Samson Hester

Background
Samson Hester, or better known as Rocket, is a character from the plane Wiess. He works as a mechanical engineer and is a member of the motorcycle club known as Sons of Varanus.

Rocket had a tough upbringing with a neglectful father and a mother who passed away when he was young. Rocket’s father, David, struggled to cope immensely after his wife had passed away, and a lot of his emotional trauma was unfortunately let out on Rocket in the form of physical abuse.

In Rocket’s later teenage years he ran away from home and lived out in the cold for a small while before he was taken in by the parents of his childhood best friend, Mickey.

Snake, Mickey’s uncle, spent a lot of time with Rocket once Mickey had gone off to fight at war. Snake was one of the only individuals Rocket actually spoke up to about his personal struggles, and this causes the two of them to form quite a close bond. Later down the line, Rocket works hard to become a member of the Sons of Varanus, the motorcycle club of which Snake is the president of. Having long since moved out and gotten his own apartment, Rocket is currently the secretary of the Sons of Varanus. Although trusted to put effort into his job, Rocket oftentimes takes his duties overboard, working late into the night and waking early to continue with it. Although this workload proves good for Rocket’s mental wellbeing at the best of times, it has also been known to send him spiralling into depression. It is because of these dark times that Rocket has had to repeatedly come clean from both alcoholism and drug abuse more than once, guided softly by the hands of the doctors at his mental health ward.

Throughout his teenage years, Rocket began creating a bunch of humorous comic strips featuring many familiar faces which you may have seen before. As Rocket’s art style matured alongside his age, the characters and the world of which they came from began development, and are presently referred to as the Garbage City comics. Although it is completely unbeknownst to Rocket himself, the Garbage City world was actually made a reality at the hands of Willow, who was inspired by Rocket’s creations.

Similarly to the original comics, the world of Garbage City was very bright and colourful, but due to one of Rocket’s worst depressive episodes, Azazel was attracted to the actual plane, and as a result, the people of Garbage City were doomed to the state they're in today.""""
