Micro grew up watching her older brother Chip playing with RC cars. She showed an affinity for them the moment she held a controller. She entered RC races all over using her skills to win race after race. When her brother joined the National Guard she knew she wanted to do the same on her 18th birthday.
She never had the chance. The undead rose up and began attacking. Her parents tried their best to protect her but ended up falling prey to the zombie masses. To survive she began using the various remote-controlled trucks and cars she had to trip the shambling corpses. She quickly got the idea to weaponize them, using a drill she screwed anything sharp she could find; kitchen knives, saw blades, etc. She used them to great effect. When Chip arrived they were able to escape. They amassed a collection of civilian and military drones and use them to protect their home.
Chip grew up in the typical suburban nuclear family; mom, dad, little sister, and a dog on a typical suburban cul da sac. He grew up riding his bike around the neighborhood with the other kids. Got good grades in school. Participated in extra-curricular activities. It was during a weekend school trip that he saw his first RC truck race. The sounds of the speedy engines whizzing around the track along with the smell of the burning fuel were intoxicating. He went home and begged his parents for a remote-controlled car. They took him to a local hobby shop where he purchased a Traxxas Rustler. The moment they got home, Chip shot outside to race his car.
By the time he was in high school, he had a vast collection of RC vehicles and drones and was entering races as often as he could alongside his little sister Micro. They loved the challenges and the varying techniques needed to control different types of vehicles. By his senior year, he had won state and national competitions. This brought him to the attention of the local Army recruiter. The recruiter told him of the opportunities he could have in the military if he'd sign on as MOS 15W-Unmanned-Aircraft- Systems (UAS)-Operator. He couldn't sign on the line fast enough.
