Jammer/Blocker

On July 17th, years ago an abandoned newborn was found by an elderly barmaid in a dark alley behind a run down martini bar in south Dallas. The hardhearted owner demanded the orphan be banished until realizing the infant lifted the spirits of the patrons and that a bartending baby might make for an excellent side show attraction. So he kept her and named her Olive. Soon the barmaid died, leaving Olive with the abusive barkeep as her only guardian. Olive was loved by the patrons as a child, but as she grew, the love turned to lust. The seedy boozers could not help but notice the woman she was becoming and neither could the boss. Being a shrewd businessman, the barkeep used this for personal gain, and his patrons’ personal enjoyment. He forced Olive to wear provocative, revealing clothing and put on roller skates. He knew that when she fell down they would all get a show, and buy another round. Although the alcoholics were nasty, the boss heartless and the hours endless, she still found a passion…to skate. The years she endured in this sinful, lawless and alcohol fueled environment, surrounded by groping men and jealous women, made her cunning and streetwise, headstrong and tough.

She quietly plotted revenge on her evil boss and the lushes that stole her childhood. She dreamed of escaping to a world where she made the rules and answered to no one, not even the law. She finally reached her limit one night when the boss grabbed her ass, with a few drunks following suit.

In a fit of rage she slammed his head into the bar, tossed him to the floor and stomped him with her skates. In her fury, she broke bottle after bottle and showered the place with vodka and blood, just as she had planned. Amidst the ensuing screams and chaos she calmly struck a single match, dropped it onto the bar and skated out the backdoor. She skated down the alley from whence she came, never looking back as the night was set ablaze. In that moment she realized she had another passion and a new destiny…total anarchy. Her new found life of freedom now entails evading the law, arson, extortion, robbery, trafficking, looting, murder and most important of all…ROLLERDERBY.
