Kelly Jackson AKA "Krazy Kelly" Age 33 6' 1" Opossum Known throughout his native city as a total psycho, Kelly was born on the northwest side of town in one of the famed slums called "Streets of Shit" by its residents. It was no exaggeration since the area had no proper plumbing and people were dumping their chamber pot contents out the windows into the alleys. Kelly was one of three surviving children from a family of seven and the eldest. A terrible case of flu swept the area in his late teens, killing his mother and two of his siblings and nearly taking him. Many folks suspect that the severity of the fever contributed to his apparent psychosis, but since he never saw a doctor in his life no one can confirm anything. He joined his father as a meat processing worker at the age of fourteen, but had to take a break due to the illness. He returned at age nineteen as his usual chipper and cheerful self in spite of the recent tragedies, and for a time it seemed he would be a well-adjusted, albeit impoverished, adult. It all changed when for no apparent reason whatsoever, he picked up one of the slaughtering sledgehammers (no easy feat for such a scrawny young man) and struck a fellow worker in the back with it. Said worker was permanently paralyzed from the chest down and Kelly was arrested that very afternoon. When asked why he assaulted his coworker, his response was "I dunno. I just felt like it." He was sentenced to ten years in prison, where his theft skills were sharpened with the help of fellow inmates and he committed several more assaults for apparently unknown reasons, one of which involved shoving a mouse inmate into a washer during laundry duty and screaming "STINKY CHEESE" at the top of his lungs. All added up, his time in solitary confinement AKA "The Hole" was about a year and a half. During the last year of his time there, a hitman came to the prison on a charge of trafficking alcohol. Reggie, as he called himself, was put in a cell with Kelly and eventually the two became friends. Since Reggie's sentence was only a few months and he was getting out around the same time as Kelly, they agreed to meet up when they were both free men. Upon release Kelly was introduced to the infamous Queen of Crime Selaine Fairbanks, and with Reggie's recommendation was hired as her newest hitman. A merciless thug on the job, it's often hard to believe that the same guy who shot down seven rival gang members outside a speak-easy is the same guy giggling over the word "penis" and eating food off the floor. Actually... that's pretty easy to believe. I take that back. :P
