Josh Averys

Josh Averys

A character in RIFTS:Texas

BIO

Former (only surviving member) of the merc group know as the Wild Bunch. 10 members who specialized in powered armor combat for the right price. Unfortunately, when you're good and easily reconizable, you're bound to piss off the wrong person, and a Glitter Boy was hired to put them down.

It was a blood bath, with the ground based members getting picked off and left limping, forcing the others into combat range. Averys spent most of the 6 hour battle trying to organize a recovery and retreat, but a round from the Boom Gun took him out of the fight.

After getting their suits home and burials done, Josh struck out for the nearest Black Market repair station, and has spent the past several years looking for both work when he can, and a GB pilot whose head he wants on a stick.
