problem in the village when he started a fight with a lot of the local boys. This lasted quite a while and ended with a level of destruction that definitely pushed him away from the village. His mother saved his ass from getting a beating from the elders (yeah, pacifists right?) by explaining that he was going away.
With no other option, he left, to live with his Aunt and Uncle in Tawa. They enrolled him in a local school, and he soon found himself in more trouble. Getting into fights with other boys, spending endless weeks under punishment for destroying school property. A good thing came up from this thou, a coach from school got him into two things, fighting (which included wrestling, boxing and even an odd mixture of martial arts) and pyramid. At the physical stuff, he was fantastic. Nevertheless he certainly had issues when it came to his studies.
While most teachers tried to pay him as little attention as possible because he was a bit of a problem; he had a math teacher that took the time to sit down with him and crunch math into his brain. As a result, he became good at it and it was the only subject in which he would get excellent grades. The rest? Barely enough to pass.
For the years to come and until his graduation, he spent most of his time playing Pyramid, Fighting (representing the school), learning how to fix things at the school and as always, getting into trouble, creating chaos and on different moments…almost getting expelled.
Yes, his grades weren't enough to land him in College but his skills as a Pyramid player did. Caprica University offered a full scholarship and the possibility of going pro with the Buccaneers. A young 18 years old Ajax accepted gladly, because by this time, he utterly hated Saggitaron. Ajax took Mathematics as his major, and started playing for his team. The first months of the season went great, the team was winning and everyone was quite pleased with him. That was until one game against the Leonis University. By that moment, he had reached his full height, a towering 6 feet, 11 inches. Compliments of his father. Given this fact, he was placed as a defense and, he got a bit carried away by one guy that was taunting him since the beginning of that match. He took the guy's neck, lifted him from the ground and slammed him against the floor. This resulted in his expulsion from the game, the entire league, the University and the entire Pro league…even if he wasn't even there.
At age 19, he was 'invited' to leave Caprica, so, he just went back to Saggitaron. It was already 2024 when he got back, and problems in his home planet were…complicated. There was a shit-storm there and some people saw him, fit, to be recruited. His fighting skills continued to grow, as well as his skill with weapons, he also picked up some basics in Demolitions and FirstAid. However, he soon realized that he was way better on his own and found something even better to do, something that would bring him money…and lots of it.
While the Saggitaron government asked the Fleet for help, they weren't the only ones that would do something. Prisons needed to be filled, and quickly, and criminals needed to be found. He became a Bounty Hunter and this, my friends, this unleashed his fury like no other thing.
Years went by again, he gained experience, he earned money, he got to bash people's heads against the walls, or pavement, or whatever hard surface he could find. He was seen by many as a filthy Saggitaron Scum. Of course, most of the ones that said that, got their asses in jail, where they were supposed to be in the first place.
2035 arrived, the Aigosthena Massacre took place, his mother died there. Things were going from bad, to worse. During that entire year, he would gain even more fame, the bad kind. He was aggressive, he was relentless and he had a task to complete. In 2036, when the CMC forces attacked the key points of this group (Operation Market Cage) he participated under his own rules. Ajax brought down many criminals, and he completely lost it when he reached a specific room inside a building. He saw five men that were torturing a young girl, they had event made comments about raping her. The sight of that helpless girl made his anger grow to new levels and he just smashed down the door, getting inside, getting shot in the process but in his anger, adrenaline was his fuel and he killed them with his own hands. By the time he was done, the girl was looking at him in horror and stayed like that for a moment, but then she ran towards him and hugged him. He took her in his arms and left the building.
Downstairs, a group of Marines were waiting for him, guns aimed at him. He lowered the kid to the ground, she tried to stop the Marines from doing anything, explaining that he hadn't done anything. Three marines approached the man with guns aimed at him and tried to make him kneel. He didn't like this and punched one in the chest, elbowing another one's face only to be shot by the third right in the chest. After being shot, he had enough energies to get his knee against this third marine's stomach. But alas, a Tazzer type of gun was used on him and while he did want to resist, he couldn't.
Five years he spent in Larkon Prison before everything went to hell thanks to the Cylons. During those five years, he got into quite a few fights, because a lot of people there, were put there by him. Still, each year he would turn more calm, focusing his energy on doing weight lifting, doing a lot of exercise, to keep himself fit.
The day the Cylon attacked, at the moment people realized about what was going on, he was outside in the yard. Many convicts tried to run for it, he did as well. Many were shot down, he didn't. After this went down, the guards of Larkon prison made the choice to let all convicts go, opening all doors aftewards and getting the hell out of there themselves. Ajax, along with a small group of convicts managed to take one of the Prison trucks and drove off. After maybe an hour they found a shelter nearby the prison. The first days outside, after the blast, they spent them working together but soon enough, some left. And since then…his focus is to, survive, and leave Saggitaron.
